My next tattoo will be a connect-the-dots tattoo. I have no idea what the solution will be an image of but I am pretty positive it will consist of solving a connect-the-dots puzzle.

I was considering somehow integrating pi into the design by numbering the dots in order of Pi (3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, etc.) but I can’t decide on what artwork to have drawn through the dots and need to find an artist to make the artwork.

I’d also like to track down Pon, who made my first tattoo, and have him do the second as well.

1. A few thoughts:

   1. There are plenty of infinite sequences besides the digits of Pi. The Fibonacci sequence is a good one since it makes a nice spiral and it relates to sex. The prime numbers are another series, but just as abstract as Pi. There’s ‘e’, the base of the natural logarithm, and there’s the Golden ratio.

   2. If you’re doing digits, you don’t have to limit yourself to decimal.

   3. You don’t have to use a square projection. Just as on TV everything looks better in slow motion, in math everything looks better in polar coordinates.

   I’ve been thinking about this sort of thing myself because I’ve been wondering how I could fit some of the mathematical ideas I work with into a tatoo, but they’re based on relational theory so they don’t really *look* like anything and there aren’t too many famous or historic theorems…

   My view is that I’ll start with a more straightforward design and add my own symbols to it.
