I thought of a new tattoo idea, I’m considering having the numbers from Pi (3.1415926535897932384626433832795…) tattooed onto my body. Either from one arm to the other, across the shoulder, or down my spine. Perhaps I can even fill in my maze solution with the numbers in red.

That said, there are a few problems:

1. This idea isn’t as great as the maze was, though nothing will be.
2. Since Pi is an infinite number, what digit should I stop at? Here are the first 10,000 digits, you decide for me :wink:
3. What if the tattoo artist makes a mistake while transcribing the numbers?

At least this tattoo, if I ever get it, will be much less money than my maze tattoo.

1. I’ve had similar ideas about tattoos.  I already have a semi-eponymous tattoo on my back.  I’ve often thought about getting several alphabets tattooed around a leg.  I believe I know several people who have relatives birthdays tattooed in lines on them.

1. that is the stupidest fucking thing i have ever heard of, you stupid fucking math geek!

1. Whatever floats your boat. I wouldn’t date someone who’s got “Pi” all over him. I personally think that’s a really fucking lame and not very creative idea. I mean hell, get whatever you want tattoed as long as it has a personal meaning to you aswell, but by the looks of it it’s just a “gag tattoo” you’ll end up regretting even more than that stupid ugly maze in a couple of years time. (The yellow line through it looks like urine, like the one who was walking it peed along the way.)
   Besides, if the tattoo was meaningful you wouldn’t go asking people for suggestions, you’d know exactly what you wanted already. For the love of God, spend your money on something that isn’t as ugly and retarded.

1. I wonder what those numbers would equal if you add them all together. What if you reduced them to one digit? you know like in numerology.

1. Pi goes on infinitely so you wouldn’t be able to add them up.

1. you should stop at the 314th number; because that’s all most people know Pi to be (3.14)

   Hope it works out for you!

1. I have the Pi symbol on the inside of my arm then starting from the shoulder I have the numbers of Pi spiraling down my arm to my elbow it’s only the first 80 or 90 digits around the numbers I have cherry blomssoms everywhere but your not the first to think of this one I thought of it as the number reflects my life and I got it done and everyone I run into admire it and I’m not even a math major I’m a history, political sicence majors.

1. Somehow it is a limit not to be able to write all the Pi numbers. What about replacing the numbers with a big greek symbol in bold?

1. i think the person who wrote that its a stupid idea and its ugly and retarded to tattoo pi on ones self should be a bit more open minded, its not like they were going to tattoo it on YOU is it?? its not my favourite idea but each to their own, so long as people are happy thats cool. You are probably rubbish at maths and people arent geeks just because they are good at it.im rubbish at it but i admire those who like it and do well in it. so maybe you should think about that and not judge people so much in future. but thats just my opinion, just like you have the right to yours. its just that yours annoyed me slightly because it was a bit harsh.

1. in answer to your question about ‘where to stop’, may i suggest that u memorise a certain section of pi
   and only tattoo the section that u have memorised
   if u then memorise another 20 places later, u can always have it added to the tattoo
   that way the tattoo will grow with your knowledge of pi

   NAMASTE!
