Scientific tattoos

Today I have been looking at Geeky Tattoos. Then [livejournal.com profile] rowan_leigh pointed me at Science Tattoo Emporium. Some of the tattoos are supremely awesome and come with a deep personal story, others are just.. boggling.

The one that I am most utterly bemused by though is the woman who has Freezepop's Science Genius Girl logo tattooed on her leg and doesn't even know that's what it is. She thinks it's "the international symbol for woman chemist". Well, maybe it should be the international symbol for female chemists, but it isn't yet - it's a logo designed for a record cover! Of course, it is an awesome design - but if I were ever to get it tattooed on myself it would be partly because I'm a female chemist and partly to commemorate my deep love of Freezepop.

"[...] clearly this must be the international symbol for woman chemist. [...]"

It could go either way, really. I read it as "dosen't know what it is", but reading it after your comment now, I can see this also being correct.
