This was my first tattoo. I’ve always had a love for mathematics and academia in general, so I decided to get that love permanently manifested upon my body so that I will never forget it. It’s called Euler’s Identity, and is considered one of the most beautiful equations in mathematics, because it connects the five fundamental numbers (e, i, pi, 1, 0) using the fundamental operations (addition, multiplication, exponentiation, and equation). Although I’m now an English major and never plan on taking another math course again, there are absolutely no regrets on getting this done, and it is my favorite of the four I have.
