molecular structure/tattoo help needed

stonerkid · 04-05-2011, 06:24 PM

Hey guys! its me asking for your help again! anyways im getting my first tattoo pretty soon and i want to make sure i know exactly what i want. What im getting is the 2d molecular structure of serotonin on my left arm and dopamine on my right (kinda on the elbow where it would face behind me if my hands where at my sides). the thing is i don't really understand shit about molecular structure and i know some of you out there do so i was wondering if someone could explain a little of it to me?
thx

Hey guys could you describe to me the things that im so super interested in and dedicated to that Im going to permanently place them on my body?

lol

if you have to ask it's probably not the best idea.

stonerkid · 04-05-2011, 06:37 PM

this is what im trying to avoid.

"Two-dimensional chemical structure diagrams are a language with both grammar and aesthetics. For example, if you draw pentavalent carbon, you’ve probably made a grammatical mistake. Aesthetics come into play when a grammatically-correct structure doesn’t readily make sense because it uses unfamiliar drawing conventions such as strange bond angles, random bond lengths, unusual orientations, or atom labels that are too small. If you’ve ever worked in an interdisciplinary environment where non-chemists draw structures (god bless ‘em for trying), you’ve probably experienced the importance of structure aesthetics."

but how do i know which structure is perfect? there are so many different styles! ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Lol anyone got a diagram of meth molecules

The Rev · 04-05-2011, 07:10 PM

Why not a THC molecule? You got something against stoners?

stonerkid · 04-05-2011, 07:45 PM

lol well i was thinking that i could start with those two and then if i felt like it i could expand into other molecules like thc and lsd and psilocybin and make like a whole molecular sleeve. or i could just stick with the two..........

edit: it is super dumb to be getting a tattoo of something you obviously don't understand

stonerkid · 04-05-2011, 07:51 PM

i know thats why i want you to help explain it to me! I think it looks super cool and I like the meaning i have in it but i would like to learn a little about it before i fully decide to put it on my body.......=p

Serotonin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dopamine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

José · 04-05-2011, 07:54 PM

What is your meaning?

ChiefBongWater · 04-05-2011, 07:58 PM

Are you really gonna want molecules on your arm 20-30 years down the road?

José · 04-05-2011, 07:59 PM

there are so many better molecules to get than seratonin. dopamine isn't a terrible idea. but something like this...

Triiodothyronine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

or like adrenaline or something super bad ass.

oh and if you do decided to carry out this idea. I suggest getting it small, like 2" long at most.

personally, yes I do whant molecules on my arm 20-30 years down the road. just not in tattoo form.

Captain Cannabis · 04-05-2011, 08:06 PM

just get some generic stencils from the tattoo shop and make up a deep meaning for them

well the reason i want the molecules is that in the past few years I did all sorts of mdxx chemicals and psychedelics and all who knows what and they have made me who I am today, a happier, more outgoing, more self confident person then i was. However i have moved on from doing drugs every weekend and now work full time and go to school part time and i want something other then my memories to remind me of all the good times i had and when i look at those molecules it reminds me of all the time i spent researching then finally consuming and then all the great experiences i had and all the people i met and the things i learned and probably would have never seen if it wasn't for the manipulation of my dopamine and my serotonin.

**Mafoo** · 04-05-2011, 09:10 PM

i know what youre saying there.

for me personally, id rather have a symbol rather than these molecular structures. its not that the molecules arent interesting, i just know ive met alot of (ravers) people who have similar tats.

its your skin, do what youre gonna do!

PS look in a chemistry or biochemistry text and youll find alot of different views of the molecules.

In terms of %'s this point in your life is a fairly large one. However, as years by, it will become a smaller % of you're life, and your head will continue to be blown off with other wisdom.

I would ink it it first with marker to make sure you like it.

This sounds really impulsive which is the douchiest reason to get ink.

Nothing personal.

Suliman · 04-05-2011, 09:27 PM

Dude its hilarious that i learned of your tattoos on yahooka!

personally, im more of a ball-and-stick model kinda guy,you know with red for oxygen and shit, instead of letters

Elbow tats fade like a mothafucka too

i know everyone's gonna rag you on this one, so i wont ;p

Not the worst tattoo idea ever though. I mean, it beats your girlfriends name; at least you're stuck with the same neurotransmitters for life
