Just got this tattoo on Monday. It's located on the outside of my right leg, and it's a little larger than the size of a credit card. The tail wraps around to the back of my leg and that's why there's that odd blue line in the pic because it's actually two pictures faded together.

It was done by Christine Nelson at No Ka Oi Tiki Tattoo on South Street in Philadelphia.

hey guys! i'm new, and this is my first tattoo. it's a logarithmic spiral (within a golden rectangle), which you find everywhere in science and art. galaxies swirl in this pattern, birds descend from the air in this pattern...it's everywhere. the proportions of the golden rectangle that my tattoo is of is dictated by the golden ratio (phi) which is ~1.618:1. no matter how large or small the spiral is, it maintains its shape, so it is a symbol of constancy and perseverance. the golden ratio is frequently found in things we find to be aesthetically pleasing and frequently dictate the way things grow (like seeds on a sunflower or rows of spikes on a pineapple), so to me it is the unifying factor for science and beauty.
