T O P I C R E V I E WAlanAre there astronauts who have a tattoo?James BrownI don't know about any astronauts, but I have a tattoo of the Mercury 7 logo on my right upper arm. I love it.ejectrNot really what you call a tattoo, but John Glenn noted in his book that he, at least, had them tattoo the spots where they attached the biological sensors so that they could get the same spot all the time to corrolate the data. I think I read somewhere that a couple of the others did this, too.PhilipI believe I saw this photo of Kay Hire with a (temporary?) tattoo on her left-shoulder...pokeyThen there's the STS-98 crew's Bad Boy safety poster. They each have barbed wire with dripping blood tatoos on their upper arm. Cockrell had his flight suit on at the STS-111 homecoming yesterday, so was unable to see if it was a permanent tatoo or not. Will ask Tom Jones today if he decided to make his permanent. Tee hee. WAWalsh If memory serves correctly, Pete Conrad had a Princeton Tiger tattoo.Robert PearlmanNPR: A History of Space Science, In Ink Science Friday listener Josh Scott is on a mission: He wants to get a pictorial history of space exploration tattooed on his arm. What missions or satellites should be included? Apollo? Hubble? Call in with your suggestions and help Scott get sleeved in space science style.music_spaceI stumbled upon this. Anyone knows whose this is?Robert PearlmanApparently it belongs to reddit member Longh0rse.NJSPACEFANI think I remember seeing a USMC tattoo on Jack Lousma's arm at the ASF show; but I could be wrong. p51I heard rumors from some friends who work at JSC who were there in the heyday of the STS era that a few astronauts tattooed their names and/or SSNs on various body parts after the Challenger disaster. You can figure out the reasons on your own.I've always wondered if it was true or not, but I've never had the nerve to ask any shuttle-era astronauts I've talked with about it.Neil DCI believe Luca Parmitano has a small one on his chest and in a tennis playing shot of Vladimir Kovalyonok he had a plant/leaves like design on his left forearm. moorouge quote:Originally posted by WAWalsh: If memory serves correctly, Pete Conrad had a Princeton Tiger tattoo.Contempory reports said that this was an anchor and stars.

I love a comment posted on his Reddit page: "This is clearly a hoax. The tattoo is sharpie. I can tell because shadows."Robert PearlmanAnd then there's this... Four sittings and a year later, it's finally done. The work was done at Electric Zombie Tattoo and Piercing in Athens, Pennsylvania.DeepSea quote:Originally posted by moorouge:Contemporary reports said that this was an anchor and stars.

Slate: My Step-Dad, the Astronaut When they married, I was a characteristically dogmatic, liberal freshman at Wesleyan, and Pete was — well, he had a Navy anchor tattoo on his arm, and a photo of him shaking hands with Nixon on the wall of his office. In years gone by, the company I work for had a cartoon mascot based on the name of the in-house diving helmet we used. This thing made its way onto t-shirts, manuals, logbooks, decals, shipping containers; everything. One hand even went so far as to get it tattooed on his thigh. Imagine his face when he was fired a month later for something unrelated... awkward timing.
