I blogged in 2008 that if ever I would get a permanent tattoo, I would get something like the one pictured above. This is a stylized Greek letter phi which represents the golden ratio. The golden ratio is my favorite number by far and I just love how it is crops up in so many places and how it provides a nice blend of mathematics and art. I love it so much that I made that logo for my amateur QuickBASIC software “company”.

Late last year, Judd commented on my tattoo blog post wanting to know who did that logo. I told him that I’m the designer and Judd mentioned that somebody actually went and got a tattoo of my phi logo.

I’m quite flattered that someone thinks that my phi logo is good enough to be immortalized as a tattoo design. Do you think that I should charge him royalties?
