Ready for your next tattoo but you aren’t sure what to get? Have no fear, someone who is highly unqualified to make this decision for you is here! And if you’re looking for a tattoo to reflect your passions, the degree you’re working toward (or the degree you’ve already received) is a great place to start.

Accounting/Finance

Basic, but honestly I couldn’t imagine a calculator tattoo being so cute?

Art

With such a beautiful major, you really do have a lot to choose from. Your body truly is a canvas.

Archeology

Keep discovering. 

Chemistry

It’s a chemystery as to why you haven’t gotten one of these tattoos yet!

Computer Science

Who says you can’t go deep or meaningful with a tattoo?

English

Your options aren’t limited to just quotes! Go for something minimalist or perhaps an artistic take of your favorite title.

History

This is one of two majors where it’s appropriate to get a Hamilton tattoo.

Language

Get a phrase or famous art piece done in your area of study.

Math

Beauty is everywhere. Even in math.

Nursing

Here’s to hoping that you aren’t afraid of needles.

Physics

Can’t decide between atomic or planetary? Why not both?

Theater

The other major where a Hamilton-related tattoo has a whole other meaning.

Whether it’s your first tattoo or your next, this guide’s got you covered.

Emily is a senior at Carthage College double majoring in English, with an emphasis in creative writing, and theatre, with an emphasis in costume design. She has also studied writing at Columbia University in the City of New York and The Second City - Chicago. Some of Emily's talents include eating large portions of pasta, quoting 80s romantic comedies, and unwanted Louis Armstrong impressions. These will all be very useful for her future career in television writing and producing.

Carthage '19

Jane graduated from Carthage College in May 2019 with a degree in English and Secondary Education. She is from Merced, California, which is close enough to San Fransisco for her to confirm that the City by the Bay is her absolute favorite. When she's not teaching or writing articles, she can be found collecting any book she can get her hands on, watching Netflix, staring mindlessly into the void, or napping.
