Mood Memes

Chemistry's greatest mood swing! Table salt (NaCl) is a happy compound that enhances your fries, while its separated elements are basically supervillains plotting world destruction. Sodium explodes in water and chlorine was literally used as a chemical weapon. Next time someone's salty, remind them they could be much worse—they could be elemental sodium or chlorine!

Nothing says "I'm chemically dependent on happiness" quite like permanently etching serotonin's molecular structure into your skin! That bright magenta formula is basically saying "I love my happy chemicals so much I'm making them part of my identity." The little "<3" at the end is the chef's kiss - because nothing screams "science nerd with feelings" like using the mathematical less-than symbol to complete a heart emoji. For the uninitiated, serotonin is that glorious neurotransmitter responsible for regulating mood, happiness, and well-being. Ironically, the people most likely to get this tattoo are probably the ones whose brains are stingiest with the actual molecule. Talk about wearing your neurochemistry on your sleeve!
