Hello, I just wanted to say I absolutely love your tumblr and it has somewhat inspired me to contribute to the cause I’m not sure if you take submissions or not but I created a body art piece that is medically accurate (well as medically accurate as something that not all anatomy textbooks actually agree on can be) and I would absolutely love if you reblogged any of the pieces from this project. I’m currently working on a bachelors degree in sports medicine and I wanted to create a piece of photography that represents my own internal struggle between the symphysis of art and science. The human body has nerve pathways that are called dermatomes they represent the different vertebrae and the areas of the skin that they innervate with sensory nerves.Essentially what I did was paint these dermatomes on the skin of a model with blacklight paint.
Thank you very much for your time and have a wonderful day,
-Elliot Smithson
