Inside: Best Pi tattoo ideas that number people will love.
Before I start this, I need to admit something to you: I am not a number person. Ah, I know. I’m sorry. I really wish I was; I just am not. I won’t say that I don’t have it in me, but it has never interested me enough to really go for it. But one thing that I do understand is pi.
Did this number interest me because it has the same name as one of my favorite foods? Perhaps. But regardless, I am now a person who gets a kick out of the number 3.14.
If you are like me, or even more mathematically inclined, I think you clicked on the right article because today, I found the coolest Pi tattoo ideas that a number of people are going to go crazy for. You are going to prove every stereotype wrong with this. You’ll prove that number of people CAN be cool! Okay, jokes aside…let’s see these.

Pi Tattoo Cost
Now, I hate to be the barrer of bad news, but the cost of a pi tattoo is not $3.14. Though that is an epic chance for a pun, that would just be too cheap. So you can expect your pi tattoo to cost anywhere from $50 Dollars for a tiny one to over $1000 If you are getting a huge one.
It all really depends on how long it takes your artist to finish it. The pi symbol is pretty cheap, but there are so many ways to spruce it up, so you really never know.
Do Pi Tattoos Hurt?
The answer to this is obviously yes. All tattoos hurt, it is in their DNA. In order to get a tattoo you have to be stabbed about a thousand times a second. So I am going to go out on a limb here and guess that it will be pretty painful.
The good news is that there are so many tips and tricks that you can do to make your experience better beforehand and during your appointment. My biggest tip is Numbing cream.
Now, if you haven’t heard of numbing cream, it basically does what it sounds like it does: It numbs you. You just put it on before and during your session, and you are golden.
If you are trying to decide on a place to get your tattoo, may I suggest somewhere that is not boney. The boney areas on the body hurt the most when getting a tattoo. Take my word for this, if you are scarred you should opt for an arm tattoo instead of a rib one.
What Is Pi?
Though I doubt anyone reading this doesn’t know what Pi is since you are looking for tattoo ideas based on it, I will still run a crash course to refresh your memory. According to this article,Â
Pi—which is written as the Greek letter for p, or π—is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle’s size, this ratio will always equal pi. In decimal form, the value of pi is approximately 3.14. But pi is an irrational number, meaning that its decimal form neither ends (like 1/4 = 0.25) nor becomes repetitive (like 1/6 = 0.166666…). (To only 18 decimal places, pi is 3.141592653589793238.) Hence, it is useful to have shorthand for this ratio of circumference to diameter.
So there you have it, I hope this helped!
