Mayetta Martel, a junior education, English, and communication studies major, got her tattoo on her neck to symbolize her faith. "It is a combination of my faith as a Christian and the science of the world. Basically, an atom is what makes up the entire universe, and it’s the foundation of everything. That’s what god is—god created the entire universe in my mind. It’s also an oxygen atom because there was a song that I really liked at church camp that went “every breath I take I breathe in you”. The word “sum” is there because it means ‘I am’, because god is the great ‘I am’... It’s on the back of my neck because that’s the most centered place I can put it, and I wanted it to have a centering aspect to it. Like it’s the center of my life, my body, my everything.”
