“I’m a physics major that’s going into planetary science and I’ve always been in love with the planets and stars. I actually have two science tattoos. One is the astronomical symbol for Jupiter, my favorite planet, and one of its biggest moons Io. The other one is my favorite constellation, Orion. I chose both of these because I’ve been fascinated by the universe and all it holds since I was really little.”
