  • A tattoo to introduce a unit on visualizations. One of the data visualizations is of a pie chart with percentages that add up to over 100% so a teacher might ask a class if they see any errors in the tattoos (as with most cartoons axes are not labelled so that can be another point of discussion). The cartoon was drawn by American cartoonist Jon Carter in 2014.
