Dilbert once said, “The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers.” It is probably, more or less, these thoughts that led to the [Pi lip tattoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-oral-tattoos), proving that the strangest of numbers is indeed found in the strangest of places. So, if you feel ready, you too can declare your love to the math-domineered cosmos and its magical number Pi with a [fine tattoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-tattoo-creator), which allegedly holds the key to the universe.
