Wow! Nothing but numbers can do wonders as a tattoo. But surprisingly enough these numbers are not the rational mathematical calculation. What we find here is 6×9 =42. Perhaps, one should not look at it as numbers, but should look it as the visual representation of some hidden truth about the universe. But if it is true, the universe itself seems to be a big puzzle. Well, it’s beyond my understanding. Have a look at these letters spread over the table and you may get the answer to this tattoo puzzle. Better, let’s believe ‘tattoos for the tattoo’s sake’.

Hilarious.
Adams was confronted about the solution to 6*9 being 42 in base 13 and he said he might be sad, but he isn’t clever enough to write jokes in base 13.
Pretty simple tattoo though.
I think the tattoo is a reference to Douglas Adams hitchhike’s guide to the galaxy.
42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything
Because 9 sacks of six balls or 6 sacks of 9 balls each would have 42 balls altogether. And 42 is the meaning of life because it is 24 backwards and if you subtract 1 from 24 then u have 23, which is the number that makes the world go round.
since when does 6×9 equal 42?
Okay, okay.. I will change number in textbook after this.
