    DNA is a double helix. The image bottom right shows only a single helix. For a double helix, think of a rollercoaster riding the track. There needs to be 2 rails going around for the rollercoaster to attach to.

        But it’s not. Most people think DNA and the double helix look this this look like this

        But that a common misconception. A true double helix (and DNA) look like this look like this (second)

        I know this cause I have a DNA tattoo looking like the first one and have been corrected once or twice haha

          It’s not the same double helix as DNA, but it is a double helix. It’s not a single helix.

          if it’s on the left side of your body, get a correctified version on your right side. Then you can show them the right one if they point out it’s wrong.

        Yeah, ok I see it now. I was looking at it as a thick bar on the outside where that could be better viewed as a double line.
