What equations would you use to describe SR? Is there something like E=MC2 to that would describe it all? Would they be specific to certain effects like time dilation and length contraction? I'm thinking of getting an Einstein tattoo and am not sure if an equation would be better than an image. I'm not sure a pocketwatch spaghettifying into a singularity would adequately depict it. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
oh yeah, let's have the sherdog physicists assist you with that one
 
Probably the Lorentz transformations:

Depends on how "Special" your relatives are.
