Other than the DNA art itself, picking out the perfect gene to exemplify who you are, is the most intimate part of the process. It can seem somewhat daunting to find a trait that completely defines you. However we have a few new tricks that can help you discover what gene you should pick to highlight on your art.

We can break up the gene’s we offer into two different categories: Bold traits that can be seen with the naked eye and deeply rooted traits that only those that know us might see.

Our Bold traits are: hair color, eye color, and human pheremone genes.

Most of the people that I have met pick these genes for a variety of reasons:

1. This trait on them is incredibly unique, they usually hear many compliments or comments about it. Either they have beautiful eyes so they pick the eye color gene, or they are uncannily attractive to the opposite sex so they choose the human pheremone gene.

2. They are buying it for someone else like a gift for a mother of her son and her son has her eyes. Another great example is buying it for your husband or wife and you get the trait of them that made you fall in love with them in the first place.

Our deeply rooted traits are: taste, circadium rythym, and mood gene.

The top two reasons why people chose them are:

1. You identify really well with that part of you. Maybe you are a foodie that loves to cook and try as many different variations of food as possible. You are a night owl that stays up incredibly late and can barely get up before 10 am, circadium rythym may be the gene for you. Lastly, you could be an incredibly optimistic person that can look at the bright side of everything. In this case, the mood gene definitely defines you.

2. These can definitely have a humorous twist. My personal favorite is when someone got the mood one done of her daughter and she told me the reason was because when her daughter was a teenager and might get an “attitutde” she could most certainly point to the artwork made of her and tell her simply it was her mood gene that was making her act that way.

Whatever you choose we hope that you can enjoy this part just as much as the artwork itself.
