World Tattoo Day


 

I have three no fuss, simple tattoos.  

The above Triforce, from Zelda, that I share with my sisters.  I am wisdom.

I have music notes from a song my dad wrote for me.

And I have candy hearts with mine and Hubby's initials, $14 on Valentine's Day.

But I love watching Ink Master and seeing real artistry in amazing tattoos.

I will always lean towards black and white though.

But color can be done really well.

And we should also mention that many people all over the world have had tribal tattoos associated with their status, lineage, and connection with the divine.  They are also powerful symbols of the community itself; from Polynesian to Aztec, African to Native American, each tribe has their own traditions.

  Science is also serious. You may have heard that a case review is ongoing regarding the safety and science of an abortion pill, called mifepristone, that has been on the market since 2000. It's another attack from antiabortionists who want to restrict others from care and choice for themselves. Of course, the FDA already vetted the drug and numerous studies show the pill is safe and effective. "If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
