WARNING: some of these images are rather gory.
Move over swallows, motivational quotes and giant roses on your bum – the latest tattoo trend is 'scarification'.
The painful process involves removing a layer of skin and flesh with a scalpel in the shape of your desired design - and then filling the design in with ink.
When the area heals over, the scar becomes an elaborate tattoo.
I got serious burns over about 40% of my body some 35 years ago and don't wish that on anybody. But it does give you a real cool looking scar for life.
Let's all take the Non-Conformists' Oath:
I promise to be different
I promise to be unique
I promise not to repeat things other people say
What’s sad is when young women tattoo, pierce, etc. God’s most wonderful creations covered with graffiti.
What ever happened to branding?
If you mean it’s been practiced for millennia among many primitive tribal societies, then no, it’s nothing new. But when it comes to the local strip plaza tattoo joint and shows up on your daughter’s new beau, or across her derriere, that’s kinda new. A new subfloor on our elevator ride to Hell.
I could ask, “Why?”; but I would not expect a rational answer.
Only I didn't do that. I was a fireman and had to have the hair cut short for safety reasons. PBR was the beverage of choice, although Bud would do.
By the time I grew my hair out and wore a bunch of patches, I was on a Harley...not drinking, and never got into weed...
All I can say is it was fun really being different and not running with the herd.
It’s not really cutting out flesh, but many layers of the skin. Still, demonically scary and horrific.
They already do that, too. One freak even put holes in his cheeks and inserted increasingly larger rings into it until it was ove an inch in diameter.
And people think demonic possession is mythical.
Euler’s identity is a special case of Euler’s formula from complex analysis, which states that for any real number x,
e^{ix} = \cos x + i\sin x
where the inputs of the trigonometric functions sine and cosine are given in radians.
In particular, when x = π, or one half-turn (180°) around a circle:
e^{i \pi} = \cos \pi + i\sin \pi.
Since
\cos \pi = -1 \, \!
and
\sin \pi = 0,
it follows that
e^{i \pi} = -1 + 0 i,
which yields Euler’s identity:
e^{i \pi} +1 = 0.
Han shot first.
That was going to be my guess...
That was going to be my guess...
Damn! I dated that Euler chick in college.
I’ll take your word for it FRiend.
A friend of mine confessed that when when he was in college he impregnated a peacock and these are the twins born of that ill fated yet highly erotic night in San Francisco
My friend’s company is looking for a new CFO, someone who will instill confidence in the shareholders, and I think this young man definitely fills the bill. Heck, I’d hire him today! /s
Calls himself Grommet.
