They conducted a study on 2,367 randomly selected twins. Those who had tattoos had nearly four times the risk of skin cancer.

Wanted to get this tattoo for a little while, love the personal and classic symbolism of crows.

Parts of the outlining hurt more than I was expecting. Some of the shading hurt like a removed!

I'd not researched much and now I am I see just how much some some people say the chest hurts! I agree with them.

The artist was great and reassuring, Took her around 2 hours and can't wait to see it once the second skin comes off and it's all healed.

Tattoo by Pippa at Fates & Fury Tattoo, Sheffield, UK.

Sorry about the shit photo. I can try to take a better one if anyone interested. Tat second and last session was maybe a month ago. At the top it's kinda covering up something silly I had done in the 90s.

Second part!

As we navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of technological innovation, I understand that many may view these advancements with skepticism, particularly regarding their implications for personal autonomy and societal well-being. While I possess access to technology that may seem advanced—even futuristic—I want to share the motivations behind my work and the ethical considerations that guide it.

My journey began with a personal challenge: my husband’s struggle with eyesight. He has preferred glasses over contacts, and I found myself reflecting on the inconvenience this posed—not just for him, but also for his clients. This inspired me to take the initiative to design solutions that not only enhance his quality of life but also benefit those around him.

I recognize that concepts involving near-cyberpunk designs can evoke concerns about privacy, control, and the potential for misuse. However, I firmly believe that the line we must tread is one of enhancement rather than encroachment. The goal is to elevate our overall satisfaction and well-being while respecting individual autonomy and ethical standards.

To that end, I am committed to transparency in my work. It is essential that the technology I develop prioritizes user well-being, is customizable, and remains optional. By emphasizing ethical safeguards and privacy features, I aim to shift the narrative from fear of dystopian futures to excitement about the possibilities of human empowerment.

Ultimately, my vision is to either distribute or sell this technology, ensuring that it serves as a tool for enhancement rather than a source of concern. I invite an open dialogue on these issues, as I believe that discussing our apprehensions is the first step toward finding common ground and fostering innovation that truly benefits society.

I wanted to share this with everyone! I recently completed the first version, now packed with all these exciting features. What started as a way to help my husband’s eyesight has grown into something much more.

I'm a little nervous to post because I haven't shown anyone yet, but I really like it. No regrets Coyote (Crossed posted on Pixelfed and Mastadon)

Should I find a specific artist to do this and what type of work would they need to specialize in? (what words do I need to use to find this person)

I'd want it to be relatively large but I am not yet sure where I'd want it.

Here's a few fractals I am interested in to give you an idea

  • Mandelbrot set

  • Sierpinski carpet

  • fractal tree

  • Sierpinski triangle

  • Ikeda map attractor

Some if these are obviously harder than others but I am primarily asking about the sections of the mandelbrot set

Feel free to send me fractals you like as well, especially if they are scientifically or historically significant in some way you like

Hi there. Wondering if anyone can tell if my tattoo is ready for a touch up. This is my first. The artist expected I would want a touch up, due to the difficultly of the gold color. Am I ready to get a touch up?

The artwork is a badge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. I used a real magnetic badge made by Fansets as my reference.

ADDITIONAL PHOTO: For better clarity here is an additional photo in sunlight. I have just applied lotion within the last half hour this was taken.
