This whole 13 thing really works for me… Hee hee!
1) Barbed Wire
2) Coins
3) Broken Glass
It’s a list-o-mania!! It’s Thursday and that means it’s time for…
Times are tight! Many folks like me don’t have any health insurance, others (also like me) prefer to go the natural route whenever possible. Mama nature has so much medicine and magick for us and you might be surprised how much you can find in your kitchen spice rack!
Medicinal: 1) Got bubbles? A gassy tummy or feel bloated and too full after a meal? A cup of Basil tea might be just what you need! *warning: do NOT use while pregnant
Magickal: 2) Put some basil in your Mojo or Medicine bag for safe travels, put a few leaves in the corners of the rooms of your home for protection, or burn some on charcoal to aid in dreaming and vision quests.
13 reasons NOT to Get a Tattoo!
(inspired by this post and ensuing commentary at MPS)
1) You are under 18.
2) You are drunk.
3) You are loaded on some other substance.
4) You are hung over or have consumed a lot of alcohol during the previous 24 hours. (This will make you bleed more and is a pain in the ass for your tattooist, as well as increasing your healing time and the likelihood of fallout.)
5) Your friend/neighbor/drug dealer says “C’mon, lemme drill on you man. I got this gun for a bag… dude, I’m an awesome artist, I’ll just go wild on you, man…. just freehand”.
6) Someone says you should.
7) You’re overwhelmed with love for your boy/girl-friend and want to show them how much you care with their name permanently inscribed upon your flesh.
8) To show people how “cool” you are.
9) To piss someone off.
10) Because it’s cheap/a “good” price. “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.”
11) Because “everybody” else is doing it.
12) You decide to do it, but find yourself uncomfortable in the atmosphere of the shop you’ve chosen or with the tattooist.
13) The tattooist you’ve chosen is more interested in his ego than in your vision of your tattoo.
