Perfect Flowers Tattoos


Flower tattoos are one of the most common types of tattoos in the world. A flower tattoo is a permanent marking on the skin made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative reasons in the form of a flower. The art of tattooing is centuries old and has been popular among indigenous people in New Zealand, Japan, South America and Africa. Flower tattoos might not be centuries old, but they have become a popular part of European and North American culture.

While tattoo is a fairly new concept for most of us, the tradition of tattoo is indeed an antique one, with Hawaiian tattoos being revered as one of the oldest tattoo art forms to emerge in the ancient times. Like all other Polynesian variants of tattoos, Hawaiian tattoo too bears with it the hallmark of exclusivity that makes it unique and exceptional in its own rights.

Painted angel wing tattoos are inked as back pieces, lower back tattoos, and smaller designs that can be placed anywhere on the body. Both men and women seek this type of tat theme as they may be be colored or black and grey and can be inked in any tattoo style. Painted angels have always been mentioned throughout many religious writings, and they’ve been a favorite subject for many of history’s greatest artists so its no wonder that they caught the fancy of tat enthusiasts.It would be interesting to note that the early biblical painted angels weren’t described as having wings. They are portrayed as ordinary men, although they brought extraordinary messages and provide guidance and protection for those in need.

Over the years, however, artists have drawn and painted painted angels with pure white, feathered wings, and that have always been their most prominent feature. It seems that painted angels rely on their wings to carry them from one world to another being an intermediary between heaven and earth.A lot of people fantasize about having a pair of painted angel wings as they can represent a wide variety of symbolism and important values to the bearer of this superb tattoo. They can represent one’s desire to fly which means freedom, lightness and embracing all possibilities. The wings can also stand for one’s commitment to look after family and friends as if acting as guardian painted angel. They can also be a celebration of beauty and grace which are the painted angel’s amazing qualities. Some refer to them as daily reminder to show generosity and kindness to the people around them just like what the holy painted angels do.

The End of the Rainbow in 2014?


When Mr. Obama came into power, he seemed determined to make Afghanistan 'his war' - even though we'd been there for a long time already. Now, he's not so sure that he wants to link his presidency to the Afghan War. And I don't blame him. As with so many other similar conflicts throughout history, you first have to ask yourself where the end of the counterinsurgency rainbow is. And while you're searching, consider why we went there in the first place and why we remain.

When the British left Asia and the Middle East, the US took their place and the power vacuum was temporary and rather small.  If the US suddenly decided to abandon the Middle East and Asia it would create a problem for the world and I am not suggesting that we take that Libertarian course of action. When we left Viet Nam, we didn't leave Asia.

A 10 year land war in Asia for the sake of fighting Muslim extremists can turn into a 20 year war or a 30 year war if we plan to turn Afghans into Americans. (The Afghans have a stubborn historical precedent for remaining Afghans no matter who occupies their country) Political Islam failed to deliver on its promise of a just government. It failed to provide a prosperous society. And it has failed to foster a flourishing culture. Islam, the faith doesn't translate into good government. Brutal Sharia Law doesn't lead to a blossoming society full of new science and 'the good life'. And the Afghans have their own brand of Sharia based on the jirgha (literally 'circle') of elders who decide what the tribe will do. It has been and will be the basis of Afghan society and law no matter how much we try to change it.

Our broad strategic objectives for Afghanistan are part of the problem. Keeping America safe can remain  a goal for keeping troops in Afghanistan at some sustainable level. However, when you look at the map (above), you need to ask yourself if Six Corps (a lot of people) will make the social change we seek by 2014. Is that the end of the counterinsurgency rainbow?

Irezumi the Art of Japanese Tattoos For Girls

Irezumi the Art of Japanese Tattoos For Girls

Japanese tattoos are regaining their popularity again amongst the middle classes. Ironically young Japanese people are going for tattoo designs that can be completed in one sitting such as the traditional American style tattoos or tribal tattoos. Traditional irezumi is still done by specialist tattooists. Because Japanese tattoos are so detailed they are also very time intensive and expensive. A traditional ‘body suit’ (covering the arms, back, upper legs and chest can take up to five years of once-a-week visits to complete and cost more than US$30,000 to complete!Japanese tattoos are referred to in Japanese as irezumi which literally means the insertion of ink under the skin leaving a permanent mark or tattoo.



Irezumi the Art of Japanese Tattoos For Girls

Tattooing in Japan is thought to extend back to at least 10,000 years. The Ainu people, the indigenous people of Japan, are known to have used tattoos for decorative and social purposes for many thousands of years.At the beginning of the Meiji period (running from around about 1868 to 1912) the Japanese government, wanting to project an image of a modern Japan to the west, outlawed tattoos, and irezumi took on connotations of criminality. Nevertheless, fascinated foreigners went to Japan seeking the skills of tattoo artists, and traditional tattooing continued underground.Tattooing was legalized by the occupation forces in 1945, but unfortunately has kept a lot of its association with criminality. For many years, traditional Japanese tattoos were associated with the Yakuza, Japan’s notorious mafia, and many businesses in Japan (such as public baths, fitness centers and hot springs) still ban customers with tattoos.

US Roadmap for Afghanistan (Opinion)

Nobody has ever accused me of being a peacenik, however, the question of where we should be heading in Afghanistan remains. Is America's continued involvement there is a good idea or not.
Thomas Friedman, New York Times wrote: "When President Barack Obama announced his decision to surge more troops into Afghanistan in 2009, I argued that it could succeed if three things happened: Pakistan became a different country, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan became a different man and we succeeded at doing exactly what we claim not to be doing, nation-building in Afghanistan. None of that has happened, which is why I still believe our options in Afghanistan are: lose early, lose late, lose big or lose small. I vote for early and small."
I am pessimistic that the US will be able to achieve any long term nation building in Afghanistan (a bronze age tribal culture armed with modern small arms).

Whether the surge is working or not may soothe our egos in the short term, but in the long term, unless we are going to continue to pour soldiers and money into that tribal morass for all eternity, it will eventually revert to its natural state which is feudal and chaotic and not worth one American life nor a penny of American taxpayer funds. 

Killing Al Qaida was a noble, necessary, and achievable aim; anything beyond that is only wishful, unrealistic, and very expensive thinking. 
Back to Friedman:
"My wariness about Afghanistan comes from asking these three questions: When does the Middle East make you happy? How did the Cold War end? What would Ronald Reagan do? Let's look at all three.
"When did the Middle East make us happiest in the past few decades? That's easy: (1) when Anwar Sadat made his breakthrough visit to Jerusalem; (2) when the Sunni uprising in Iraq against the pro-al-Qaida forces turned the tide there; (3) when the Taliban regime in Afghanistan was routed in 2001 by Afghan rebels, backed only by U.S. air power and a few hundred U.S. Special Forces; (4) when Israelis and Palestinians drafted a secret peace accord in Oslo; (5) when the Green Revolution happened in Iran; (6) when the Cedar Revolution erupted in Lebanon; (7) when the democracy uprisings in Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Syria and Egypt emerged; (8) when Israel unilaterally withdrew from South Lebanon and Gaza.
"And what do they all have in common? America had nothing to do with almost all of them. They were self-propelled by the people themselves; we did not see them coming; and most of them didn't cost us a dime."
We need to let the Afghans sort out their own problems with or without Pakistani involvement - it's up to them. 

P. S. 
Until the US has a comprehensive, sane energy policy, the Middle East will matter more to us than it should. So we have to keep a hand in the mix -- but the sooner that we take a step back and make the hard choices for a long term independence from Middle Eastern oil, the better off we'll be.
