...February 2013 Military Tattoo Policies Hey! Do you have any tattoos? Does it affect your job in any way? Well I know if you are in the military it can affect you. Military tattoo policies vary in each branch. They choose the policy based on, if the tattoos are a distraction from good military order and discipline, where they are located, how inappropriate they are and how many they have. I agree with these policies yet disagree also. Are your tattoos a distraction from good military order and discipline? In the Army tattoos on the hands and the back of the neck are now permitted as long as the tattoos are not extremist, indecent, sexist or racist. In the Coast Guard if any of your tattoos can be seen while in dress blues they are unauthorized, also in the Coast Guard no visible piercings are allowed. In the Marines they are prohibited from having a full sleeve tattoo, it does not look professional in dress blues. What would you say if you saw a man covered in tattoos protecting the president or anyone of high power? Me, personally, I do not think that tattoos that all over the body is professional, military or not if you are in a work environment tattoos should not be shown. Say you were a lawyer, is the judge or others going to take you very serious if you have tattoos on your hands, neck and face? I know I sure wouldn’t. No tattoos may not mean you are a certain kind of person, but they do not look professional. I do not personally have a tattoo, but my girlfriend has one...

(An A-Z of Flash Tattoos) A proposed book illustration and its promotion A Thesis presented to the College of Fine Arts and Design UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts Major in Advertising By Ma. Minerva Minnehaha V. Capco INTRODUCTION Although our country still remains conservative as compared to the West, the prevalence of Skin Art here in the Philippines is still unstoppable. Filipinos of the latest generations have gradually started opening up to embrace a whole new subculture---a subculture that is more experimental with art, music and sports. Crews and crews of Graffiti artists as well as Skaters are flourishing, Local bands are reaching new heights, and of course, the Industry of Tattooing is growing by the minute. The word tattoo was said to have two major derivations. From the Polynesian word “Ta” which means “to strike something” and from the Tahitian word “Tatau” which means “to mark something”. Archaeologists across the globe have unearthed preserved corpses and mummies that are tattooed. These mummies are said to have lived thousands of years ago, and most of the bodies bore tattoos that signify their cultures, ranks and beliefs. According to research, tattooing has been in activity to many countries such as Japan, Egypt, China, Polynesia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Africa, Ancient Greece and Rome, America...

...Saturday rolled out and I found myself struggling hard to write this essay – I hadn’t even written a paragraph. I just didn’t know where to begin. I felt like the pages I had made notes on were a foreign language and all of a sudden nothing made sense. I left my printed out version of Freedom from the Known and thought I’d tackle it later, that maybe something miracle would send me into some writing spree. For the next hour, I kept passing by the book and something just didn’t feel write. Why couldn’t I think of anything to write? Did I just spend hours for the past few weeks reading a book that didn’t even make any sense? What was the point on the notes? i took a deep breath of air and slowly just flipped through the first few pages of the book and saw a highlighted line on page 5 (of the PDF version) that said “immaturity lies only in total ignorance of self” and next to it was written Dad. This summer the “smart, goody-two shoes, obeying” Neetu finally rebelled and by that I mean I got a tattoo. It seems pretty standard to either get a tattoo or “whore-out” when you’re trying to rebel. I knew what I wanted, I knew where I wanted it and I know how I...

...TATTOOS I t seems like everyone has tattoo these days. And it's not just anchors, skulls, and battleships. People have found many ways to express themselves with their tattoos. Tattoos are a form of body art, and like all art, some like them and some don't. Nowadays, elderly have bad impression about people with tattoo. As we see today even women are having tattoos. The purpose I choose this topic is to explain that tattoo is an art. THE HISTORY OF TATTOOS History shows that tattooing has existed since 12,000 years BC. The purpose of tattooing has varies from culture to culture and its place on the time line In Borneo, a woman’s particular skill is indicated when they tattooed their symbols on their forearm. Throughout history tattoos have signified membership in a clan or society. For an example, Hells Angels tattoo their particular group symbol. It has been believed that the wearer of an image calls the spirit of that image. The ferocity of a tiger would belong to the tattooed person. That tradition holds true today shown by the proliferation of images of tigers, snakes, and bird of prey. Egypt is the place where earliest tattoos can be found during the time of the construction of the great pyramids. As they expanded their empire, the art of tattooing spread as well. Around 2000 BC tattooing spread to China. Tattoo was used for the communication among spies in Greek. Romans marked criminals and slaves. This practice is still carried on today. The social status is showed...

...My Community I would like to think of myself as being part of the tattoo community. We are a diverse and cultural group of people. Tattoos have been dated back as far as 3000 B.C. and were a way for tribes to identify one another. Tattoo derives from the Polynesian word “ta” which means to strike something, and the Tahitian word “tatu” which means to mark something. Europeans adopted this and brought it back to new world and it has become a fast and growing trend among today’s society. Tattooing begins by the artist disinfecting the work area thoroughly by placing bags on bottles to avoid any kind of cross contamination. Then the artist removes all equipment from sterile packaging in front of the client. Then the artist shaving the area and disinfecting the area to be tattooed with a mixture of water and antibacterial soap. The basic components of a tattoo gun are a sterilized needle, a tube system that draws ink through the machine. An electric motor, and a foot pedal, which controls vertical movement of the needle. Then time for the fun part. An electrically powered machine moves a needle in an up and down motion to puncture the skin between 50-120 times per minute. The sound of a tattoo gun can be described as that of a dentist drill. Each time the needle penetrates the skin it deposits a drop of insoluble ink about a millimeter down into the second layer of skin call the dermis. It is put into this layer because the cells in the dermis are more stable, with...

We recognize your efforts to represent our brand in the best way possible each and every year. As you all know, in September 2012 Apple launched a new mapping system for the new IOS6. We launched this new mapping system knowing it is a major initiative for Apple. Unfortunately, we fell short on our commitment with the launching of our new mapping system, causing many confusion and dissatisfaction between our customers. We are aware of this problem and we are immensely sorry for the stress and frustration this may have caused to your everyday job here at Apple. We are working hard to make the customer experience even better and within days of the IOS6 release we managed to fix items on the mapping with the right name at the right place. We will be seeking outside help from mapping-technology firms and we are urging maps provider Tom Tom to fix some of the mistakes in the current map. Meanwhile this problem is being worked on; it is still possible...

...from people is seldom used independently. It is used within a series of fallacies such as the "personal attack".The ad hominem fallacy comes from the Latin term for "to the person": that is, the conclusion is to be accepted or rejected because of the person (and the characteristics of that person) involved, rather than the actual argument, or reason(s), supporting the conclusion. Arguments, about hair styles is a prime example. Just because I prefer wearing my hair short, like a man’s hair cut does mean that I’m a gay person. But in today’s society when the norms sees a woman with a man’s cut they assume that you are gay, simply because you are wearing that style on your head. The reason that I like to wear that style is because it is easier for me to manage. But I would be classified a stereotype person to society. Tattoos Anything that causes a person to stand out of the accepted norms of adornment that person will be open to sarcasm, bigotry, ridicule, and stereotyping. I like tattoos...

...body modification are tattoos and body piercings (Gay & Whittington, 2002. p. 8). There are many reasons behind why someone would decide to tattoo or pierce their body, along with those reasons there are some regrets, and due to those regrets, there are a few different removal techniques. One of the most common reasons for getting a tattoo is for group identity (Horne, Knox, Zusman, Zusman, 2007 p. 3). There are men and women who have served or are currently serving in our nation’s military that have tattoos that stand for courage, patriotism, defiance of death, and longing for family and loved ones left behind (“Tattoos in the USA,” 2011). It is stated that our current culture can credit the Navy sailors for introducing the art of tattooing to the military due to their coming home from faraway lands with permanent reminders of the places they had been (Van Geete, 2009, para. 1). According to Staff Sgt. Stephanie van Geete, “You could not throw a rock into a military formation without hitting a soldier with at least one tattoo.” Many sailors in the past would get a picture of a submarine ship (“Military tattoos,” 2012). There are sailors past and present that have hula girls wearing grass skirts or pin up style girls wearing a Navy uniform. Some sailors may even have a mermaid, or an anchor due to their nautical symbolism (“Military tattoos,” 2012). Those in the Marines may receive a tattoo of a bulldog, the unofficial mascot of the Marines, or a tattoo of a military issued...

...Otzi the Iceman was a great scientific discovery. The discovery of “The Iceman” opened up huge gate to the past. In doing so it created many question. What was he doing in Alps Mountains? How long ago did he die? And What killed him? Scientists studded him for years looking for the answers. These questions were all answered to the best of their abilities. He died 5,000 years ago and had with him a copper axe; which dates the Neolithic age 5,000 years farther than scientist first thought the Neolithic age took place. That question was answered to its fullest. But, why he was is the in Alps Mountains and how he died were all answered in a way that everyone thought was correct. The arrow in the back does give some suspicion that he was murdered. The theories that most of the scientist gave were either he was killed in some sort of clan war, or he was murdered by...

...Prison Gangs Prison Gangs According to (Wikipedia) a prison gang is a term used to identify any type of gang activity in prisons and correctional facilities. The difference between prison gangs and street gangs has become unclear because gang members are in and out of the prison system according to the (Street Gangs and Interventions: Innovative Problem Solving with Network Analysis, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, 2005). Prison gangs offer more than just simple protection for the members in prison; many prison gangs are responsible for drug, tobacco and other contraband handling. Prison gangs often seek to intimidate other inmates and bribe or intimidate prison staff. Prison gangs are a large influence of organized crime. Prison gangs are also known for laundering money from outside gangs while in prison. The forming of a prison gang is prohibited however; prison gangs are on a rise and without regard of the law prohibiting them. Many of the gang members are already in prison serving very long sentences; when another member is sentence they link up and look out for one another. There are multiple prison gangs in America such as the Aryan Brotherhood, the Nazi Low-riders, La Eme, those are just a few. (American Prison Gangs by Sharon White) According to this article prison gangs are in the Federal prison system and 32 state jurisdictions. There are 29 able to be identified and the prison guards know the member by names. Prison officials have identified 114...

...was first founded by Done Facundo Bacardi and then just went down the line from there (1). They fled from Cuba after being exiled from the leader of Cuba and went to about 18 different countries before they finally ended up and stayed in Puerto Rico (1). They said that being exiled led them to strive and drive to expand their business (1). Although Puerto Rico was their main site of production faculty, Bermuda is the location of their legal headquarters (1). Ever since they had started their business, they have been on top as one of the leading rum companies all over the world. As said before, I believe Bacardi’s success comes a lot from their attention grabbing advertisement. There is one ad that had really caught my attention and made me want to try the beverage for myself. The ad is one that they made to celebrate their 150 years of business and success.

...people have mastered their skills in being argumentative while others are lacking in that department. The following will be a list of 9 different types of argument styles that could take place in one’s argument scenario. We have all been in an argument and more than likely used one or more of these in arguments that we have had in the past. The first logical fallacy to discuss will be Mere Assertion. By definition mere assertion means while arguing one’s point no matter what the opposing party may have to say their argument is right because that person believes it to be the truth. To further explain will an example P1- Mermaids are real and have inhabited the sea since the beginning of time. P2- Mermaids are in fact real and inhabit the sea because I believe they do. C- Mermaids are real and have inhabited the sea since the beginning of time because I believe they do. Therefore due to the fact that I believe that mermaids are real and that they inhabit the sea because I believe this to be true this must be in fact the truth nobody can tell me otherwise. The second logical fallacy to discuss is Circular Reasoning. This occurs when the person arguing their point has matching premise and the conclusions are identical. To give a real life example of this P1- A person with the desire to quit smoking cigarettes has a long road ahead of them. P2- This person...

...Being Your Best Self Being your best self can mean a lot of things to different people, but what does it mean to me? To me it means being your own Superman. It means to be everything you can possibly be; to be confident in yourself, in not only looks but knowing you can do anything. It means to help everyone; to be kind, caring, and sweet. Being your best self means to be happy and live your life. Confidence means having faith in yourself in many ways. It means to know you are beautiful in every way. Having confidence means knowing you can do anything and everything you set your mind to. To be your best self means to help everyone. You need to be kind, sweet, and compassionate. Help them in school subject areas or running errands. Help them when they need it, whether its getting them help or helping them yourself.. Plain and simple be a good friend. God has given you one life to live before you go up to Heaven with him, and you need to live it up. No I’m not saying go crazy and get twenty tattoos that cover your body, unless that’s what you want, but be happy. Life is too short to go through it being upset and depressed. So go find love in your best friend, keep faith in the Lord, and go get a little too crazy with your friends. Just make sure you are happy with everything you do.
