Tatto 2013

I've often heard that stupidity is painful - and recently I found the proof. For the beginning, let's keep in mind two facts about tattoos: 1. Getting a tattoo is a pretty painful process. 2. It's really silly to get a Kanji / Hanzi tattoo without getting informed about the Kanji / Hanzi 's meaning. Now, with this two things in mind, let's take a look at this tattoo: The very first problem is that the top character is upside down. But that is just a small problem. The real problem is the meaning of these ideograms: The the top character (苦) means "pain; suffering; distress; anxiety; trouble". The next two ideograms (阿呆) mean "fool; simpleton; idiot". The tattoo's meaning is something like "suffering idiot" or "a fool in pain" or "distressed simpleton" or something of this kind. In conclusion, stupidity is really painful.

Tempted to get a tattoo? Today, people from all walks of life have tattoos, which might lead you to believe that tattoos are completely safe. But there are health risks that can result in the need for medical care. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of United States (US) is particularly concerned about a family of bacteria called nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) that has been found in a recent outbreak of illnesses linked to contaminated tattoo inks.    M. chelonae, one of several disease-causing NTM species, can cause lung disease, joint infection, eye problems and other organ infections. These infections can be difficult to diagnose and can require treatment lasting six months or more. FDA also warns that tattoo inks, and the pigments used to colour them, can become contaminated by other bacteria, mold and fungi. To raise awareness and make diagnoses more accurate, FDA strongly encourages reporting of tattoo-associated complications. Strategies for Controlling Risks of Infection

Getting inked is no big deal today, especially when it comes to declaring love for someone. Sounds romantic, but what happens if the couple breaks up? Then follows a never-ending ordeal of covering up the tattoo either with expensive intricate designs or laser sessions to lighten it. Esha Deol displays her two tatoos. She has an ‘om’ sign tattoos on the top left of her back and the Gayatri Mantra on the top right side. Take 25-year-old Prashant Kale, who inked his girlfriend’s name on his nape on an impulse, but regrets it now ever since he has broken off with her. The problem is that a tattoo cannot be completely removed. It can only be lightened by using laser technique or it can be camouflaged with more intricate designs.As Rajesh Khurana, president of Timpac Healthcare puts it: “To make a tattoo you invest Rs.2,000 but to remove it you have to pay more than Rs.20,000.” “So, my advice is before anyone goes for one, think whether you are doing the right thing and going for the right
