Tattoos: Dos and Don’ts

by admin

Think before you ink! It is easy to become so eager about a tattoo that you shorten the decision making the process and head straight to the tattoo studio, later with regrets you’ll live to tell about. With the following tattoo dos and don’ts, you can ensure that you do not make a decision that is going to haunt you forever. Remember, tattoos are permanent!

Let’s start with the things that you do want to do when getting a new tattoo.

Do:

  • Go to a professional tattoo artist. Although there are many talented individuals who perform tattoo work as a side job, it is always a big risk when you go to these professionals. Not only are there health risks, it is also anyone’s guess what the finished result will be. Protect yourself and always choose a pro for your tattoo.
  • Expect some pain. Although the intensity of the pain varies from one individual to the next, there is going to be some kind of discomfort when you get a tattoo. Be prepared and expect this so there are no surprises later down the line.
  • Plenty of research is necessary if you want to select the perfect tattoo. Remember that the tattoo is a new permanent fixture on your body that everyone can see. Make it count!
  • Consider kids temporary tattoos before the real thing. These tats for kids are easy to apply with water and a little bit of pressure and remove within a few days or sooner if you so desire. Starting with a temporary tattoo can help you feel the tattoo experience without any long-term commitment.
  • Take care of your tattoo after you get it. If you do not take care of the tattoo it is not going to look as good as it did while you were sitting in that tattoo chair. You also increase the risk of developing a skin infection if the tat is not taken care of.

Now for a few tattoo Don’ts:

  • Do not rush into the decision.
  • Do not allow anyone to talk you into getting a tattoo. It should be something that you want to do on your own free will without any influence from another person. This is forever; make sure that you are ready to make such a long commitment.
  • Don’t try to negotiate the price of a tattoo.
  • Don’t go to the studio after you’ve been drinking and definitely not when you are intoxicated. You’ll be a big nuisance to the tat artist and to others at the studio and you won’t get the tattoo that you want until your system is free of alcohol.

Final Thoughts

So there you have it: the dos and the don’ts of getting a new tattoo. Make sure that you keep a little list of these dos and don’ts, and always go into the studio with your best manners in place. But let loose and have a lot of fun because it is an experience you’re never going to forget.

As for this season. winter. I used to see collaborative items or pieces that these well known brands and labels are keeps on releasing. I think, this was the perfect time for them to be collaborated with the other same brands as for them. Because it does help each other to gain more people who can consider their pieces as they releases another new collection or pieces for their store’s shelves. Actually, I am not fond of collaborative pieces myself because these pieces are quite expensive to have than to those normal finds one, its like you’re paying two brands in one item – which is not good in me as I don’t have a much bucks to spend for it. But for those who has extra bucks and wanting to have themselves in trends, I think having some sorts of collaborative pieces such as this Highsnobiety x Carhartt WIP Capsule Collection is perfectly fine.

photo highsnobiety-x-carhartt-wip-1_zpsz9iok3cg.jpg

As I can see it, Highsnobiety x Carhartt WIP Capsule Collection has only 2 pieces in ready for this season and they’re a pullover for men and you can only choose between the white or the black one, which is bad though on my opinion – because men these days are liking to wear more diversity and versatility like pieces where they can play a little bit in it not like these pieces whereas they’d just played safe in away for having only the 2 basic colors, the white and black. But of course, this was only my opinion and nothing can’t change the way you see these pieces for yourself.

In overall, I can still see these collection dope and can be wear off whether for daily and casual as long as you’d know on how to pull it off, it surely gone perfectly for yourself.

As for the latest fashion trends these days for men, jackets and jogger pants are one on the top picks. Because these are the mostly consider items by the men and I need to agree that these finds are indeed dope and can easily to carried anywhere, I mean you can wear them anytime in the day. Actually, I , myself aren’t that fond of wearing this kind of stuff, though I am a kinda sporty guy in nature. But I need to consider them now as they’re gaining popularity for the men’s fashion thus it does really looks good in every man who tries to pull it off.

But be mindful not all the guys, especially in your geographic, to wear this because we do know that there’s such a countries that has this humid weather all year long hence these type of wearings, the pullover and joggers, aren’t that appropriate though to wear on the daily basis. But I think though, you can still have them as you got this cold breeze air in particular day

Are Pinhole Glasses Really Effective?

by admin

Having poor eyesight is hard and anyone who have this problem would certainly wish to have it corrected if not with the conventional eyeglasses, probably with laser eye surgery. However, not everyone can afford Lasik surgery so they settle for eyeglasses. Now, there’s this phenomenon called pinhole glasses that allow people with blurry eyesight to instantly see clearly without the use of corrective lenses. Also known as stenopeic glasses, they’re eyeglasses with a series of pinhole-sized perforations filling an opaque sheet of plastic in place of each lens. The shape and design are the same with normal frames, only the lenses differ. Each hole allows only a small beam of light to enter the eye.

Pinhole glasses are worn like normal glasses but unlike conventional prescription glasses, they produce an image without the pincushion effect around the edges. The manufacturers of these glasses say that they’re great for near-sighted and far-sighted people as well as those with astigmatism, presbyopia, and cataracts but aren’t recommended for those with over 6 diopters of myopia. They also shouldn’t be used while driving since they minimize brightness and peripheral vision. Aside from improving your vision, pinhole glasses allegedly help relieve VDU (computer) eyestrain, headaches, and fatigue. Wearing the glasses for 15 to 20 minutes a day can lead to improved eyesight, so they say.

Although many people are optimistic about these glasses, The College of Optometrists say the claims are unsupported and should be viewed with utmost vigilance. Doctors have been opposed to carry out the required clinical trials to substantiate these claims. 

If you want to try them out, there’re online stores that sell them at really affordable prices, such as Pinhole-Glasses.com. They have tons of stylish pieces with well-finished designs. Furthermore, their pinhole glasses are of the highest quality making use of state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and laser equipment.
