When it comes to getting a tattoo of a celebrity right, it really comes down to the fine details. What you're looking for is an end product that ensures everybody knows exactly who they're looking at when you show the tattoo off. Fortunately for the owner of this Travis Barker tattoo, the artist responsible for it got 'all the small things' exactly right. This is the sort of attention to detail on the neck tattoos that we were hoping to see on Wiz Khalifa's!
The Blink 182 drummer is synonymous with the pop punk sound that was everywhere around the turn of the century and is as in demand today as he was twenty years ago. He's inspired thousands of budding musicians around the world to pick up drumsticks and start to play, and in turn they pay tribute to their inspiration by getting tattoos of him.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
