Three of these Curlers got Olympic Tattoos for the 2010 Games

The Winter Olympics are set to kick off in a few days, and I can feel the excitement here in Vancouver.  Unfortunately, I’m not attending any of the events, but I can imagine the anticipation the Olympians are feeling right now.  Representing your country can be a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I wasn’t surprised to learn about two curlers from Alberta who made a pact to mark this achievement with body art.  The article from CtvOlympics.ca explains that a few years ago Cheryl Bernard and teammate Cori Bartel talked about getting tattooed should they make it to the Olympics, which became a reality in December.  Even teammate Susan O’Connor joined the women in inking the colourful Olympic rings and a small Maple Leaf on the inside of their forearms.  I certainly hope these tattoos bring the ladies some luck at the games.  Gooooooo Canada!  Click here to read the entire article.

Mmmm grilled cheese sandwiches…but as body art?

I just read about a restaurant in Lakewood, Ohio, that is offering customers a lifetime discount of 25 per cent off, to those with a grilled cheese sandwich tattooed on their body.  The Associated Press is reporting that the Melt Bar & Grilled, which has 25 different gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches on its menu, has joined with a local tattoo shop to make it easier for their fans to get inked.  My first thought was “who would wanna do that?”  I mean, I love grilled cheese sandwiches too, but not enough to make it a permanent body art.  However, fortunately for Melt Bar & Grilled, their fans don’t think like me.  In fact, so far they’ve posted pictures of the 85 people who have already inked themselves for the discount.  That’s right, there are actually people out there willing to get inked for a 25 per cent restaurant discount.  Which leads me to my second thought…”what do they put in their food?  Check out the article here.

Armed Forces Commemorated in Ink

With Remembrance Day just around the corner, I started to get curious about military tattoos.  I found an informative article at TattooJohnny.com that explains how Navy, Army, Marines and Air Force members differ when deciding on ink.  For those in the Navy, anchors, sailor caps, and Navy related images like periscopes are prevalent.  In the Army, images of awards, medals, and those who were prisoners of war or missing in action (POW/MIA) are popular designs.  Marines tend to be all over the place getting a wide range of body art like bulldogs, camouflage, and unit designs.  Lastly, the Air Force is the least likely group to get inked, but of those who are, Pilot’s wings, eagles, planes and jets are fashionable.  To read the article and look at the dozens of cool designs, click here.  And now a minute of silence…
