This month we chat about micro tattoos….
Micro tattoos have gained popularity in recent years, with many people opting for these small, minimalist designs. However, while you may think micro tattoos look cool, there are several drawbacks to this trend that should be considered before getting one.
Firstly, the size of micro tattoos means that they often lack detail and can blur over time. This is especially true for designs that are intricate or have fine lines. As the tattoo ages and the lines start to blur, the once-precise design can become a smudged mess.
Additionally, micro tattoos can be expensive for their size. Despite being small in scale, the intricate work required to create a detailed design can make the price of a micro tattoo comparable to that of a larger, more detailed tattoo. This can be especially frustrating if the tattoo ends up fading or blurring over time.
Finally, the trend towards micro tattoos can also lead to poor decision-making when it comes to tattoo placement. Many people may opt for a small, discreet design without considering how it will look in the context of their overall tattoo collection. As a result, micro tattoos can end up feeling out of place or disjointed when viewed in conjunction with larger, more detailed tattoos.
Finally as with any tattoo trend, it is important to carefully consider the long-term implications before getting a micro tattoo.
If "Italy came to town" this weekend, then, it missed the bus. The Italian consulate should be ashamed at charging people to actually just be fed by the average restaurants in and around Cape Town. Seriously the music wasn't even Italian, one vendor actually spoke Italian. I get you want to spread Italian products to a wider audience, but this was disjointed, there were supposed to have been vendors, why am I paying to have Woolworths show their "Italian range" fuck off! Where are those Nonna's making fresh pasta, and great sauses, where is the Nonno with his amazing home grown tomatoes and home cured prosciutto? Security at the entrances was a joke and just stupid and rude, and I am not talking about the young women who manned the entrace, but the security, who could not help having to be pedantic assholes. If this is the face of Italy in SA, shame, just shame, what a waste.
