Oh, sweet child of mine, what a fine tattoo! The history of rock and roll is littered with bad boys, known for their lifestyles of excess and partying. There may never have been a more notorious rock or metal band than Guns n' Roses at the peak of their fame in the 1980s. The legendary band had a whole catalog full of hits and were seemingly always involved in controversy and scandal. None of that mattered to them or their fans so long as the music kept coming.
Rose and his band are still touring the world today, even in their mid-50s. The youthful swagger may have gone, but the attitude is still there. This tattoo captures him at a point in time closer to the start of his career. He was definitely young, but we're not sure he was ever quite this fresh faced.
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.
