Wow, there's a lot going on in this image! Pink has been a mainstay of the music scene for twenty years now, effortlessly moving between rap, hip hop, pop and rock music with a versatility very few others can match. She's also a feminist icon, with her 'girl power' message always seeming more genuine and sincere than the Spice Girls ever were.
That spirit of female empowerment is evident in this tattoo, which transplants Pink's face over the famous 'Rosie the Riveter' image which dates all the way back to the Second World War. The original image has always been associated with feminist causes, and so adding Pink to it just solidifies that connection. We're less sure about the text that's going around the image, but that's just a matter of personal taste. We're not here to judge!
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.
