Weird Lip Tattoos

The origin of lip tattoos can be traced back to the times of ancient Mediterranean and African cultures. It is a primitive type of body art, which was often used by women to enhance the beauty of their lips and give it the perfect look. Before reading about lip tattoo ideas, lets read a little bit about lip tattoo facts.

Lip Tattoo Facts

Do you want to know, how did lip tattoos start? Horses were branded at the bottom of their lips to keep them safe. The origin of lips tattoos lie in the branding of these horses. They were and are currently used by women to camouflage the problematic areas of their lips. For example, some women use it to thicken their thin lips, while others use it to narrow their lips, by using dark red or brown pigments and needles. Lip tattoos are normally done on the inside of the lower lip, but there are people, who also get it done on the inside of the upper lip.

Lip Tattoo Ideas

Before people get their lip tattoos made, they often have a question about "lip tattoos - how long do they last".  It is very difficult to answer this question. These tattoos last for approximately one to five years, although there have been cases, where the tattoos have not lasted beyond few weeks. The other commonly asked question is "do lip tattoos hurt". It is important to understand, that tattoos done on any part of the body are going to hurt. Hence, lips are not an exception to this pain. The difference would lie in how much do lip tattoos pain. The pain quotient will vary from person to person. The parts of the body, which do not have tissue cushions or are situated on a bony structure, are the areas, where the pain caused by tattooing is more. Since there is some degree of pain associated with the lip tattoos and also because lip tattoos fade, you will have to think, whether you really want to get a tattoo made.

Lonomia Obliqua - world's Deadliest Caterpillar

Lonomia obliqua is just as frail as any other caterpillars you might have seen, but that doesn't stop it from causing severe serious internal hemorrhaging and even death, if you just touch it.

This terrible Lonomia caterpillars live in the rainforests of South America, and cause a few deaths every year, especially in southern Brazil, where they're usually found on the bark of trees. Blending perfectly in their surrounding, Lonomia obliqua caterpillars often can't be avoided, even if people watch out for them. Most incidents occur when travelers lean against a tree and unknowingly brush against one of more caterpillars, which release a very powerful anticoagulant venom.

Symptoms of Lonomia obliqua poisoning include severe internal bleeding, renal failure and hemolysis. If the skin comes into contact with several caterpillars, death is often the outcome. The lethal dose of the toxin secreted by this terrible creature is among the lowest of all known toxins.

But there is also a bright side to the Lonomia obliqua caterpillar. Its powerful anticoagulant could be used in the prevention of life-threatening blood-clots, but research is still being conducted in the hope of somehow isolating some pharmaceutically valuable chemicals. But until that happens, all you can do is refrain yourself from leaning on trees, the next time you're in South America.

When an elephant dies in Zimbabwe...

When an elephant dies in Zimbabwe, as these photos show, it doesn't stick around for long. Poverty does some strange things to people and one of the things it does is make them hungry. So when villagers came across this dead elephant they just naturally had to butcher it and take it home to cook and eat. I wonder if it tastes like chicken?
