this is not a "WTF" but i wanted to share. in a world where compassion for others seems to be waning, especially amongst the big corporations it is amazing to hear stories like this. kudos to southwest airlines. i will support them for this. of course now i am bawling about the poor family.

Latest Press Release from LST: Link here: Tattoo Artist Scott Sylvia Hopes to Preserve the Tattoo Community with Launch of Last Sparrow Tattoo Web Site Tattoo Artist Scott Sylvia Hopes to Preserve the Tattoo Community with Launch of Last Sparrow Tattoo Web Site The founder of a new web site, Last Sparrow Tattoo, hopes the popularity of tattoos won't ruin the craft. San Rafael, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 07, 2011 Iconic tattoo artist Scott Sylvia announces a new community for tattoo enthusiasts: Last Sparrow Tattoo (Tattoo Ideas & Pictures | Last Sparrow Tattoo). The Last Sparrow Tattoo forum and online magazine offers advice and resources for tattoo fans. Tattoos appeal to a much broader range of people than in the past and interest (and social acceptance) is growing steadily with the endorsement from celebrities and pro athletes. A Pew Research Center study says over 30% of Americans age 18 - 25 have at least one tattoo, and 40% of people age 26 - 40. In contrast, the study found only about 10% of people age 41 - 64 are tattooed. Sylvia, who is an owner at Black Heart Tattoo in San Francisco, California, is concerned that this popularity may come at the expense of the craft. He worries that mass publicity and popularity of tattooing may ruin either the craft or the artisans (tattoo artists). He is disappointed in the tattoo magazines, who seem more concerned with selling than content. “Most current tattoo magazines are terrible examples of modern tattooing. Editors change entire stories in the interest of creating drama to generate more sales. They don't seem to care about tattooing,” he said. “My goal is to provide a source for people to see and meet good reputable tattooers [tattoo artists] from around the world, just like the magazines used to do. I'm hoping that Last Sparrow Tattoo can help protect the art of tattooing while respecting its roots and growing the community,” he said. He is not as much interested in this month’s new hit sensation; but rather in celebrating the longevity of the art form. Last Sparrow Tattoo has already brought the tattoo community together. The site provides in-depth video interviews of top tattoo artists like Freddy Corbin who created the logo for the popular television show Sons of Anarchy. Other popular tattoo artist interviews to date include; Juan Puente, Bryan Burk, Josh Arment, and Nick Colella. The interviews feature the details and life events that took place in each of the tattooers’ history that lead them to their success. “I was apprehensive of making the site at first, but I now appreciate how the community has taken over the forum and made it their own. I've always felt that tattooing is a family, one I've always felt more comfortable in than my own family,” said Sylva. One of the most active topics on the forums is “Tattoo 101” where people ask questions about getting a tattoo and get input from others in the community. There is also a lot of discussion about tattoo shops around the world and popular tattoo design ideas (knuckle tattoos for example). Last Sparrow Tattoo has a constantly growing tattoo picture gallery with thousands of high quality pictures that the forum members upload every day. This is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking for tattoo design ideas. Whether you are already covered in tattoos or looking to get your first one, Last Sparrow Tattoo is the place to get design advice, find the best artists, read and follow member blogs, or just hang out and chat in the forums.

i think he got dropped and now the role is going to be played by Liam Neeson.

The Top 3 Tattoo Trends for 2010 The popularity of the hit tv show Sons of Anarchy and wider acceptance of tattoos by society in general means 2010 has been a killer year for tattoos. If you’re considering getting a tattoo, consider these trends as inspiration. 1.Tattoo Trend: Tattoos with Writing. Some of the hottest searches on Google right now are for “tattoo lyrics,” “tattoo fonts,” and “tattoo quotes.” People ink an inspirational sayings or even an entire poem on their body. Sometimes the messages are in honor of a person, such as a tribute to a loved one who died, or a passage from a book. This type of tattoo takes a lot of planning because you not only have the words, but the design of the words (the layout) and the font the words are written in. Each detail is an expression of who you are and what you want to say. Just be sure to choose hand drawn letters, don’t trace someone else’s. In the words of one tattoo artist, “hand drawn letters have much more soul in them than any traced letters will ever have.” Here is an example of a tattoo with writing from UrbanInk: 2. Tattoo Trend: owls Owls have been growing in popularity as an option for tribal tattoos because of their meaning. The symbol of the owl represents wisdom and owls are birds of the night (therefore they’re associated with the mystical). Many cultures around the world place spiritual significance to the owl. Women and men put owls behind their ears or on their ribs. Men put them on their forearms or arms. Here is a great owl tattoo from Kyle Crowell: Here is another owl tattoo on the forearms by Myles Skarr: 3. Tattoo Trend: trees Whether it’s a Celtic tree, a tree of life, or a Japanese tree, trees have long been a part of myths and lore. Trees are powerful symbols of regeneration and rejuvenation. Some are influenced by Pagan traditions, others by cultures. They can symbolize the cycle of life and nature lovers usually dig them. Don’t get stuck in the same old look though. Some tree tattoos (like tattoo of cherry tree and blossoms done by Scott Sylvia on Violet Blue) with limbs and flowers that cover the entire body are both feminine and sexy. Here is a tree tattoo with personal meaning that is on one of our members, Ahzz : What design are you thinking of getting right now?
