So this is my first, and probably not last tattoo. On friday the 15th of February, there was an event here in Norway, where a tattoo cost 500 NOK (85 $ ) and all the money went to cancer research for kids. So it was for a good cause. I like my little birds on my leg.

World’s Most Beautiful Abandoned Places
Italian product manager and web designer Francesco Mugnai recently added a collection of images to his blog touting some of the most beautiful images of abandoned spots and modern ruins that he’d ever seen. The images Mugnai has captured come from empty castles, shuttered power plants, and dilapidated churches around the world. From a sunken yacht in Antarctica to a forever-closed amusement park in Japan, these images all make up a sort of anti-phoenix; rather than rising as new from the ashes, these husks remain preserved in decomposition, forcing viewers to confront the strange beauty of ruination.
This is beautiful, but can we just take note of how fucking big that starfish is in the last picture?
