Create a Killer Picture of Scorpion Tattoo

Some people like to have a more fearsome design for their tattoos and choose a picture of scorpion tattoo for their image. This is a popular design for tattoos especially the black scorpion and red scorpion designs. Artists sometimes modify the scorpion design and add different colors or extra claws to make it look more unique. For the most part though the scorpion design is pretty straight forward and is comprised of sharp pinching claws and a curving spike tail design. This is the same design for scorpions the world over it seems with many people around the globe recognizing the image for what it represents.

A scorpion tattoo is very easy to have tattooed onto your body because its generally only one or two colors so the tattooing time is shorter as theres no need to switch between colors. There are many tattoo shop artists that can create this sort of design and many of them can also modify the images to come out whatever way the customer wants them to look. Some people may want a scorpion that is a little scarier than other designs and will have the artist add some blood or other things around the scorpion design. The main thing is to have the design really stand out and maybe even look like the scorpion is crawling right on the skin of the person with the tattoo.

Many tattoo shop artists have the talent to create a design that looks like its crawling right out of your skin. This makes for a very realistic design and a very striking tattoo for people to see on your body. When you find an image that you may want to have made into a tattoo design you can bring the image to a tattoo shop artist and have him go over the design with you to help him create the tattoo image that you want to have. This usually doesnt take that long as the artist simply makes a sketch that he can work from to create a tattoo design later on.

The scorpion tattoo image is very sharp and looks like it can jump right off your skin if its done correctly by the tattoo shop artist. This will make the design very popular when you show it to your friends. Some people like to have a tattoo hidden and others like to have it visible at all times. This will also depend on what sort of job you have. Some employers will not allow their employees to have blatantly visible tattoos while theyre working with clients because of the stigma they may feel it conveys. But many people are very used to other people having tattoos now and unless its obscene or offensive, many people tolerate them during business.

School Security - Jumbo Shrimp

If I had to choose, Id rather the state feed and clothe my children than let it educate them. -- Iowa grain dealer, Max Belz.

School security is an oxymoron. Despite what school officials might say, no one is safe in public schools. Im not talking about mad shooters. The primary attack on children comes from within the schools, not from outside, and it is constant. It comes from the poorly educated staff, the boring classes, the academic mediocrity, the distrust, the coercion, the bullying, the unfair rules and restrictions. Together, those create the culture, the climate of frustration and anger. In turn, that causes some people to commit the violence -- often extreme. Public school makes everyone its victim. Consider the following:

1. Violence is an ever-present possibility. Bullying is a natural result when humans are trapped against their wills. Anyone serious about doing harm cannot not be stopped. Also, the more schools become armed fortresses, the less educational they are.

2. Civil rights? In public schools, there are none, either for children or their parents. Federal District Judge Melinda Harmon ruled, When you drop your kids off at Public School, you lose your civil rights.

3. Freedom from coercion? Are you kidding? Coercion is the bread and butter of government school. We hear from some school employees that schools are democratic, and yet any teacher or parent will tell you from experience that they are petty and dictatorial.

4. Freedom from verbal assault? Sorry. Taunting and harassment are part of public school's pecking order -- the result of forcing people together into ugly impersonal, insensitive institutions.

5. Academic security? Ha! Look at the records of any state. Only about thirty percent of students are even at grade level according to state standardized tests. There are no goals or academic standards whatsoever. The basic skills are virtually ignored. Dumbing down appears to be the guiding principle.

6. Emotional safety? Students are at the mercy of psychological conditioning and peer-group therapy. The curriculum is designed as a feel-good exercise, not a learning path. The children know they are being cheated. The parents are being conned.

7. Drug-Free Zone? The schools recommend Ritalin and other mind-altering drugs to kids who are anxious, stressed and bored, even for the very young. Who would call that a safe practice? The drug companies are on an aggressive program to diagnose childrens disabilities in order to sell their wares on a national scale. If the schools will drug our children for behavior, what wont they do to them?

8. Integrity? Honor? Virtue? No chance. The systems culture is corrupt, dishonest and self-serving. The employees constantly seek respect and yet, they are the ones who do not respect either the children or their parents. They are the ones who start the school wars, by violating the wishes of parents for their children.

9. Financial responsibility? Accountability? Not a chance. Management by crisis is the norm. Waste is the rule. The system uses every trick to take more money from taxpayers in order to enlarge itself. For example, smaller classes means more hiring, not better instruction.

10. Local control? Theres no such thing. Public school is a state and federal system. The local school board and the administrators are puppets of the legislature, the bureaucracy and the teachers union. There is no autonomy. There is no accountability.

There is no safety of any kind in public schools for children or their families. What permeates the schools in fact is insecurity and fear. The problem is government control. The answer is local control, possibly by establishing a "charter district." That would eliminate the teacher union and burdensome state mandates. Let anyone who can teach apply. Let teachers and parents control what goes on and most of the corruption would end. Where theres no compulsion theres no resistance. Where theres no coercion, theres no rage, and contentment increases. Happy, free and responsible people dont harm each other.
