| CAFE 541: Modern day ink queens - The Register-Guard Posted: 15 Aug 2019 05:10 AM PDT How local female tattoo artists are breaking down barriers, stigma and gender norms Adorned in ink with heads held high, modern-day ink queens are crushing gender norms and empowering women everywhere. Suzen Tatoozen-Tanton, a 28-year veteran tattoo artist, is just one woman of a female empowerment movement sweeping across Eugene: More women are becoming tattoo artists, opening their own shops and taking on a traditionally male-dominated industry. While tattoos are much more common and accepted in society, stigma still exists. There's a notion that people sporting ink on their skin are unprofessional, or that only criminals and societal rejects get tattooed. Those taboos are worse for women with tattoos, who often are judged more harshly or thought of as rebellious or promiscuous. Although viewpoints are evolving and women with tattoos are much more accepted, female tattoo artists still face negative stereotypes — often being flatly told to stay out of the industry. But female tattoo artists are steadfastly emerging, using what some would call gender-stereotyped traits thought of as making women weak — nurturing, gentle and motherly — as strengths to further their craft and ability to bring a personal touch to their art. "Because I'm a woman I tap into my feminine and flowy powers and I tattoo a lot of women," Tattoozen-Tanton said. "It's important to me as a woman to tattoo other women to help them feel better about themselves and empowered." For the most part, the Eugene area and Oregon in general are very supportive and empowering for women artists. After being in the area for so many years, Tattoozen-Tanton said she believes the people here are more accepting of creativity. "Here, you're an artist," Tattoozen-Tanton said. "Everyone is just more accepting of you as an artist and it doesn't matter if you're male or female." The empowering presence of female artists is what led Tattoozen-Tanton to open her own shop, Whiteaker Tattoo Collective, in Eugene. But, she isn't the only one who recognized the welcoming atmosphere surrounding female artists. Terrah Wilmot, a local tattoo artist, said being a female tattooer is the best job in the world. Wilmot's deep-seated love for art led her to the tattoo industry and eventually to Queen Bee Tattoo Salon in Springfield. She's been in the industry for the past five years and said having the ability to not only express herself as an individual, but also make others feel good about themselves is a gift. "It's not about women are better than men or men are better than us," said Wilmot, who is proud of the women standing up for themselves and saying they can do what a man can. "It's about us coexisting and doing this together." The tattoo industry is increasing in popularity — and revenue. For example, the industry will generate an estimated $2 billion in 2019 — and women have a big role in that, according to the market research firm IBISWorld. Tattoos date back thousands of years, but the first female artist didn't emerge until the early 1900s. Maud Wagner, originally a contortionist and acrobat in the St Louis World's Fair, is said to have agreed to date the tattooed globetrotter Gus Wagner in exchange for tattoo lessons. The pair later married. He taught her the art of tattooing by hand — a form he perfected — and was known for being one of the last artists to work only by hand. Having learned how to tattoo other people and adorning herself in tattoos, Wagner laid the groundwork for the female tattoo artists of today. Modern-day artists such as Kat Von D and Ryan Ashley Malarkey, the 2016 and first female winner of Ink Master, are proving that female artists are here to stay. More women are breaking through industry barriers and earning the opportunity to be recognized for their art. Tattoo expos and conventions are becoming one of the best places for female artists to showcase their work. These events bring together hundreds of artists, spectators and collectors for a weekend of live tattooing and entertainment. Events range from local gatherings to high-profile events with famous artists from around the world. Female-only conventions also are gathering speed and taking place around the world, including "The Other Side of the Ink," taking place in Rome later this year. Fortunately, Lane County residents don't have to travel far to experience a convention. The Evergreen Tattoo Convention occurs annually in Eugene. It was established in 2016, by husband and wife teams Joshua and Nichole Carlton and Riley Smith and his wife Erin Smith, artist and owner of Queen Bee Tattoo Salon. The convention brings together more than 200 professionals from 30 states and four countries, but is invitation only. Erin Smith said while they don't go out of their way to find outstanding female artists, they are looking for the best of the best and many of them happen to be women. "For Evergreen we seek out both established and up-and-coming artists that are less well known," Smith said. "There are so many amazing women out there, and with social media they are even easier to find." Smith and husband Riley also own a local tattoo school — their connections from the school allow them bring in world-class artists to give classes and training for the artists at both of their salons, she said. However, when it comes to her own journey, Smith said it didn't come as easily. She said she never felt as if she was a true-born artist like her husband Riley Smith, owner of Lifetime Tattoos in Springfield. She broke into the industry in 2008, and after taking art classes at LCC, Smith found her passion in cosmetic tattooing. In a search for a place to hone her passion, Smith said it was the perfect opportunity to bring in an all-female crew. In 2015, she opened Queen Bee Tattoo Salon. "It had been a dream of mine to have an all-female shop since I got into the industry," Smith said. "It's an amazing time to be an artist and a female artist. It's much more accessible here." While working with all women can be very empowering, Queen Bee artist Jexica Lee said it took some getting used to. "I grew up and always worked around men," Lee said. "This was a change for sure, but it's been amazing. It's really symbiotic." Lee went through a series of difficult life events, and finally decided to give her passion a try. While supporting her three children on her own, she put herself through tattoo school and established a strong clientele during the past few years. "Tattooing helped me change my future," Lee said. "I did it not only to empower and prove to myself that I could do anything I wanted, but also to prove to my children that they could too." Oregon is one of the only states nationwide that requires artists to attend a tattoo academy or school before getting their license. Prospective artists attending these pathway schools must complete 360 hours of theory and practical training, as well as show documentation for 50 completed tattoos during their education. After completing their education, and required health certifications and passing the state examination, artists can then become licensed. Because of this, the tattoo industry in Oregon is much more accessible to women. Traditionally, prospective artists sought out apprenticeships with licensed artists in order to get their own certification. Unfortunately, because it's often up to artist discretion, women were often turned down simply because they were women. Heather Maranda, artist, teacher and owner of the Oregon Academy of Tattoo and Fine Art in Eugene, said she knows that experience all too well. "Being a woman, I felt that I was not taken seriously," Maranda said. "I decided I was not going to let anyone gate-keep what I was doing. Instead of relying on the fact that I'm female, I'd rather let my work speak for myself." After dropping out of design school she traveled around in hopes of securing an apprenticeship, only to be laughed at, have doors slammed in her face and be offered secretary positions. "Tattooing was still the wild west in the 90s," Maranda said. "They didn't want any females working in their shop. It was very misogynistic." Despite being constantly turned down, Maranda went on to make a name for herself. She married, started a family and opened her first tattoo shop in 2007 in Haines City, Florida. Eighteen months ago, she started developing the curriculum for her tattoo academy. She has finalized her licensing and hopes to accept students this September. "My school is a reflection of myself," Maranda said. "I love seeing that spark in other artists and I love lifting people up." Maranda said being a woman in the tattoo industry is hard, but being a mother of three comes with it's own set of challenges. She said tattooing is her life, and it can get in the way of raising a family. She spends almost every day building and maintaining her business, which includes answering emails and running social media accounts. The tattoo industry is thriving through social media, and is a place where many female artists are making their mark. More women are able to share their work and gain name recognition because of the social reach these platforms have. But social media is no stranger to trolls, making harassment of female artists that much easier. A fellow tattoo artist and soon-to-be teacher at Oregon Academy of Tattoo and Fine Art, said he's seen female artists attacked, sexualized and put down on social media, just because they're women. "The idea that any man can do this job better than a woman, just because he's a man is a complete and utter falsehood," said Fuzzy, who prefers to go by a single name. "Men who feel they can exploit them just because they're women, are tearing these artists down." Fuzzy said it shouldn't matter if the artist is male or female, but rather the focus should be if the art is quality art. As an artist in the industry for 10 years, Fuzzy said he's worked in many different shops including those run by women. The woman-owned shops were often cleaner, more organized and the communication level was much better, he said. Fuzzy said he's honored to work at the academy and learn from Maranda because he believes she's a better artist. He wants more men to realize it's about the art, and they should be willing to learn from women. Men in the industry need to support women as artists rather than hindering them, he said. "Women don't always need a hand up," Fuzzy said. "They are already contenders at or above our level, we just need to stop dragging them down." Struggling with gender norms is something Tattoozen-Tanton said is unfortunately very common for female artists. Because tattooing is such a male-dominated industry and women have only been accepted in it for a short period of time, some people think they can take advantage of female artists, she said. Despite having been in the industry for almost 30 years and working hard at developing her craft and reputation, she still faces doubt because she's a female. She recalls experiencing people stealing from her, people trying to break into the shop while she was inside and having to lock the doors for her safety. Tattoozen-Tanton credits her ability to handle negative interactions to being raised on a farm with older brothers. "No one ever expects me to be the owner of my shop," Tattoozen-Tanton said. "I've learned to just be that tough outer exterior. It's about being stoic but polite." She entered the world of tattooing in 1991, and has since used her platform to give back to the community. Her main passion project is called Transformation Ink, an effort to help survivors of sex trafficking by covering up their "pimp brands" or tattoos forced on sex trafficking victims by their perpetrators as a mark of ownership. Tattoozen-Tanton funds the project with help from the community. "We're standing on the shoulders of other women that have spearheaded this movement," Tattoozen-Tanton said. "It's really important for women to support and empower each other and themselves through art." |

Despite all the flak they get for everything from lifestyle to financial discipline, millennials AmorePacific. India is slowly but surely warming up to the K-beauty fad. As an increasing number of women spend more on cosmetics, coupled with the market vacuum created by the absence of aggressively priced premium products may give the global giant the nudge it badly needs despite a blip in its domestic market.

| I'm an Expert Packer, and This Is the 1 Travel Bag I Take on Every Single Trip - POPSUGAR Posted: 10 Aug 2019 11:55 AM PDT  I like to consider myself a pro traveler. Whether it's weekend getaways or heading overseas for several weeks, I never pack more than a carry-on suitcase. The one thing that saves me tons of space is having the perfect travel bag to go along with my suitcase. I normally stuff this bag with my cosmetics, shoes, and my own handbag, and that extra space allows me to fill my luggage with more clothes. But finding the right bag that fit all those things comfortably wasn't easy. Throughout the years, I tried and tested so many options, but I was always faced with the same issues: not enough useful pockets, zippers, or carrying straps. Then I finally discovered this Dagne Dover 365 Medium Landon Neoprene Carryall Duffle Bag ($155), and it's a total game changer. I first started spotting the bag on the street, at the gym, and even on Instagram. Then, when one of my favorite bloggers did a story on how it's her favorite bag, I decided to make the plunge and treat myself to one. The bag comes in a wide range of sizes from extra small to extra large, so you can choose the right one for your needs. I now have both the medium and large size. The medium is great for overnight trips or as a gym bag, which our fitness editors also love, too. The large bag is ideal for weekend getaways or long trips when I use it for my shoes and cosmetics. What makes this bag stick out to me? The features are just so smart. It has a laptop pocket, a large interior zip pocket, two mesh pockets (great for water bottles), a removable zip pouch, key leash, two strap options, and even a shoe bag. But, hands down, my favorite feature is on the outside: it has a small phone pocket. So, when I'm in the airport and my purse is packed away I still have easy access to it for my boarding pass and digital wallet. I love it so much, I never go anywhere without it. It helps me stay organized and I never have to dig through it to find my stuff. I even ended up snagging this Dagne Dover Large Hunter Neoprene Toiletry Bag ($55), and it's hands down one of the most useful cosmetic bags I've ever used. So, what are you waiting for? Now's the time to upgrade your travel life in style. Keep reading to shop all the options and colors and get yours.  |
| Seoul Beauty Product Haul: What Do Beauty Editors Buy in Korea? - Allure Magazine Posted: 03 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT  For me, visiting beauty stores in Seoul, South Korea, was like walking into museums. While browsing through shops in the city's major shopping areas, like Myeong-dong and Garosu-gil, I found myself more interested in looking and studying every product in every aisle than purchasing every innovative serum, sheet mask, and face mist that called out to me. Even the way everything was marketed inside the stores fascinated me. Picture male K-pop stars as the faces of eye shadow, face wash, and lipstick launches. I couldn't fly back home to New York City without putting down my credit card for some key purchases at A'Pieu, Banila Co, Holika Holika, and AYU25, though. All are K-beauty brands that are hard to find in America, so I knew I couldn't pass up on the opportunity to shop their beloved products. By the end of my week in Seoul, I ended up making 15 purchases. Keep scrolling to check out all the K-beauty products I brought home with me.  |
| Games Inbox: What’s the most you've spent on loot boxes? - Metro.co.uk Posted: 15 Aug 2019 09:36 AM PDT   The Evening Inbox doubts whether TimeSplitters will ever be a hit, as one reader argues against silent protagonists in Fire Emblem. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ukmetro.co.uk Not a pennyWhenever I see one of these stories about microtransactions I feel like I'm an alien that's just landed. People are spending over £100 to buy a slightly different looking axe for one of the characters in a 'free' game? As if the world didn't feel like it was going mad enough people (kids mostly, I assume) are literally spending money on nothing. As far as I can gather loot boxes are successful because of peer pressure amongst young teens and preying on the easily addicted. Obviously EA execs are okay with it but I'd like to think I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I knew that was where all my money was coming from. People say that it doesn't matter because they're all cosmetic but it does matter in terms of people's lives they're ruining, addicting them to gambling and encouraging them to clear out their parent's wallets. The whole thing is just awful. But the strangest thing is I don't think I've ever spent a penny on loot boxes or been even the slightest bit tempted? I asked my friends if they had and they immediately said no, although then they admitted that they do use them for FIFA Ultimate Team which apparently 'doesn't count'. I'm sure that's not how it seems to EA's bank balance. Butterfly lifespanI had no idea that this delisting of Forza games was a regular thing, to the point where they've invented a name for it. How awful. They're not really my thing but the idea of a game just disappearing from existence, and only those that originally bought it in its narrow window of existence ever able to play it just sounds wrong. I realise car games are usually always improve on in their sequel but aren't the Forza Horizon ones always set in a different country, that they're obviously not going to go back to in the next one. When Forza Horizon 4 is four years old and gets delisted does that mean nobody will be able to drive around in the UK anymore? As far as I can see it does. You'd think a company the size of Microsoft could afford to spend the extra to extend the licence, or just buy a lifetime one in the first place. Seem unnecessarily cheap and once again undermining the worth of games and their longevity. Physical disappearanceThe story about the imminent delisting of Forza Motorsport 6's digital version really made me appreciate the incredible foresight (considering that the Internet and digital video game stores weren't even a thing back then) that Olivia Newton-John displayed in her seminal 1981 hit, 'Let's Get Physical'. That's what the song was about, right? GC: You realise they'll stop printing disc copies as well? Advertisement Advertisement E-mail your comments to: gamecentral@ukmetro.co.uk Ignoring the alternativeThe most interesting part of the THQ news for me was that they're definitely making a sequel to Metro Exodus. Like many on the Inbox I feel the game was unfairly overlooked (and will almost certainly be sidelined when it comes to end of the year awards) and I'm glad it did well enough to get another game, hopefully the same or even higher budget. GC's interview with Dmitry Glukhovsky is still one of my favourites and I'm very interested to see how he'll continue the story given the unusual politics involved. People complain about there being too many Call Of Duty games and whatever but I do wonder whether that means they're still buying the games or not and if they're seeking out alternatives like Metro Exodus. If you're just supporting the status quo then there's really no point complaining as all these companies are ever interested in is what makes money. Activision would stop making Call Of Duty tomorrow if it became unprofitable and switch to Barbie Horse Adventure sequels if they thought that'd make more. Brothers in armsKind of crazy to think there's only four years between Contra III and Duke Nukem 3D. In my mind they're generations apart (which I guess they are, technically) with no crossover at all. They are kind of similar in terms of the tone though (dumb dudebro style action) but I've never found Duke Nukem funny or charming. I didn't play a lot of first person shooters back in those days as I didn't have a PC but the few times I played at a friends I was more impressed by the tech than the gameplay. That said, seeing 2D guns and enemies running around did get a chuckle out of me, so good luck to those who still like that sort of thing. Out of timeAs much as I'd love to think otherwise I really don't see a new TimeSplitters being very successful. People seem to forget that the games weren't even very big when they first came out, at a time when first person shooters were still new on consoles and it was very rare to see something of that quality. Even with the GoldenEye 007 connection it didn't seem to make any difference. I think it was because they were silly and had a sense of humour, rather than being grim and serious, but they neve really took off and I remember being really disappointed that the Future Perfect one by EA was obviously going to be a flop before it was even released, which it did end up being. If THQ can make the new game a hit then great but I think fans have to accept that most people will never care. Crustacean carnageGoing to get my request in early. Can we get a review of Crab Champions when it's released?! It looks absolutely bonkers. For those who don't know, the reveal trailer can be found here: Cheers!
Advertisement Advertisement Catch up on every previous Games Inbox here Speak upWhenever someone writes in saying that Link should talk in a Zelda game I am the first to howl, 'Neverrrrrrr!' (Well, in my head anyway, I don't want to look a loon on the train). I've generally always been fine with silent protagonists in general and feel they're usually the best choice for anything that doesn't rely on cut scenes. But the one in Fire Emblem: Three Houses is awful. If you haven't played the game it works kind of like Zelda and while you're given a choice of gender (and eye colour, I think) and then that's it. They don't say anything the whole game just make a weird gesture with their hand that I think is meant to imply they're talking, even though their mouth never moves. This animation goes on for awkward long seconds and takes me out of the game every single time it happens. I never feel like the character I'm playing is real or my avatar or anything. It's just a stupid, badly animated prop, a literal shop dummy for all the difference it makes. The weird thing is they will say a one sentence little quote when you select them on battle and that's the only time ever in the whole game. It works in Zelda but it really doesn't in Fire Emblem. Inbox also-ransJust out of curiosity, I assume I'm not the only person who has got a pretty large library of generally great games from Epic Games Store for free without ever having bought anything from Epic store. GC: We're sure you're not. But do you now have a more positive impression of the store than you might otherwise have? That's why they do it. And I thought I was good at Tetris… till I played Tetris 99! Friend code SW-0703-4469-5210 This week's Hot TopicThe subject for this weekend's Inbox was suggested by reader Tolly, who asks what's your favourite strategy video game? Although they're usually quite rare there's been an unusual number of strategy and strategy role-playing games released this summer but what is your favourite of all time? What is it you like about it and how does it compare to both other strategy games and action titles with a similar setting? If you don't play strategy games why not, and is there anything that might convince you to give them a go? Do you think they'll always be a niche genre or could you see them becoming more popular in the future?
