Ah, Curse of Naxxaramas. Hearthstone's first expansion (well, technically, its first adventure). With Naxxramas, we'll do things slightly differently. Because it is an adventure, it naturally has more story content within the adventure itself, so we'll talk first about the adventure itself (based on a raid in World of Warcraft), then we'll talk about the boss encounters in the adventure -- several of which are also legendary cards -- and then continue talking about the rest of the cards. Hopefully I can be less wordier about this!

There are actually two versions of the Naxxramas raid in World of Warcraft. The original Naxxramas was the most difficult raid prior to the first WoW expansion, Burning Crusade. During WoW's second expansion, Wrath of the Lich King, Naxxramas was revamped, and moved from its original position above Eastern Plaguelands to Northrend. While Curse of Naxxramas is largely based upon the raid's second incarnation, there are several aspects it borrows from the first as well.

Lore wise, Naxxramas is a mighty Necropolis, which, in Warcraft III, was the main 'town hall' of the undead forces where acolytes would be trained, and all the resources that the faction gathered would be teleported to. Necropolises of the undead Scourge would hover above the ground, spewing its unholy magic upon the land around it. The mighty lich Kel'thuzad would use Naxxramas as his base of operations during World of Warcraft, after the Death Knight (and future Lich King) Arthas left him in charge of Scourge operations in Lordaeron. Naxxramas would be a bastion of the Scourge's strength where adventurers would attack to attempt to stop the invasion of Scourge upon the Plaguelands, and a band of paladins led by Darion Morgraine once assaulted the mighty necropolis in a failed attempt to free his undead father Alexandros from being an undead thrall. In WoTLK, Naxxramas moved towards the Dragonblight in Northrend using Naxxramas as a staging ground to besiege the Alliance fortress Wintergarde Keep. (Presumably the bosses within are just reanimated once more prior to Naxxramas' movement. Undead beings tend to do that.)

In both incarnations, as is represented in the Hearthstone adventure, Naxxramas has four quarters or wings -- one filled with spiders (Arachnid Quarters), one filled with filled with necromancers perfecting the plague (Plague Quarters), one filled with abominations and other sort of flesh golems (Construct Quarter) and one filled with training the death knights (Military Quarter) before Kel'Thuzad's central chambers would open.

The final boss (and narrator) of Naxxramas is the arch-lich Kel'Thuzad, a being that is instrumental in the rise of the Scourge and its greatest champion and subsequent leader, Arthas Menethil. Kel'Thuzad began much of his life as a particularly talented human mage, a member of the Council of Six -- the mages that ruled over the magic city of Dalaran. However, Kel'Thuzad's power-hungriness and love for the forbidden art of necromancy caused him to be susceptible to the call of the Lich King. At this point, Kel'Thuzad's experiments in necromancy caused the archmages of Dalaran, particularly Antonidas, to banish Kel'Thuzad. Undeterred, Kel'Thuzad would sell his significant properties and venture to the icy wastes of Northrend in the hopes of searching the source of the mysterious voice in his head. Seeing the power that the Lich King commanded, Kel'Thuzad was frightened and enraptured at the same time, but the undead forces of the Scourge did not permit him to leave. Kel'Thuzad would journey to the Frozen Throne and meet the great Lich King himself, and would swear eternal loyalty in exchange for immortality, power and knowledge.

Still human, Kel'Thuzad would return to Lordaeron and use his charisma to found the Cult of the Damned, creating a cult that worshipped the Lich King, lulling them with promises of eternal life in undeath. In Warcraft III, Kel'Thuzad would mastermind the first part of the Lich King's invasion, by placing a plague within the grain distributed to Lordaeron's villages, killing many villagers and raising them ass undead. While Kel'Thuzad was careful to target smaller farmlands and villages, soon word of the undead plague reached the Order of the Silver Hand and the mages of Dalaran, where they sent envoys -- Arthas Menethil and Jaina Proudmoore -- to investigate the town of Brill. Kel'Thuzad would elude the pair for a while, but was eventually hounded down by Arthras, who struck him down with his hammer. With his dying breath, Kel'Thuzad calmly told Arthas that they are not finished just yet.

That would be true, and we'll cover Arthas's entire journey several expansions down the line with Knights of the Frozen Throne, but Arthas would return as a champion of the Scourge, mightiest of the Scourge's Death Knights. Kel'Thuzad's ghost would appear to Arthas and advise him throughout the journey, and Arthas would collect Kel'Thuzad's ashes, and later use the power of the high elven Sunwell (after, y'know, killing the entire high elven people because that's how the Scourge rolls) to revive Kel'Thuzad, not just as any undead, but a powerful Lich -- one of the mightiest kinds of undead. They are skeletal beings that commanded absolute power over frost and death. One of the four types of heroes available to the undead race in Warcraft III, Liches are able to unleash Frost Novas, power themselves with Frost Armour, sacrifice an ally with Dark Ritual to power up the Lich, and destroy even the land itself with Death and Decay. With these powers at his bony fingertips, Kel'Thuzad would continue being Arthas's faithful ally, telling Arthas that their dreadlord allies -- servants of the Burning Legion -- were not true friends of the undead Scourge. Kel'Thuzad would oversee the summoning the mighty eredar lord Archimonde into Azeroth, who then, as Kel'Thuzad predicted, proceed to ignore the undead Scourge and put his lackey Tichondrius in charge of the Scourge. Thus ignored by the Burning Legion, Kel'Thuzad and Arthas would escape amidst the confusion, enacting the Lich King's master plan, pitting the demon hunter Illidan against Tichondrius, then watching as the forces of the living in Kalimdor defeated Archimonde.

In Warcraft III: The Frozen ThroneKel'Thuzad and Arthas would return to the Eastern Kingdoms, and continue their reign of terror over Lordaeron. Kel"Thuzad would assist Arthas in purging all the living humans and the remnants of the paladins from Lordaeron, but the betrayal of several dreadlords, as well as a significant chunk of the undead becoming independent minded, caused Arthas to nearly be killed by Sylvanas Windrunner if Kel'Thuzad had not intervened. Kel'Thuzad would remain in Lordaeron to ensure that the Scourge still has a foothold there while Arthas went to Northrend, and eventually became the new Lich King. Between Warcraft III and World of Warcraft, Kel'Thuzad would enter the mighty necropolis Naxxramas, from where he would rule over the Plaguelands.

Kel'Thuzad would be responsible for the corruption of the Mograine family, transforming the once-noble Alexandros Mograine into a Death Knight and corrupting the holy weapon Ashbringer, and upon Alexandros's purification, transformed his son Darion into a death knight in his stead. Throughout World of Warcraft, the combined forces of the Argent Dawn and the Scarlet Crusade would weaken Naxxramas enough to open it to attack by Alliance and Horde forces, and Naxxramas would be the final dungeon to be released before the expansion Burning Crusade. Adventurers would return with Kel'Thuzad's phylactery -- a magical items that liches possess which store their soul -- to the Argent Dawn. Instead, the adventurer was manipulated into giving it to Father Inigo Montoy, who absconded with the phylactery, allowing for Kel'Thuzad's return in Wrath of the Lich King. Revived and able to regain his form, Kel'Thuzad would summon Naxxramas to Northrend, and would reward Inigo Montoy by transforming him into a Lich called Thel'Zan. However, adventurers would once more lay siege to Naxxramas, defeating Kel'Thuzad and his minions once more.

In addition to his collectible card and his role in the adventure mode, Kel'Thuzad would also show up as an alternate hero skin, and as "Headmaster Kel'Thuzad" in the Scholomance Academy expansion.

Note that Kel'Thuzad's minion card's quotes, as well as that of Feugen, Stalagg, Thaddius, Rivendare and Loatheb, are taken verbatim from the Naxxramas raid in WoW.

The Scourge's first wars happened in Northrend, where the first Lich King, Ner'zhul, exerted his force of will over the native Nerubians, a race of spider-people. The Nerubians would be largely wiped out and transformed into undead crypt fiends (see below), but the mighty spider lords of the Nerubian race, characterized by their more beetle-esque appearance, were instead transformed into more powerful Crypt Lords. Crypt Lords made their first appearance in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, mightiest among them the Traitor King Anub'arak. Crypt Lords are able to Impale enemies by slamming their claws onto the ground and transforming the terrain before them, have a spiked carapace that deflects attacks, summon Carrion Beetles from corpses, and as their ultimate ability unleash a Locust Swarm that damages all around the Crypt Lord and restore health to him.

Due to long periods of sedentary behavior, and unhealthy diets gamers and esports players are at risk for numerous chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Health research has started addressing the public health implications of the esports phenomenon, drawing a bleak picture of this megatrend. However, instead of just highlighting adverse public health implications of this trend, it is recommended to become involved in this phenomenon and positively influence it. Esports has an enormous potential for physical activity and health-promoting efforts, provides a context for broadly disseminating interventions, and offers new ways of gaining access to an often-neglected population. This paper presents: the potential of the esports phenomenon to promote physical activity, health, and well-being in gamers and esports players; the strategic and preventive solutions to ameliorate esports possible adverse health impacts; and the utilization of esports technology (streams, media platforms, exergames, etc.) as an innovative health promotion tool, especially reaching gamers and esports players with attractive and interactive interventions. This is to encourage systematic scientific research so that evidence-based guidelines and intervention strategies involving regular physical activity, healthy diet, and sleep hygiene for esports will be developed. The goal is to promote public health approaches that move toward a better integration of esports and gaming.

Physical inactivity, sedentary behavior (SB), and unhealthy diets are major causes of non-communicable diseases and premature death (Lee et al., 2012; Wilmot et al., 2012). As esports—serious competitive video gaming—has been associated with these unhealthy behaviors, esports developments are often regarded as questionable, especially from a public health perspective (Borggrefe, 2019; Yin et al., 2020). Researchers started addressing the public health implications of the esports phenomenon, drawing a bleak picture of this megatrend (Wattanapisit et al., 2020). Commonly identified adverse health outcomes related to esports and gaming include increased stress (Smith et al., 2019), sleep disturbances (Peracchia and Curcio, 2018), obesity (DiFrancisco-Donoghue et al., 2020), and behavioral problems (Yin et al., 2020). Relatedly, gaming time is linked to sedentary behavior (Rudolf et al., 2020) which also is associated with a higher risk for non-communicable diseases (Bailey et al., 2019). Additionally, esport participants are at risk for problematic Internet use (Argyriou et al., 2017). However, instead of just illustrating the adverse side effects and public health implications, it seems more advisable to understand this phenomenon and leverage the opportunities it offers. Just by its sheer dimension, esports has enormous potential as a setting to promote physical activity (PA) and health. It is important to improve our understanding of how to promote PA, health, and well-being and identify strategic and preventive solutions to address possible adverse health impacts in the esports community.

This paper presents some unique opportunities the esports phenomenon offers to influence PA and health in the esports community. It further tries to encourage systematic scientific research to develop evidence-based guidelines and intervention strategies for health promotion. This is intended to promote public health approaches that move toward a better integration of an ever-growing population of esports players, gamers, and audience.

Esports players and gamers are stereotypically portrayed as young, male, socially inept, isolated “couch potatoes” (Williams, 2003). However, modern video games are not isolating activities that come at the expense of social interaction. Especially multiplayer online games are vibrant community sites (Steinkuehler and Williams, 2006). Research on gamer populations suggests that modern gamers are not isolated teenage males (Yee, 2006; Hedlund, 2021), and that video games are no longer child's play. The average gamer is older than 30 years (Hedlund, 2021). Millennials make up a large portion of the gaming community. Besides playing games with the primary intention of pure enjoyment and entertainment, people from all continents and all walks of life practice or watch esports. Also, the gender composition is changing to an increasing number of highly competitive female esports players (McLean and Griffiths, 2013; Hedlund, 2021).

An esports viewer is usually a video gamer that often wants to learn something about a particular game and the esports audience is mainly made up of millennials (Hamilton et al., 2014; Nilsen, 2019; Xiao, 2020). About 71% of millennials watch gaming content, consuming almost 6 h of gaming content each week (Nilsen, 2019). It is evident that esports is no longer a niche but has arrived in society's mainstream. By reaching the esport community, we potentially gain access to a significant and continuously growing part of our society.

PA is considered a vital component of a healthy lifestyle as seen in guidelines of different professional societies (Piercy et al., 2018). Adults should do at least 150–300 min of moderate-intensity aerobic PA; or at least 75–150 min of vigorous-intensity aerobic PA; or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity activity throughout the week (World Health Organisation, 2020). Despite the benefits of regular PA (Lee et al., 2012), around one-fourth of the world's population do not meet the WHO guidelines (Guthold et al., 2018). Technological advances, societal influences, changes in transportation, and environment have shaped our daily life, decreasing PA, and increasing SB. A growing body of evidence has linked SB to several adverse health outcomes, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease (Katzmarzyk et al., 2009; Marker et al., 2019). Media use is often implicated for causing physical inactivity and increasing SB (Duncan et al., 2012; Hingle and Kunkel, 2012).

Esports players are often referred to as sedentary athletes as gaming requires prolonged sedentary activity. Esports players of different performance levels accumulate more than 3.5 h of gaming per day (Rudolf et al., 2020), while competitive elite esport players reach ~5.3 h per day (Kari and Karhulahti, 2016). Leading up to competitions, collegiate esports athletes reported to practice between 5.5 and 10 h daily (DiFrancisco-Donoghue et al., 2019).

Current data on esports players' PA show inconsistent results; according to an international online survey conducted by Trotter et al. (2020), 80.3% of esports players do not meet the WHO's PA recommendations. Thus, the prevalence of physical inactivity in esports players seems higher than in the general population (Guthold et al., 2018). Contrary, a study by Rudolf et al. (2020) determined that two-thirds of the esport players in Germany achieve the WHO's PA recommendations. This is in line with DiFrancisco-Donoghue et al. (2019), who reported that only about 40% of collegiate esport players from the USA and Canada did not participate in regular PA.

Gaming is typically associated with a higher body mass index (BMI) and, as the length of video gaming sessions is positively associated with BMI (Ballard et al., 2009), esports players may display a higher BMI compared to the general population. According to Trotter et al. (2020), esports players were more likely to be of normal weight, however, they were also more likely to be morbidly obese than the global population. In the study by Rudolf et al. (2020), 51% of the esports players were classified as normal weight. DiFrancisco-Donoghue et al. (2020) found no difference between collegiate esports players and age- matched controls in BMI. Esports players, however, had significantly higher total body fat percentage and significantly lower total lean mass.

Inscryption Is Horrifying Because It Does Things Games Aren't Supposed To

Currently, it is difficult to draw conclusions on the PA and health status of esports players. Most available data is cross-sectional and only based on online surveys, not allowing to establish causality. To date, large-scale accelerometer-based and longitudinal cohort studies are missing. Furthermore, many studies are methodologically flawed as they do not control for potential confounding factors like gender, age, game type, and performance level. Pereira et al. (2019) show that increasing competitiveness affects PA engagement in esports players. Players with a higher in-game rank are more likely to be physically active (Trotter et al., 2020). In a study on high-performance esports athletes, PA levels were three times higher than the WHO guidelines (Kari and Karhulahti, 2016).

Furthermore, studies did not compare the gamers to age matched controls when classifying their sample. A recent study compared accelerometer count in esports players to non-esports players, showed that collegiate esports players were significantly less active (DiFrancisco-Donoghue et al., 2020). Also Rudolf et al. (2020) stated PA status in their study was lower in esports players vs. age matched controls. Due to these methodological deficiencies, the health and PA status of esports players and gamers may be worse than the literature portrays. Regardless, the sedentary nature of gaming puts gamers at a higher health risk. To compensate for this higher risk all efforts should be undertaken to decrease SB and increase PA levels in this population. The esports ecosystem provides promising opportunities.

In the context of PA and health promotion, technology is often perceived as a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it contributes to the increase in SB by expanding screen based entertainment services (video games, applications, television shows), and automating operations increasing occupational sitting time (Clark and Sugiyama, 2015). On the other hand, the widespread use of fitness trackers, smartphone applications, and wearable technologies offers innovative solutions (nudging, ambulatory assessment, tracking) to promote healthy behavior changes, motivate the user to increase PA, and foster consumer empowerment (Spanakis et al., 2016; Wortley et al., 2017). Technology potentially overcomes many barriers associated with traditional face-to-face PA programs.

reel body art pens review

zier70129 April 19, 2023 Comment

As of now, I don't have any permanent tattoos on my body for two main reasons. The first is that I'm indecisive, and can't figure out what a worthy "first tattoo" for me would be; the second is that I've got an addictive personality, and I know once I get my first, I'll be onto my second, third, fourth, in no time at all. Despite the fact that I'm tattoo-less, I was always the kid in school getting yelled at by the teacher for using my pen — or worse, a Sharpie — to draw out little "tattoos" on my skin during lectures, which is why I was so excited to do a BodyMark by BIC Temporary Tattoo Marker Review when I first heard about this product. Whether you have real tattoos or no tattoos, whether you want them or just like to doodle, I felt like this could be a product everyone could enjoy, and now that I've gotten the Tattoo Marker experience first-hand, my suspicions have been confirmed. They rock.

If you're not familiar with stationary brand BIC, go look for a rogue pen in your apartment and I can almost guarantee it's one of theirs. In their first real beauty move, the brand has created the BIC BodyMark Temporary Tattoo Markers, which are skin-safe, long-lasting, easy to use and hella pigmented, so you can DIY your own tattoos freehand without A) committing to a real tattoo; B) having to choose from cheesy temporary tattoo press-ons, and C) exposing your body to markers that aren't skin safe in the name of a cool design.

In total, there are eight different colored markers to choose from, and at the moment you can snag them in a set on Amazon. Hello, temptation:

M/100' Metal Chalk Line Reel

These cosmetic-quality markers were designed with skin in mind, and they're easy and effective enough for both real tattoo artists and everyday doodlers to use. I know what you're thinking — I just confessed that I was a tattoo virgin, so how could I possibly know if these markers would be pro-approved? As a matter of fact, BIC teamed up with a real tattoo artist to make sure these pens were

, and considering Miryam Lumpini has over 251K followers on Instagram and has inked celebs like Skrillex and Swae Lee, it's safe to say she knows her stuff, and believe me, she does.

Lumpini told me that lots of tattoo artists sometimes use pens and markers that aren't skin-safe on clients, which is why she thinks the need for a product like the BodyMark Tattoo Markers was real. Now, instead of using stencils to prep a tattoo on a client's skin, Lumpini can freehand draw a design right on the body using these markers, to ensure her customers like what they see before it gets inked.

Pretty cool, right? Obviously, I'm not a tattoo artist, but that doesn't mean I can't use these babies, too. Lumpini told me that while she thinks artists will be obsessed, all people can enjoy using the markers for their own temporary tattoos, be they part of a costume, the finishing touch for festival season, or just a way to change up your look on the weekend. If you do already have tattoos or are considering getting them, Lumpini had a few other tips, too, including using the markers to test-drive a design and see how you like having it on you before committing to the real thing, as well as using the markers to touch up your current tattoos and enhance the colors, expand the designs, et cetera.

"Everyone can find their own style, and make their own personal expression" said Lumpini of the markers, which in addition to the 8-pack, come in sets of three targeted at different tattoo styles. There's Old School ($13, amazon.com), with classic colors blue, red, and green, New School ($13, amazon.com), with bold, festival-ready hues like light blue, pink, and purple, and Henna Vibes ($13, amazon.com), which contains black, red, and brown for a more natural look. "It also educates people a little more about the different styles of tattoos, " Lumpini adds, before taking a few colors from each set and proceeding to ink me up.

When it came time for Lumpini to test-drive the markers on me, I was more than ready to see them in action:

Sakura Solid Permanent Markers

You guys, Lumpini whipped that up in like 30 minutes, tops, and afterward, the thing was set in stone. Didn't budge, didn't smudge or peel when I pulled my bra strap up and went back to living my life. I couldn't believe how much detail she was able to achieve with just a handful of markers, but Lumpini claims the flexible tip makes it possible to create both super-thin and fairly thick lines, and she can blend the shades with ease.

As for if it looked real, in my eyes, it definitely did. After about a half hour the initial marker shine faded into a more tattoo-like matte, and when I sent Snapchats to my friends teasing that I might've done something to celebrate my birthday, they totally took the bait. I almost tried to trick my mom, but TBH, it looks so real that I would've gotten in trouble, so I didn't risk it. Otherwise, mission accomplished! The brand claims that the tattoos last a few days, but depending on your lifestyle and how often you shower/how hard you scrub, you can extend or limit the life of your style accordingly. Safe to say I'll be picking up a few more markers to play with, and will be scrubbing

This article includes depictions of nudity. It was published in partnership with Artsy, the global platform for discovering and collecting art. The original article can be seen here.

Divinely inspired or otherwise, the Old Testament story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is deeply rooted in the Western psyche. Eve occupies mere pages of the Genesis epic, but women have spent millennia atoning for her original sin. For the last 2, 000 years, Eve has been invoked in the monotheistic world to suppress women's rights and defame their characters. How many misogynistic stereotypes and prejudices stem from the reputation of the much-maligned, archetypal first woman?

The apostle Paul cited Eve's narrative to justify women's subservience to men, writing in the apocryphal book of Timothy that women should "keep silent" because "Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor."

Yoko Ono And The Myth That Deserves To Die

In the Middle Ages, St. Bernard of Clairvaux sermonized to rapt audiences of men and women that Eve was "the original cause of all evil, whose disgrace has come down to all other women." More recently, at a legislative dinner in 2015, South Carolina Senator Tom Corbin was confronted for his combative remarks about women's right to participate in the state's General Assembly. "Well, you know God created man first, " he quipped. "Then he took the rib out of man to make woman. And you know, a rib is a lesser cut of meat."

From these rigid perspectives, Eve is one-dimensional: inherently wicked and an afterthought to Adam. Yet across popular culture and the history of art, Eve appears as a paradox. She is guileful and naive, earth mother and fatal seductress; she is the problem of man, his downfall, his eternal scapegoat.

Such depictions have structured our ideas of beauty, gender, and morality. The oldest conceptions of Eve play out again and again in all reaches of contemporary culture. A judiciously placed apple in a woman's hand in art, advertising, or film can immediately invoke Eve's devious sexuality, and still other references abound. The Handmaid's Tale (2017--ongoing), adapted by Hulu from Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel, features a young, religious character named Eden, who is expected to help repopulate the country. By the same token, in Pixar's animated children's movie WALL-E (2008), the title robot meets a fellow android who has come to bring new human life to Earth. Her name? EVE.

The Feminist Challenge Of Wangechi Mutu

Though never explicitly named in the Bible, the apple has become the de facto "forbidden fruit" -- powerful nomenclature for that which is fatally desirable, and therefore all the more tempting and worthy of moral rule-breaking. The apple's shiny red skin and juicy interior make it an apt stand-in for sex, and the seductive way in which Eve is often depicted eating it only reinforces its libidinal connotations.

Genesis records that after Eve takes a bite of the fruit, she simply "gave some to her husband and he ate." St. Jerome, however, used the Latin word seducta to describe Eve's transgression.

During the Northern Renaissance, German artist Lucas Cranach the Elder perfected the bewitching female nude. In his Adam and Eve diptych from 1528, the couple faces one another beneath the Tree of Knowledge, little red apples bobbing tantalizingly above their heads. A self-possessed Eve holds one perfect fruit out to her husband, who scratches behind his ear in apparent befuddlement. In Cranach's depiction, it's not the serpent whispering in Eve's ear or even the apple that is dangerous, but the perfectly beautiful and alluring woman who will be his pleasure -- and his downfall.

Men are often shown as helpless in the face of this female threat. In Domenichino's 1626 painting, "The Rebuke of Adam and Eve, " God and his coterie of cherubim float down from heaven to reproach Adam. The first man throws up his hands in what looks like confusion or exasperation, diverting the entirety of the blame to his wife.

The image of Eve as sexual temptress has remained frighteningly constant, even in products and programs that purport to challenge ingrained sexist tropes. In the early aughts, for example, the soapy comedy-drama "Desperate Housewives" was lauded for casting five middle-aged women in the lead roles. The intended audience for the salacious TV show was presumably women, yet the impossibly fit, botoxed, and high-heeled characters seemed designed to appeal to men.

The apple's shiny red skin and juicy interior make it an apt stand-in for sex, and the seductive way in which Eve is often depicted eating it only reinforces its libidinal connotations.

Adam And Eve, Painting By Dürer (article)

Red apples played prominently in promotional materials for the show. In the title sequence, an animated version of Cranach's Adam is crushed by a giant falling apple as a blasé Eve looks on. In posters ahead of season five, the topless cast smiles coyly from behind a row of apples and the tagline "Even Juicier."

So should one eat the apple or abstain? Designer Donna Karan exploited this ambiguity for her long-running DKNY scent "Red Delicious." In the ads, a pouty model has just bitten into a green apple (how subversive), and the perfume packaging itself is shaped like the fruit. Sin is no longer the province of Eve alone: The "new temptation in fragrance" was marketed to both women and men.

Once in a while, the story of a woman with an apple doesn't explicitly end with damnation or sex. In Disney's "Aladdin, " the apples Princess Jasmine steals for a young, hungry boy lead to her meeting the titular male hero. They go on to have fabulous adventures together, but it's Aladdin who reveals the world to Jasmine, and not the other way around. Sometimes apples -- potent transmitters of dangerous information -- are exchanged between women. In the 19th-century fairy tale that would later become a Disney classic, a witch proffers the poison apple that puts Snow White to sleep.

Le Baiser, Painting By Jean Claude Chatain

In the book of Genesis, the tempting creature is explicitly referred to as "he" and is described only as a serpent. Yet Eve's casting as an evil temptress gave rise to the belief that the duplicitous snake was female, too. In art, it was often depicted with a womanly upper body and a reptilian lower half. If wickedness is associated with femininity even before Eve gives Adam the Forbidden Fruit, which came first, woman or sin?

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel version of "The Fall of Man" sees his muscular Adam and Eve joined by an equally hulking snake-woman wrapped around the tree. Her right arm grasps the trunk for support as she stretches out to meet Eve's upraised hand. Both Eve and the serpent use their left, or "sinister, " hands, further signaling their deviousness.

Michelangelo was merely following a popular convention of his time. During the Renaissance, snake-women appear in Hugo van der Goes's "The Fall of Man" and "The Lamentation" (ca. 1470--75); a terracotta sculpture of Adam and Eve by the workshop of Giovanni della Robbia (ca. 1515), which took inspiration from a famous Albrecht Dürer engraving; and the stone facade of Notre Dame. A blonde-headed serpent woman in Masolino's "Temptation of Adam and Eve" (ca. 1425), a fresco in Florence's Santa Maria del Carmine, is frighteningly funny: She snakes along the Tree of Knowledge with her comically tiny head popping out of the end of her skinny green body.

Even before the Bible story, snakes were associated with women in cultures around the globe. The hostility that is created between them in the Bible may have been a way to separate the nascent Jewish community from pagan traditions that had a snake as a powerful female goddess. The Canaanite cult of Baal-Asherah heavily influenced the newly formed Israelite nation. In the predominantly female cult, Baal appeared in the form of a serpent with his wife, Asherah, at his side. When the Israelites entered Canaan, pagan religions were demonized in lieu of monotheism.

In this light, the story of Adam and Eve has political undertones. The biblical narrator may have already witnessed an established association between the serpent and the woman in neighboring tribes. When God punishes them, a wedge is driven between the serpent and the woman, cursing everlasting "enmity" between them and their offspring. The story successfully alienates the woman from her longtime ally.

They are indeed powerful together. Who can forget the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards, when Britney Spears walked onstage with an albino python draped across her neck? Dressed as an exotic snake charmer and scantily clad in artfully tattered rags and glitter, Spears fully assumed her onstage persona as an outlet to embrace her newfound sexual freedom. The conflation of the pop star with a sexual goddess transpired before millions of girls and women in the public forum of television. With that scene from Genesis, snakes and women received their eternal reputation of immorality. The snake became an erotic symbol as "the bad

Tattoos have been around for thousands of years. While originally body art was reserved for specific sectors, as of lately we’ve seen tats popping up on just about everyone. These days a left arm full of tattoos no longer means you’re regulated to the outskirts.

As the tattoo becomes more prevalent and accepted by society, we’re seeing all types of tattoo designs emerge. Some of our favorites have been found on the arms of chefs and food lovers alike.

From a cheeky dancing pastry to the different cuts of meat explained on a pig, food tattoos have become a standard in the culinary world. Think of a celebrity chef like Anthony Bourdain, whose arms were covered in different designs, and you can see just how appealing it might be to ink some sort of ingredient onto your body. From sleeve tattoos of a full menu, to mini tattoos of pork chops, to tattoo quotes from visionaries, these culinary tattoos have become synonymous with chefs and the stories they want to share.

Executive Chef Dustin Gardner At Soba Shows Off

The simple truth is, you just look cool if you’re a chef with a culinary tattoo. To me, a good chef tattoo screams, “I’m someone to be respected, someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, and someone who is really into their craft.”

While I recognize that a hand tattoo is not for everyone, I see body art tattoos as a form of self-expression and a celebration of art that is well worth exploring. I love tattoos. I have a few already and have been itching for more.

For a lot of people however, tattoos have a strong sentimental significance. For others, tattoos are simply a way of supporting a tattoo artist and their art.

Showcasing Santa Barbara Chef Ink

Whether or not you’re a person who is interested in a bit of ink, we should consider the potential cons of getting a tattoo.

While you may be obsessed with something at this stage in your life it’s quite possible that will change as you grow.

For example, say you’ve been having a delicious smoothie every morning. Say you love your morning routine so much you’re thinking about getting a tattoo to commemorate it. While I respect a tattoo of one of your smoothie bowls as much as the next, you may find that you prefer toast for breakfast later on.

How Tattoos Have Changed Women's Body Image

Knowing that you can’t erase that tattoo, without a very expensive, painful procedure, is key to making sure you want something on your body permanently. That said, a skilled artist can likely cover over something with a new tattoo design, so forever doesn’t necessarily have to mean forever.

Back in our parent’s generation, it was much less common to see sleeve tattoos on someone in certain companies or jobs. These days, tattoos are becoming more and more commonplace as the stigma around them reduces. I’d personally argue that if your company thinks of tattoos as a deal-breaker, you might consider if you truly want to work for that company.

I’ve also heard folks question whether or not you can still go to heaven with tattoos. My answer to that is of course you can (if heaven is a concept you subscribe to)! Whatever higher spirit or God exists, I can assure you that they won’t punish you for having an old school mom in heart with an arrow tattoo. I’d venture to guess that God might even have a few tats herself.

Chef Tattoo Ideas

As a former restaurant server, I’ve seen many slick culinary tattoos in my day. A chef friend of mine told me once that getting a food tattoo was a right of passage after graduating from culinary school. From blueberry pie tattoos to a stunning back piece full of zucchini spirals, there is a whole world of cool tattoos that you can further explore here .

The following are a few of our favorite tattoos taken from our community via our Facebook , Instagram , and Twitter feed that we wanted to share to hopefully inspire the next generation of those who’ll run a kitchen in style. Make sure to reach out to us on one of those platforms (or on our Youtube and TikTok ) if you have any sick ink we may have missed.

Whether you’re the sous chef, the early morning pastry chef, or the executive chef, this skull and knife arm tattoo is bound to earn you some respect in the kitchen. Taking its inspiration from a more vintage tattoo design, with the smoking skull in a bowler hat, we can’t get enough of this badass black and white tattoo.

Why Do Chefs, And Especially Butchers, Love Tattoos?

Hat’s off to this buddy for knowing how to rock a solid tattoo while using the very best of the best kitchen tools, including the Frost Fire Series and The Shadow Black Series.

As a fan of both knives and the orca whale, I'm in love with one of the most unique tattoos I've come across today (and ever). From the galaxy-like color pallet to the potential plant-based food messaging - we can dig it.

Plus just look at that tattooed chef showing off the stellar Omega Series 8.5" Kiritsuke-Chef Knife - Collectors Set . This is someone who truly doesn’t mess around with their kitchen supplies.

Tattoos Body Image Photos

We love this tattooed chef for the bold statement they’re making with this piece. The combination of a flaming skull in a chef hat and the two knives to replace the usual bones shows us that this chef means business.

Done in the neo-traditional style, this tattooed chef hits the mark for having what a great chef tattoo should include: a knife, a chef’s hat, and fresh ingredients. We love the color, the illustration, and the fact that this woman knows exactly how to wield her chef's knife.

La Times Reports On Chefs With Food Inspired Tattoos |

Whether it’s a pork chop specifically or some other slab of meat, we can’t get enough of this tattooed chef’s devotion to food as something holy.

The meat in this tattoo literally shines (the way branded products always seem to in commercials). I’d without a doubt want to spend some time in this meat-loving person’s company.

My love of meat aside, this tattoo is any foodies’ dream. The beautiful illustrations of bell peppers, asparagus, and chili peppers would make any plant-based food company proud.

We love the fluidity of the design and trust in their style enough to purchase any recommended tattooed chef products of theirs.

From a filleted salmon to a beautifully ripe vine of tomatoes, to a delicious-looking fig I’d eat a bowl of whatever they want to cook me, any time. This chef knows what’s good.

We appreciate how literal this tattooed chef is with the labeling they’ve included in their tattoo. Three of arguably the best ingredients are included in this tattoo: the oyster mushroom, shallot, and tarragon.

Salt And Fire And Ink: Central Jersey Chefs Talk Tattoos

Any rookie chef would be wise to mix these all together and serve them up like a pro. And any tattoo lover would be wise to take a hint from this body art.

Now that we’ve examined a mix of stellar chef and culinary-inspired body art tattoos you must be asking yourself, what would look best on me?

While my favorite cook tattoo of the bunch was the more simplistic black and white skull, there are endless options when it comes to becoming the coolest tattooed chef in town. You could go with the culinary trends and get something like a cauliflower pizza crust tat or you could stick to something more classic and get something like this cool Rocker Knife .

It’s important to take into account what style of tattoo you want and where on the body you intend to put it. A knife tattoo of a cleaver , for example, could be really impressive but probably wouldn’t look great on a small area of the body like an ankle. Just like The Raptor would look stellar paired with some sort of reaper character, but again you’d need to devote a larger portion of your body to the art.

This sleek little paring knife could look fantastic with a traditional style pin-up cook tattoo, or you could keep it simple and just have the knife as a stand-alone piece. These brisket knives also have a beautiful, clean design that I think would make any tattooed chef proud.

Whatever you choose, make sure you take a look at the artist’s portfolio and flash sheets (tattoo designs they’ve pre-drawn for clients to choose from) before booking an appointment. Choosing a tattooer is often overlooked, but I’d argue the most important part of getting that perfect body art.
