This is something I stand for and fully support. In service of the need for strong, heart-centered Boys we have launched the Sacred SONZ Youth Program. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In traditional village culture boys would step away from their boyhood identity, and the comforts of the village to take a vital first step on a journey towards young manhood. ⁣⁣@sacredsons ⁣⁣ This kind of young manhood would act in service of the village, not taking from it. A strong sense of belonging, identity and purpose. This is the character of men that we are cultivating. The Sacred SONZ Youth Program IS that first step for the boys in our village.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This 6-week virtual journey is an exploration of connection, identity, integrity, communication, emotions, purpose and service. The Program begins next week Monday June 29. Is your Son or a boy you know ready for this?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Will he join us and take the first step toward a healthy young manhood?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Check in to the latest SACRED SONS PODCAST episode 30 titled ‘Raising Strong Boys: Sacred SONZ Youth’ on iTunes and Spotify with @adam___jackson and @wild_and_wise where we take a deeper dive into how we as parents, guardians, and mentors can show up for our young boys in this time. ⁣⁣ ⁣ LINK IN BIO⁣ 👉 @sacredsons ⁣⁣ #sacredsonz⁣⁣ #sacredsonzyouth⁣⁣ #mentoring⁣⁣ #ritesofpassage

Thursday "HAPPY HOUR" RISK talks to Artist OG Abel - Tattoo Legend Franco Vescovi and MMA Promoter Ed Soares.  Still no format and still weird!  IG Live 6 PM PST Thurs 6/25 @ogabel @franco_vescovi@edblackhouse @monsterenergy@monstermusic @troxphotos@surfmoore @guerinswing@mikezbehindbarz @232amprojects

In case you haven’t heard, @franco_vescovi’s “Mastering Tattoo Portraits” DVD is now on YouTube! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are answers to questions we’ve gotten… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I CAN REALLY WATCH THE ENTIRE DVD ON YOUTUBE? 🤯 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That’s right! All 3 hours uncut. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ THE DVD SELLS FOR $100. WHY DID FRANCO MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR FREE? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Many artists are now out of work, stuck at home, and miss tattooing. Franco heard many were watching his classic DVD to pass time, so he decided to make it available for every artist, especially those that have not seen it. 🙏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHY IS FRANCO NOT USING BISHOP MACHINES IN THE VIDEO? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was filmed in 2007, one year before Bishop Rotary was born. Today, Franco would use the Shader WAND for the entire tutorial (including all lining). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IS IT WORTH WATCHING TODAY? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Absolutely! The theory, techniques, and tricks are still as relevant as ever. Your next tattoo should automatically be better if you apply them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To watch “Mastering Tattoo Portraits”, head over to @bishoprotary and click our bio link! Enjoy your weekend and stay safe! 💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bishoprotary #tattooportrait #classinsession #tutorial #studytime #portrait #createmagic #blackandgrey #tattoo #tattooartist #tattoomachine #tattooartists #tattooist #inked #tattoolife #inkedlife #classic #francovescovi

My good sistar Heather put into words what I feel tattooing IS and should be.....-Something Sacred- do you agree? #Repost @activationvibration ・・・ Tattoo is a sacred form of art and ritual. ⟡ When done with the proper intention, awareness and connection~ tattooing serves as a ceremony of initiation. ⟡ Forever imprinting sacred symbols that are of resonance to the inner being, to display externally; permanently. ⟡ I personally have been fond of tattoos and saw myself covered in them since I was a little girl. Many of my past life visions have consisted of me looking down at my body to see all of my skin covered in tribal tattoos and activating sacred symbols. Many times while journeying with plant medicine, I have looked in the mirror and visually seen the tattoos all over my face that resides underneath my skin. Tattooing as an art can initiate One more into themselves, through displaying the essence and the magic that resides within the secret spaces of the shell. ⟡ My personal tattoos stem and expand from sacred geometry and channeled symbols, and represent different aspects of my journey. They are placed specifically and symbolically- helping to align and activate my energy centers and connect me to my chosen cosmic grid- as my piercings do as well. ⟡ Thank you to @franco_vescovi who is one of my favorite brothers and is one of the magical artists I have chosen to adorn my body~ and yes, I am picky and precise. ⟡ When we tap in to begin our sessions and decorate my physical vessel permanently, we intentionally connect with Source, Higher Frequencies, and specifically call in Yeshua, as he is a close companion of both of ours.😇 In doing so, we ask to be shifted into a space where our vessels are utilized for the highest intention and frequency~ and so, it is. ⟡ Tattooing can also be physically exhausting and taxing on the body- so I make sure to prepare before and after with a personal regimen, plus nourish with lots of water and b12- then detox after with charcoal, niacin and hot yoga. And it’s also important to connect with artists who use quality, non-toxic ink and are skilled with the gear🔥✨ ⟡ Another form of art luxury we get to play with and expe
