先輩の手首に先輩の作品の周りにバックグラウンドを彫る事になって、ちょっと緊張しっちゃったわ！バイオ風な牙はいつもえぇ感じや！
A little pressure tattooing on an upperclass(wo)man’s wrist… around the work of other upperclassmen. Can’t go wrong with bio-y teeth!

広島のイベントはめっちゃ楽しかったがやっぱり大阪に帰ると安心するわぁ！
Hiroshima was a blast, as expected (a tiring one at that). Everyone down there really went out of their way to make sure all guests were accommodated and that things went off without a hitch. Still, I was glad to be back in Osaka the next morning. Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home!

On Monday, August 6, 1945 at 8:15 AM the first atomic bomb dropped on a civilian population exploded over Hiroshima City, killing an estimated 140,000 people.

It was the first attack of the Cold War and a turning point for humanity.

Today is an opportunity to reflect on the repercussions of those terrible bombs and in doing so honor the memories of their victims.
