Ooh, nice one! Not unlike my curiosity upon where the hell the Basque language came from, anyway.

Now, according to a quick search, Finnish & the Magyar language seem to have split around 4-4,500yrs ago? That's a BOATLOAD of time, though.

Almost like trying to relate wildly-different languages from the Indo-European language group, right..?

    I've always wanted to try out henna, but I don't have the talent to actually do them on myself. Would be a very cool way of testing out a tattoo before commiting!

    Here's my Ganapati tattoo. It's just above my knee, so it's longer or shorter depending on if I straighten my like. My baby nephew loves to play "big Ganesha, little Ganesha" by making me slow motion kick my leg out so he can watch Ganesha flex haha

    When I was a rowdy boy (lol), I used to love playing around with a certain Indian tattooing method. "Hennah," I think it was..?

    It was so, so cool to be able to make an interesting tattoo every week (and yeah of course, sometimes they were disasters), but some of them I really wish could have been permanent. Anyway the Ganapati tattoos I'm seeing online look pretty boss!

    Note: I don't mean to downplay the religious / spiritual / belief-centric aspects of Hindi deities and iconography whatsoever. To me, there is much beauty and things to admire about the Indus sub-continent, the peoples, customs, Hinduism, Jainism, et cet.
