According to the HUFFPOST LIFESTYLE:

A father who had the words "f*** life" inked across his stomach in his youth has had the expletive covered by a huge dragon tattoo - for the sake of his kids.

Andy, 27, from Glasgow, has two young daughters under the age of five and, as a result, wanted to cover up the undesirable tattoo before they learned to read.

... He said he first had the tattoo when he was 18 years old because he was obsessed with the rappers Tupac, Eminem and 50 Cent. For him, it was a way of making him look "hard".

The world is guided by two very different perspectives. The secularist believes that life is just a series of random events, with no deeper meaning or purpose. The religionist, on the other hand, believes that we are all the product of a thoughtful and purposeful Creator. So, either nothing means anything or everything means something. Either life is an accident or it’s replete with meaning.

These two sets of opinions could not be more diametrically opposed to one another. Surely, the evidence must point in favor of one over the other. Here’s one for the life is full of meaning category.

We’ve long known that the best way to identify a person is by the unique loops, ridges and whorls that make up their fingerprints. That’s because the odds are one in several billion that any two people could have matching fingerprints. But these patterns, also known as dermatoglyphics, may be used for more than identifying crime scene suspects. New research indicates that the fine details of our fingerprints may also tell the story of our individual ethnic origin and even predict our medical destiny.

According to Jessica Firger with NEWSWEEK:

For some time, anthropologists and forensic scientists have used fingerprints to learn more about identity … Anthropologists examine what’s known as Level 1 details, a close look at the pattern types and ridge counts. Forensic scientists focus on Level 2 details, fingerprint “minutiae,” or the specific variants of fingerprints …

A study published recently in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology is one of the first joint efforts to bridge the gap in the two fields by examining ... ancestry with a look at pattern type variation of Level 2 detail … While they weren’t able to detect any notable variations in the fingerprints of men versus women, the researchers did find Level 2 differences in the fingerprints of African-American people versus those of European-American descent.

[Also] a growing body of research has found that … there are some patterns, shapes and repetitions of fingerprint patterns that are unique to certain diseases and health conditions. One study suggests people with Alzheimer’s disease have more ulnar loops (loop patterns that flow toward the little finger) and fewer ridges and arches. Another study, published in the American Journal of Genetics, found that women with breast cancer were more likely to have a pattern of six or more whorls (coils or spirals) on fingers than women without the disease.
