When it comes to hunting for sport, the bigger the antlered head the better. Of course, prized trophies aside, survival hunting has been a natural part of history for thousands of years and counting. For every type of hunter out there, it’s easy to respect the special connection man shares with deer and the land around him. These gentle and graceful animals may only poke their heads out of the woods once in a while, however, their history with mankind is certainly apparent....

Garter tattoos are designs made to represent femininity and sexiness, but with the added subtlety incorporating women’s strength and individuality also wrapped into the idea. While many collectors sport the lingerie version to create a current of sensuality into their thigh tattoo, others combine design choices to enhance factors such as strength and resourcefulness. Garters are traditionally incorporated into a bride’s attire to throw to the crowd on their wedding day but are used for holding up stockings (lingerie rather than utilitarian)....

Star Wars is iconic for its contributions to pop culture and social trends, and Chewbacca might be one of the most valuable. He is a perfect symbol of devotion, friendship, and determination. Chewbacca is the tall, hairy, and slightly jealous best friend of Han Solo, the Captain of the Millennium Falcon. As soon as he appeared on screen when the original Star Wars: A New Hope hit theaters, the audience fell in love with the huggable giant puppy and his semi-ferocious howls....

The lion has long been considered the king of the plains. The four-legged beast is synonymous with courage, strength, pride, and even royalty amongst some people.

These individuals are looking to exemplify their power, courage, honesty, loyalty, or nobility....

Football is king among all sports and, like all kingdoms, there are masters in the field. You follow the team that you believe represents you the best. Maybe you believe in the spirit of the team, or perhaps you side with the team from your hometown. No matter the reason, they are your team and you know it. One of the coolest aspects of NFL teams is they took their team logos seriously and chose some awesome symbols....

The first trailer for Space Jam: A New Legacy has dropped, and boy oh boy is it exciting. The film stars LeBron James and is the long-awaited follow-up to surprise 1996 hit, Space Jam. The original starred Michael Jordan and focused on him teaming up with the Looney Tunes to win a basketball game. This sequel has a similar plot, but with a few key differences. This time around the movie focuses on the relationship between James and his (fictional) son Dom....

If you want to make a breath-taking statement with your ink, then it would be hard to go past a Japanese samurai mask tattoo. A key to psychological warfare was the samurai’s armor, most notably the menpo, or mask that protected the warrior’s face. A Japanese samurai mask was typically unique to the man who was wearing it. Several superstitions believe that these awe-inspiring masks and helmets contained the long-deceased spirits of Japan’s original conquerors....

The UK Government and liquor industry leaders have welcomed the US Government’s decision to freeze a 25% tariff that has blunted the trade in single malt whisky since 2019. Then US President Donald Trump installed the tariff in 2019 in response to an ongoing trade war between aerospace companies Boeing and Airbus relating to civil aviation regulations. The US Department for International Trade (DIT) said on Thursday the new Biden administration had suspended the tariff for the next four months, which should result in better prices on your favorite bottles from Scotland....

Putting together a list of the essential albums to own on vinyl is not only impossible, it’s hugely stressful. I’ve done at least 30 variations; adding albums, taking off others, rearranging bits and pieces, or changing my mind altogether and taking it from the top. There are sure to be some controversial takes, and there’s a swath of genres, records, and artists who didn’t make the cut, but I’ve only got one set of ears, a personalized palate, and a tight deadline....

If your walls are feeling dull and listless, adding some framed artwork or photographs can do a lot to up the room’s energy. But why not go straight to the source? Interior (and exterior) wall murals are an amazing way to add color and movement to your living spaces. You don’t need to be a skilled artist, either, since you can just as easily install a mural using large-scale wallpaper or decals as you can a bucket of paint....

They say that, in ancient times, Neptune, god of the sea, preferred aquatic travel to land. To visit new locales, he would merely strike the butt of his trident to the earth, and fissures would form, the land would quake, and water would rush through the opening, paving a way for he and his marine host. Others believe that Shiva wielded his trident to fight off negativity and evil spirits. Each prong represents a different gunas—sattvika, rajasika, and tamasika — in Indian vedic philosophy....

Cerberus tattoos are a sensational phenomenon right now, and the trend is about to explode in a big way. The vicious three-headed dog is a godly omen of manliness. There are plenty of grand reasons to pursue a glorious Cerberus tattoo.

In the UFC, a great fight is never too far away. The organization had its first fight card in 1993 and since then there have been thousands of exhilarating contests. It has gone from strength to strength and is now bigger than ever. With so many memorable fights over the years, it’s very hard to make a top 10. What all these fights have in common is that there was a lot on the line and they were all brutal battles....

An expansive and handsomely appointed library was once the hallmark of the privileged gentleman’s home. A retreat as much as an intellectual chamber for bettering one’s self, the library stood for much of what we have lost in the centuries following. While many of us are unable to dedicate an entire room to a full scale library, the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf is absolutely obtainable, with the very same ability to transform your space into the quarters of a true renaissance soul....

All gentlemen can agree that a spade tattoo is both striking and symbolic. Its meaningful connotations extend into many arenas, but the icon is primarily associated with gambling, fate and death. The spade marks a preeminent representation of the unknown. As a tattoo, the shape adds great mystery to a man’s personality. It simultaneously reflects an inquisitive nature alongside a macabre fascination with the dark side of reality. As one of mankind’s original depictions of a shovel, the spade is a great image for those who like to dig deeper....
