Before their was electronic tattooing pens and ink, the Japanese tattooed using prickly pins and traditional ink. This form of tattooing is still done today and has grown quite a liking due to its vintage nature. Unlike electronic tattooing though, the process is pain stacking and long. The video above shows more on this art and thousand year old culture.

INTERVIEWER: Hello how are you, talk to us about yourself
INTERVIEWEE: My name is Maurine Wambugu I am a student, I’m 17 years old. Am still a high school student and am in my fourth form and I like swimming it is my hobby and singing is my talent. The unquiet thing about me in school is that chemistry is the hardest subject. My classmates see it as the hardest subject but apparently I get A’s so for me it’s the most unique thing I have.
Then what I would tell other students out there is that they should not give up in chemistry, I know you get to high school and other students are like chemistry ningumu nakuambia( chemistry is hard I tell you). It is not hard you only need to read and you will pass,
thank you.

Ugandan pop star turned politician and now the leading opposition figure Robert Kyagulanyi also widely known as Bobi Wine today officially announced that he will take on head to head with President Yoweri Museveni come 2021 national elections. “On behalf of the people of Uganda I am challenging you (Museveni) to a free and fair election in 2021,” Bobi announced the news at an event in Kampala. Wine who was wearing a red t-shirt and a red beret which he calls “the symbol of resistance,”a look which has been adopted by thousands.
Wine, 36, entered parliament in 2017, and has emerged as a leading critic of Museveni, striking a chord with young Ugandans with his songs about social justice. One of Wine’s songs contains the lyrics “freedom fighters become dictators,” while others hint that Museveni has stayed in power too long. Bobi has faced repeated arrests and frustrations by security forces concerning his political campaigns and rallies. He is also facing treason charges among other 30 oppositions MPs over stoning president Museveni’s convoy during last year’s campaign rally.
“We are confident that we can put an end to the Museveni dictatorship using a vote and civilized means.”Bobi added. Earlier this year Uganda’s Supreme Court upheld a decision to remove an age cap of 75 for presidential aspirants, paving the way for Museveni to run again in 2021.
