The Most Desolate City on Earth: Gunkanjima, aka ‘Battleship Island’
Utterly abandoned, this former coal-mining site stands like a rotten tooth jutting from the turbulent waters off Nagasaki. A formidable seawall protects a dense warren of empty factory buildings and crumbling apartments. Roofs have blown off or caved in and walls have sloughed off their skins, leaving the skeletal underpinning of buildings visible. Dark hallways and dangerous, twisting staircases abound in M.C. Escherian complexity, leading to ruined vistas with names like “Block 65” and the “Stairway to Hell.” (Top-left and top-right, respectively.)

My first tattoo, about 3 days old when I took the picture.
I got this tattoo because, fuck it lol. I have a huge hard-on for all things Star Wars.
Long live the Empire.
I didn’t get a cellphone until I was going into ninth grade, and that was only because I was paying for the phone and monthly charges myself.
The sense of entitlement that kids have these days is absolutely disgusting (including my brother who was upset because he didn’t get a laptop or Madden 2012).
Really sad, people have gotten so superficial.
