Rochester street preachers claim to live by the legacy of Jesus. One stated,“We find it necessary to be on the streets, among the people who are hurting. Just as Jesus was.”

T attooing has become so widespread, fashionable,and even commonplace in the last decade that it’s easy to forget how disreputable it used to be.Body adornment
was vulgar. It was for sailors, criminals, gang members, and lowlifes. In its most extreme forms, where people chose to cover their entire torsos -and limbs with intricate designs, there was something of the freak show about it. For women, even more than for men, tattoos reeked of loose morals and a bad attitude. Prejudice maybe, but that’s how it was.
The book Modern Primitives, published by Re-Search in Los Angeles in 1989, revelled in the tattoo’s outlaw status. Along with piercing (which has also taken off) and scarification (still problematic for most of us), tattoos were seen as ways of exploring intense forms of experience through the body. Some disturbing images made the book controversial, but it played its part in the inexorable process by which tattoos moved from culture’s edge to its heart. If that assimilation is now complete, celebrities can take much of the credit.
A host of Hollywood stars-Drew Barrymore, Christina Ricci, Ben Affleck-sport tattoos. Angelina Jolie has no fewer than 12, including the Latin words “quod me nutrit me destruit” (that which nourishes me destroys me) below her navel next to a heavy black cross. The phrase comes from a 1585 portrait of the Elizabethan playwright Christopher Marlowe, where it appears on the canvas as a motto.To judge by the number of Weblogs devoted to it, many people are utterly fascinated by Jolie’s gothic inscription. In esthetic terms, it’s quite different from the ornate but tacky ilustrative style of the traditional tattoo. Jolie seems here to be treating her body as the most intimate surface for writing, a public carrier for a personal manifesto of exceptional potency. A comparable though even more extreme fictional instance of this kind of body writing is the man with no long-term memory played by Guy Pearce in the thriller Memento. His flesh became a notepad on which he tattooed words he wouldn’t otherwise remember-an image pathetic to behold but also heroic in a way.

If florid, image-based tattoos are now so familiar as to seem rather obvious, verbal inscriptons are full of provocative potential. They also allow the wearer to make a statement through choice of typeface, moving tattoos away from the concerns of the tattoo artist and toward the established territory of graphic design. A few months ago, New York writer Shelley Jackson, author of a story collection, The Melancholy of Anatomy, invited members of the public to participate in a new work titled “Skin.” Jackson’s idea is to inscribe each of the story’s 2095 words somewhere on the body of a complete stranger. If the word comes with a piece of punctuation attached, then that’s also tattooed.
Jackson, a former art student, exerts just the right degree of typographic control. “Tattoos must be in black ink and a classic book font,” she stipulates. “Words in fanciful fonts will be expunged from the work.” As examples of acceptable typefaces, she suggests Caslon, Garamond, Bodoni, and Times Roman. Courier is permissible and so are bookish sans serifs such as Futura or Gill Sans. Your tattoo should look like something to be read, not admired for its decorative qualities,” she advises. She herself has the title, “Skin,” tattooed in Baskerville on her wrist. On the Internet, I found a photograph of the word “swelling”-apt, you might think-newly etched on a participant’s ankle. The impact of the mysterious single word, with its imposingly sharp serifs, was quite different from a regular tattoo’s.
“Skin” goes much further. It exists in intelligible though enigmatic fragments as a tantalizing idea rather than as a reading experience. In that sense, it seems closer to conceptual art than to literature. By agreeing to carry a mark on your body, you are granted access to the mystery; you become a cult member, an initiate. Jackson swears she will attend the funeral of any words she outlives. The “Skin” cult is for life, and her work will gradually disappear with its guardians.
You become a cult member...for life!

To Uganda With Love
By Shannon LowePhotography By Compassion Bloggers
Last February, Compassion invited 15 bloggers to Uganda. They fought bats and mosquitoes, spotted lions, played with Compassion-assisted children, and wrote in their blogs about every incredible moment. Here are blog excerpts from Shannon Lowe, a stay-at-home mom who went on the trip and meet Dissan, her sponsored child.
Compassion Magazine p. 13
Uganda With Love SpreadEditorial DesignCompassion Magazine
His name is Mukanga Dissan. He’s 9 years old, almost exactly three months older than my second-born child.
We have Dissan’s photograph stuck to our fridge along with all the photos of our own kids — it fights for space with the grocery list and spelling words.
In the photo Dissan looks very healthy and robust. He stands with fine posture, his stained shirt buttoned neatly to the top.
His left hand appears to be nervously fidgeting with the hem of his shirt. He’s barefoot.
I met Dissan in Kampala, Uganda, at a well-known Chinese food restaurant (yes, I came to Africa to eat Chinese food).
Dissan looked a little nervous, until I approached him. He saw the soccer ball I was carrying for him and his face broke into a smile so big it could light up this hemisphere.
He couldn’t bring himself to put down the soccer ball for the first 30 minutes. We sat down to eat and his eyes were as wide as saucers. This was not only his first visit to the city, it was also his first time to eat at a restaurant.
We began to go through the backpack full of goodies I brought from home. His eyes nearly came out of his head.
He couldn’t believe the clothes (they were a perfect fit), and his mouth hung open at the $1 solar-powered calculator.
He must have said “thank you” to me a thousand times. The Com passion worker from his child development center in the village made the four-hour drive with him to meet me and served as ourinterpreter.
She and Dissan together told me his story. He lives in a village, in a mud hut. Both his parents died last year, and the relative he was sent to live with is very sick.
So is his 6-year-old brother (Dissan is healthy). Because it had rained so much in Uganda the previous few months, the front wall of their hut had washed away.
This boy, this precious boy with the golden smile, does not have parents.He does not even have four walls. Parting was terribly hard, especially now that I’ve seen mud huts in the villages and I know what he’s returning to. The interpreter helped me tell him that I love him and that my family prays for him every night.
He told me that he’s praying for us too. Imagine. I promised him we would continue to sponsor him through Compassion as long as he needs us, until he’s an adult.
I gave him a long momma hug, which he eagerly returned. I whispered in his ear the blessing I say over my own kids before they get on the bus each morning:May the Lord bless you and keep you, may He make His face to shine upon you, may He be gracious unto you and grant you His peace.
And when he was gone, I hid my face in my friend’s shoulder and wept.
When you sponsor a Compassion child, it is not a “symbolic” sponsorship. Your money is not going into some generic slush fund and doled out to a random group of children.
There is only one Dissan — and he is ours.
