    That’s really cool, like a guardian watching your back!

    I love the ear also, I don’t like jewellery so as an alternative to earings it’s a good idea

      Thank you! I’ve wanted the ear one as soon as I saw that it was an option a few years ago. It’s so delicate, totally a replacement for jewelry!

      The shading was a bit painful, especially over the vertebrae, but I’m super happy with the result.

    With that post title, ickplant did you actually get a tattoo? Or maybe just accidentally misleading title?

        Did the ear part hurt more, compared to the neck?

        I also have 2: same place on the neck as you and on my arm ( where the vaccine goes).

        Both times i almost fainted ( heh ), but the neck was a little worse.

          The neck was worse, especially over the vertebra. The ear barely hurt, not at all on the top cartilage and just a bit inside the ear.

            I would have expected the opposite, even if it makes sense that it hurts less.

Bats are cool

Bats are the only true flying mammals. There are over 1,400 species of bats, and they can be found on nearly every part of the planet. Not only are they cute, they are also important…

Studying how bats use echolocation has helped scientists develop navigational aids for the blind. Without bats’ pollination, seed dispersal, and pest control we wouldn’t have bananas, avocados, mangoes, agave, or cacao… that’s right, bats bring us tequila and chocolate!

Found a bat in need of help?

  • Do not handle it with bare hands! Bats can carry rabies.

  • Here’s a map of worldwide rescues and temporary care instructions.

  • Bats should never be kept as pets: Here’s why.

Celebrate bats with us!

Our community’s mascot is Baxter. Baxter is an Egyptian fruit bat that was cruelly kept alone and confined to a small cage for 12 years before being rescued by a bat sanctuary. You can read the full story by clicking on his name.

Our rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

  • Be respectful and inclusive

Everyone should feel welcome here. Hateful or bigoted language will not be tolerated.

  • No illegal or NSFW or NSFL content

Don’t post anything a fruit bat would not approve of.

  • No bat hate

Please don’t hate on bats in this community (this includes all of your edgy covid humor).

  • No advertisement or spam

Bats don’t like spam.
