Alaska-themed Tattoos

Location: Our home in Anchorage, 01-29-2011 This photo was taken when our baby Jameson (who was born 16 days late on his Daddy's birthday, Jan 24) was 5 days old. The arm on the left is mine, and the arm on the right is my Husband, Aaron. We have matching arm bands that are the same design as our wedding rings, which are Alaska Soul Catcher design by Alaskan Jewelry maker Jerry Hill,  which we got from the Rusty Harpoon here in Anchorage. The Arm bands were done by Jake at Body Piercing Unlimited here in Anchorage, who did a great job with the tribal design and replicating the design on the ring.

A collection of Alaska-themed tattoos pulled from our reader-submitted tattoo gallery.

Bears

Erin Leighton / Alaska Wildlife Conservation CenterTwo Kodiak bears at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center romp in the snow Tuesday, February 21, 2012. The warmer temperatures have them out and about, and the other 3 bears have been seen more these days as well. The two bears pictured are Taquoka (darker bear)  and Shaguyik, both rescued from Kodiak Island over a year ago. The cubs are set to be transferred to a facility similar to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Sweden. This transfer will take place in June. The Center's operations have been hampered by the massive amounts of snow, but we are planning on opening this weekend for the first time in weeks.

There have been many bear sightings in recent days along the bike trail in the area and the campground at Bird. Chugach State Park officials closed part of a popular bike trail in the area earlier last week due to the bears activities.
