This is the oldest tattoo shop in the world

From generation to generation... 10/8/19 The Oldest Tattooing Family in the World Wasim Razzouk is a tattoo artist in Jerusalem's Old City. Ink runs deep in his family. The Razzouks have been tattooing visitors to the Holy Land for 500 years (and in Egypt for 200 years before that). Christian pilgrims flock to Razzouk Tattoo to get a cross tattoo based on one of the designs on wooden stamps that have been in the Razzouk family for generations. Razzouk is honored to be entrusted to leave such a special mark on someone's skin. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis. Serving Memelas in Oaxaca for 33 Years Love at first bite⁠. Karen sees it happen every time someone eats a memela from her stand in downtown Oaxaca. A memela is like a corn tortilla, but a little thicker. Karen and her family spread fried pork fat and bean paste on their memelas and top them with cheese and salsa. And the salsa? It's her grandma's secret recipe, and it gives the memelas served at Memelitas Doña Mary a spicy kick. This Scientist's Work Might Be the Future of Energy-Efficient Vehicles Able to tweak the properties of metals with the power of science, he's Metals Man! Actually, he's Suveen Mathaudhu, a scientist and professor specializing in mechanical engineering and materials science. He doesn't consider himself a superhero, but he does love comic books. So much so that his work at UC Riverside is inspired by superheroes like Wonder Woman, Iron Man and Wolverine. We join Mathaudhu in the lab where he is working to create lighter, stronger metals that can replace the heavier ones used to build cars and airplanes, making vehicles more energy and fuel efficient.
