Some scientists believe cross-protective immunity (or absence thereof) to be the reason why 75% of COVID-19 case fatalities occurred in the West -- and only 9% in Asia. Looks like someone has found our Achilles heel.
Or it is due to the piss poor reaction of the western world when it came to the virus, which in itself was mostly caused due to an unwillingness of locking down in the first place.
While the West locks itself down into economic collapse, China is preparing to take over Taiwan. And why wouldn't they? With the West both outgunned and outsmarted, the timing could not be better.
They're testing response times. That's a pretty normal thing to do and does not mean that an attack is imminent. Since the Taiwanese ADIZ covers part of mainland China, ADIZ violations should be expected.
Also the West is outgunned and outsmarted by China? Hardly. China's biggest economic partners are the EU and the US, it can't afford to break with them, not even over Taiwan.
It's also why the US "sort of" recognizes Taiwan. We treat them as a separate entity, even if we don't officially support their independence. This obviously displeases China, but there's not a lot they can do about it.

Oh. I missed this. Thank you, dearest.
Honestly, photoshopping tattoos is pretty tough, but I'm trying.

Blending mode to Multiply, around 60-80% opacity. I think that's how I made this.
Either that or I used multiple layers of the vector image with different blending modes. I'll have to see if I still have the PSD file for it.
Edit: Found it. It was two layers. First is set to Overlay at 80% opacity, the next is Soft Light set to 64% opacity. I also duplicated the layer with my arm in it, made it black and white, adjusted the levels a bit then set that layer to Hard Light at 80%. That was used to bring out the skin texture a little bit more.

I had my opacity at 87%. Never thought about using different blending modes with my layers, but I'll definitely give it a look and dial back the opacity if the blending works.. Thanks for the tips, LP!
