To use QR codes on your business cards and other things, you'll need a couple of tools. 1st, you need to install a QR scanner app on your phone. Search the net for "QR Reader" and the model of your smart phone to find a scanner app; they're available for the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Nokia, BlackBerry, and other app-based phones with a camera.This free QR icon machine can embed a URL, text, a phone number, or an addressed and ready-to-send SMS message into a QR code.
Warning: When you're generating a QR code: the more data you cram into your code, the smaller its pixels will be, and the more sensitive the scanners will have to be to read it accurately. Second, if you're encoding a URL, make sure it's a site that will load well on a mobile phone browser.

A tattoo is a very personal thing. Often we get them to feel connected to another person such as a lover or a family member or to associate ourselves with a cause, either that we are involved with or for which we feel an emotional or philosophical attraction. When you have an image become a permanent part of your body, in an emotional and spiritual sense, that image becomes part of you and stays by your side at all times.
For many of us whether we are religious or not, we feel the draw to the spiritual world and a desire for a greater communication with that world. One image that seems to rise above any one religion that is a common "conduit" for that communication is the angel. That is why angels pop up in movies and become important parts of people's spiritual lives who may not have a direct connection to one religion.
You may have already noticed how peaceful it is having a figure or picture of an angel around at home or at work. From the teaching we get about angels, their jobs are to help people get connected to the spiritual world and the living things in that world, one of which is sometimes called "God". But angels have lots of jobs including being "guardian angels" over babies and maybe over us when we are in trouble or while we sleep.
So by using the image of an angel as one of your tattoos, you are taking that spiritual connection to the next level. Even if the angel you use in your tattoo image is not one specific angel that has a name, that spiritual being opens up your spiritual life and becomes part of that inner part of you called your "soul" that only you understand and can navigate.
But an angel tattoo can do more than just be a reminder of the presence of angels nearby when you need to know that. It can also be a reminder of your desire to be more spiritual and to think about big "religious" ideas and about the situation with your soul and your eternal well being. We all have good intentions to be more responsible about this side of life but life has a tendency to steal our time. But if your angel tattoo is on your arm or wrist or somewhere visible to you, she can gently remind you to take time for your soul and always be there to serve as that reminder that this part of you is important.
The universal hunger for answers to spiritual questions may be one reason angel tattoos are quite popular. When you start looking for the angel tattoo pattern that fits your feeling about these spiritual creatures, the variety is large. You can find sweet peaceful angels, strong powerful archangels and even warrior angels who can live in that tattoo and defend your soul against spiritual evil.
Another reason people select an angel design for a tattoo is to create a connection to a loved one who may already be in that spiritual world. Your angel can serve as a connection between this world and the next and between you and that loved one. And while you will not be able to communication with him or her like you used to, just the comforting presence of that angel "on your shoulder" is a reminder that one day you will see that loved one again when you cross over to the next life too.
People get tattoos for a lot of reasons including to have fun or just to look cool. And you can let your angel tattoo do double duty and not only give you can spiritual comfort but be a really good looking tat along the way. It will be a great conversation starter because it will help you find others who seek a spiritual life too. And if the angel brings us together as people and brings you closer to spiritual peace too, that's a pretty good outcome of getting a tattoo of an angel.
