Woman Frames Husband's Tattooed Skin After His Death to Preserve His Memory. She Was 'Shocked' by the Result (Exclusive)
'When we want to know he's here, we can hold the frame, and it does so much more than a picture,' Angelica Radevski tells PEOPLENEED TO KNOW Angelica Radevski, a 35-year-old nurse, decided to frame the skin of her husband's tattoo after he suddenly died earlier this year She tells PEOPLE that she learned about the option when she was a kid, and it always 'stuck with' her 'When we want to know he's here, we can hold the frame, and it does so much more than a picture,' says RadevskiAs Angelica Radevski remembers her late husband, she doesn't hesitate to mention his love of sports. 'It was constantly ESPN on the radio or the TV,' she tells PEOPLE. And his favorite team to follow was the Pittsburgh Steelers. Radevski, a 35-year-old nurse from Wheeling, and her husband had been close friends their entire lives — she had actually worked for his dad at a local restaurant for a decade. Together, the couple raised a son, now 10 years old, and they tied the knot in 2021. 'He was just the type of person where if you met him, even just one time at the grocery store or the gym, he left an impression of being such a loving, happy person,' says Radevski. Her husband was also covered in tattoos — 'from his neck all the way down to his feet,' says Radevski. 'Every tattoo that he had was a piece of his life. It was like therapy. It was his healing.' So when her husband died unexpectedly at age 55 earlier this year, Radevski continues, it only felt natural to frame one of his tattoos for his memory to continue to live alongside her and their son in their home. Radevski says she was a kid when she first learned from Ripley's Believe It or Not! about the Ohio-based company, Save My Ink Forever, which allows loved ones to preserve the skin of a tattoo in a frame after their death. 'I never questioned why it stuck with me,' says Radevski. While they were married, she brought up the idea of framing a tattoo to her husband several times, and 'he thought it was really cool,' she adds. After her husband's funeral, Radevski had the chance to use a marker to outline the tattoo they wanted to frame — a Steelers helmet on his right arm from his first sleeve, which their son Preston remembered was his favorite. Then the mortician removed the skin, placed it in a preservation kit, and mailed it to Save My Ink Forever, before her husband's body was cremated. After roughly 90 days, the company reached out to Radevski: they were ready 'to bring him home,' she says. 'When he handed it to us, I was shocked,' she recalls. 'And it was a good shock — so many things you didn't know you were missing instantly felt better.' And when she and her son took a closer look at the Steelers tattoo, preserved behind the glass of a dark wooden frame, Preston noticed that you could even make out his original hair on the skin. 'Then I was laughing,' continues Radevski. 'With his tattoos, my husband would shave his arms and legs — and you could see the spots that he missed. It took it to a different level. It was like, 'OK, he's really home.' ' In the wake of her husband's death, Radevski decided to share her process of grieving on TikTok — because she knew that if she was feeling alone, she tells PEOPLE, there were others who were going through the same thing. She adds that, because her husband didn't have life insurance, her family was hit by an extreme financial burden, and she wanted to use her platform to spread awareness about the need for planning in the case of tragedies like hers. 'Instead of planning for a wedding for a year, why don't we start planning and making it normal and not so ugly to talk about death,' says Radevski. 'You can be prepared — both financially and with what you want for your body.' When she received her husband's framed tattoo, she shared it with her followers — and the video took off, garnering nearly 30 million views. Like any reaction to a viral post, some of the comments were negative: likening her to Jeffrey Dahmer or calling the process mutilation, says Radevski. But those were 'outweighed' by the love she received from others who felt lucky to learn that this was an option, she explains.

'Some were like, 'I wish I had known about this — I just lost my husband and my son,' ' says Radevski. And the comments that warmed her heart the most, she continues, were the ones from rival sports fans who sent their condolences but still couldn't get on board with rooting for the Steelers: 'When they say, 'I'm so sorry for you and your son and I'm praying for you, but go Bengals,' ' she points out of some of the comments. Though she recognizes that framing a tattoo might not be for everyone, Radevski says she hopes her videos can help normalize the process for those who might get a similar kind of solace after losing a loved one. 'Just because it's not what you want, you don't have to make me feel bad about it,' says Radevski. 'We feel him here a lot, spiritually and energetically,' she continues. 'But this is that piece that we really, really needed. When we want to know he's here, we can hold the frame, and it does so much more than a picture.' Read the original article on People

‘Mecha Break' Will Finally Launch At The Start Of July
It's taken a while, but after various early access betas, Mecha Break will finally launch this July. As with all early access releases, the initial response to Mecha Break was pretty mixed. From network issues to other problems, fans complained, and it seems that those complaints were listened to and seemingly acted upon. That's the point, really. The whole purpose of releasing your game early, especially a multiplayer one, is to find out what the issues are going to be before launch and then fix them. Obviously, you can get pretty far on your own, figuring out the main issues before releasing a game to the public, but early access releases will always help a multiplayer game find its feet eventually. After all, this is a high-speed mecha shooting game, and that's a tough thing to get right, especially as games are already an abstract ruleset in and of themselves. Adding mecha to that, which are also an abstracted ruleset of their own in terms of functionality, doesn't just double the complexity of the game's design, it squares it. In this instance, Mecha Break is also a high-speed and quite aerial mecha game, and that's a lot to balance out before release. Thankfully, the game is using proper Japanese mecha designers for the game's mecha, although they have been stylized somewhat. In any case, Mecha Break is now almost here, and I am very curious to see how it does. The mecha styling and high-speed gameplay make me think this will find its market mostly in Asia, but I hope Western gamers give it a chance, too. Mecha Break will be released for PC, via Steam, and Xbox Series X|S on July 1. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube. I also manage Mecha Damashii and am currently featured in the Giant Robots exhibition currently touring Japan.

Caitlin Clark hopeful trip to Carver can become regular WNBA stop
A week ago, Caitlin Clark led the Fever against the Brazil National Team from inside Carver where a sellout crowd watched Clark score 16 points and knock down four 3-pointers. That included one long range shot from beyond the logo on the Carver floor that commemorates where she set the new NCAA Division I scoring mark from. Clark and the Fever topped the Brazilian National Team, 108-44, in front of nearly 15,000 spectators. Advertisement The 6-foot guard is hopeful that she and the Indiana Fever can make Carver-Hawkeye Arena a regular stop in the future. "Yeah, I mean, I would love to be able to come back here every year," Clark said. "I don't know if that's gonna happen or not, but, I'm just really, really thankful for W and for the Fever organization wanting to play this game here. And obviously the Brazilian national team had to agree to do it too, so you got to give them credit as well. I think it's really good for our fans that might not have a chance to go see us play in the W at a certain city. The closest one to here is probably Chicago, and that's still three hours, or Minnesota. "Not everybody has that ability to get to a city like that, so I think it gives them a great opportunity to come cheer for us and also see a team they probably watched on TV quite a few times. I told my teammates, you know, they're going to be here cheering for me, yes, but they're also going to be here cheering for you and our entire team. I think that's what's so great about these fans is they really rally around the entire team. It's not just myself and that's what I love about them," Clark said after the preseason contest in Iowa City. It seems like a no-brainer that the WNBA would want to continue bringing Clark and the Fever to Iowa City. Maybe the WNBA and Fever franchise can work out the details on playing a regular season game from inside Carver. That would be next level.
