Once known as Falcon Island, it has spent more than a century appearing, vanishing, and returning again. Just 56 feet beneath the surface lies the volcano that gives the island its fleeting life. First recorded in 1867, it disappeared before later sailors could find it. It rose again in 1885, only to be reclaimed by the sea by 1894. It returned from 1927 to 1949, emerged once more in 1970, and has since eroded away. Fonuafoʻou is never truly gone. The island is so special, because of this fleeting nature, as not many islands in the world are this flighty. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach return is precious because it, too, will be washed away.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis tattoo lasts 4-5 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Citrine Temporary Tattoos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44085209956430,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/7515\/8094\/files\/Falcon_Island_MockUp.png?v=1785131936"},{"product_id":"sagittarius-a","title":"Sagittarius A*","description":"\u003cp\u003eSagittarius A* Temporary Tattoo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is an object at the center of our galaxy that no one has ever seen. \u003cem\u003eSagittarius A*\u003c\/em\u003e is a supermassive black hole only known because of the stars orbiting around it.

Instead, you find the constellation Sagittarius, follow the curve of its bow, and arrive at a place where nothing appears exist. Yet the stars tell a different story.

It was grown only around the North African city of Cyrene, making it exceptionally rare. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe plant's most prized product was its fragrant resin, known as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003elaserpicium\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Ancient physicians prescribed it for ailments ranging from sore throats to hernias. It also seasoned food, scented perfumes, and was prized in ancient medicine. Some sources attribute far more remarkable qualities to the plant, suggesting it served as both an aphrodisiac and a contraceptive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Some historians speculate that its heart-shaped seed inspired the modern heart symbol. However, its rarity could not preserve it, as this ancient beauty is recorded going extinct in antiquity. By the time of Pliny the Elder, a respected Roman author, the plant was already scarce. He wrote, “Within the memory of the present generation, a single stalk is all that has ever been found there, and that was sent as a curiosity to the Emperor Nero.” All that remains of this plant are passages in ancient books, gold coins stamped with its likeness, and the memory of something the world could not keep.
