It's Stupid Tattoo Day @spiritgallerytattoo! Get a tattoo the size of a size dollar or smaller for only $40 (normally $60). @george_g_wilkinson hooked me up with this today. It's also the first day that James S. Potter is attending Hogwarts, so it's only fitting :) The Harry Potter obsession is real people!! #harrypottertattoo #harrypotter #potthead #tattoosofinstagram (at Spirit Gallery Tattoo)

African elephants are being murdered for their tusks in record numbers. Thankfully, the Obama administration just proposed a ban on ivory sales in the U.S. Voice your support for it today: http://bit.ly/1JWn2vt ‪#‎BeHerd‬ #JointheSTAMPede #Elphie #WorldElephantDay @96elephants
