Not so permanent tattoos
Inkbox is the name of the company two Toronto brothers founded for lovers of tattoos, but for those who love the art and the experience but don’t want to commit.
Established in 2015 by Tyler and Braden Handley, the duo has just secured $10 million US in venture capital to expand their Toronto company which makes and sells tattoos that last only up to 18 days.

Canadian scientists discovered ancient and fragile coral forests and potentially new species during an expedition to explore deep-sea mountains off the coast of British Columbia.
Now they say these “spectacular” sea wonders should be permanently protected.
The expedition team included four groups, with members from the Haida Nation, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Oceana Canada, and Ocean Networks Canada.
They set sail earlier this month to explore seamounts (underwater mountains) near the islands of Haida Gwaii in the northeast Pacific Ocean.
