It's all about skin.

Life, love, pain, pleasure. You tan it, kiss it, wrinkle it, cover it up — or uncover it. It's with you from birth to death and it's your largest, and arguably most important, organ. And it's our business.

Technically, we're part of a two-hundred and fifty billion dollar worldwide skin care industry. But we'd rather focus on what we do: body art, aesthetics, cosmetics and therapeutics. At Freedom2, we've got you covered, whether it's with a tattoo — Infinitink means they're permanent and removable — or shielding you from the sun — using NBlock, which features the best ingredient for blocking UVA and UVB rays.

Our patented and patent-pending Particle Encapsulation and Enhancement (P2E) Platform is what makes it all work — and that's almost as sexy as skin itself. By allowing encapsulation and enhancement of dyes, pigments and active pharmaceuticals, we can apply products to the skin, through the skin or under the skin. It's effective and easy. In some cases, it'll even make you look ten years younger: If that's what you're after — try our skin filler, Clear.

Freedom2's research scientists and market specialists are at work refining and preparing new products. Including both direct and collaborative market opportunities, our annual product pipeline is projected to bring in excess of $1 billion in annual revenues.

And we're just getting started.



Particle Encapsulation and Enhancement (P2E) Platform

From inks to wrinkle fillers, it starts with science. What, your high school chemistry class didn't cover tattoos?

Our Particle Encapsulation and Enhancement (P2E) platform is patented and patent pending, and it's serious technology. Think about it this way, there are beads of all shapes and sizes, and those beads can sit safely on or under the skin. They're made of materials that are either erodible, biodegradable, or non-erodible. What's inside and what is delivered - includes enhanced pigments, dyes, pharmaceuticals that are modified to be safe and effective — can change the way you think about treatments for yourself and your skin.

The scalable P2E platform utilizes multiple and adaptable forms of encapsulation and chemical modification. Freedom2 has developed pilot scale processes (up to 100 gram/batch) and is rapidly developing (under ISO 9001:2000 controls) commercial scale capabilities.

And just in case you're wondering, we own or license broad patent and patent pending coverage, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks on our P2E platform and its related discoveries and inventions. It's all ours, hands off.

Johnny Jackson designed the TWISM tattoo on Shaq

In the 90's after the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic Shaq was sitting at Shaws tattoo getting his custom tattoo TWISM,designed by Johnny Jackson at Texas Body Art now in his own studio.
I ran across this blog and thought ,The twism is when he lost the title and it was his way of rising up which moved him on to the Lakers stellar dynasty.
This tattoo was drawn on the spot as requested.It now represents his clothing line.
Yo Shaq Hit me up let me get down on you some more!!!



Here is the blog...



“TWISM” reads the tattoo on his arm. “The World Is Mine,” and all that is in it. Finally playing up to his awesome potential, surrounded by a stellar supporting cast and led by perhaps the greatest NBA coach alive, Shaquille O’Neal has matured far beyond the awkward braggadocio that marked both his bicep and his youth. He is quieter, more controlled and the reigning king of the NBA. Gone are the contrived movie roles and rap star doggerel. Shaq Daddy is focused and all about basketball. His Lakers are the undisputed favorites heading into the playoffs, and his own numbers have pushed him past the mercurial Allen Iverson for the league scoring title. Comparisons to Wilt and Kareem are on the rise. He’s even making his free throws! Who is this giant of a man who does everything in such a big way?

Shaquille Rashaun O’Neal was born on March 6, 1972, in Newark, New Jersey. Astrologer Cynthia Withers quotes his mother, Lucille Harrison, for a birthtime of “around 8:00 am.” This means that Shaq is a Pisces with either late Aries or Taurus on the Ascendant. The Ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, and it shows the physical appearance and personality. Because Shaq has such a solid physique and ponderous personality, I prefer the Taurus Ascendant, but that could be mere speculation on my part. However, there is no doubt that Shaq is a Pisces.

A Typical Pisces?

Any astrology book will give you the goods on the typical Pisces. They’re sensitive and mystical, downtrodden dreamers. Shy and intuitive, they need shelter from the cruel world, seeking solace in art or selfless service to others, like Jackie Joyner Kersee, Julius Erving, Pete Rozelle, Charles Barkley...hey, wait a minute! Charles Barkley is a Pisces? I have yet to find an astrology book that describes Pisceans as great athletes, millionaires and business tycoons, but if you check the facts, that is a little closer to the truth. The Orlando Sentinel quoted a survey done several years ago that found more millionaires had Sun in Pisces than any other sign! So what gives? Will the real Pisces please stand up, or remain harder to pin down than ever?

How quickly we forget that before the discovery of the planet Neptune, Pisces was ruled by, or associated with, the planet Jupiter, the same planet that rules Sagittarius. Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is athletic, expansive, given to excess and great good fortune. Sagittarians born under Jupiter’s rulership are expected to be the same. Neptune, the poetic, long-suffering and other-worldly planet, was assigned to Pisces, but apparently somebody forgot to tell the Pisceans. While many do exhibit unmistakably Neptunian traits, ranging from inspired artistry to drug addiction, many others are outrageously successful, rich and athletic. Shaquille O’Neal, for instance.

The duality of Pisces is a double mystery, wrapped in an enigma: two fish, tied together, swimming round and round, fighting over who gets to be on the bottom. If questions over the sign’s rulership leave us feeling confused, the Pisceans would probably prefer it that way. Every Pisces is different, and a close check of their birth charts should reveal which ruler, Neptune or Jupiter, is more influential. In the case of Shaquille O’Neal, it’s definitely Jupiter.

Bigger is Better

Everything about Shaq is larger than life, starting with his seven foot, 315-pound frame. If he does indeed have the sign Taurus rising, then his Taurus Ascendant makes a very fortunate, flowing trine angle (120 degrees) to his natal Jupiter in Capricorn. Jupiter tends to expand whatever it touches, and this aspect to the Ascendant links that expansion to his physical body. Jupiter in Capricorn expresses the more materialistic, ambitious side of Jupiter, the “TWISM,” as it were. Shaq, the Pisces, is no philosopher. Even his forays into the more traditional Piscean fields of acting, music and poetry were marked less by artistic inspiration than by a drive to be rich and famous.

Without limits, the mutable Pisces swims aimlessly in search of the unattainable. Shaq has been fortunate to find two Virgo partners, Phil Jackson and Kobe Bryant, who provide the counterbalance to his Piscean susceptibilities, helping him to narrow his sights and focus on more immediate goals. He may never be a great actor or poet, but he can be a great basketball player and the Lakers can win a championship. Jackson may be just the antidote to Shaq’s perrenial championship choke, the mentor and mortar that holds the bricks together!
