British locals have been flooding into tattoo parlors to get bee tattoos in the after math of Monday’s deadly terrorist attack at a Manchester, England Ariana Grande concert.
The worker bee has long been Manchester’s sigil of sorts, a symbol of the city’s working class history during the Industrial Revolution.
During the 1800s, bee-like locals, known as Mancunians, spent their lives weaving cotton in Manchester textile mills, which were described as “hives of activity.”
The worker bee is also featured prominently on the crest of the city’s coat of arms as a symbol of Mancunians’ industriousness, according to BBC.
The bee symbol is featured prominently in Manchester.
Since Monday’s bombing, tattoo parlors have been offering discounts bee tattoos to raise money for charities benefitting terror attack victims.
The demand has been un-bee-lievable.
