A quick definition of gravamen:

Gravamen: The most important part of a legal problem or argument is called the gravamen. It's like the main idea or the heart of the matter. For example, if someone sues a company for making a bad product, the gravamen of the case is whether the product was really bad or not. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what the gravamen is, especially in cases where there are many different issues to consider. But it's important to know what the gravamen is because it helps lawyers and judges focus on what really matters.

A more thorough explanation:

Gravamen is the main part of a legal dispute or claim. It is the essential element that the case revolves around.

For example, if someone sues a company for a defective product, the gravamen of the case is whether the company made a defective product that caused harm. Even though there may be other issues involved, such as the extent of the damage or the amount of compensation, the gravamen is the central issue that the case is based on.

Another example is a case involving the sale of goods and services. If there is a dispute over whether a contract is for goods or services, the gravamen of the case is determining which category the contract falls under. This is important because the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs the sale of goods but not services.

The gravamen is important because it helps to focus the case and determine what evidence and arguments are relevant. It also helps to simplify complex cases by identifying the main issue that needs to be resolved.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer

@snow: healing is super easy it takes like a week to get through the bad part but being in the sun or going in water is a no no so if you get it in the summer that is two weeks at least of no summer fun while winter it doesnt matter
