inked-spots/mark-mahoneys-shamrock-social-slub “People come by the store all the time just to play pool,” laughs Shamrock manager Cody McCarthy. “That’s why it’s called the ‘Social Club.’” While the shop has famously tattooed celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Bruce Willis, its real claim is being the place to go for black and gray work. “When you talk about black and gray ......
blog/lindsay-lohan-gets-billy-joels-words-tattooed Earlier this week, Lindsay Lohan visited Mark Mahoney's famed Shamrock Social Club in LA to add to her growing collection of tattoos.

blog/f-love Inked's own June cover girl just got some fresh ink that unfortunately was too late to use in our photo shoot. Avril and reality TV star Brody Jenner walked in to Mark Mahoney’s Shamrock Social Club tattoo parlor in Hollywood to get their matching ink done. The tattoo they shared together? The word "FUCK" tattooed on their ribs ......

inked-people/bradley-farrell "It's scary." That's how Bradley Farrell, filmmaker, tattoo artist, and CEO of the social networking site eCirkit, describes what it's like to drive his matte black Ferrari 360 Modena on the track. "Even if you drive really well on the road, it's a totally different feel on the track, especially when you're throwing around a ......
inked-people/chris-santos By 3 p.m. on Saturday afternoon in Stanton Social’s kitchen on New York City’s Lower East Side, there’s a muted roar of polyglot jabber punctuated with the staccato clang of pots and pans. The restaurant’s team of chefs and line cooks are readying themselves for the onslaught ahead: 3,000 plates will be passed through ......
music/polar-bear-club Polar Bear Club’s debut album made best-of lists everywhere, but it takes until nearly the end of this follow-up for them to prove why. Not that Chasing Hamburg isn’t brilliant—it’s just that “One Hit Back,” a post-hardcore punch to haters everywhere, is so fist-pumping good that its shadow looms over the rest of the songs. “Living ......
inked-spots/club-tattoo Battle your way through the swirling mosh pit at one of Linkin Park’s sold- out arena shows and there’s a good chance you’ll find at least a few die- hard fans sporting forearm flame tattoos as a tribute to the band’s frontman, Chester Bennington. Just don’t bet that those fans had their derivative ink laid ......
inked-spots/diamond-club Run by Bill Salmon with Juni, his wife of 20 years, Diamond Club is anything but your average mom-and-pop shop. Both Salmons have spent their whole lives tattooing, mostly as a team. “Working with my wife everyday is fun stuff,” says Bill. “It’s a good time everyday.” Before opening its doors to the public just a few years ago ......

blog/secret-society-bingo The rules here are simple: there are no rules. Actually, these are the rules: “No boring people. No old people. No wankers.” What this all actually means for you is that after buying advance tickets, you’ll receive an email directing you to a secret warehouse, where you’ll be handed a bingo card, skepticism fully intact.
Introducing The Underground ......

music/walter-schreifels Walter Schreifels is probably best known as a member of acts such as Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, and Rival Schools, but his first release under his own name shows that when the distortion is stripped away, Schreifels truly shines. An Open Letter to the Scene features everything from folk-inspired rockers (“She Is to Me”) and jangly tracks reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub ......
blog/get-noticed This past Monday, we celebrated two years of Inked. The bash was held at one of New York's hottest nightclubs, Avenue. The liquor, provided by Jack Daniels, was flowing freely all night. Guests partied as only the Inked crowd could party. Guests included actor Adrien Brody, Logan Neitzel and Stella Zotis of Project Runway, as well as other models ......
music/q-tip Legendary MC Q-Tip can do whatever the hell he wants. After revolutionizing hip-hop with A Tribe Called Quest and paving the way for Kanye, Tip is more experimental than ever these days. On this album, delayed since 2001 and remixed for release, the lyrical master sounds more like Curtis Mayfield than a mic-rockin’ MC. He weaves his trademark flow through ......
inked-people/carolyn-spence Hollywood hideaway Chateau Marmont, with its cadre of celebutantes, fringed lanterns, and butterfly-festooned decor, has always been known more for its trysts and tragedies than its food. But with the installation of executive chef Carolyn Spence, former chef de cuisine at New York City's Spotted Pig, both Chateau and Bar Marmont are finally building some culinary cred. “It's ......
inked-people/built-last New York City hardcore could never have been born anywhere else. The music was built in the city, for the city. It came stripped-down, muscled-up, and overloaded with all of the frantic energy and violence of the streets. It was designed to intimidate. The musicians were homeless, AWOL, and just plain crazy street kids who felt fed up with the ......
inked-people/margaret-cho Nothing about Margaret Cho made it look like she had a chance in hell in Hollywood. Chubby, Korean, and bisexual (she admits to all three) in a business that typically has a hard time swallowing that list, Cho’s rank as one of the biggest female comedians on the planet is the result of a one-woman battle, built from her ......
inked-people/pitbull The other side of Miamy lurks right behind the sandy shores and sweaty nightclubs of South Beach. From the proud Cuban communities like Little Havana to the mean streets of Liberty City, the city has another side that isn’t all sunshine and martinis. Like his hometown, there’s another side to Pitbull. Somewhere behind the bling and club bangers ......
