article/who-kreayshawn This girl came out of nowhere, via Oakland, to dominate the earbuds of the hip this summer with the single “Gucci Gucci.” And off the back of just that song, she signed a record deal with Sony (reportedly worth $1 million) to put out her first album. Now she’s famous, yet still an enigma, so we asked her to ......
blog/no-tattoos-nfl-star-cam-newton In a recent interview with Charlie Rose of PBS, No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton said that Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson asked him to stay clear of tattoos and piercings.

blog/half-half Though Lady Gaga may have an artisticly rebellious side to her, she's still her father's little girl at heart. "All of my tattoos are on one side of my body, per my father's request," she explained. "He asked that I remain, on one side, slightly normal, so I only have tattoos on my life side."
She added ......
games/dantes-inferno Talk about a loose adaptation. In the classic poem The Divine Comedy, a timid poet reluctantly journeys through the nine circles of hell, while the video game version features Dante, a revenge-driven mercenary more interested in killing monsters than chronicling their suffering. Armed with a scythe he stole from Death and a holy cross, Dante fights his way through each ......

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/keone-nunes Don’t even think about asking Keone Nunes to tattoo a dagger or dolphin on you. “All I do is Hawaiian tattoos, designs inked for various cultural reasons,” says Nunes. These designs (bold, geometric shapes) have names, meanings, prayers and can reflect the genealogy of the individual. Nunes, who has been tattooing since 1990, works nontraditionally—he has no shop ......
inked-spots/blackheart-tattoo When you ask Blackheart owner Scott Sylvia what sets his studio apart from the sea of shops in the Bay Area, you are likely to hear words like “established” and “tradition” somewhere in his response. And, “We don’t suck,” he says seriously. “There are only a handful of good shops left in the area,” Sylvia says with a combination ......

inked-people/ted-nemeth "Shit, where am I?" furniture designer Ted Nemeth mumbles into the phone before asking to reschedule our interview, blaming his confusion on a booze-fueled night out. Apparently, a pre-noon phone interview on a Saturday is a ridiculous request for this Brooklyn-based designer. You see, Ted Nemeth Designs is no Ethan Allen. Both make ottomans and end tables, but only one ......
inked-people/topout Born in the spit and blood of the mixed-marital-arts world, Tapout clothing is the uniform for guys who are (or at least want to look) tough.

When an artist marries ......

Instead, her mom challenged er to find every book in ......

In high school, he ripped through the competition, earning state MVP honors in New Hampshire while taking his team to the state championship. College was no different. At Air Jordan’s alma mater, University of North Carolina, McCants scorched opposing defenses with his silky smooth skills, earning All-Conference and second team All-American status as a sophomore ......
inked-people/siri-garber Siri Garber, founder of Platform Public Relations in Los Angeles, has a groovy voice—a raspy, powerful one that probably makes some of her male clients think about pleasure, rather than business, when she picks up the phone. But this celebrity publicist’s throaty purr isn’t a result of barking orders. “I think some of us [in the public ......
