Tattoos are designed for permanence, and the technology behind them is in no hurry to change either. For more than a century, the basic setup used to put ink in the skin of sailors, soldiers, and other skin art fans has been tweaked and fine-tuned while never deviating too far from the original design. After all, tattoo artists aren’t ...

    A hulking Russian ex-swordfighter with tattooed forearms - sounds like the lead in a new Guy Ritchie flick, no? Alas, you will have to watch old DVD's if you're hankering for violence and British slang. Because this rugged new character is none other than Santa Claus, the benevolent lead in Dreamworks' recently released "Rise of the Guardians." Seldom have ......

    After leaving his former band Biohazard, Evan Seinfeld is back in the public eye with his new band Attika 7.

blog/woman-gets-memorial-funeral-ash-tattoo
    33-year-old model-turned-bodybuilder Jodie Marsh made sure her nan would always be with her. Yes, she got a memorial tattoo, but she wanted to take it to the next level. She had her nan's ashes crushed into the ink and tattooed onto her. Now, Marsh says, "I feel like she's with me forever." Would you get that kind of ......

blog/tipping-your-tattoo-artist
    Tipping etiquette is always a big question when talking about any industry. Just like when you tip your hair dresser, nail tech, or waiter, 20% is great. If your artist is doing custom work for you and including the design in the cost of the piece always take that time into consideration as well. It's always nice to make ......

blog/steve-jobs-tribute-tattoo
    With the recent passing of the iconic and beloved former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, we thought it would be great to pay tribute to him in a way that only we can.

    If you live in the northeastern part of the United States, you definitely remember the earthquake that hit on Tuesday afternoon.

inked-people/michael-symon
    Cleveland has had a tough run. From time to time its river would catch on fire, and more recently, favored son Lebron James publicly dissed it by televising his “decision” to leave for Miami. But what Cleveland does have going for it is hope that this will be the Indians’ year (one can always hope) and one of the culinary ......

blog/motor-ink
    Every great artist knows that truly special ink requires a precise blend of planning, design, aesthetics and character. In the world of custom motorcycle fabricators, those characteristics are also of paramount importance to create powerful machines with enough attitude and edge to satisfy the riders who mount them. Dave Perewitz understands both of these dynamics as one of the most ......

blog/gaga-gets-horny-tattoo
    Just hours after winning a record breaking 8 VMAs and announcing to the world that her upcoming release will be called Born This Way, the singer was spotted at JFK Airport in New York on Monday sporting a tattoo of a unicorn on her left thigh with the words, yep, "Born This Way" wrapping around the horn......

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 ......

blog/hot-sauce-extravaganza
    The other day, our friends at Tabasco, made us a tailgating style lunch with all the fixings. Macaroni and cheese, baked chicken, ice cream sandwiches, and more. Everything they brought was made with Tabasco hot sauce, and I have to say that it reminded me of living in the south. All of us at Inked definitely appreciated the lesson on ......

music/trans-am
    Trans Am have always had a relatively esoteric identity, so it’s hard to know if the band are being sincere when they claim that Thing was originally commissioned as a “sci-fi horror adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.” Regardless of its inspiration, the album is evidence that this electro-inflected rock band haven’t lost any of their spark since their ......

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/tattoo-stories
    We have all heard them the stories behind the tattoos, but now you read them and get some good Karma points too. Smart Imagination has released Tattoo Stories a book with beautiful pictures and great stories to match with the foreword done by Chester Bennington from Linkin Park. From the Executive VP going through a divorce to the Hairstylist trying ......

music/jonsi
    Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson gained fame as the frontman for Icelandic post-rock act Sigur Rós, but his solo release sees him transposing his gift for orchestral explosions into a pop-friendly context (mostly because he’s singing in English). Jónsi’s voice is so distinctive that the songs sound similar to Sigur Rós’s in many ways, but sweetly syncopated tracks ......

music/foxy-shazam
    In an increasingly homogenized musical landscape, acts like Foxy Shazam are a rarity, which is what makes the band’s major-label debut, Foxy Shazam, all that more impressive. Combining elements of glam rock, classic rock, and soul, this 15-song collection effortlessly switches from huge pop anthems like “Count Me Out” to orchestrally driven show-tune-esque numbers like “Evil Thoughts” without a ......

blog/missinkamericacom-2010
    Ms. Priscilla Noel, of Atlantic City, New Jersey, was crowned MissInkAmerica.com 2010 on Friday, February 19, during the first ever MissInkAmerica.com Pageant at The Pool inside Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City, NJ. Noel earned her crown, sash and scepter by rockin’ out her routine in a number of different categories including overall beauty, body art, personal platform ......

blog/if-you-cant-beat-them-buy-them
    The popular online fashion blog, FashionIndie.com, has just announced that it has been purchased by none other than famed French designer Christian Audigier. The same Christian Audigier who is responsible for the ever so chic Ed Hardy and Smet brands. Audigier made this decision after deciding he wanted to stop fashion blogs from making fun of his trademark designs ......

music/goldfrapp
    Whatever Goldfrapp do—from thumping electronica to glammed up romps—they do it for the dance floor. The British electronic music duo’s fifth full-length, Head First, is loaded with pulsating pop gems, such as “Alive,” that are a step away from the baroque pop of their previous album—and tailor-made for getting down. While Head First does occasionally get ......

music/dr-dog
    Dr. Dog have always prided themselves on their lo-fi aesthetic, so it’s slightly odd that they worked with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, The Vines) on their latest. Thankfully, the improved production enhances the band’s sound on harmony-rich songs like “Shadow People.” While Shame, Shame still teems with the band’s brand of psychedelia, confessional songs like “I ......

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 ......

blog/get-inked-charity
    What better reason to get that new piece you've been itching for than to donate to children. This is the idea behind the successful event that has raised over $95, 000 in past 8 years for a local Children's Hospital. With help from visiting artists Wild Bill's tattoo shop in Roseville, CA puts on a 16 hour ......

blog/get-virtually-inked
    Have you ever wondered what a tattoo or multiple tattoos might look like on you? Why not try it out virtually before you really get it done! You can use pre-loaded pictures and body art or upload your own. Another way to try it before you buy it, and it's all for under $10 for a whole year....

blog/extreme-mistakes
    Some people get tattoos as a way to express themselves, other people get them to make extreme statements. A spelling error can take away all of the effect that the tattoo was meant to have in the first place. The Huffington post has compiled some hilarious misspelled tattoos. Make sure you check your spelling the next time you get tattooed....

blog/your-ticket-tattoo-freedom
    In celebration of Kat Von D gracing the cover of Inked for a third time, we're letting you in on Kat's secret for covering up tattoos when the occasion calls for it. Kat says, "If you wanna hide a tattoo just for one day, the proper concealer can make that happen! No one has to see what you ......

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 ......

blog/lets-get-these-clarafied
    Ask your everyday person how to clean a piercing and i can majically guess their answer. Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, or bactine. This is one thing that STILL makes me feel like smacking their head and saying they need a V8. In a time of the information super highway, cloning and A chanel on TV about EVERYTHIng under the sun ......

music/paramore
    When a young band like Paramore explodes out of nowhere (Franklin, TN?) there are always repercussions. On their third album, the group’s pint-sized singer with the giant voice, Hayley Williams, outlines the trail of mistrust and broken relationships. Fame has taught her that you “can’t be too careful anymore” (“Careful”), and later, on “Feeling Sorry,” she looks back ......

music/converge
    Writers hate reviewing a new Converge album. The kings of underground hardcore metal deliver so consistently that it becomes an exercise in finding new ways to say, “They still shred.” Enter Axe to Fall, the most straightforward Converge album yet. It’s apparent from the opening blast of “Dark Horse,” a galloping shot of guitars and throat-searing screams, that Converge ......

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 ......

blog/hart-huntington-grand-opening
    Be sure to check out all the insane events going on for the grand opening of Hart and Huntington at the Vegas Hard Rock Hotel & Casino next weekend. Free tattoo give-a-ways for a lucky few, H & H after-party at Wasted Space featuring Steel Panther, Avenge Sevenfold at Wasted Space the following night and Snoop Dogg by the pool on Sunday ......

travel/singapore
    You wouldn't think a tattoo convention would be welcome in a strict city-state that has been criticized for its disregard of individual freedoms-it banned chewing gum for 12 years (1992-2004) and still imposes hefty fines for things like forgetting to flush a public toilet or spitting in public. But Singapore's government hasn't found a way to stop ......

travel/austin
    "Keep Austin Weird." That's the mantra that has maintained this bastion of free thinking in a state that's home to "thinkers" like President Bush. And this month, as musicians, movie makers, and techno-geeks descend upon Austin for the South By Southwest Conferences and Festival (March 7 through 16), the weirdness continues. If you plan on checking out SXSW ......

drive/hip-be-square
    As the SUV craze sputters to a halt, automotive designers are learning to provide space and ? exibility in cool box-shaped vehicles, all without, um, cutting corners. Honda led the way with the Element (said to be fashioned after a Malibu Beach lifeguard station), and Toyota followed with the hugely successful Scion xB. Now the Ford Flex and the Kia Soul ......

drive/max
    You couldn't have fit more muscle on the original Yamaha V-MAX. With its massive V4 engine crammed into the frame, the V-MAX was one of the most muscular bikes on the streets back in 1985. And with the exception of a few tweaks and cosmetic touches along the way, the model remained largely unchanged until it was pulled from ......

drive/muscle-flow
    The most prolific era of the American muscle car started in 1970, when growling engines, screeching tires, and acrid blue smoke were lit in the night by the glow of a thousand red taillights. 1970 was also the year the original Dodge Challenger was introduced. And while its place in muscle car history could be argued ad nauseam over a ......

drive/going-topless
    One surefire way to start a fight: tell a gearhead that the newest generation of Chevrolet Corvette might challenge the sports car supremacy of the Porsche. It’s the type of argument that will probably end with a tire iron to the head. It’s also true. The new generation of Chevrolet Corvettes have ushered in a whole new approach ......

    Hip-hop? Punk? R&B? No one can categorize this group of outcasts from upstate New York - and that's just the way they like it....

article/inked-girls-new-york-city
    Even on the crowded subways and streets, the tattooed women of the Big Apple stand out. We threw open our doors and invited them to show off their ink, and they arrived with tattoos of everything from killer zombies to My Little Pony. Here is a look at just some of the ladies who dropped by. Watch for the Inked ......

article/pinstripe-wizards
    The history of pinstriping stretches back in one long, straight, hand-painted line all the way to horse-drawn carriages and further back in time to cave walls. What’s certain is this: you can’t talk about pinstriping without hearing the name Kenny Howard, best known as Von Dutch. Thought to be the granddaddy of the art, Von Dutch was an ......

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/think-tank
    When Th’ink Tank Tattoo Studio and Art Gallery opened in Denver it gave the ink-loving folks in the Mile-High City a quality place for tattoos and a stellar gallery space. It almost didn’t last. “When we first started, we opened up in a neighborhood that was just too pricey,” says artist Jef Kopp. “Luckily, we figured that out ......

inked-spots/mike-ledger-tattoo
    “No one knew who I was when I moved to Hawaii,” says Mike Ledger. “I really had to work my way up from nothing again.” Originally from Farmingdale, New York, Ledger went from having a three-year waiting list to starting from scratch. “I had to prove myself and get accepted by the locals in Hawaii,” he remembers. Now he’s ......

inked-spots/diablo-rojo
    At 26th and Guadalupe Streets, right across from the University of Texas campus, Diablo Rojo has “probably one of the best locations in town, ” according to owner Doug Curtis. Though it’s within earshot of the school, the shop is for the most part custom, according to Curtis. But the weekends do have a tendency toward a “street shop atmosphere ......

inked-spots/cherry-bomb-tattoo
    “Please note that I am a one-man operation so I am not always able to get back to people as quickly as I would like.” This is the apologetic ending to the voice mail greeting of Cherry Bomb’s sole artist and operator, Patrick Cornolo, who has had to deal with a lot of big changes this year. Located on ......

inked-people/zoo-york
    From the outside, the offices of skateboard and clothing company Zoo York look like any other dull, gray building in midtown Manhattan. The inside is another story. Up the elevator and through a conference room decorated with skateboard decks, down a hallway lined with clothing racks and a few used and abused skateboards is a stairwell covered top to bottom ......

inked-people/nate-appleman
    Nate Appleman, executive chef at San Francisco’s acclaimed A16 and SPQR restaurants, didn’t inherit his culinary chops from his parents. “They don’t cook,” says the chef. However, Appleman’s father did pass on another lifelong passion. When Mr. Appleman, a physician, returned from a business trip with a small spider inked on his leg, the future chef ......

inked-people/burn-halo
    When Orange County hardcore band Eighteen Visions ended their 11-year run in 2007, frontman James Hart had mixed feelings. He was disappointed but excited by the prospect of starting anew. Since the 2004 album Obsession, Hart had been pushing the band in a more hard rock direction, and some members had pushed back. Now that he was on his own ......

inked-people/heather-gabel
    When Heather Gabel created Alkaline Trio's iconic skull and heart logo through a happy accident with a photocopier, she had no idea the countless tattoos it would inspire. "I was at Kinko's making a flyer and was like, 'I'm just going to throw this in here,'" she remembers. "I was 19 and pretty heavily into skulls at ......

inked-people/tara-dakides
    Long before Tara Dakides was an X Games champ and leading lady of snowboarding, she was another 18-year-old having doubts about her next tattoo. "He had a twitchy eye," Dakides remembers of the tattooer who took a turntable in payment for a tattoo. "I should've known from that point that he probably wouldn't have done good work." She ......

inked-people/bronx
    The Bronx have a new album out—but you might not realize it. That’s because the Los Angeles band’s third album, like the two that came before it, is titled simply The Bronx. It’s part of the band’s plan to keep things simple—a plan that also includes recording at the group’s own studio and ......

inked-people/shirly-brener
    "I've gotten to play a lot of drug addicts and hookers this year," muses actress Shirly Brener. The Bardot-esque blonde, who possesses a paradoxical mix of girl-next-door charm and femme fatale-worthy dark sensuality, revels in her distinctiveness. She's as comfortable portraying the bubbly love interest in a romantic comedy as a depraved addict in an indie flick. "Once ......

inked-people/sebastien-grainger
    Sebastien Grainger, one half of the now-defunct Canadian dance-punk duo Death From Above 1979, is many things, but a great parallel parker is not one of them. In fact, the 29-year-old doesn't have a driver's license. "I had a driving lesson this morning at 10 a.m.," Grainger says, laughing, via telephone from Toronto. "I always lived in ......

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/missy-suicide
    The explosion of tattooed, pierced, and otherwise modified models can be traced back to one Portland, Oregon, woman who was fed up with "siliconeenhanced Barbie dolls." Using her prior experience on the Web and the camera skills she learned in art school, Selena Moody (now known as Missy Suicide) snapped photos of her friends in pinup-style poses and worked with ......

inked-people/jim-koch
    Long before he worked with everyone from Mötley Crüe to Marilyn Manson and designed skate decks and high-end toys, graphic designer Jim Koch (pronounced cook) worked with his hands in another way—as a lumberjack.

She ......

Why not bro? The asians have a far deeper history than we americans do. They have ancient ways, traditions and beliefs that were based of calligraphic symbols and animals that represent a far deeper connection to beliefs, desires and inspirations.

the 'american' tattoo art is generally defined as the art by, or inspired by, people like Sailor Jerry, Ed Hardy, etc.. its thick outlines, simple bold colors and distinctive style have been around for a while (relatively speaking, with respect to america's relatively short complete history). pin up girls, navy themes, banners and stars are just a few hallmarks ......

I'm kinda on the fence about this.

I generally get a decent tax return but that's primarily because I am self-employed and put away far more money in a tax account than I need to. Having a good accountant means a world of difference.

I'd probably be covered if I had the money, but instead I have to take it slow. In a way I'm kind of glad for that because it gives me more time for ideas to stew. Unfortunately my artist is moving up north soon so I'm going to have to be taking some long treks every time ......
