Although his sixth full-length with the Pharmacists may not have any songs as infectious as “Me and Mia,” from his incendiary 2004 effort Shake the Sheets, it is probably his most consistent effort to date. While the album is teeming with plenty of politically motivated rock songs, The Brutalist Bricks also ......

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/boondock-saints-gone-bad The sequel to the bad ass cult film, Boondock Saints, has finally released its sequel this month; I’m shocked it made it to theaters. All of the components that made this movie memorable have been replaced with bad acting, terrible writing, and random wind tunnels. Willem Dafoe has been replaced with Julie Benz, "Rita" from Dexter. Instead of Dafoe ......
music/frightened-rabbit Scotland is known for a lot of things, like its whiskey and … some other stuff we can’t recall. We do know that the country’s second most satisfying export is the indie rock act Frightened Rabbit, whose third album, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, proves they can transcend their own hype. From expertly crafted ballad “Swim Until You Can ......

music/fucked The career of Fucked Up has been, well, fucked up. The Canadian band blew up the formula for hardcore with the album Hidden World, played stunt gigs such as performing for 12 straight hours in NYC, then released The Chemistry of Common Life, a massive wall of noise complete with violins. Despite that, this two-CD collection of B-sides and alternate ......

Academy Award winner Helen Mirren, who won for her role in "The Queen", drunkenly got tattooed many years ago "when only sailors and Hell's Angels were tattooed."

After the Germans invade France, the only color left is the bold red of Nazi banners hanging over Paris. To restore color to the City of Lights, street-smart Irish race car driver turned French Resistance supporter Sean Devlin must ......
music/foo-fighters Which is wilder to consider: that it’s been 18 years since Nirvana released Nevermind or that Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters have released six albums since? While Nirvana was dragged kicking and screaming into playing arenas, Grohl built the Foos and their sound to fill them. Among the 16 tracks assembled on their first greatest hits collection are obvious ......

Playing as characters such ......
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 ......
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 ......

But somehow Hungary's magical capital city of Budapest has retained its ......
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 ......

If you plan on checking out SXSW ......
drive/hatch-made-heaven Elsewhere in the world, hatchbacks are ubiquitous. From Tokyo to Wolfsburg, they gamely fulfill their utilitarian purposes as people, uh, do whatever it is people do in other countries. Here in America, however, drivers have typically shunned small, fuel-efficient cars. That, of course, is quickly changing—but it doesn’t mean we’ve lost the very American need for speed ......

Sure, making the switch helps the environment, but these days, driving an overpowered little monster is as fashionable as it is noble.

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 ......

inked-spots/smith-street-tattoo-parlour Fifty years ago, the tattoo game in Brooklyn was a strictly blue-collar business dominated by hard men with names like one-eyed Max Pelz, Tony the Pirate, Jack Red Cloud, and Brooklyn Blackie. They were tattooers, not tattoo artists. They worked out of parlors, not art studios. They needled strong black lines and bold colors. They had a code of conduct ......

inked-people/natalia-fabia “I have a weird thing with voyeurism,” says artist Natalia Fabia, whose paintings depict “rad, talented chicks” in private, doing things like hugging a stuffed bunny or eating an ice-cream cone, often while wearing little more than their undies. Fabia’s colorful paintings, which have made her one of the Los Angeles art scene’s fastest-rising stars, reflect a constellation ......
inked-people/set-your-goals Check the walls of your local music venue and there’s a good chance you’ll find a Set Your Goals sticker plastered somewhere. It’s a visual reminder of how much things have changed since the band joined the Epitaph Records roster. “On our old label, we would get, like, 100 stickers and they would be in black and ......
inked-people/jose-mangin The new host of MTV’s Headbangers Ball, José Mangin, got his first tat- too at 16 (Pantera’s famous Cowboys From Hell logo) and was hooked. But it was his encounter with the band’s late, great guitarist, Dimebag Darrell, that got him addicted. “I walked up to him and said, ‘Scarred for life, man,’ and he totally tripped ......
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/bangladesh Music producer Shondrae Crawford, a.k.a. Bangladesh, is known for creating beats so original that they sometimes cause a problem—no one can rhyme to them. "I never thought of my sound as that unique," admits the 30-year-old music producer. "But people kept telling me it was like nothing they'd ever heard before. It's foreign to their ......
inked-people/chase-kusero Imagine you're a Hollywood hairstylist working on a movie with Colin Farrell, whose hair you've been shampooing, blow-drying, and keeping reasonably coiffed for weeks. When the time comes that Farrell needs a cut, would you go near the boozy bigmouth with a pair of scissors? No, you'd probably call in reinforcements. And that's how Los Angeles ......
inked-people/ben-baller Ben Baller, the man behind Icee Fresh & Co., a high-end jewelry outfit that specializes in classy bling, may have been raised in the Koreatown section of south central Los Angeles, but he was born in hip-hop. “I’ve been around hip-hop since the late ’70s,” Baller explains. “I got to see it in every single aspect. I was a b-boy ......
inked-people/loved-ones The title of The Loved Ones' latest full-length, Build & Burn, has a special meaning for the band's frontman, Dave Hause. "I'm a partner in a small contracting company, and I try to maintain that while playing music," Hause explains while taking a break from a house-remodeling project near his home base of Philadelphia. "It's a lot of work, but it's also really rewarding; both aspects of my life have their challenges, but they also have their rewards." Amazon.com WidgetsHause knows a thing or two about paying his dues. He got his start as a roadie for New Jersey punk legends The Bouncing Souls and started The Loved Ones in ... ...
inked-people/nichole-east Nichole East's business card reads "Kid Robot, Toy Baroness." That says enough. As one of the first employees at quirky-cool adult toy company Kid Robot, she remembers when the team was so tiny that they were excited just to have business cards. "There were only maybe six or seven of us total," she recalls. "We had so many tasks ......
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/new-found-glory Believe it: The Bible is better fodder for tattoo inspiration than it might seem. In fact, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert probably wouldn't have gotten his first tattoo if it weren't for the good book. "When I was really little, my mom gave me this Bible. On the spine, there was a shield with a cross in ......
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/nigel-sylvester Ask pro BMX freestyle rider Nigel Sylvester which hurts more-getting a chest piece shaded or taking a header into the ground after missing a toothpick grind-and he'll say neither: It's all about mind over matter. "Riding bikes is physical-you're gonna fall down and get hurt," says Sylvester. "Same with tattoos. Yeah, some of 'em hurt, but I ......
inked-people/erik-ellington Pro skateboarder Erik Ellington’s first-ever tattoo was nearly a casualty of his INKED photo shoot. “I went bombing down a hill and slammed,” the 31-year-old skater recounts. “I rolled down the hill like a rag doll, scraping up my whole right side.” The fall slashed up the word “Balance” on his upper arm—the name of the skate company ......
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/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/laura-santana Laura Satana was born badass. Growing up in the Paris suburbs (think projects, not picket fences) the 31-year-old picked up her first tattoo machine at 15. The setup, a homemade scratcher piece, was a gift from gypsies she often watched tattoo her young friends, sometimes using Satana's own drawings. With machine in hand, the teenage tattooist opened up shop ......
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/bleeding-through Two years had passed since Brandan Schieppati got his last tattoo-a silhouette on his side of Rocky Balboa—and Bleeding through's acerbic singer didn't have any immediate plans to get more ink. then, in early June, a phone call with his manager about the band's upcoming European tour left him rankled. At the time, Bleeding through was ......
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. The MMA world was still in its relative infancy in the United States when Tapout was launched in 1997 as the brainchild of Charles Lewis Jr., better known as Mask for his trademark face ......
inked-people/jk5 Joseph Ari Aloi has been known in the tattooing world for 14 years as JK5, although few stop to ask what's behind the initials, instead focusing on his trippy custom work that rocks the collars, hands, and bellies of Williamsburg, Brooklyn— home to Saved Tattoo, where he's been tattooing for the past two years. When an artist marries ......
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. "I was buckin' and haulin' logs and I said, Fuck that! I want to draw," he remembers of his teen logging years. Koch traded in ......
inked-people/yung-berg Fifteen is a tough age to get anything right, let alone to handle the lifestyle and responsibilities associated with landing a major record deal. Christian "Yung Berg" Ward signed his first deal as a teenager and felt all was cool with his adolescent fame and fortune, though his parents didn't quite share the sentiment. "I was wild'n out ......
inked-people/rachel-larratt Rachel Larratt, also known as Chica Loca, takes a hair-pin turn at 129 miles per hour in her 2006 Lotus Elise and finds that the preceding evening's rain has washed away a large chunk of the stretch of Mexican roadway where she's been racing. She pilots around it and continues on, just a streak of gunmetal in Mexico ......
inked-people/civet Most artists are inspired by art they love, but it was a particularly bad backyard show by a Los Angeles punk group that spurred singer Liza Graves to form a band. "I went home and started my own band because I was so disappointed," Graves remembers. She teamed with her sister, guitarist Suzi Homewrecker, bassist Jacqui Valentine, and drummer Danni ......
inked-people/horitaka Ten years ago, when tattooer Horitaka traveled to Japan and sought out tattoo master Horiyoshi II with hopes of starting a back piece, he had no idea what he was truly beginning. "I wanted him to do my back piece, which is now finally completed, and we just hit it off," Horitaka explains. "If you had told me at that ......
inked-people/montel-williams Q & A with Montel Williams He's a former Navy spy, a medicinal marijuana smoker, and a tattoo enthusiast. Meet the other side of the daytime television king. Take one look at the half-sleeves blanketing both of his upper arms and it's clear Montel Williams lives up to his talk show's slogan, "There's More to Montel." Who ......
inked-people/scott-shriner ROCK OF LOVE We hang out at home with Scott Shriner—the only tattooed member of Weezer—to talk marriage, ink, and the band’s shocking sixth album. In a quiet neighborhood east of Hollywood, down winding tree-lined streets, sit homes belonging to Luke Wilson, Terry Gilliam, Barack Obama, and Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, who is standing in his living ......
inked-people/vivica-fox INKED: How does your new VH1 show Glam God with Vivica A. Fox work? FOX: We moved 15 stylists into a home. They are from the different worlds of fashion, from hair to makeup to wardrobe. We divided them into teams and put them through tests of styling for either a photo shoot, red carpet for MTV, red carpet for ......
inked-people/rule-justin-miller THE RULE: “No pitcher shall have markings on his body that are potentially distracting to the umpire or batter. Markings that are potentially distracting include tattoo(s) or other marking(s) which, in the opinion of the umpire, could interfere with the umpires' ability to make calls, endanger the health or safety of a batter, or otherwise interfere with the ......
inked-people/xx-factor Tattooing wouldn't be where it is today without females, both as inspiration and as artists. INKED looks at a few of the American women who spend every day wrist-deep in ink and blood. Stephanie Tamez AGE: 45 SHOP: New York Adorned, New York City and Brooklyn “I'm not exaggerating when I say that every day is an unusual ......
inked-people/wild-things Denise Richards returns with a new television show and a new tattoo, courtesy of Kat Von D. Here’s what happens when two reality TV queens collide. Check out behind the scenes photos of the shoot at Moli.com! When something sureal goes down in Hollywood, it ’s safe to assume reality TV is involved. How else would Denise Richards ......
inked-people/h2o Reading off the tattoos from H20 front man Toby Morse’s skin is a lot like flipping through the artists on his iPod. “I probably have like 30 different band tattoos, man,” he says from his California home, scouring his legs for examples. “I’ve got 7 Seconds, Murphy’s Law, Madball, Kill Your Idols, Dag Nasty, Minor Threat. I ......
inked-people/jules-kim Jewelry designer Jules Kim doesn’t like to be ripped off, so the fact that her studio is in the heart of New York City’s Chinatown, the home of knockoffs, is a bit ironic. Not long after launching her high-end jewelry line Bijules in 2004 and seeing her work worn by everyone Gwen Stefani to Rihanna, Kim started a ......
inked-people/scott-campbell Tattooers’ names are tossed around in casual conversation all the time. But unless they’re starring in a popular TV series or have a multimillion-dollar clothing line named after them, most artists aren’t exactly recognizable to millions. Except maybe Scott Campbell. Whether you know his name or not, chances are you’ve seen his work, and not just the ......
inked-people/vinnie-jones VINNIE JONES IS A PSYCHO. It’s the nickname he earned himself as a pro soccer player, and if you had to pick just one word to describe the roles he’s pursued in his second career as a Hollywood bad-ass, “psycho” would fit the bill quite snugly. The 43-year-old British expat first came to notoriety in the ’80s. Though ......
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/dr-dave The Lower East Side was once the exclusive domain of New York City’s poorest immigrants and most brazen drug dealers. Over the years, the neighborhood has been co-opted by million dollar condos, but Dr. Dave Ores (or Dr. Dave as locals have known him for 13 years), isn’t beating the anti-gentrification drum. Instead, in his street-front medical office ......
inked-people/keril Five years ago, just before Estonian pop singer Kerli turned 16, she asked her conservative mother to let her get a tattoo of a “little Chinese hieroglyph” on the back of her neck for a birthday present and reward for her academic prowess. “She said, “No fucking way’” Kerli remembers. Instead, her mom challenged er to find every book in ......
inked-people/twinkie-chan There’s something different about San Francisco scarf designer Twinkie Chan. Several things actually. First, there’s the way she talks. Twinkie doesn’t say things like “Look at that” and “My parents said.” Instead, she says, “Take a gander” and “The parental response was.” The speech pattern is most likely the result of her San Francisco day job. She ......
inked-people/maria-brink In This Moment singer Maria Brink rocks, spits, screams, and sweats. Meet the new face of metal. A couple of years after moving from Albany, New York, to Los Angeles, In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink almost gave up on her dream. It was mid-2004 and she was living alone, had no friends, hated her day job, and none of ......
inked-people/seth-wood Landing an appointment with famed New York City tattooer Seth Wood is tough. Finding him is the really hard part. Although he works a booked-solid schedule at Daredevil Tattoo and his own home studio, Wood spends more time traveling to conventions and guest spots at shops around the world, such as Invictus Custom Tattooing in Oslo and LTW in Barcelona ......
inked-people/johnny-iuzzini The desserts at New York City’s Jean Georges are some of the most sought-after sweets in the world. Tasty dishes, such as a citrus quartet featuring delicious innovations like halvah powder and a gelled Meyer lemon curd with lemon poppy cake, are the work of pastry whiz Johnny Iuzzini, who honed his sweet craft at a list of 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/shawn-barber “My art has become a history lesson for me,” reflects San Francisco artist Shawn Barber. “I’m constantly learning about the tattoo industry, the people that have defi ned it, and those who have changed it.” The 37-year-old painter has devoted the past three years to creating Tattooed Portraits, a bold collection of paintings of artists with tattoos, tattoo artists ......
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 ......
inked-people/allison-burns “When I shop at Nordstrom, the store employees follow me around,” says Los Angeles makeup artist and handbag designer Allison Burns. If only those department store employees, on the look for shoplifters, knew they were tailing the head of a handbag line coveted by celebrities and now sold at Bergdorf Goodman and more than 250 boutiques worldwide. Burns started her ......
inked-people/ultimate-fighting-championship Mixed martial arts has become the defining sport of the 21st century, and with it comes a new style of fighter—smart, athletic, and more often than not, covered in ink. Here, a look behind the scenes of the sports’ largest promotion, the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Punching someone in the face just doesn’t cut it anymore. Where boxers only ......
inked-people/eddie-steeples Actor Eddie Steeples’ tattoos tell his life story— and as far as we can tell, it’s going to be a comedy. Writers’ strike or not, a hit comedy on NBC is doing Eddie Steeples pretty well. Or so it would seem for the My Name Is Earl star, who is nearly impossible to track down. When I finally get ......
inked-people/rashad-mccants Rashad McCants played possessed. 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/sandy-poirier It’s freezing in Boston, but Sandy Poirier pays the cold weather no mind—he’s sporting his typical uniform. “If I die, I want to be buried in a rock and roll T-shirt, tight jeans, Chrome Hearts jewelry, and sneakas,” he says, with a voice that sounds like a scratched-up recording of John F. Kennedy. At first glance ......
inked-people/todd-burnes-and-olivia-miner As different industries continue to embrace tattoos, the importance of pre serving the integrity of the culture has never been more important. That’s where Todd Burnes and Olivia Miner, of Canvas Los Angeles, come in. Originally conceived as a modest boutique, Canvas Los Angeles quickly expanded into a 4,000-square-foot store and gallery showcasing the cloth ing designs and ......
inked-people/jonathon-davis Web exclusive: Check out our gallery of Korn tattoos here. Upload yours. Jonathan Davis is the last guy in America you’d expect to be well adjusted. Think about it: The guy’s whole career has been built on being a fuck-up. For the last 15 years, Davis has battled and exploited his inner demons as the lead singer of ......
inked-people/mitchell-binder There is a balance to accessorizing: You want to look like you’re not about to take shit from anyone, but you don’t want to over do it and end up more Prince than punk. For some, this balance is an inherent trait. If you’re not one of these people, meet Mitchell Binder. Binder started his accessories company ......
inked-people/cast-la-ink The Learning Channel's reality show L.A. Ink is a phenomenon. It's come on the scene and pummeled the ratings of every tattoo television show that came before, and its star, Kat Von D, is the hottest thing in heels right now. Known for her lifelike black-and-gray portraits for more than ten years, the 25-year-old vixen has put ......
inked-people/tara-mcpherson Sitting down with artist Tara McPherson you’re likely to get a lesson in physics these days: “When you take a super bright object, like a quasar, and place it in front of a massive object, it creates the illusion of four identical objects surrounding the original. That’s called Einstein’s Cross gravitational lens.” To hear this pouring so ......
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 ......
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 ......
inked-people/dillinger-escape-plan Some say the best writing descends from despair, longing, elation, love; the same old drill. But, as Liam Wilson, bassist of Dillinger Escape Plan, will tell you, the only reason to write an album is out of revenge—sweet, sweet revenge. “If someone were to show me a crystal ball years ago and say we would make our best album ......
inked-people/nikki-sixx More than six years sober, former Mötley Crüe bassist Nikki Sixx has long emerged from rock-star rock bottom. Still working the over-processed, jet-black hair, complete with black-on-black threads and requisite metal rocker accoutrement, he looks young and refreshed, unlike most of his over-50-and haggard contemporaries. He’s in control. In fact, his most recent tattoo barks directions to the dude ......
inked-people/theo-kogan “I decided I wanted to be a clown when I was 7 years old,” says Theo Kogan, lead singer of Theo and the Skyscrapers. The whole clown thing didn’t quite work out, but, she says, “I think in a way I sorta became a clown on my own, especially with Lunachicks [Kogan’s first band]. That was taking clown ......
inked-people/thrasher-funds Get out your friggin’ checkbook, because these guys are ready to take it and put it to good use. And when you’re 60 or something, you’re going to have a pile of cash to spend on stuff that the elderly need, like Viagra. But seriously, Thrasher Funds, which manages a mutual fund and a privately held, pooled investment ......
inked-people/michael-madsen “There’s a huge snow blizzard. Holy shit.” Michael Madsen is getting snowed in at his ranch in Montana. Married with six kids, I ask him if his entire family is with him. “Yes, except for my two older ones. They’re 16 and 18, back in L.A. pumping pussy. I don’t blame them.” With most actors, you ......
inked-people/eve-salvail “Getting the name of a loved one tattooed on you jinxes the relationship,” says Eve Salvail. She should know. She had the name of a girlfriend tattooed three separate times—and each time they broke up, she had to get the name covered up again. Lucky in love, it seems she’s not. But she has had some luck as ......
inked-people/mario-barth Mario Barth grew up in Austria, immigrating to the states in 1995 to set up his tattoo shop in New Jersey. “I started tattooing a long time ago. It chose me to do it,” he says. “There was no scene at the time, it was all very underground. I had no financial interest in it, but then I realized I ......
inked-people/misfit-dior It’s true a British accent makes anyone sound more interesting, but that’s only part of what makes people want to listen to rapper Misfit Dior. She first got attention for starring on VH1’s White Rapper Show (she was the only contestant good enough not to have to audition), but she’s been rhyming since she was 12 ......
inked-people/caridee-english Stuck in a house for months without television, music, or a phone is like solitary confinement. Add in flamenco-dancing Tyra Banks, vicious fashionista boys, and a gaggle of neurotic women and it becomes a surrealist nightmare. If you survive, you have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model. 22-year-old CariDee English calmly climbed to the top of ......
inked-people/mike-jones Mike Jones is known for giving out his cell phone number, screen name, and e-mail address to fans, but, ironically, he can be a hard man to get in touch with. Some calls to him go straight to a busy signal, and once, while attempting to schedule this interview, his manager said he had just dropped his cell phone in ......

Reply to 'What Sports?' (58 words)I used to compete in European style Automotive Rallies and Hillclimbs (Think Pike's Peak and Mt. Washington Hillclimb). Those are the most extreme sports to me, and one at which I excelled. It just got to be too expensive with off the racecar, tow vehicle, team, parts and crew costs to handle. Definitely an adrenaline rush nonetheless.
