blog/skateboarder-transforms-hunting-lodge-indoor-skate
Austrian pro skateboarder Philipp Schuster (with the help of his Red Bull sponsors) took on a rustic Austrian lodge as his latest DIY project. Donned with mounted animal heads and now mini ramps, lips, and ledges, Schuster can polish up his skills in the comfort of his new spruced up villa.

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 ......
article/q-attika-7 After leaving his former band Biohazard, Evan Seinfeld is back in the public eye with his new band Attika 7. Seinfeld took some time out of his schedule to talk to Inked about his transition from band to band, his personal growth as an artist and the tattoos that have marked his body along the way....

blog/beckham-boys-get-tattooed-temporarily Their father is covered in body art so it's no surprise that the Beckham boys are fans of tattoos too. David and Victoria Beckham's boys have been spotted wearing temporary transfers before and it seems they had another inking session this weekend.
Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six year-odld Cruz, were once again enjoying some soccer practice in ......
blog/megan-fox-plans-more-tattoos Transformers star, Megan Fox, who made headlines just over a month ago for her Marilyn Monroe tattoo removal, is celebrating by getting inked again! “Megan still has a number of tattoos which she is keeping and she has several ideas for more,” a source said. “Marilyn was a mistake that she’s putting right but she is by no means ......
blog/tattoo-artist-and-former-la-ink-star-kat-von-d-rec Recently single Kat Von D is currently recording her first album. After success within the tattoo industry and LA Ink, we have no doubts that she will make some headway in the music industry as well. "I've been passionate about music all my life," Von D told E! News this weekend at the Rage video game launch in Los ......
blog/more-ink-fox Transformers hottie Megan Fox showed off her new ink on the beaches of Maui with boyfriend Brian Austin Green. Inspired by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, Fox got, "Those who danced were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music," tattooed on her right side. This would be tattoo number 9 for the actress. We'll be anxiously ......
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/dropkick-murphys The Dropkick Murphys’ St. Patrick’s Day shows in their hometown of Boston have become the stuff of legends—and hangovers. Live on Lansdowne, Boston MA captures this annual event so accurately that you can almost taste the Guinness. The 20-song compilation spans the band’s decade-plus career and showcases their Celtic-inspired punk, from upbeat traditionals like “Johnny, I Hardly ......
music/past-lives Past Lives may feature three members of the defunct act the Blood Brothers, but if you’re expecting fractured post-screamo you’re in for a surprise. On the band’s debut full-length, Tapestry of Webs, the four-piece transpose their sound into a more pop context without forsaking their avant-garde edge. The result is an album that’s teeming with ambitious ......
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 ......
games/brutal-legend Roadies spend the majority of their time hauling equipment and tuning instruments. Not Eddie Riggs. After he spills blood on his badass belt buckle in a backstage mishap, the world’s best roadie is transported to an alternate universe ripped straight from a heavy metal album cover. Under the reign of evil Lord Doviculus and his glam rockin’ minion General ......
music/afi AFI made their transformation from hardcore kids to goth-punk pioneers look as easy as applying eyeliner. The truth is, they've been tweaking their formula, and Crash Love might be the closest they’ve come to perfecting it. “Beautiful Thieves” explodes into huge guitars and operatic backing vocals while “Veronica Sawyer Smokes” races around a punked-up Cure riff. On “Medicate ......
drive/crossover-time The immense changes in the economy (we're all broke!) and the environment (we're all doomed!) have shifted what we want in a car. Translation: It's time to get over our passion for large, spacious SUVs and embrace the more practical Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV). Here are a few of the most promising new crossover vehicles.

drive/hello-moto In 1926, when the Ducati family formed its company with a group of investors in Bologna, Italy, they were seeking to cash in on the burgeoning radio transmissions industry. Less than a hundred years later, Ducati has revolutionized motorcycle design and made sexy sport bikes the ride of choice for a new generation of bikers.

drive/back-black No brand is more American nor, over the long haul, more successful than Harley-Davidson. So it's not surprising that the massive passion for big noisy bikes and wild open spaces has been translated into a prolific all-American palette of tattoo art. And while the most popular Harley ink incorporates traditional themes like swooping eagles and shields of stars and ......
article/lucky-13 Nothing makes a strange town feel more like home than a great bar. It gives you a sense of the city, a feel for the locals, and—perhaps, most importantly—it can supply a nice buzz. The problem in many cases is picking the right spot. So many cities are overrun with mainstream, cookie-cutter places that it can be tough ......
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/seventh-son-tattoo Seventh Son might be the best amalgamation of all San Francisco’s tattoo scene has to offer. Co-owned by Jason Kundell (former coowner of Artwork Rebels), Erik Rieth (formerly of Everlasting Tattoo), and Luke Stewart (who was a regular guest artist at Artwork Rebel), the studio may be on the new side, but its artists have certainly been around long ......
inked-people/dyslexic-speedreaders What does it take to be a flash in the pan? Apparently, a combo of the right drugs, locker room references to genitals, and blatant pride about things that common sense would tell you to keep quiet. And Paris Hilton never hurts. Right now, I’m on the phone with Dirt Nasty and Andre Legacy, two thirds of the Los ......
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 ......

Reply to 'Americans Getting Chinese Tattoos' (130 words)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. These
symbols can bring pride and inspiration to the wearer.
I know first-hand, I have a koi tattoo.
I chose ......
