games/saboteur Part Sin City, part Casablanca, The Saboteur stands out from the overcrowded collection of WWII games by going black and white. 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 ......
games/uncharted-2-among-thieves Picking up a couple of years after Sony’s blockbuster title Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, this sequel finds Abercrombie & Fitch adventurer Nathan Drake searching for the treasures of Marco Polo’s lost fleet. When Drake recovers historical documents indicating that Polo was searching for the mythical city of Shangri-La, he retraces the famed merchant’s footsteps into a hail of ......
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 ......
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 ......
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/budapest Many of the world's historical treasures have been sanitized and Starbucksified until there's little personality left: Moscow's Red Square has tchotchke-hawking souvenir carts, the leaning tower of Pisa has more handrails than a nursing home, and the Great Pyramids have a freakin' laser light show. But somehow Hungary's magical capital city of Budapest has retained its ......
travel/toronto Toronto is known for its welcoming attitude (49 percent of the city’s population was born outside of Canada), and that hospitality extends to the tattoo community when Northern Ink Xposure takes over the downtown Hilton June 13 through 15. For the Canadian expo’s 10th anniversary, there’s plenty going on: the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art will host ......
article/balls-out While painting your face and holding up a sign might have passed for fan obsession in years past, there's a new level of fan in the stands today. Face paint comes off after the last whistle blows, but the ink on these fans is going to be there long after the season goes down the tubes.

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-spots/iron-age-tattoo When tattoo veterans Brad Fink and Mark Andrews decided to open Iron Age Tattoo in 1994, they modeled the new shop after a place most people hate—the dentist. “When we opened, there were only nine shops in the St. Louis area, and they were all older and dingier,” Andrews explains over the sound of music and buzzing needles. “We ......
inked-spots/south-pacific-tattoo-co You might get a little claustrophobic in the small space of South Pacific, but it’s worth it. Owner Thomas “Wondo” Wondoloski, a Hawaii resident for 15 years, has been tattooing for 22 years and knows tattoos well. After all, his inspiration was the late tattoo legend Asa Lee Crow III. “He was like a carnival strolling down the road ......
inked-spots/primal-urge Grime talks fast, but his work takes time; his website, grimemonster.com, informs visitors that the wait to get inked is currently a whopping three years. Opening the store just over a year ago (after, Grime says, he grew tired of the “speed freaks” and “shitty landlord” he was dealing with at the now-defunct Artwork Rebels), Grime and his staff ......
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/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/jason-mewes Q & A with Jason Mewes Silent Bob's better half talks Kevin Smith, comic books, tattoos, and kicking his drug habit. Actor Jason Mewes is standing in the living room of his Los Angeles home, taking off his shirt. Positioned in front of his laptop's webcam, he shows off the "15 or 16" tattoos he's acquired during his ......
inked-people/nina-sky When music wonder twins Nina Sky took over dance floors with their 2004 hit, "Move Ya Body," even they weren't sure what they were doing. "Our first album was written about things we hadn't yet experienced in our lives," says Nicole Albino, one half of the duo. "We were 18, straight out of high school." After an exhaustive ......
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/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/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/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/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/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/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/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 ......

The dual input adapters seen abouve are avaialble in both a dark oak and light oak stain. Both designs have brass painted hardware and two red LED lights above each input jack ...
... Considering most, if not all, of the songs from Eagles of Death Metal’s first two albums are about screwing almost anything with a vagina, it’s funny that lead singer Jesse Holmes never got laid until he met his wife. “Girls didn’t want to have sex with me, and they had no problem letting me know. The song ......
music/throwdownWhen modern hardcore went metal, Hatebreed, Terror, and SoCal’s own Throwdown were left as kings of the pit. Throwdown know the formula: Keep the chugga chugga guitar riffs churning, leave room for vocalist Dave Peters to fire off Phil Anselmo–inspired vocals, and watch the kids go utterly bonkers in the pit. The slow grind of Deathless centers on ...
... The extremely dysfunctional relationship of Teen Mom stars Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley continues!
Star reports that while partying in Nashville on September 3rd, Gary decided to visit a tattoo parlor to get Amber’s name tattooed on his right shoulder.
Over the weekend, Gary revealed he was once again done with Amber while also accusing her of cheating on ......
music/matt-pond-pa Matt Pond PA may not have the same hype surrounding them that peers like Vampire Weekend do, but when it comes to sweetly satisfying indie rock, it’s hard to top Pond’s unique brand of heartbreak. Their eighth album doesn’t disappoint; from orchestral-tinged ballads such as “Running Wild” to ambient excursions like “Winter Fawn,” the album sees Pond ......
music/xiu-xiu As you can tell by the title, the latest effort from experimental indie rock act Xiu Xiu isn’t going be 2010’s most uplifting album, but it may be one of the most sonically satisfying. Produced by Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier, Dear God, I Hate Myself sees Xiu Xiu mastermind Jamie Stewart fully realizing his band’s sound on ......
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 ......
article/mastondon-reach-skye Tattoos, acid trips, two near-death experiences. The story behind Mastodon's latest metal masterpiece....
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/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 ......

Just wanted to let you know about a line of skin care products for tattooed skin -- Body Care by Emylee (www.tatfriendly.com).

I still ...

Getting inked is more common and normal in States then here in Europe.Speacially attidude wise.People seem relate to tattoos differently in States more open mindedly then here in Europe.
