For a hefty price, Indiana wrestler Eric Hartsburg auctioned off some face space to get Mitt Romney's logo tattooed on his temple. Fifteen thousand dollars, to be exact. Hartsburg admits that he was "totally disappointed" by the results of the election, but hopes that he can use his tattoo to encourage young people to vote. "I was trying to ......

blog/comics-and-costumes-and-characters-oh-my

In a city like New York, where we are very much accustomed to the presence of "characters", it comes as nothing short of a surprise that we are truly sad to see the 2012 New York Comic Con come to an end and watch all it's characters leave with it.

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.

When he started, Myers saw a void in the options for ...

2,500-year-old tattoos have been discovered in Russia on the body of a Siberian princess which was preserved in permafrost.

A group of lucky NASCAR fans received a very permanent reminder of their trip to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend – in the form of badass, free tattoos from Jeremiah Weed. NASCAR Championship contender Matt Kenseth, who now sits in 2nd place in the Chase standings, and the flavored malt beverage maker teamed up to offer free permanent tattoos to race fans ......

blog/boston-celtics-guard-rajon-rondos-new-tattoo

Athletes are known for getting tattoos in tribute to something that is meaningful in their life. Boston Celtics Guard Rajon Rondo recently got a tattoo of two interlocked R's on his back. Is it a coincidence that his RR happens to be his initials? Until we hear otherwise, we're just glad he didn't get an ice cream ......

blog/tattoo-aftercare

So I have been getting tattooed now for 14 years and have run the gamut on tattoo aftercare. Many factors influence conditions including the type of skin you have, location of the tattoo (whether it is covered), and the climate you live in. I used to keep it wrapped for 24 hours, wash with anti-bacterial soap, use some 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 ......

Ryan Roberts of the Arizona Diamondbacks said he appreciates when people ask him about his many, many tattoos.

inked-people/nadia-g

You’re flicking through the late-night television options in the haze of half sleep when you pause on the Cooking Channel because of the incongruity of what you’re hearing and what you’re seeing. From behind a kitchen counter on a cooking-show set that’s art-directed within a half inch of its life, a woman with the stage presence ......

blog/snooki-tanning-bed-tattoo-chair

Looks like Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is showing off more than her famous "pouf" these days. The wild reality star of MTV's 'Jersey Shore' tweeted this picture of her new ink yesterday; a crown with a cross and a Hello Kitty inspired bow. The full-color tattoo, placed on her upper arm, is sure to get plenty of attention on this ......

blog/keith-urbans-eagle-tattoo-revealed

When Keith Urban was 24 and had just moved state-side, he got a tattoo for himself as a present. The cool gift of the eagle tattoo on his should blade seemed “perfect” for the singer, since the bird is iconic and symbolic of American freedom and would accompany the singer on all of his journeys for the rest of this ......

For our latest issue release, we teamed up with one of our favorite liquor brands. Jägermeister is known for inspiring crazy nights out, and last night at GunBar was no different.

blog/older-inked-ladies

If you caught The Today Show this morning, you may have seen a story that is not all that surprising. According to the National Tattoo Association, there's been an increase in the number of women of advanced age coming in to tattooed. This particular story focused on 78-year old Helen Lambin, who got her first tattoo just three years ......

blog/nashville-gets-inked

Inked spent an amazing few days at the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival in Nashville, TN May 13-15th. In its 10th year, the festival was the perfect mix of horror & tattoos. From those excited to meet their favorite horror film stars to those looking for some new ink, we had an awesome time meeting the crowd and checking out a ton of tattoos. There was NO shortage of tattoo talent; The crew from Lone Wolf Body Art, Eric Newby from Ink Expressions, Bodean from Bodean’s Tattoos and Body Piercing, Vince Villalvazo from All or Nothing Tattoo & Arts Studio and the crew from Truth & Triumph Tattoo…to just name a few. We also had a great time meeting and mixing with big film legends like Malcolm McDowell (The Clockwork Orange) Tyler Mane (Halloween) Sig Haig (House of a Thousand Corpses) and of course Gary Busey. In addition, there was a new element added to the show this year; an Independent Horror Film Festival, which had films screening all weekend, making it a truly interesting and unique show. A BIG thanks ......

inked-people/natasha-kai

Soccer players blur together on the pitch. Forget trying to read their numbers; they are reduced to a trail of their kit’s color. Maybe this is why soccer stars of renown (at least in the American consciousness) have had distinctive haircuts: Cobi Jones had dreadlocks; Alexi Lalas has a plume of red hair. Natasha Kai doesn’t go wild ......

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/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 ......

music/ted-leo-and-pharmacists

Ted Leo may be the hardest-working man in punk. 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 ......

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 ......

blog/no-swift-ink

Convinced her success would soar, 20 year-old country music star, Taylor Swift, planned on getting her lucky number tattooed on her arm. "I was born on the 13th. I turned 13 on Friday the 13th. My first album went gold in 13 weeks. My first number 1 song had a 13-second intro," she has previously said. "Every time I've ......

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/where-we-come

Ever wonder how some of your artists and piercers got into this industry.... We watch these tattoo and piercing shows and yet they never ask this one main question.... I find their roads to this industry are as diverse and interesting as the artist themselves.... For me i envied these artists for their talent and their knowledge but never had ......

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 ......

games/forza-motorsport-3

Spend more time with your cars than with your girlfriend? Look into counseling and clear your schedule. With 400 road burners from 50 manufacturers, Forza 3’s garage makes Jay Leno’s car collection look like a used car lot. The second Forza title in three years delivers even more grease monkey realism with a new physics system that includes ......

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 ......

travel/spanish-coast

A drive down Spain’s eastern coast is a winding road trip through a bit of everything, from historical castles and wildflower fields to chic hotels and nude beaches. Plan a September road trip along the coast from Valencia to Peñíscola and you’ll get to experience it all, including the Castellón Tattoo Convention, which takes place September 5 – 7 ......

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 ......

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/mad-dogs

Three days had passed since Clara, a three-year-old English bulldog, was stolen outside a grocery store in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. The NYPD followed a few leads but in a city with nearly 500 homicides a year, a missing dog was not exactly at the top of the local police blotter. Then a crew of intimidating-as-hell, tattoo-clad equalizers ......

article/180-proof

While you're reading this, Tila Tequila is taking over the world. Since rocketing into the libidos of men and women everywhere with her saucy MySpace photos, the pintsized model has created an entire industry based on her sex-icon status. She still maintains her MySpace page (with over three million friends and counting), her MTV show A Shot at Love ......

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/elm-street-tattoo

In 1990, tattooer Oliver Peck made the decision to never again wear a pair of shoes that wasn't red. "It's sort of an LSD-induced pact I made with myself," Peck explains from the floor of Elm Street Tattoo, which he opened with partner Dean Williams in 1996. In the 12 years since Elm Street opened its doors, Peck ......

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/chinatown-tattoo

Walk around the streets of Philadelphia and you’ll quickly notice it’s a city that takes tattooing seri ously. “In the summer you’ll see ink all over everyone,” says Chinatown Tattoo co-owner Braden Kendall. “It crosses all genres; I’ve sleeved out two doctors recently.” The shop sees a lot of action from walk-in clients—“We do names ......

inked-spots/philadelphia-eddies-tattoo-haven

Yes, you read it correctly; this shop is also called Philadelphia Eddie’s. “This was the first shop that Eddie Funk opened on Fourth Street,” explains Troy Timpel, who has owned the business along with Furry since 2002. “When he retired he offered ownership of the different locations to the guys who helped run them. We’re keeping his legacy ......

inked-spots/philadelphia-eddies

For those who appreciate a walk down memory lane, there’s only one shop in town to visit: Philadelphia Eddie’s. Opened 13 years ago by (you guessed it) “Philadelphia Eddie” Funk, it was passed down five years ago to two of his longtime colleagues, Jerry Donohoe and Tom Napp. These guys are the real deal for both authentic traditional ......

inked-spots/zulu-tattoo

Spirituality rules at this famed establishment, whose client list includes Montel Williams and Dennis Rodman. “Western tattooing, unfortunately, is about money,” says owner Roni Zulu. “But the art of tattooing is a very ancient, very sacred art form.” Concerned with learning and preserving the primordial cultural aspects of the craft, Zulu frequently travels to places like the Tahitian islands and ......

inked-spots/mister-cartoon

“Everybody thinks I came into the tattoo world with a red carpet at my feet,” says venerated artist Mister Cartoon. It’s easy to understand why this misconception exists: Cartoon was already well known in as a muralist and illustrator before becoming interested in tattooing. “Being a professional artist was a handicap,” he says. “I would have had an easier ......

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/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/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/metal-sanaz

Chances are you're already friends with Metal Sanaz. Since launching her MySpace page in 2003, Sanaz has become a fixture on the friend lists of over 700,000 fans around the world who have helped her rack up more than two million video views for her online metal show. That fan base helped earn Sanaz a spot as the ......

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/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/lea-vendetta

"I don't like to do nice, clean tattoos or realistic stuff. A tattoo should look like a tattoo," says Lea Vendetta, the Paris-born 37-year-old tattoo artist whose journey has taken her from the City of Lights to Key West, FL . Vendetta started in tattooing in 1989, when, at the age of 18, she got her first ink—a Celtic ......

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 ......

THE RULE: “No pitcher shall have markings on his body that are potentially distracting to the umpire or batter.

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 ......

Pro skateboarder Jereme Rogers can reel off a list of broken bones including numerous fingers, his left foot (twice), his right foot, his hand (several times), and a cut that nearly severed the tendon in his hand. “If it would have cut the tendon all the way in half it would have wound up into my wrist,” he remembers. “They ......

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 ......

“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 ......

“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/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 ......

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.

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 ......

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 ......
