But she has had some luck as ......
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 ......

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.

"Shit, where am I?" furniture designer Ted Nemeth mumbles into the phone before asking to reschedule our interview, blaming his confusion on a booze-fueled night out. Apparently, a pre-noon phone interview on a Saturday is a ridiculous request for this Brooklyn-based designer. You see, Ted Nemeth Designs is no Ethan Allen. Both make ottomans and end tables, but only one ......
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 ......
Fifteen is a tough age to get anything right, let alone to handle the lifestyle and responsibilities associated with landing a major record deal.

"I was wild'n out ......
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.

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.

“I decided I wanted to be a clown when I was 7 years old,” says Theo Kogan, lead singer of Theo and the Skyscrapers.

Saw the program 'Ancient Ink' regarding the various styles and techniques around the worldand there was a model featured with a handgrenade, horseshoe on each shoulder as well as neck tattoos and some on the rear of her thighs...has she been featured in 'Inked' magazine if not anyone know who she is ?
She was in a recent issue with symmetrical tigers on her back swinging around her shoulders and had some tribal tattoos on her back, anyone know who I'm talking about? Or what magazine it was from. I'm pretty sure it was Inked.

Anyone reccomend an artist in or near boston for a custom japanese half sleeve tattoo? One friend recomended John Biswell in Portland ME but its a bit far away. Any help?
To be honest, I wasn't a really big fan of the Sailor Jerry style "Old School" or Americana type of tattoo. I've always loved Asian themes and the huge amount of black used. But as I mature, and my taste change, I can appreciate the style on many different levels now. The history, the colors, and the art ......
So now that it's insanely expensive to just
go for a ride,do you find your living a more
active lifestyle?
Personally I think it's just forcing us to be
more environmentally conscience. Im totally
down to do the horse and buggy thing. It
would be awesome! Cant get a DUI riding your
horse drunk!...
so some of us were talking about the 'instant sleeve' in another thread (the concept of 'instant sleeve' meaning a person has an either blank or minimally tattooed arm and then goes in and gets an entire sleeve in one fell swoop, allowing a person to go from zero to bad-ass in 3.5 seconds (or 3.5 sittings, to ......
so.. i'm finished with my right sleeve and am about to start working on the left arm.. but here is the main concern.. my right arm all follows the same style for the most part.. every piece is mainly black and grey with small additions of colour.. the only colours being red and yellow.. with the exception of a ......

but it logged the post under some other girl!!!
how the hell did that happen?!
ahh! moderator!...
it takes time for me. my first tattoo was when i was 19 station in italy for 2 years where there was only 2 tattoo artist on the whole fricken island. i've been wanting it since freshmen year. waited 5 years.
my second california tattoo. gave a whole lot of thought. i first wanted it on my left hand ......
hell yeah lets not limit this, INKED mag keeps their pages open to everyone from models to tattooers to investment bankers and rock stars, let's keep it open, classy, trashy, and B.A.!!! glad to see more people on, too cool....

I may be showing my age, but I remember 20 years ago when before the web, we used to have ......
yeah, i like per-tat prices too, always works out cheaper!!
but hey, in the case of wanting a particular tat by someone who has coined an amazing personal style, i cant blame you. tim hendricks does amazing work, and nobody does it like him. hell, id love to be tattooed by him. but definitely not at miami ink. anyway, if ......
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.
Here you still seem to get that stamp of being "criminal". My personal opinion is
that I hope that tattooes would get even more common so the "stamp" of ......
yeah that 90210 kid does do it. so does freddie prinze jr. but they only have a small spattering of ink, not 'solid' ink. but hey, look at Danny Trejo! dude has made a career being 'that tattooed mexican guy'! thats awesome! now, that being said, could betty lipstick be the next 'Bond girl' well damnit she should be, but ......
it seriously depends on the girl.. there are a lot of girls out there who have really ruined a good thing with bad tattoos.. i seriously think girls need to stop with the tattoos on the lower back.. and i did recently meet a girl with a half sleeve of an octopus that just didn't match with her personality ......
yeah.. i figured it would somehow work out.. i just feel like all my tattoos so far have a real specific style to them... how do i post photos on this board? is my only option the gallery?...
go as quickly or as slowly as you want to its your friggen ink. the only ting i will tell you, though, is at 18 and 19 you really need to be sure you're getting things you'll want forever. i have a friend who finished his full sleeves by 20, and he's bummed, to be honest. he ......
i think it automatically type-casts an actor. having a few here and there, like johnny depp, isnt such a hindrance. you'd actually be surprised at how many actors have tattoos. however, the world is still stupid, judgemental, and closed-minded, so people with serious ink such as a sleeve, backpiece, or god forbid a neck tattoo, continue to be put ......
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 do think its stupid whe people get kanji or japanese without researching or knowing what it means. but i do have some kanji and japanese tats and i love them and i get tons of compliments on them. i've also had japanese people read them to me and they mean exactly what i knew they meant. i researched ......
the article sited above is from the original run of Inked!!! nice! but hey, i agree. if i was a tattooer, i wouldnt even do kanji tattoos. refuse. its ridiculous. i LOVE tradidional japanese art, i dont have it tattooed on me but i think its beautiful. im just not asian, yakuza, nor does that particular type of art hold ......
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.

wow! The colors, style, composition, it all blows me away!
I've always liked the traditional Japanese tattoo style and I like the fusion of the Americana elements. ...
very cool & reassuring! many artists think mixing syles in a big no-no. i started with japanese on my arm & i am currently in works with my artists to fuse a more traditional style with my japanese. it can deff be done...glad to see i'm not the only one who thinks so! :)...

i felt i should follow that up with the fact that i have more than one of those style of those tattoos right alongside some pretty high quality ones, so i'm not meaning to speculate on one's judgement, i too love crap tattoos. sometimes the aren't meant to be art, just bad ass! no ill will to ......
