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/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/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 ......
Reply to 'It's That Time Of Year Again...' (147 words)I generally get a decent tax return but that's primarily because I am self-employed and put away far more money in a tax account than I need to. Having a good accountant means a world of difference. People like to think that only the wealthy have accountants, and only because they can afford them, but in reality a good ......
Reply to ' L.A. ' (63 words)I never really figured true to have celebrity status. But there are also tons more shops. Spotlight tattoo on melrose is great too. Juan puente tattoos there and some other greats.
As far as high voltage goes. There are other tattooers that work there too that are not featured on any shows. Perhaps their prices are more friendly. Couldnt say ......
Reply to 'Kids With Tattooed Parents Treated Differently' (171 words)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.

that I hope that tattooes would get even more common so the "stamp" of ......

Reply to 'Just Me, Or Are Some Of The Inked Girls Gross?' (57 words)Sad Sad Sad, There are a lot beautiful women but no tats,or one little tat you can barley see. I thought tats were the reason for voting in the gallery.

Reply to 'Is It Possible To Be A Heavily Tattooed Actor?' (262 words)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 ......

Reply to 'Deciding On A Tattoo.' (192 words)i have to agree with the previous people. i've never just gone into a shop and looked through the flash and picked something, although i know alot of people who do. all of my ink has meaning to me, it represents something, its not just to look pretty. the shop i used to go to was, like, 12 hours ......
