blog/harry-styles-tween-heartthrob-and-tattoo-fiend Though One Direction's shaggy-haired cutie Harry Styles recently turned 18, he's wasted no time enjoying the spoils of his new legal rights (18 is the UK's minimum age for tattooing). Harry's already accumulated 24 different tats, including a five-pointed star symbolizing the members of his band, a padlock on his forearm, a birdcage, and several new ...

Roberts told Big League Stew, "When I first started getting tattoos, I never expected to get a lot. Over the course of my life, everything started happening for a reason. If people want to know why, I'll definitely explain the reasons ......
icons/robert-atkinson L.A. native Robert Atkinson went from airbrushing T-shirts at theme parks and fairs to outfitting tattoo collectors with body suits tailored in such a way to make the artwork appear organic on the body, as if the client had been born with his powerful Japanese-inspired art on them...

blog/kate-moss-new-tattoos-send-bloggers-frenzy Supermodel Kate Moss' supposed "million dollar tattoos" from the late artist Lucian Freud, have been a hot topic this week. However, it's unclear whether she paid anything for them at all.
As a young man in the Navy, Freud gave sailors rough tattoos using ink and a scalpel. He offered his services to Moss after she expressed interest in ......
blog/ny-islanders-fans-get-inked Coming in the next issue of ESPN Magazine, they report on the NY Islanders bold move to generate fan appreciation by opening up a tattoo shop in the arena. Although there are rumors that the Islanders will leave after their four year lease is up, die hard fans have no problem getting their permanent team memorabilia. Islanders' official tattoo shop ......
blog/jager-gets-some-ink 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. To fit the bill for the Inked party, Jägermeister teamed up with tattoo artist artist Joseph Aloi, who adorned the tap machine as he saw fit.
When we asked ......
blog/no-tattoos-nfl-star-cam-newton In a recent interview with Charlie Rose of PBS, No. 1 draft pick Cam Newton said that Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson asked him to stay clear of tattoos and piercings. Newton, who does not currently have any ink, had no problem with the request; however, we can't help but wonder if his $22 million contract calmed woes about ......

music/walter-schreifels Walter Schreifels is probably best known as a member of acts such as Gorilla Biscuits, Quicksand, and Rival Schools, but his first release under his own name shows that when the distortion is stripped away, Schreifels truly shines. An Open Letter to the Scene features everything from folk-inspired rockers (“She Is to Me”) and jangly tracks reminiscent of Teenage Fanclub ......
music/goldfrapp Whatever Goldfrapp do—from thumping electronica to glammed up romps—they do it for the dance floor. The British electronic music duo’s fifth full-length, Head First, is loaded with pulsating pop gems, such as “Alive,” that are a step away from the baroque pop of their previous album—and tailor-made for getting down. While Head First does occasionally get ......
music/dr-dog Dr. Dog have always prided themselves on their lo-fi aesthetic, so it’s slightly odd that they worked with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, The Vines) on their latest. Thankfully, the improved production enhances the band’s sound on harmony-rich songs like “Shadow People.” While Shame, Shame still teems with the band’s brand of psychedelia, confessional songs like “I ......
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/paramore When a young band like Paramore explodes out of nowhere (Franklin, TN?) there are always repercussions. On their third album, the group’s pint-sized singer with the giant voice, Hayley Williams, outlines the trail of mistrust and broken relationships. Fame has taught her that you “can’t be too careful anymore” (“Careful”), and later, on “Feeling Sorry,” she looks back ......

Under the reign of evil Lord Doviculus and his glam rockin’ minion General ......
drive/going-topless One surefire way to start a fight: tell a gearhead that the newest generation of Chevrolet Corvette might challenge the sports car supremacy of the Porsche. It’s the type of argument that will probably end with a tire iron to the head. It’s also true. The new generation of Chevrolet Corvettes have ushered in a whole new approach ......
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 ......

Unlike many of the tattoo parlors on the island, A Tiki embraces island lifestyle with its laid-back, open atmosphere and friendly staff.

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/tomato-tattoo When Tomato Tattoo owner Robert Hixon set out to name his shop, he jokingly suggested an unusual moniker to his girlfriend. “In our history, tomato is symbolic of love,” he says. “So I threw it out there and the more we thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.” The name does seem perfect for the little shop ......
inked-spots/spotlight-tattoos The difference between Spotlight and a lot of the other shops out there is evident as soon as you walk in. “Most shops in LA, or the world even, just have Xeroxed shit on the walls,” gripes artist Charlie Roberts. But at Spotlight, Roberts points out, “We’ve got original flash.” Much of that flash, it’s important to note ......
inked-people/bangladesh Music producer Shondrae Crawford, a.k.a. Bangladesh, is known for creating beats so original that they sometimes cause a problem—no one can rhyme to them. "I never thought of my sound as that unique," admits the 30-year-old music producer. "But people kept telling me it was like nothing they'd ever heard before. It's foreign to their ......
inked-people/chase-kusero Imagine you're a Hollywood hairstylist working on a movie with Colin Farrell, whose hair you've been shampooing, blow-drying, and keeping reasonably coiffed for weeks. When the time comes that Farrell needs a cut, would you go near the boozy bigmouth with a pair of scissors? No, you'd probably call in reinforcements. And that's how Los Angeles ......
inked-people/nichole-east Nichole East's business card reads "Kid Robot, Toy Baroness." That says enough. As one of the first employees at quirky-cool adult toy company Kid Robot, she remembers when the team was so tiny that they were excited just to have business cards. "There were only maybe six or seven of us total," she recalls. "We had so many tasks ......
inked-people/new-found-glory Believe it: The Bible is better fodder for tattoo inspiration than it might seem. In fact, New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert probably wouldn't have gotten his first tattoo if it weren't for the good book. "When I was really little, my mom gave me this Bible. On the spine, there was a shield with a cross in ......
inked-people/tara-dakides Long before Tara Dakides was an X Games champ and leading lady of snowboarding, she was another 18-year-old having doubts about her next tattoo. "He had a twitchy eye," Dakides remembers of the tattooer who took a turntable in payment for a tattoo. "I should've known from that point that he probably wouldn't have done good work." She ......
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.

inked-people/h2o 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.

inked-people/cast-la-ink The Learning Channel's reality show L.A. Ink is a phenomenon. It's come on the scene and pummeled the ratings of every tattoo television show that came before, and its star, Kat Von D, is the hottest thing in heels right now.

inked-people/siri-garber Siri Garber, founder of Platform Public Relations in Los Angeles, has a groovy voice—a raspy, powerful one that probably makes some of her male clients think about pleasure, rather than business, when she picks up the phone. But this celebrity publicist’s throaty purr isn’t a result of barking orders. “I think some of us [in the public ......
inked-people/eagles-death-metal 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 ......
