A hulking Russian ex-swordfighter with tattooed forearms - sounds like the lead in a new Guy Ritchie flick, no? Alas, you will have to watch old DVD's if you're hankering for violence and British slang. Because this rugged new character is none other than Santa Claus, the benevolent lead in Dreamworks' recently released "Rise of the Guardians." Seldom have ......

   

 

Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast, tearing its way through cities, towns and beaches alike. Luckily, the Rockaway Renegades are ready and willing to give back to those who have lost everything.

The Renegades were formed by Jessica Pierik, Holly Jane Butler, Becca Roach, Sara Blake and Norah Gurley. Their efforts have grown exponentially within just a few days. This ...

Okay guys, so this is another totally self-indulgent post on my part. I'm a Converse fan through and through. You just can't go wrong with a good pair of Chucks. I'm also an East-Coaster, but I still think you should check out the new collaboration between ShoeBiz and Converse for their "San Francisco" City Pack. San Fran ...

    Our September Inked Girl, Alesandra Nicole, appears in a music video for Anthony Cruz's song "Waiting on Nibiru." She's looking pretty good in the video, and her cover of Inked even makes a very special appearance!...

    Alesandra Nicole is a gun-toting badass. Okay, so her gun collection doesn’t go past the tattoos on her hips, but the fact that you’re going to fall in love with her is a sure shot. ...

    Rocket scientists are supposed to be dull. Male. Nerdy. That is not the case with the brilliant Sonia Sanchez, a heavily tattooed systems engineer who works on research and development for satellites at a powerful aerospace firm. ...

   

Many guys who design motorcycles get into it during their autumn years, after a long life of hard riding. But for 36-year-old Roland Sands, it was a near-death experience that coaxed him into fabricating...

    "The thing about fads is that they'll come and go," says L.A.-via-Brooklyn jewelry maker Rich Sandomeno. "But I'm into shit that's gonna last forever. Even the work boots I own have lasted me 15 years." Whether it's footwear, the engines he rebuilt during his former career as an industrial diesel mechanic, his handmade Spragwerks ......

    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 ......

    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 ......

    It’s freezing in Boston, but Sandy Poirier pays the cold weather no mind—he’s sporting his typical uniform. “If I die, I want to be buried in a rock and roll T-shirt, tight jeans, Chrome Hearts jewelry, and sneakas,” he says, with a voice that sounds like a scratched-up recording of John F. Ken­nedy. At first glance ......

    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. The restaurant’s team of chefs and line cooks are readying themselves for the onslaught ahead: 3,000 plates will be passed through ......

    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 ......

    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 ......

    Transformers hottie Megan Fox showed off her new ink on the beaches of Maui with boyfriend Brian Austin Green. Inspired by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, Fox got, "Those who danced were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music," tattooed on her right side. This would be tattoo number 9 for the actress. We'll be anxiously ......

    The other day, our friends at Tabasco, made us a tailgating style lunch with all the fixings. Macaroni and cheese, baked chicken, ice cream sandwiches, and more. Everything they brought was made with Tabasco hot sauce, and I have to say that it reminded me of living in the south. All of us at Inked definitely appreciated the lesson on ......

    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 ......

    What?! Free burritos for life? How? San Francisco's Casa Sanchez offers free burritos for life if you get the company's logo tattooed on you. The logo isn't offensive and kind of cute, and well who couldn't use lunch for free for the rest of their life. Times are hard but wouldn't a taco or burrito ......

    The sequel to the bad ass cult film, Boondock Saints, has finally released its sequel this month; I’m shocked it made it to theaters. All of the components that made this movie memorable have been replaced with bad acting, terrible writing, and random wind tunnels. Willem Dafoe has been replaced with Julie Benz, "Rita" from Dexter. Instead of Dafoe ......

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 ......

    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 ......

    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 ......

    There are thousands of reason to visit Milan (the food, the art, the women, to name just a few), but the reason to visit now is the Milan Tattoo Convention, which takes place February 8 through 10. For the 13th annual convention, planners are expecting some of the world’s best artists. So check in with your favorites, but definitely ......

    On your next visit to the Caribbean, skip Aruba and the Bahamas and stay in Saint Lucia. The difference? Instead of flat sandy shores, the 27-mile-long island is a teardrop-shaped mass of rainforest-covered peaks so perfectly triangular and green they look painted on. ...

    Steve McQueen nailed the concept of cool in the 1968 film Bullitt with his portrayal of Frank Bullitt, a San Francisco police lieutenant who floors a souped-up Ford Mustang through one of the most exciting cinematic chase scenes in history (and makes turtlenecks with sport coats cool in the process)....

    The most prolific era of the American muscle car started in 1970, when growling engines, screeching tires, and acrid blue smoke were lit in the night by the glow of a thousand red taillights. 1970 was also the year the original Dodge Challenger was introduced. And while its place in muscle car history could be argued ad nauseam over a ......

    If you're into neon signs and lots of flash on the walls, then there are plenty of tattoo shops to choose from on the streets of Florida. But when Phil Holt opened RedLetter1 in 2003, he wanted something different for both his customers and himself. "When I first opened, I had just gotten back from Mick's shop in ......

    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 ......

    “We are more or less the anti-shop shop,” says Everlasting Tattoo’s Henry Lewis about this staple on the San Francisco tattoo scene. “We’re more like a fine arts tattoo gallery.” Why? To begin, there is no flash of any kind in the store. Instead the walls are decorated with paintings by the artists, many of who have had ......

    Run by Bill Salmon with Juni, his wife of 20 years, Diamond Club is anything but your average mom-and-pop shop. Both Salmons have spent their whole lives tattooing, mostly as a team. “Working with my wife everyday is fun stuff,” says Bill. “It’s a good time everyday.” Before opening its doors to the public just a few years ago ......

    When you ask Blackheart owner Scott Sylvia what sets his studio apart from the sea of shops in the Bay Area, you are likely to hear words like “established” and “tradition” somewhere in his response. And, “We don’t suck,” he says seriously. “There are only a handful of good shops left in the area,” Sylvia says with a combination ......

    Nate Appleman, executive chef at San Francisco’s acclaimed A16 and SPQR restaurants, didn’t inherit his culinary chops from his parents. “They don’t cook,” says the chef. However, Appleman’s father did pass on another lifelong passion. When Mr. Appleman, a physician, returned from a business trip with a small spider inked on his leg, the future chef ......

    Joseph Ari Aloi has been known in the tattooing world for 14 years as JK5, although few stop to ask what's behind the initials, instead focusing on his trippy custom work that rocks the collars, hands, and bellies of Williamsburg, Brooklyn— home to Saved Tattoo, where he's been tattooing for the past two years. When an artist marries ......

    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 ......

    There’s something different about San Francisco scarf designer Twinkie Chan. Several things actually. First, there’s the way she talks. Twinkie doesn’t say things like “Look at that” and “My parents said.” Instead, she says, “Take a gander” and “The parental response was.” The speech pattern is most likely the result of her San Francisco day job. She ......

    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 ......

    “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 ......

    The other side of Miamy lurks right behind the sandy shores and sweaty nightclubs of South Beach. From the proud Cuban communities like Little Havana to the mean streets of Liberty City, the city has another side that isn’t all sunshine and martinis. Like his hometown, there’s another side to Pitbull. Somewhere behind the bling and club bangers ......

    Sitting down with artist Tara McPherson you’re likely to get a lesson in physics these days: “When you take a super bright object, like a quasar, and place it in front of a massive object, it creates the illusion of four identical objects surrounding the original. That’s called Einstein’s Cross gravitational lens.” To hear this pouring so ......

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!...
