article/army-two-tattooers

The most true-to-life digital tattoos of all time come to video gaming this month with the release of Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel.

That all changes with Electronic Art’s third installment of the Army ...

Tattoos were blazing last weekend at Philadelphia's Tattoo Art Convention. There's no better place to stare at a person endlessly without it being creepy or awkward.

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 ......

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.

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.

inked-people/horitaka

Ten years ago, when tattooer Horitaka traveled to Japan and sought out tattoo master Horiyoshi II with hopes of starting a back piece, he had no idea what he was truly beginning.

inked-people/scott-campbell

Tattooers’ names are tossed around in casual conversation all the time. But unless they’re starring in a popular TV series or have a multimillion-dollar clothing line named after them, most artists aren’t exactly recognizable to millions. Except maybe Scott Campbell. Whether you know his name or not, chances are you’ve seen his work, and not just the ......
