travel/singapore You wouldn't think a tattoo convention would be welcome in a strict city-state that has been criticized for its disregard of individual freedoms-it banned chewing gum for 12 years (1992-2004) and still imposes hefty fines for things like forgetting to flush a public toilet or spitting in public. But Singapore's government hasn't found a way to stop ......
travel/austin "Keep Austin Weird." That's the mantra that has maintained this bastion of free thinking in a state that's home to "thinkers" like President Bush.

If you plan on checking out SXSW ......
inked-spots/city-ink When City of Ink cofounders Miya Bailey and Tuki Carter moved their tattoo shop Prophet Art from Asheville, NC, to Atlanta in 2000, they wanted a new start, both for the shop and their art.

inked-spots/keone-nunes Don’t even think about asking Keone Nunes to tattoo a dagger or dolphin on you. “All I do is Hawaiian tattoos, designs inked for various cultural reasons,” says Nunes. These designs (bold, geometric shapes) have names, meanings, prayers and can reflect the genealogy of the individual. Nunes, who has been tattooing since 1990, works nontraditionally—he has no shop ......
inked-spots/mister-cartoon “Everybody thinks I came into the tattoo world with a red carpet at my feet,” says venerated artist Mister Cartoon.

inked-people/bronx The Bronx have a new album out—but you might not realize it. That’s because the Los Angeles band’s third album, like the two that came before it, is titled simply The Bronx. It’s part of the band’s plan to keep things simple—a plan that also includes recording at the group’s own studio and ......
inked-people/laura-santana 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 ......
inked-people/civet Most artists are inspired by art they love, but it was a particularly bad backyard show by a Los Angeles punk group that spurred singer Liza Graves to form a band. "I went home and started my own band because I was so disappointed," Graves remembers. She teamed with her sister, guitarist Suzi Homewrecker, bassist Jacqui Valentine, and drummer Danni ......
inked-people/sandy-poirier 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 ......
inked-people/jonathon-davis Web exclusive: Check out our gallery of Korn tattoos here. Upload yours. Jonathan Davis is the last guy in America you’d expect to be well adjusted.

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/theo-kogan “I decided I wanted to be a clown when I was 7 years old,” says Theo Kogan, lead singer of Theo and the Skyscrapers. The whole clown thing didn’t quite work out, but, she says, “I think in a way I sorta became a clown on my own, especially with Lunachicks [Kogan’s first band]. That was taking clown ......
inked-spots/think-tank When Th’ink Tank Tattoo Studio and Art Gallery opened in Denver it gave the ink-loving folks in the Mile-High City a quality place for tattoos and a stellar gallery space.

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 'Symmetry' (158 words)i started off with just black tattoos (but that was more to do with calls-himself-an-artist that i went to for them), but i have since added some colour. not alot though, now that i think about it... i think it really depends on what the design is. for example, i have a beautiful maori tribal piece on my foot, VERY ......

Reply to 'What Sports?' (58 words)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.

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.
