In the classic poem The Divine Comedy, a timid poet reluctantly journeys through the nine circles of hell, while the video game version features Dante, a revenge-driven mercenary more interested in killing monsters than chronicling their suffering. Armed with a scythe he stole from Death and a holy cross, Dante fights his way through each ......

blog/name-her-man
    Kelly Ripa showed off the last name of her man as a new tattoo during last Wednesdays episode of "Live! with Regis and Kelly". Although Ripa decided to go against taking husband Mark Consuelos’ last name legally, she was willing to use her wrist to adorn their name "forever". Ripa got inked at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn, NY, and lets ......

    What better reason to get that new piece you've been itching for than to donate to children. This is the idea behind the successful event that has raised over $95, 000 in past 8 years for a local Children's Hospital. With help from visiting artists Wild Bill's tattoo shop in Roseville, CA puts on a 16 hour ......

blog/boondock-saints-gone-bad
    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 ......

music/fucked
    The career of Fucked Up has been, well, fucked up. The Canadian band blew up the formula for hardcore with the album Hidden World, played stunt gigs such as performing for 12 straight hours in NYC, then released The Chemistry of Common Life, a massive wall of noise complete with violins. Despite that, this two-CD collection of B-sides and alternate ......

blog/making-start
    Here at Inked Magazine, we have a unique voice within the tattoo industry. Sometimes people may think that we've gone too comercial with our style, but our Inked Girls special edition tells a different story. Though certain shoots were done specifically for this issue, many of the shoots came from submissions that we recieved from up and coming photographers ......

    Tattooed photographer, Matthew McDermott, captured a photograph of a young Haitian boy named Kiki. McDermott is known for taking iconic images of world events such as the September 11th attacks in New York City. This image of Kiki with his arms outstretched and a huge smile is sure to become an iconic representation of the rescue efforts after this devastating ......

    This past Monday, we celebrated two years of Inked. The bash was held at one of New York's hottest nightclubs, Avenue. The liquor, provided by Jack Daniels, was flowing freely all night. Guests partied as only the Inked crowd could party. Guests included actor Adrien Brody, Logan Neitzel and Stella Zotis of Project Runway, as well as other models ......

blog/lets-get-these-clarafied
    Ask your everyday person how to clean a piercing and i can majically guess their answer. Alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, or bactine. This is one thing that STILL makes me feel like smacking their head and saying they need a V8. In a time of the information super highway, cloning and A chanel on TV about EVERYTHIng under the sun ......

blog/where-we-come
    Ever wonder how some of your artists and piercers got into this industry.... We watch these tattoo and piercing shows and yet they never ask this one main question.... I find their roads to this industry are as diverse and interesting as the artist themselves.... For me i envied these artists for their talent and their knowledge but never had ......

games/dj-hero
    With gamers suffering from a Guitar Hero overdose, it’s time for turntables to take center stage. With consulting help from legendary artists Jay-Z and Eminem, this hip-hop take on Guitar Hero’s addictive gameplay wins over wannabe mix masters with its turntable controller that features a sample button, cross-fader, and a record platform for scratching. Playing as characters such ......

music/polar-bear-club
    Polar Bear Club’s debut album made best-of lists everywhere, but it takes until nearly the end of this follow-up for them to prove why. Not that Chasing Hamburg isn’t brilliant—it’s just that “One Hit Back,” a post-hardcore punch to haters everywhere, is so fist-pumping good that its shadow looms over the rest of the songs. “Living ......

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 ......

games/uncharted-2-among-thieves
    Picking up a couple of years after Sony’s blockbuster title Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, this sequel finds Abercrombie & Fitch adventurer Nathan Drake searching for the treasures of Marco Polo’s lost fleet. When Drake recovers historical documents indicating that Polo was searching for the mythical city of Shangri-La, he retraces the famed merchant’s footsteps into a hail of ......

    With record TV ratings, raucous fistfights, and the dazzling skill of young stars Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby, hockey is back. The NHL’s newfound success injects new life into this award-winning series. Players now scrum along the boards while fighting for possession, score from their knees, and bat pucks out of the air for goals worthy of the highlight ......

music/q-tip
    Legendary MC Q-Tip can do whatever the hell he wants. After revolutionizing hip-hop with A Tribe Called Quest and paving the way for Kanye, Tip is more experimental than ever these days. On this album, delayed since 2001 and remixed for release, the lyrical master sounds more like Curtis Mayfield than a mic-rockin’ MC. He weaves his trademark flow through ......

games/brutal-legend
    Roadies spend the majority of their time hauling equipment and tuning instruments. Not Eddie Riggs. After he spills blood on his badass belt buckle in a backstage mishap, the world’s best roadie is transported to an alternate universe ripped straight from a heavy metal album cover. Under the reign of evil Lord Doviculus and his glam rockin’ minion General ......

travel/honduras
    Ten years ago, the only tattoos in Honduras belonged to gang members. These days, you’re more likely to see them on expats who work in the country’s burgeoning adventure travel industry. One of them is Myles Bean, a rafting guide living in La Ceiba who has the words “I’m Alive” and “Me Too” on top of his ......

travel/cape-town
    If the unbelievable geography, waterfront restaurants, and nearby vineyards aren't reason enough to visit Cape Town, South Africa, consider this news from Damian McGrath, the founder of tattoos.com: “Tattooing down there is sort of what tattooing was like 15 to 20 years ago in North America. There are lots of emerging artists, and the scene isn't as ......

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. And this month, as musicians, movie makers, and techno-geeks descend upon Austin for the South By Southwest Conferences and Festival (March 7 through 16), the weirdness continues. If you plan on checking out SXSW ......

drive/max
    You couldn't have fit more muscle on the original Yamaha V-MAX. With its massive V4 engine crammed into the frame, the V-MAX was one of the most muscular bikes on the streets back in 1985. And with the exception of a few tweaks and cosmetic touches along the way, the model remained largely unchanged until it was pulled from ......

article/tracy-morgan
    Tracy Morgan isn't shy. Anyone who's caught him on a talk show knows he's as quick to strip down as he is to declare his intentions to impregnate half of the audience. (A quick YouTube search will yield plenty of results, especially with the keywords "Tracy Morgan is wasted"). This rep is bolstered by Tracy Jordan, the ......

article/pinstripe-wizards
    The history of pinstriping stretches back in one long, straight, hand-painted line all the way to horse-drawn carriages and further back in time to cave walls. What’s certain is this: you can’t talk about pinstriping without hearing the name Kenny Howard, best known as Von Dutch. Thought to be the granddaddy of the art, Von Dutch was an ......

article/180-proof
    While you're reading this, Tila Tequila is taking over the world. Since rocketing into the libidos of men and women everywhere with her saucy MySpace photos, the pintsized model has created an entire industry based on her sex-icon status. She still maintains her MySpace page (with over three million friends and counting), her MTV show A Shot at Love ......

inked-spots/true-blue-tattoo
    Smack in the middle of the Red River District, glows the cool neon of True Blue Tattoo. Founded by the late Vanessa Alvarez, this two-fl oor ex-carriage house (the first floor is for tattooing; the second fl oor, known as “Glory Hole,” is strictly for piercings) is home to nine full-time tattoo artists and three piercers. The shop can get ......

inked-spots/kadillac-tattoo
    “First and foremost, we’re a neighborhood shop,” declares Cosmo, the owner of 13-year-old Kadillac Tattoo. “This ain’t no hipster hangout.” Located in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia, this clean, bright shop prides itself on being a mainstay of a neighborhood that has struggled to stay true to its blue-collar history, despite the chic shops and restaurants that have ......

inked-spots/chinatown-tattoo
    Walk around the streets of Philadelphia and you’ll quickly notice it’s a city that takes tattooing seri ously. “In the summer you’ll see ink all over everyone,” says Chinatown Tattoo co-owner Braden Kendall. “It crosses all genres; I’ve sleeved out two doctors recently.” The shop sees a lot of action from walk-in clients—“We do names ......

inked-spots/philadelphia-eddies-tattoo-haven
    Yes, you read it correctly; this shop is also called Philadelphia Eddie’s. “This was the first shop that Eddie Funk opened on Fourth Street,” explains Troy Timpel, who has owned the business along with Furry since 2002. “When he retired he offered ownership of the different locations to the guys who helped run them. We’re keeping his legacy ......

inked-spots/philly-ink
    Philly Ink may be off the beaten path, but it’s well worth the trip into the Port Richmond section of the city. The shop, another former Philadelphia Eddie’s, is now run by Danny Emery, who grew up just six blocks away. “I used to get chased out as a kid because I was always coming around wanting to ......

    Sure, Olde City Tattoo has a street-shop vibe, but they’re really the city’s go-to guys for quality custom pieces. The shop has a staff of six artists, so you can be sure that someone will give you what you’re look ing for, whether it’s a portrait or black-and-gray piece from owner Jason Goldberg or Japanese stylings ......

    “I would rather be here, than anywhere else,” says Chicago Tattoo Company’s shop manager and artist Nick Colella. “I don’t care what kind of shit goes down, as long as I am in a tattoo shop.” He adds, with a chuckle, “I’m lucky that I have a wife that understands that.” Originally opened in the ’60s by ......

    “Please note that I am a one-man operation so I am not always able to get back to people as quickly as I would like.” This is the apologetic ending to the voice mail greeting of Cherry Bomb’s sole artist and operator, Patrick Cornolo, who has had to deal with a lot of big changes this year. Located on ......

inked-spots/zulu-tattoo
    Spirituality rules at this famed establishment, whose client list includes Montel Williams and Dennis Rodman. “Western tattooing, unfortunately, is about money,” says owner Roni Zulu. “But the art of tattooing is a very ancient, very sacred art form.” Concerned with learning and preserving the primordial cultural aspects of the craft, Zulu frequently travels to places like the Tahitian islands and ......

inked-spots/mark-mahoneys-shamrock-social-slub
    “People come by the store all the time just to play pool,” laughs Shamrock manager Cody McCarthy. “That’s why it’s called the ‘Social Club.’” While the shop has famously tattooed celebrities like Angelina Jolie and Bruce Willis, its real claim is being the place to go for black and gray work. “When you talk about black and gray ......

inked-spots/purple-panther-tattoo
    You won’t find any heavy metal music blaring or stereotypical “tough guys” (read: assholes) with needles at this unpretentious shop. Specializing in high-quality, custom work and cover-ups, owner M. Alder stresses that it’s not about attitude at the Purple Panther. “The goal is to create an environment where people feel comfortable coming in with their own ideas,” says ......

inked-spots/mister-cartoon
    “Everybody thinks I came into the tattoo world with a red carpet at my feet,” says venerated artist Mister Cartoon. It’s easy to understand why this misconception exists: Cartoon was already well known in as a muralist and illustrator before becoming interested in tattooing. “Being a professional artist was a handicap,” he says. “I would have had an easier ......

inked-spots/everlasting-tattoo
    “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 ......

inked-people/set-your-goals
    Check the walls of your local music venue and there’s a good chance you’ll find a Set Your Goals sticker plastered somewhere. It’s a visual reminder of how much things have changed since the band joined the Epitaph Records roster. “On our old label, we would get, like, 100 stickers and they would be in black and ......

inked-people/burn-halo
    When Orange County hardcore band Eighteen Visions ended their 11-year run in 2007, frontman James Hart had mixed feelings. He was disappointed but excited by the prospect of starting anew. Since the 2004 album Obsession, Hart had been pushing the band in a more hard rock direction, and some members had pushed back. Now that he was on his own ......

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/heather-gabel
    When Heather Gabel created Alkaline Trio's iconic skull and heart logo through a happy accident with a photocopier, she had no idea the countless tattoos it would inspire. "I was at Kinko's making a flyer and was like, 'I'm just going to throw this in here,'" she remembers. "I was 19 and pretty heavily into skulls at ......

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/shirly-brener
    "I've gotten to play a lot of drug addicts and hookers this year," muses actress Shirly Brener. The Bardot-esque blonde, who possesses a paradoxical mix of girl-next-door charm and femme fatale-worthy dark sensuality, revels in her distinctiveness. She's as comfortable portraying the bubbly love interest in a romantic comedy as a depraved addict in an indie flick. "Once ......

inked-people/sebastien-grainger
    Sebastien Grainger, one half of the now-defunct Canadian dance-punk duo Death From Above 1979, is many things, but a great parallel parker is not one of them. In fact, the 29-year-old doesn't have a driver's license. "I had a driving lesson this morning at 10 a.m.," Grainger says, laughing, via telephone from Toronto. "I always lived in ......

inked-people/carolyn-spence
    Hollywood hideaway Chateau Marmont, with its cadre of celebutantes, fringed lanterns, and butterfly-festooned decor, has always been known more for its trysts and tragedies than its food. But with the installation of executive chef Carolyn Spence, former chef de cuisine at New York City's Spotted Pig, both Chateau and Bar Marmont are finally building some culinary cred. “It's ......

inked-people/ted-nemeth
    "Shit, where am I?" furniture designer Ted Nemeth mumbles into the phone before asking to reschedule our interview, blaming his confusion on a booze-fueled night out. Apparently, a pre-noon phone interview on a Saturday is a ridiculous request for this Brooklyn-based designer. You see, Ted Nemeth Designs is no Ethan Allen. Both make ottomans and end tables, but only one ......

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 ......

    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 ......

inked-people/nina-sky
    When music wonder twins Nina Sky took over dance floors with their 2004 hit, "Move Ya Body," even they weren't sure what they were doing. "Our first album was written about things we hadn't yet experienced in our lives," says Nicole Albino, one half of the duo. "We were 18, straight out of high school." After an exhaustive ......

inked-people/rachel-larratt
    Rachel Larratt, also known as Chica Loca, takes a hair-pin turn at 129 miles per hour in her 2006 Lotus Elise and finds that the preceding evening's rain has washed away a large chunk of the stretch of Mexican roadway where she's been racing. She pilots around it and continues on, just a streak of gunmetal in Mexico ......

    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. In a quiet neighborhood east of Hollywood, down winding tree-lined streets, sit homes belonging to Luke Wilson, Terry Gilliam, Barack Obama, and Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, who is standing in his living ......

inked-people/jules-kim
    Jewelry designer Jules Kim doesn’t like to be ripped off, so the fact that her studio is in the heart of New York City’s Chinatown, the home of knockoffs, is a bit ironic. Not long after launching her high-end jewelry line Bijules in 2004 and seeing her work worn by everyone Gwen Stefani to Rihanna, Kim started a ......

inked-people/keril
    Five years ago, just before Estonian pop singer Kerli turned 16, she asked her conservative mother to let her get a tattoo of a “little Chinese hieroglyph” on the back of her neck for a birthday present and reward for her academic prowess. “She said, “No fucking way’” Kerli remembers. Instead, her mom challenged er to find every book in ......

A couple of years after moving from Albany, New York, to Los Angeles, In This Moment frontwoman Maria Brink almost gave up on her dream. It was mid-2004 and she was living alone, had no friends, hated her day job, and none of ......

inked-people/mitchell-binder
    There is a balance to accessorizing: You want to look like you’re not about to take shit from anyone, but you don’t want to over do it and end up more Prince than punk. For some, this balance is an inherent trait. If you’re not one of these people, meet Mitchell Binder. Binder started his accessories company ......

inked-people/tara-mcpherson
    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 ......

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/chris-santos
    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 ......

    Get out your friggin’ checkbook, because these guys are ready to take it and put it to good use. And when you’re 60 or something, you’re going to have a pile of cash to spend on stuff that the elderly need, like Viagra. But seriously, Thrasher Funds, which manages a mutual fund and a privately held, pooled investment ......

inked-people/mike-jones
    Mike Jones is known for giving out his cell phone number, screen name, and e-mail address to fans, but, ironically, he can be a hard man to get in touch with. Some calls to him go straight to a busy signal, and once, while attempting to schedule this interview, his manager said he had just dropped his cell phone in ......
