Let’s first juxtapose modern tattoos shops studios: very upscale Club Tattoo in Las Vegas and a small, just opened place in Austria; both do the same job, both strive to deliver the highest quality possible and yet they send quite different a message, don’t they?
Technical aspects in ‘new line of premium tattoo needles’ and a really interesting one about ‘small devices playing ever-bigger role in medicine’ (tongue magnet(ic implant?) mentioned here).
Something for my anthropology section: ‘seven sacred ceremonies’ that, a.o., describe briefly the Sun Dance.
Two pretty interesting questions raised in ‘is tattooing a child worse than piercing ears, circumcision?’ (make sure to check the comments posted by readers!) and ‘should tattooing animals be considered cruelty?’ (another one on the subject).
And let’s end with a request from a German online newspaper: if you have tattoos and some cool stories behind them, consider sharing them with the newspaper and its readers 
Dear God! Ania I tell you, you know how to make people’s heads roll don’t ya
As a feline lover I have to say that tattooing your cat (while I am loathe to admit it looks really cool) it’s still WRONG! I don’t care if they knocked that cat out or not, kitty knows nothing about aftercare and that’s pretty barbaric if you ask me!
As for the guy who tattooed his 3 y/o son WTF is wrong with people? I have loved and wanted a tattoo as soon as I knew what they were however tattoos are forever and there’s NO way I’d tattoo a child under 5
I’m kidding of course! I mean seriously, the child should have a choice in this matter!
