So I’m back with many cool memories and a brand new forked tongue (I’ll post a sort of experience about it on here later when I know how the healing goes to make it more informative!); still plowing through lots of links to read and sort but here’s a small update from the last week:

news from MA: new state bill on body piercing?

Local shops: ‘Albuquerque’s Ink Tank’ from NM and ‘Liberty Tattoo’ from IL; also an interesting article about possible shops in a small CA town where they have a limit on number of shops allowed in town: Vista.

An article about tattoos in South Korea brings in a few interesting things on the subject.

From MD an article about an interesting intiative: ‘dermatologists educate body workers and tattoo artists.’

Something lighter in German for good measure: ‘tattoo quiz’
