News about the Biggest Tattoo Show on Earth were already posted here but this piece could be published only after the event took place:  ‘Mario Barth breaks world record hosting the show.’

 An interesting piece of news from Florida where the local senator, Eleanor Sobel, is going to visit a tattoo parlor to see herself what the whole tattoo deal really is about.

 Another take on tattoos and religion: ‘vicar to get tattoo to remember congregation’ and ‘San Antonio church believes tattoos are fine, obesity is not.’ I’d actually say ‘Amen’ to the latter one 😉

 Tattoos and jobs in a short article ‘tattoo me, tattoo you?’

 This British article focuses more on a canoe than on tattoos but it’s interesting anyway: ‘Canoe project for tattooed Maori.’

 Finally, something to look at: Kavadi shot in a Belgian post titled ‘the most bizarre piercings’ and an American gem ‘the best of the worst tattoos in mugshots.’
