I got to read about it on Zentastic first (and Shannon’s disclaimer right on the top of it really is heart-breaking as, personally, I think his writing on the subject was always very inspiring and I miss it a lot!) but here we have it in the news of sort, too: ‘FBI demands tattoo shops rat on customers.’

 Filled with portraits of people this one is going to be:

 Jews and tattoos in ‘my rose tattoo’ and ‘breaking the tattoo taboo’ which quotes Ami James.

 Another Ink TV star, Corey Miller, in an article showing the place he lives in. And another one in the ‘Ink TV’ vein but also discussing military tattoos in ‘tattoos are more than art for local marine.’

 This AZ article claims that ‘piercings is a cool job’ while this one from NV portrays the current situation in the local industry and hints on economy, too.

 Tattoo sleeves in a new book ‘Bloodwork: Sleeves.’

 With Halloween just being over, here are two somewhat related  articles: ‘one-day tattoos’ thanks to tattoo spray (looks like fake body art was a hit this year) and a nice frightening slideshow of scary tattoos.
