A tad of localness in a few articles about local artists in articles about an experienced guy, a relative newbie and an Ink TV star.

 ‘Stability important at Lousiville tattoo shops’ discusses mobility within the industry, at least on a local scale.

 A pretty interesting point made in ‘Chinese tattoos are the stamp of a new generation but still bad art.’

 German article by an author ‘amazed’ by American tattoo trends (which seems to be a trend on its own); this time it’s ‘armpit tattoos’ (with a gallery!).

 A bit of gossip from the entertainment world: body painting allegedly helpful for 50 Cents and others.
