A little more information on the bullied kid with an unsightly tattoo here.
A pretty interesting one about American Consitution and tattoos from CA where one tattoo artists tries to defend his right by means of the First Amendment.
Oklahoma lifted tattooing ban barely 4 years ago or so and here we have local artists discussing how the ‘Miami Ink effect’ has changed the tattoo culture. Interestingly enough, in Europe, especially in Germany (or so I heard from two German friends), memorial tattoos are referred to as ‘Miami Ink tattoos.’ If you watched even one episode of the show only, you should know why.
