The London Tattoo Convention this past weekend was fabulous. Check out my review for Suicide Girls News.
Loved meeting many of the girls as well as old friends I see every convention.
I was actually threatened -- like really harassed -- by some artists and collectors to get back to updating Needled.com so I think I'll have to wiggle my schedule around when I...

Erik Sprague aka The Lizardman is a freak. The 34-year-old Texas resident transformed himself from a doctoral candidate in philosophy to sideshow performer, with an estimated 650-700 hours of tattooing and other body modifications including several piercings, subdermal implants above each of his eyes, filed teeth, and a bifurcated tongue. This transformation and his performance art have earned him world-wide acclaim and landed him a...

As for all the hating, fuck off. Go hate on Tom Cruise.

Your tat articles are amazing. Thanks.
If I were to tattoo a portrait on me, it wouldn't be Betty Page or Betty Boop. It would be Ann Richards. Former Texas Governor, she was a champion for women's and gay rights. She had a sharp tongue and even sharper wit. She got her motorcycle license at age 60 and even did a self-mocking Doritos commercial while running a political consultancy company. She...

Thanks for leaving me a note. You have life skills you know, you say things that are right and good and true. Thanks 
I would like tattoos of the patterns on Ann Richards shirt. Ask Daniel to prepare some for me

I'm in Belgium but my mind is on New York.
All my friends made it out of the towers, some of their family and friends did not. It seems that we all know of someone who died. My sister, a doctor, worked at St. Vincent's Hospital -- the primary triage center -- that day. She refuses to talk about it but only said at the...

I was pissed off the the backdoor asshole way elected officials are trying to erode the rights of tattoo artists via zoning regulations, so I dedicated my latest Tattoo Revue to some ways people can take action against the neo-con fundies trying to legislate art via the Bible and not the Constitution.
Also, tomorrow I post my interview with the fabulous Margaret Cho where we...

Hola. I see you're coming to see us all at the London Tattoo Convention. Chances are there'll be an SGUK uber-meet at some point over the weekend (probably Saturday) so keep your eyes on the thread around the time and feel free to join us all. The same goes for any of the other US contingent who are planning on coming over for the weekend. It should be a goodun 
Margaret Cho could be the Suicide Girls' Den Mother. She's sporting some gorgeous Ed Hardy body art that winds around her waist, she's bumpin and grindin in her hot new burlesque show, and she loves naked tattooed women.
The comedic diva has won numerous awards for her human rights advocacy work including the Intrepid Award from the National Organization for Women, making feminism even foxier...

Thanx for the article, my wife and I really dig Mrgaret Cho's stand up and would love to see her perform up here in Canada. I am also going to my local video store to request they stock her DVD.
Wow, not too many guys here with comments. I feel Special!

Love Margaret Cho - have seen her stand-up act several times in dallas. Would love to see the burlesque show. Love the tats on her. Saw La ink when she got the one from Kat.
The Cho Show rocked - laughed my ass off (I wish ;-)

My latest Tattoo Revue is up on a new tattoo thriller, people who fall prey to Hollywood marketing, and court ordered tattoo removal.

I didn't see her shoes, but she was wearing really adorable wool gabardine pants, and a black blouse that was wicked tight, and it looked like she had a four pack under that shirt. She was in much better shape than I had expected. And much funnier than I had expected.
But really, she was performing at a place that served champagne out of plastic tumblers, so maybe she was just funny in comparison to everything else around me.

Just came back from Bonn, Germany -- I went to for an Art and Law symposium and then the Guggenheim in Bonn exhibit. I never studied art law in law school but since I've married an artist I've largely been self-taught reading a bunch of books and sites. But I think I would like to go back to school for an LLM (an advanced law...

No need for a long introduction. You already know the work of Mister Cartoon. You see it on MTV every time Eminem reveals the portrait of daughter on his right shoulder. When 50 Cent and Joy Bryant roll around naked in Get Rich or Die Tryin', they're both flashing Cartoon tattoos. Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Missy Elliot, Pharrell, Cypress Hill, Beyonce ... a veritable who's...

Made it back from Chios, Greece last night and banged out another Tattoo Revue despite the slow news week.
Greece was beautiful despite blackouts, fires and heat waves -- and wearing long sleeves at the beach when in the presence of family. Oh, well, my tattooist would kill me if I faded my sleeves and back with sun. He's waaay into keeping the blackness.
He...
