Who Owns Your Tattoo?
In my DVD collection right now is the Hangover II. I still haven’t seen it. I know, I suck. The Hangover II always reminds me of Marisa over at Needles and Sins, and her fascinated interest with the dramatics between the film’s makers and Mike Tyson’s tattooer. Honestly, you read that. Go on, you can … Read more

The new Debate over Permanent Make Up
A news story from last week has caused some real anger and debate over the laws over permanent make up. ITV News ran a story you can watch briefly here (apologies, UK only I think), which showed a girl who is 14 up here at ITV’s Newcastle studio (yes, I live there in the background, … Read more

BBC Supporting the Laws We Need: Finally!
Honestly, this news feels as if it’s come from nowhere, but it’s fantastic to see! The BBC has put their best reporters on the job to have a look at unlicensed tattooing, and how unsafe it can be. They’ve really pulled the boat out with this one, with an article, a few radio shows (one … Read more

Warning Over Child Tattoos
I was pretty amazed just yesterday when I was told by a friend of a woman bringing in her young teenager for a tattoo, then storming out when they were asked for proof of age- later that day I heard that I’m not the only one who’s astounded with this sort of thing happening. The … Read more
