UK Industry Awards Winners 2010!
Here’s a post I’d written almost two weeks ago now, yet because of a technical problem, I’ve only realised now it never actually went up on the site.

New Website: Tattoo Road Trip
There’s a new kid in town, and I’m already jealous. This the new website by Bob Baxter shares the name of his book, which looks at tattoos all over America and Canada, so I guess it’s safe to assume this site will work towards the same theme. As you can see, it looks beautiful, … Read more
Is Angel the Youngest Tattoo Blogger In the World? Probably!

New York Adorned’s New Site
After becoming so popular that their Facebook page actually has too many friends, New York Adorned have decided they’ll only be uploading new pictures and information to their Tumblr site. They say this is a new site, but I can see updates from last year on this thing- which means I’ll be wasting a lot … Read more
Sound Answers to Silly Questions
Let’s face it, non- tattooed people sometimes have their own ideas about those who have tattoos. Some of these thoughts are good, some bad. I never really thought I’d see the day when the tattooed amongst us became automatically able to dish out advice on sex and dating though! Right now, Nerve.com has a feature … Read more
