While you’re reading this, Tila Tequila is taking over the world. Since rocketing into the libidos of men and women everywhere with her saucy MySpace photos, the pintsized model has created an entire industry based on her sex-icon status. She still maintains her MySpace page (with over three million friends and counting), her MTV show, A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, was the second highest rated show on the network and, this fall, she’s publishing a book, Hooking Up with Tila Tequila. Your sex life will never be the same.

Actor Jason Mewes is standing in the living room of his Los Angeles home, taking off his shirt. Positioned in front of his laptop’s webcam, he shows off the “15 or 16” tattoos he’s acquired during his 34 tumultuous years. He lifts his shirt and motions first to an elaborate tribal design on his shoulder. “I got this one in Santa Cruz . . . and this one in Des Moines,” Mewes says. “This one’s from when I was 20, and I got this one in Utah after playing a prisoner with all these fake tattoos. The guy was gonna do a solid tribal on me, but I was like, “You know what, I want a face in there. Nothing too happy, though, not like a clown, you know?”

Three days had passed since Clara, a three-year-old English bulldog, was stolen outside a grocery store in Manhattan’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. The NYPD followed a few leads, but in a city with nearly 500 homicides a year, a missing dog was not exactly at the top of the local police blotter. Then a crew of intimidating-as-hell, tattoo-clad equalizers heard about the missing pooch from a neighborhood poster and hit the streets.

The Game

To say Jayceon “The Game” Taylor is a man of many contradictions is an understatement. An example: He grew up in Compton, Calif., gangbanging with the Bloods even though his own mom was once affiliated with the Crips. He’s a cocky son-of-a-bitch who’s never been afraid to publicly champion himself as the greatest rapper alive. At the same time, he exhibits near-monk-like humility when it comes to thanking his friends, family and hip-hop predecessors for paving the path of his success.

We hang out at home with Scott Shriner — the only tattooed member of Weezer — to talk marriage, ink and the band’s shocking sixth album.
In a quiet neighborhood east of Hollywood, down winding tree-lined streets, sit homes belonging to Luke Wilson, Terry Gilliam, Barack Obama and Weezer bassist Scott Shriner, who is standing in his living room in a stark white bathrobe looking a bit shocked to see INKED. The scene isn’t a wild rock star party with a hot tub full of groupies (this is Weezer after all).

Body Type: An Exploration of “Intimate Messages Etched in Flesh”
by Ina Saltz
Inked Magazine
Words have power. Words are precise and specific. That is one reason why so many of the newly tattooed choose to express their most deeply felt beliefs in the form of text. Words of devotion, words of defiance, words of pain, words of love — all are expressions of inner emotions made visible (and readable) on skin. Whether borrowed from literature, poetry, song lyrics, prayers, motivational phrases, names of loved ones or popular culture, words in all their glorious forms serve as inspiration for tattoos created out of letterforms.

Ink on Film
by Jennifer Goldstein
Inked Magazine
Warriors,” says makeup artist Naomi Donne, creator of temporary tattoo art for numerous movies. “That film was a revolutionary concept for makeup, it turned all of us in the industry around and set that whole fashion trend of very linear work in tattoos.” The movie, released in 1994, was based on the novel of the same name by New Zealand author Alan Duff. It followed an indigenous Maori family trying to make their way in urban Auckland and various moko — traditional Maori tribal tattoos — appear throughout the film. Although the movie may have heavily influenced tattoo design, it certainly wasn’t the first time ink was significantly featured on screen.
