Tattoo Mailbag: N.B. tattoo industry needs regulation: piercer

Calls for the regulation of tattoo parlours in Nova Scotia have given New Brunswick tattoo artists and piercers hope for regulations in their province. In New Brunswick, anyone can do tattooing or piercings, and they can be done anywhere.” Read: N.B. tattoo industry needs regulation: piercer – CBC |

For chefs, as for prisoners, soldiers and NBA point guards, a tattoo is a mark that can be worn with the uniform.” Read: Chefs With Tattoos – LA Weekly |

 “A while back, we showed you people crazy enough to tattoo their favorite celeb’s face on their body. But lately we’ve been noticing a whole lot of tattoos paying tribute to movies.
