Luc Robataille, the legendary Los Angeles Kings player now has two reasons to celebrate. First, his former team won the Stanley Cup, and two, it has come to light that his likeness is now immortalized with a tattoo in the most elegant of places: a crazy fan lady's armpit. Yes Luc, that's the sweet stench of victory you smell, and your greatest admirer has also graced your chin with a magnificent "playoff beard" that was, no doubt, the single most important key to the King's improbable run to capture the Cup, hurling Devils fans into a pit of despair. A pit that sort of resembles Luc Robataille with a beard of pubes.

Angelina Jolie is not mellowing with age, though her Mother Teresa-like exploits may say otherwise. Angie still knows how to make a statement, though admittedly, the former "rebel without a cause/Billy Bob Thornton sidekick" is now all about radicalizing to benefit the greater good. It is in that spirit that Mrs. Jolie-Pitt has added to her formidable collection of tattoos with "Know Your Rights" proudly emblazoned across her upper back. The phrase is the title, reportedly, of her favorite Clash song, and it also fits perfectly into her efforts to help people worldwide know the rights they have, to better exercise them and prevent exploitation. We at Tattoo Lous would like to take this opportunity to endorse Angie's right to be awesome, which she exercises to perfection at all times.

Those crazy scientists are at it again, this time developing a "removable tattoo" that is placed on a tooth which monitors its health, detecting bacteria types and levels, allowing dentists to catch problems early on that could lead to much greater damage down the road. The small tattoo is made up of gold nanowires and silk threads from cocoons. Welcome to the future. No flying cars yet, but we got medical tooth tattoos!
