Kesha, singer of such hits as "TiK ToK" and….anyway, she just brought her body art count up to six with a tattoo that says "Suck it!" on the inside of her lower lip. Known the world over for her classiness, Kesha took decorum and demure reservation to new heights with this move, sure to reverberate through time as a gesture of grace and elegance of unrivaled accomplishment. What is not known is whether this stunning new look is meant as a gentle rebuke or a clever and subtle invitation. Kesha, woman of mystery, eludes us once more.

The Osaka crackdown on tattoos continues, as their mayor keeps pushing for workers to disclose their body art, and those who own up to it are either having them removed or being moved to "less visible" jobs. In related news, Osaka sucks ass.

Anyone up for a road trip? The Texas Tattoo Showdown is coming to El Paso on July 13-15. The festival is a combination of body art and music, which promises to not measure up to United Ink, our tattoo convention at Nassau Coliseum July 27-29, which we would never promote at the expense of another tattoo event. Ever.
