Rihanna, a celeb who frequents our news feed has said that each of her nearly 20 tattoos are of spiritual significance, from the Sanskrit lettering on her hip to the recent addition of her Egyptian Isis design across her lower chest. While her ink is about showing her connection to God, it's also about rebellion as she's talked about before. "Spiritual Rebellion" sounds like a pretty cool phrase; maybe for your next trip to the tattoo parlor Rihanna? Lou's would be happy to provide our services….

Kat Von D and Deadmou5 are officially an item. We can only imagine their happy future together, getting matching tattoos, a new reality show, her asking him to leave the mouse mask on while they…never mind. We don't really want to imagine that.

Canada has a problem with underage kids getting tattoos. Of course, ever our over polite, laid back neighbors to the north, most Canadian cities don't have actual laws prohibiting the practice, just guidelines that kindly ask that shops refrain from inking teens without parental consent. "Ya know, like, maybe don't do that, eh?" sounds pretty severe to us. Talk about Big Brother!! Problem is that many shops don't heed this Draconian law-ish kind of friendly suggestion, so the government may need to get tougher, like asking again and suggesting that anyone who tattoos a minor is "a major hoser," a punishment reserved for only the most brazen criminals in Canada, such as people who hunt moose without a license. Actually, the sentence for unlicensed hunting is "death," which is Canadian slang for "no Molson for a week." Can you imagine???
