Ink Master, Tattoo Nightmares and More

How-To Tattoo Videos
We’ve recently come across a few videos on youtube that claim they can teach you how to tattoo. THIS IS NONSENSE!

Adal: pronounced “ah-dell,” a common nickname of “Adalberto.” It’s the same way singer-songwriter Adele says her name, which is perhaps why you were tempted to write “ele” the first time you sang Adal’s praises in that letter to your friend about your new tattoo. (We may not be belting ballads on the radio, but we [...]
