Do I Make You Horny Baby?



19-year-old Jason James Hughes, facing third-degree criminal sexual conduct charges and a charge of possession and consumption of alcohol by a minor, is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old.

The alleged victim reported the incident to police in late December, a week after the encounter, said Cedar Springs Police Chief Roger Parent. The Chief also reported the tattoo was not a factor in identifying the suspect although I strongly believe that it may play a role in sentencing.

In addition to the stylish devil horns poised above his eyebrows, Hughes also sports a tattoo of a blood-splattered meat cleaver on the side of his neck, also clearly visible. His best defense strategy at this point appears to be a benie cap and a turtleneck.

In other stupid criminal news:

Royce Spottedbird Jr., 23, of Butte, Mont, apparently thought it was a good idea to have his name tattooed on his neck. However, fearing an outstanding warrant when he was pulled over in a routine traffic stop in April, gave the officer a false name.

When he had no explination as to why "Royce Spottedbird Jr." was permanently plastered across his neck, he was arrested for obstruction of justice and eventually pleaded guilty. The interesting thing about the whole incident is the fact that there was no warrant.

Children and Spiders and Needles...Oh My!


We last brought you the news of a nine year old tattooing his father, but that isn’t the record for the youngest tattoo artist-that distinction belongs to 5 yr. old Emilie Darrigade.

In this addition of our a-fathers-love-knows-no-bounds segment we introduce you to 3 yr. old Ruby Dickinson of Whales, as she soon attempts to be the youngest tattoo artist, subjectively speaking.

Like other aspiring toddlers, she learned her trade from her father Blane, who runs a tattoo parlor, and gives young Ruby lessons with a toy kit after nursery.

Mr. Dickinson is importing an ink gun from the U.S. that has been specially designed to be used by small hands and Ruby will be getting the miniature tattoo kit for her 4th birthday. Ruby is said to be excited and can’t wait to attempt a spider tattoo on her father’s leg.

In a vote of confidence, Blain says that she is nearly able to draw a complete version of her favorite design, but adds, “I'm under no illusions that she'll do a Van Gogh, after all she's only three-and-a-half”. We wish them all the best.

9 Year Old Tattoos Dad



Kayden Brodsky dreamed of being a tattoo artist since he was in the first grade and on August 8th, 2010 he got his wish when he tattooed his father, as a birthday present. The tattoo of a triceratops went off without a hitch at the family’s Hollywood, Ca tattoo shop, Kayden’s Creations.

Kayden’s father, Andy, was first tattooed by his father when he was 15, followed by a self portrait soon after, and with his current tattoo design he’s able to boast 3 generations of family art on his body.

I wanted to show a picture of the finished tattoo but the lame Daily News out of L.A. wanted 15 bucks for the pic, and no offence young Kayden, but it wasn’t worth that much. It is quite an accomplishment for someone so young, and you dad has plenty of free space left to practice on, so I have no doubt that your dream will come true.

And All I Got Was This Lously Tattoo


Pledging to “protect and guard” bachelorette Ali Fedowtowsky’s heart, contestant Kasey Kahl was grilled on Monday’s “Men Tell All” special about his new tattoo in honor of his might be love.

Persuaded by the producer to get the permanent love token, Kasey was said to be hesitant until executives told him that Ali would love the gesture, and then proceeded to show him 30 tattoo designs for women that reflected his love and commitment.

Kasey was known for his painfully embarrassing serenading on the show, and his love tattoo was no different-Ali, not impressed, promptly axed him, leaving only the memory of what could have been…and a bad tattoo.

Kasey’s parting words of wisdom as his 15 minutes of fame come to an end-- “There are a lot of guys who are bad and who are cheaters and I just hope that my honesty will be an inspiration to women and help them realize that there are guys out there who are genuine.” He means genuine as in getting inked because the producers of the show said she would dig it.

Free Beer For Life


A Scots brewer has sparked controversy and outrage by offering anyone who get a tattoo design of their logo free beer for life. BrewDog, the Scottish brewing company famous for making excessively potent beer is opening a pub in Aberdeen, Scotland and are planning the promotional stunt on the opening night.

Co-founder and managing director of Brew Dog, James Watt said: “We’re going to have a tattoo artist in the pub on the opening night and we’re offering free beer for life to anyone who will have the BrewDog logo tattooed on their body”. He went on to say that he and his business partner were considering it as well.

The pub will aptly named The Brew Dog Bar and is set to open in September of 2010, but not with the blessing of the local licensing board, who were a bit dismayed over the idea and put it this way-“Think about an 18-year-old going in there on opening night thinking it would be a great laugh to get a tattoo for free beer. “He’s going to live for the next 60 years or so with this stupid tattoo, provided he doesn’t end up with health problems due to the amount of free alcohol he’s consumed.”

BrewDog recently made headlines for producing the $700+ bottle of beer called, End of History, which is 55 per cent alcohol and served in full body animal skins. The brewers also offer the 41 per cent Sink the Bismark beer, and the 9.2 per cent Hardcore IPA.

Billy the Billboard


Billy the Human Billboard -AKA Billy Gibby- is an amateur boxer out of Alaska who is living his dream of being a fighter. What’s interesting about Billy is not that he’s a fighter, but how he pays the bills; selling advertising space on his body featuring the logos of corporate sponsors. Although this in itself is not new, Billy seems to have taken it to a new level.

Inspired by boxer Bernard Hopkins, having seen him enter the ring with a temporary tattoo ad for GoldenPalace.com, Billy thought, 'If he could do that, then maybe I could do the real thing”.

He reached out to the online casino, which was already famous for publicity stunts involving tattoos and the rest is tattoo history.
Since that inspirational day, Billy has collected 26 tattoos from corporate giants like Liberty Tax Service, Host Gator, and an impressive list of adult sites.

He one day hopes to go for a Guinness world record for the most corporate logos tattooed on a body if and when they create the category, which he is lobbying for, adding that he has been unsurprisingly featured in Bizarre Magazine and the San Diego Times and most importantly, here.

His fees for the placement of your logo, permanently printed on his body, range from $3,000 for a 6-inch by 1-inch chest tattoo, to $20,000 for a 6-by-1-inch forehead tattoo. What a deal, and if he ever does make it to the big time it could just be the best investment you ever made.
