Needled this Week by Josh Rubin
This week in Needled was filled with tattoo news, from the former president of the Philippines missing a meeting on account of body art to a staff sergeant in Iraq whose after-hours job is tattooing his plattoon to a look at Sport's Illustrated's tattooed athletes pictorial. In fine art, Needled explored the ongoing photo project, Exactitudes, particularly looking at its Sleeves grid of tattooed men. Marisa also picks her favorite tattoo events for the weekend, whether it be in Texas or in Bordeaux, France. The highlight of the week, however, is the interview with Dave Archer, a Florida tattoo artist with a passion for tribal art.
