WEBSITE REVIEW:
InkedNation

Everyone knows about MySpace, Facebook and Twitter, but if you're tattooed or pierced and not on InkedNation.com, you need to close-up your holes and take the next available appointment with Dr. Tattoff for some laser removal.

On its home page, InkedNation claims to be the "World's Largest Tattoo Community," and with good reason, as it offers the ultimate online meeting place for tattoo enthusiasts, artists and studios worldwide. Other sites cover smaller regions, including Tattoo.tv in Ireland and TattooInk.tv in Australia, but InkedNation spans the entire globe.

The profile pages are set-up almost exactly like MySpace in terms of information, with the layout slightly altered. There's two main sections to the profile, "About Me" and "About My Ink," allowing members to share their stories. You can also post photos with a little more leeway in terms of content than what MySpace and Facebook offer. It's also much easier to add music and creating a blog is just as simple as anywhere else. 

One of the advantages to InkedNation is that it gives its users the chance to post bulletins to either their entire friends list or just smaller groups within your network. That way, if you have an announcement to make to only artists, you're not getting replies from tattoo enthusiasts, and vice versa. Also, it's much easier to post photos and videos to your bulletins and blogs.

The messaging and comments, well, nothing really to comment there. Pretty basic stuff.

In addition to the usual social networking basics, there's also sections—all accessible through the home page—for Pics, Babes, Flash, Chat, Inked Cams, Music, Events, Classifieds and Dating. Also, all of the sidebar advertisements and links will lead you to other tattoo, piercing and body modification products, services, events and sites, so there's no risk of ending up playing any games trying to figure out who's high school yearbook photo you're looking at. Same thing goes for the News Feed located on each profile. All tattoo news, all the time.

So, while we could go on forever talking about how great InkedNation really is, it would probably be best for you to head there on your own and check it out for yourself.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES:
Chris King Shoots Tabitha James

Last week, we had Tabitha James in the office working on some clerical stuff, while photographer Chris King was shooting stills for one of the companies shooting at the studio. 

During a short little coffee and smoke break out front, Tabitha and Chris got to talking about tattoos. One thing led to another with Tabitha showing Chris her tattooed kitty cat and he almost immediately decided to do an impromptu test shoot for some magazines.

To see more of Chris King's work, you can go to www.ChrisKingPhoto.com or find him on MySpace by clicking here. Be sure to tell him the gang at MyTattooGirls sent you!

BEHIND-THE-SCENES:
Kill Slowly's Sara Beth visits the studio

One of the fringe benefits of owning this studio is the insane amount of incredibly gorgeous women we have coming and going on a daily basis. Even the makeup artists are smoking hot!

In-between makeup sessions for another company that rented the studio yesterday, we had the beautiful Sara Beth chilling with us for a while before she got back to working on some music for her all-girl rock band, Kill Slowly.

Members of MyTattooGirls.com may remember her better as Lilly Paige, and with an awesome backpiece and a sexy smile like that, how can you forget her?
