What's the Deal With "Shop Minimums" For Tattoos?

If you want a tattoo - even a very small one - and you go to have it priced in a tattoo shop, you might be surprised that even something the size of a nickel will run you $50-$75. When you ask why it's so much, you'll be told that the price is the "shop minimum." But what does that mean and what is its purpose? Are they just trying to scam you out of extra money?

No, it's not a scam. The shop minimum covers the very basic expenses that have to be covered for every tattoo, no matter how big or small. Clean and sterile equipment, clean and sterile workstations, and licensed, health-board certified, insured studios is what you're getting for that shop minimum. The minimum for tattoos is more than that for piercings because more equipment is used and exposure is riskier so the steps that have to be taken to ensure your safety are more extensive than for a body piercing.

So, it's true. A tattoo the size of a nickel could cost the same as a tattoo the size of a half-dollar because of the shop minimum. But do you really put a price tag on your own safety?

In the News: Piercing Implant Technology Used to Help Man Swallow

Prototype 'piercing' restores man's ability to swallow
This is really fascinating if you're interested in medical science and technology. The same process and idea behind trans-dermal implant piercings has now been used to enable a cancer survivor to swallow for the first time in two years. Peter Belafsky, a California surgeon who specializes in voice and swallowing disorders, was inspired when he took his own daughters to get their ears pierced and saw the multiple piercings on the counter girl at the shop.

Dr. Belafsky had been working on ways to treat Oropharyngeal dysphagia, a condition that prevents the patient from swallowing (which obviously includes eating and drinking) because the esophagus doesn't open and close like it should. The piercing gave Dr. Belafsky the idea to use an implanted device that would allow the patient to operate the esophagus functions manually. Since it's a new concept and the FDA doesn't allow clinical trials on anything they haven't approved, the idea was tested (successfully) on a physician and tonsil cancer survivor from Uruguay who had lost esophageal function after undergoing radiation therapy on his throat area.

By implanting a small plate and rod, which greatly resembles the anchor piece of a trans-dermal implant piercing, into the man's trachea, the patient now has full manual control to open and close his esophagus as needed. The tip of the rod acts as a For the first time in two years, Daniel Fiandra is not only swallowing but learning to eat and drink as well. All because a guy took his daughters to get their ears pierced!

In the News: Percy Cummings Story is Bunk, But These Are Not

A satirical "news" story about a gay interior designer, Percy Cummings, who ejaculated on a TSA official after being groped in the groin during a security check due to his genital piercings setting off alarm bells, is bogus. I saw the tongue-in-cheek article a few weeks ago, but now the headline is popping up everywhere as if it's a real story. Well, it's not. But I think the reason so many people are taking it seriously is because it raises a legitimate concern and, sadly, runs a striking parallel to some other TSA horror stories that actually did happen. Recently, a travel blog writer put together the Top 10 Outrageous Airport Security Incidents and lists each one in gloriously horrifying detail, including one woman who was forced to remove her nipple piercings with a pair of dirty pliers while being watched by TSA security officials.

Airport security screenings are supposed to be for our safety and peace-of-mind, and instead they're causing more anxiety than the threat of terrorism itself. Piercings are going to continue being an obstacle for travelers, especially if they're private piercings not meant for public viewing. If you're traveling and have any piercings you prefer to keep to yourself, you're better off removing them and then replacing them after your flight.

Have you been through the new airport security screenings with piercings, and have they caused you any problems? Comment below with your stories!

The wonderful thing with the PC game is that while the huge firms always stick around - unless they're bought by another - smaller ones tend to come and go, which keeps the industry relatively fresh faced; at least in certain areas. One that sees a revamp every now and again is the chassis market; which is important, as innovation can often be hard to come by.

My tattoo tribute to Buckfast

Nurse Shelly had the design inked on her limb despite boyfriend Darren Rae threatening to give her the elbow if she went ahead. She's also set up a Bebo site for other drinkers of the tonic wine.

The 28-year-old had the tattoo design - red grapes on a yellow background - specially drawn up for her.

Yesterday Shelly, from Carluke, Lanarkshire, said: "Everyone gets tattoos of things they love, like their kids' names. I love Buckfast.

"People say that it's rotten but I think it tastes nice.

"It makes me happy, it's a good drink and it's a big part of Scottish culture.

"That's what this is about."

Shelly, who works at Wishaw General Hospital, has always hated the taste of vodka, whisky and wine, so chilled Buckie became her favourite tipple.

The clinical support worker is now planning a second Buckfast design on her arm and is hoping more people will follow her. She said: "Buckfast gets such a bad press.

"People say it makes kids get drunk and fight but they'd behave that way whatever they were drinking."

Boyfriend Darren, 30, said: "I don't like tattoos anyway and one of the Buckfast label is even worse.

"But I've had to deal with it. Shelly just loves Buckfast."

The Secret Obsessions of 'Dragon Tattoo' Author Stieg Larsson

AP Photo/Jan Collsioo/Scanpix Sweden

In the six years since his death, Stieg Larsson has become the world's bestselling author — and its most enigmatic. He is the prize product of what RS contributor Nathaniel Rich calls "Stieg Larsson Industries," a high-powered publicity machine that continues to pump life into the mysteries surrounding the author — from the mundane to the wildly conspiratorial (including rumors that Larsson faked his death and is in hiding somewhere from Nazi assassins). Rich, who has written before about the Scandinavian crime-fiction boom, traveled to Sweden this fall in pursuit of the real Stieg Larsson.

Through Rich's conversations with the author's closest friends and family members, some of whom have remained silent until now, Larsson the person begins to emerge: a frustrated journalist and crime-novel obsessive who was driven by his crusade to monitor the neo-Nazi movement in Sweden, and a respected expert who worked with everyone from Scotland Yard to the Southern Poverty Law Center in combating the spread of dangerous extreme-right movements worldwide.

Photos: Random Notes

But the myth of Stieg Larsson is likely to persist. "Everyone wants these stories to be real," says Rich. "His fans, reporters, and most of all, anyone who stands to profit from his books."

Stieg Larsson has to be one of the most solidly enigmatic — and speculated-about — figures in the world at the moment. What was it like to go to Sweden in pursuit of his story?
It was daunting, because the people close to him have been interviewed many hundreds of times. A mythology of his life has emerged — one that is highly entertaining but in certain aspects totally preposterous.

How did you break through that, piece together the man behind the myth?
I spoke to a lot people who knew him, and a different story started to emerge: I started to realize that at his core this guy was a science-fiction geek and crime-novel junkie who became obsessed with a relatively narrow subject in Sweden — the history and practices of the extreme right wing. His desire to learn about these fringe groups gave his life meaning, and eventually took the form of an obsession.

You mention in the piece that it was actually a thriller — Frederick Forsyth's "The Odessa File" — that inspired him to start collecting information about extremist and racist groups in Scandinavia.
He started an archive, which is now stored in the Expo offices. There are about six huge filing cabinets, 7-feet-tall, on tracks. The archive contains every kooky newsletter and piece of hate mail sent by Swedish racists and xenophobes in the last 50 years, and every newspaper clipping about hate crimes and Nazi marches. Friends joked that Stieg knew the name, address and even the shoe size of every Nazi in Sweden. The archive goes beyond what any national intelligence service would have — or even want. He was like the obsessives you see at science-fiction or crime-novel conventions, only he was monitoring real people. Of course the neo-Nazis loved this: They were Expo's most loyal readers.

What do you think of the books themselves?
I was much less interested in the books than in the way an industry is created around a bestselling writer, especially a dead writer who can't speak for himself. There is a deep desire that the writer's life story be as exciting as the books themselves. I don't know whether this comes out of a lack of imagination on the part of readers, our out of a yearning for the novels' spell to continue past the final page. Probably some measure of both.

The novels themselves are modeled fairly closely on traditional British crime fiction. The setting is more exotic, there are lots of long names peppered with umlauts, but the main novelty is the Lisbeth Salander character. As Larsson was careful to point out in the only interview he did before his death — to a Swedish booksellers' magazine — Salander is based in part on Pippi Longstocking, the character who is the subject of the bestselling books in Sweden's history. This was no coincidence. Larsson's goal was to write a bestseller. He said the books would be his "retirement fund."

Stieg Larsson's niece, Therese Larsson, is a big part of your story — most significantly as a real-world inspiration for Lisbeth Salander. What was it like to meet her?
She's given almost no interviews to American journalists, and she's given very few interviews at all. I spent the day with her, and I really liked her. She's very positive, full of life, a kickboxing enthusiast. She's suffered a lot of tragedy in her life, and lost a lot of people who were close to her. I found her very sympathetic. And, of course, she's baffled by the level of her uncle's success, like everyone else. It's surreal to her.

Did you see a resemblance to Lisbeth Salander?
I did. Larsson drew from her, but he also drew from other people, and he made stuff up. It's easy to misunderstand the creative process and think that everything's real. It's especially easy to do that with Larsson. He writes about a magazine that's vaguely similar to the magazine he ran, Expo, and a main character who's an investigative journalist, as he was.

What do you think is most misunderstood about Stieg Larsson — and his books, for that matter?
What I tried to get across in my piece, and what hasn't not been reported much, is that Larsson was really savvy about the conventions of crime novels, and his goal was to write a bestseller. There is a universal myth about the writer who makes it big late in life: by day, he toils away at some job he doesn't care about, but at night, he works on his masterpiece. It didn't really work like that with Larsson. He was genuinely obsessed with exposing bigotry. He was running out of money for his magazine, and lived a hard life-he was poor, he'd always been poor, his family was poor. There was a real financial expediency to his decision to write the books. He loved crime novels, but more than that he saw the Millennium series as a way to solve his financial problems once and for all. He was a great student of the crime novel. He knew the formula exactly and he knew what worked.

He might have gone on and written many more novels, but none of his friends think he would've given up Expo. That was his real passion. If he could write the novels instead of having to beg for funding, he'd be happy, but really his love was Expo. It was his crusade.

Cubitek Releases Tattoo Gaming Chassis

 




Cubitek Releases Tattoo Gaming Chassis
SFFs, Barebones, Chassis, PSU and Coolers | Just Announced
Mon 13 Dec 2010

Taipei, Taiwan -- Cubitek released the all new Tattoo PC case series: the Tattoo Beta, the Tattoo Pro, and the Tattoo Fire computer chassis. Inspired by tattoos worn by Maori warriors, the “tattoo” graphics on these cases make them aesthetically powerful and creates a whole new dimension in PC case designing. Furthermore, the Tattoo chassis features an innovation not found on any other PC case: Conveniently located on the top panel next to a mini USB cable & micro USB adapter, a tray is built into the case. This tray is ideal for holding mobile phones, as well as photographic, storage, and backup devices, making uploading pics, syncing, and internet tethering easy while keeping devices safe.

The Tattoo Beta is a black, 0.7mm SECC computer chassis. The Tattoo Pro has a black, powder-coating finish with a window on the side panel. The Tattoo Fire has a black exterior with a fire-red interior, shown off through a side panel window. All three cases sport tattoo graphics on their side panels with additional tattoo graphics panels available for purchase.

On the inside, the Tattoo series PC cases give gaming enthusiasts lots of build space. Five 3.5” and two 2.5” hard disk drives can be mounted. Additionally, there are five 5.25” optical disk drive bays located on the front panel. One of these can also be converted to mount an external 3.5” HDD. None of the ODD or HDD installations require any tools and the quick-bezel-removal design of the ODD bays make dusting that much easier. The motherboard tray features large cut outs for cable management and makes changing CPU coolers easy. ATX, M-ATX, or Mini-ITX motherboards can be used. There are seven PCI slots and all add-on card installations are tool-less. Power supply units, up to 290mm in length, mount above a vent at the bottom of the case to help keep them cool. The CPU cooler's max height can be 160mm and max VGA card length is 290mm.

Thermally, the Tattoo series computer chassis are beautifully designed. All three cases come with one 140mm LED lit intake fan on the front panel (tool-less installation) and one 140mm LED lit exhaust fan on the top panel. Both can be controlled by an On/Off LED switch, located on the top panel. Furthermore, all three cases have a 120mm exhaust fan located on the back panel. On the Tattoo Beta, there are two side panel mounts for 120/140mm fans (fans not included). Air flow, on all three cases, is further aided by four, extra tall leg-pegs, allowing lots of air in through the PSU vent on the bottom panel. If LCS is desired, two holes on the back panel prevent any need to make cuts. With one of the best thermal designs available, heat damage is not an issue for users of Cubitek's Tattoo series cases.

The top panel is home to the I/O switch, plus two USB 2.0 ports, one e-SATA port, and HD+AC97 Audio ports. A mini USB cable & micro USB adapter is also on the top panel, right next to a convenient tray where users can easily place cell phones for charging/syncing and cameras for uploading pictures.

Dimensions of the Tattoo series computer cases stand at 202 x 470 x 485mm.
