...such secrecy? I think, historically, most tattoo artists didn't want people to have any kind of information they wanted, that it would just increase competition. But I think the secrecy is fading now because that's really not the case anymore. You really have to learn how to draw and get a good apprenticeship before you can get into the field...
...four very distinct generations. At the Sea Tramp, we have a lot of art drawn in very different eras, like Bert Grimm's stuff. Some of it is 50, 60 years old.

But Obama's decision to leave the details up to Congress while providing just the broad principles he wants to see in the finished product has, by most accounts, gone too far to the other extreme. Congress can't function without some guidance and political cover from the White House, and the past few weeks have heard much grumbling from Democratic staffers on the Hill that nothing will get done unless...
