...book's introduction, you mention how nobody speaks for the tattoo industry, and that most artists like it that way. Were you worried about a backlash? I was a little bit worried. In tattooing there's always been a great deal of secrecy: "Don't talk about this kind of stuff to outsiders." A friend of mine, Mary Jane, a tattoo artist, had a newsletter at one point, and people started threatening to kill her. There's a lot of weird stuff like that.

...Time was kind to the U.S. over its invasion of Iraq: the Bush Administration was able to waste four years pursuing misguided strategies there before finally getting things right last year and turning the situation around. But the new U.S. military approach to winning the war in Afghanistan is likely to take years, if not decades, to bear fruit, and there are growing signs that America's patience is fraying. On July 23, Vice President Joe Biden acknowledged that a lot more sacrifice would be required of Americans, but he insisted that it was worth the price to "straighten...
