Then you move up to the tattoo artists that began in the '70s, and a lot of these guys could really draw. There's more color. In Bert Grimm's time they had three colors - black, green and red - and they weren't too sure about the red, and they weren...

Ikram Sehgal, a respected defense analyst who served in the army with Musharraf, welcomed the Supreme Court's move. "Personally I like Mr. Musharraf very much," he says. "But I also believe that everyone should be held to account for their actions. And his actions were blatantly illegal when, as army chief, he imposed a state of emergency.
