In his newly released memoir, Tattoo Machine, the Portland-based inkman shares some of the weirdest, wackiest and most disgusting details of his profession, from cleaning up after chudders (look it up) to the time he tattooed a serial killer (he thinks). TIME spoke with Johnson about writing his first book, the grim reality of his work and the clash of tattoo generations. (Read "Hate That Tattoo? Making Them Easier to Remove...

"If you choose to be part of Euro-Atlantic integration - which I believe you have - then we strongly support that," Biden said in a speech after talks with Yushchenko. Biden also explicitly rejected Russia's "19th century" talk of spheres of influence. "We don't recognize, and I want to reiterate this, any spheres of influence. We do not recognize anyone...
