...have a favorite story you like to tell when someone asks you about your job? I guess it depends entirely on what mood I'm in. A lot of people ask me, "What is your main regret?" I have to say that every tattoo artist will have the same answer to this question, and it's that eventually, one day, everything you made will be gone.

...crime stats aren't all sterling: as the recession set in, robberies, for example, spiked 27% in 2008 and have risen 10% year to date through late June. But numbers don't tell the whole story. On June 27, a 17-year-old boy was murdered on Martin Luther King Boulevard, near one of Newark's spanking-new affordable-housing communities. "Whenever there's a murder in Newark, the city almost defaults to the terrible memories," says Clement Price, a history professor at Rutgers University, Newark, who has lived in the city for 40 years.
