INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Every BODY Has A Story - Ed Menza

blueandheart.jpg"I never had any strong urges to get a tattoo until I took a second look at a handmade zine that my friend gave me, it had an adorable drawing that she drew that I just found comforting and optomistic. I saw the drawing as a reminder that I had to be more involved with the lives of those around me in a positive way. So about a month before I left for art college I took in the zine to a tattoo parlor near my highschool and had the drawing tattooed on my right ankle where I could easily hide it but be reminded of it's meaning. Afterwards I realized people would probably find it ridiculous but the thought of that only made me happier. So today I am quite pleased with my first tattoo."

Do you have a tattoo with an interesting story behind it?. Send us a photo and a paragraph or two about the story behind the tat. We'll post them throughout the week. You can email them to getinked@inkedblog.com
