Body art seen as less of a workplace barrier

This is a great write up about how tattoos are becoming more of an accepted form of body art in the work place.

Wearing a tattoo and considering how your job/future-job feels about it is something many people think about before getting one.

Another successful trip to the k 104.7 radio station.

Thanks to everyone on "Waking Up with the Woodman".  Allison and I had a great time with the morning show crew.  We gave away 3 body piercings with H2Ocean aftercare as well.  It was a blast as always.

K 104 has invited us back once again!

Adam and Allison will be live on "Waking up with the Woodman". Allison has been asked to do a few piercing on the morning show staff for all you listeners to hear. Tune into 104.7 fm sometime during the 9 am hour. Who knows...maybe we'll do a give away so be sure to listen.

What the hell are people thinking?

For anyone amped up to have their under age child tattooed.  This may give you some insight into why this may not be the best idea.  In New York State it is illegal to tattoo anyone under the age of 18 regardless of parental consent.  I realize this is an extreme case.  

Georgia couple charged with child cruelty for tattooing six kids

By Joan Firstenberg.

Atlata - A Georgia couple who decided to drill a small tattoo with a rigged up gun onto the hands of six of their children, except for the baby, have been hit with a slew of charges.

Child Cruelty charges have been leveled against a Georgia couple who allegedly tattooed six of their children with a homemade device made from a guitar string connected to an electric motor. The New York Daily News reports that police arrested Patty Jo Marsh and husband Jacob Edwards Bartels late last year after the biological mother of some of the children discovered that markings on their hands wouldn't wash off. Marsh and Bartels have each been charged with three counts of illegal tattooing, second degree child cruelty and reckless conduct. The couple was released Friday after posting a property bond of $10,000 each. Georgia has a law that makes unlicensed tattooing and the tattooing of minors illegal. Police say five of their six children, aged 10 to 17, were given a small black cross tattoo on their hands. Another child had "mom and dad" lettered on one hand. The youngest child was left unmarked. Police described the home-made tattoo gun as a plastic pen with a needle made from a guitar string that was connected to an electric motor. Patty Jo Marsh thinks this is a big overreaction by the public to the tattoos. She told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

"We would never do anything to hurt them. I don't understand why this is getting blowed up so big."

But the Chattooga County Sheriff, John Everett says he thinks it is a big deal.

"It's unusual. I've never seen parents tattooing their kids like that."

When news broke of the children's tattoos, The Georgia Department of Family and Childrens Services placed all the youngsters with other family members. Marsh says she gave the children tattoos because

"They asked us to."

But upon her release on bail, Marsh told the Atlanta-Journal-Constitution:

"I'm their mother. Shouldn't I be able to decide if they get one? They weren't hurt by them
