The Weekly Poll: Tit for Tats

[Survey] Held over for one more week: City Weekly Associate Editor Bill Frost thinks the print feature Nice Tats (photo of a tattoo and a one-sentence explaination) is tired, played out and should be 86ed in favor of a new feature. Managing Editor Jerre Wroble believes readers still enjoy Nice Tats and it should stay. Others wonder, what's the diff between an Associate and Managing Editor, anyway?

Should Nice Tats stay or go?

1. Stay: My tattoo-removal business is booming these days.
2. Go: I don't want to see my mom's "Poison Rocks!" tat in there.
3. Modify: Add a "Cool Head Wound" feature next to it.
4. Don't care: I only read "I Saw You," anyway.

No, But Thanks For Asking

[Ink] People often ask me (usually in a disparaging tone) whether or not I will regret my tattoo, five, 10 or 50 years down the line. It's possible, but I will never regret it for the most frequently cited reason: ability to get a decent job. In fact, part of the reason I got inked in the first place was to remind myself to never, ever wind up in a dead-end cubicle job. Worst case scenario: I will (*gasp*) wear a long-sleeved shirt! I understand that tattoos are still somewhat shocking and subversive, but I really get tired of people questioning my intelligence and even morality based on their quick assessment of my colorful skin. I recently stumbled upon the following site dedicated to professionals with significant body art. Take a look:
