Welcome to the September edition of the Bellaonline Body Art Newsletter.
A chill has started to come into the air here in Seattle, and I know that means it won't be much longer until my tattoos disappear under a layer of fleece, not to be seen again until spring. Did you know that winter is a good time to get tattooed? It's true... People don't get as much sun, or go swimming in the winter, and tattoo artists aren't as busy with folks who've made a snap decision to get some ink. If you've been thinking of that larger inky addition to your skin, now's a good time to go talk with your favorite artist.
Are you a tattoo artist looking for a way to get some more traffic to your web site and tattoo shop? You might want to try making a lens over at Squidoo. I've been playing around there for a few months, and I'm really happy with what's been happening. There's even a fantastic tattoo group, Under Our Skin, which you can join!
