South Kingstown, RI ~ November 6, 2010 --- Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo, a one of a kind mobile tattoo studio based out of Portsmouth, RI, will be teaming up with Cardi’s Furniture to host a blood drive for the Rhode Island Blood Center. Jeffrey Goyette, renowned tattoo artist and owner of Inflicting Ink Tattoo Shop, created the traveling studio.
Inflicting Ink Traveling Tattoo will be set up in the South County Commons parking lot near Cardi’s Furniture from 9:30am until all scheduled tattoos are completed. The Rhode Island Blood Center will be on site from 10am-2pm collecting blood donations. The concept of the day will be “give blood while you wait to get tattooed”. Participants can donate blood and either set up a tattoo appointment later in the day (Jeff will decide the amount of time needed in between to ensure safety for all clients) or schedule an appointment at the shop for a later date. Those who donate blood can either have a free Inflicting Ink t-shirt or receive a $10 off coupon for their next tattoo. Individuals may schedule tattoo appointments with Jeff prior to the event, but all walk-ons are welcome.
All attendees do not have to donate blood and/or receive a tattoo. The event is to simply highlight the fact that these two elements can come together. Inflicting Ink and the Rhode Island Blood Center are looking to create awareness about tattooing and donating blood, with hopes of dispelling the myth; “you cannot give blood for a year if you have a tattoo”. This event will take place rain or shine.

Tattoo Cover-Up at Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio
Almost everyone has had a situation in their lives when they had to hide their body art for one reason or another. Hiding your tattoo isn't always easy however. Make-up can rub off and stain clothing, and many tattoos are far too dark to be effected by traditional cover-up methods anyway.
While clothing can be worn strategically to cover some tattoos, those tattoos that are located on parts of the body that would be hard to cover will still need another method. Additionally, depending upon the season, certain articles of clothing might be considered out of place merely for use as a tattoo cover-up.
If you are only interested in a temporary cover-up for your tattoo, doing some research into over the counter airbrush types of cover-up makeup can provide you with the best results. The make-up is applied using an airbrush technique that might be unusual at first, but with practice will become fairly easy.
If you are looking for a permanent tattoo cover-up you will need a consultation with a reputable tattoo artist to determine if the tattoo can be covered at all, and if so, to what degree. You will also need to go over which designs will best do the job of covering up the old ink.
Inflicting Ink Tattoo Studio in Portsmouth RI has highly skilled tattoo artists, working in a sterile environment, who are always happy to discuss your tattoo cover-up project with you.

Body Piercing Requires Sterile Facilities and Healthy Patrons
Best Tattoo Studio in RI Inflicting Ink's Jeff Goyette posts an article regarding sterile tattoo and body piercing facilities and the importance of being healthy before having any kind of work done.
Jeff said "Karen's Blogs are very good and I think more people should read them. This is a procedure that Inflicting Ink takes very seriously and completely checks before any piercings are granted, verbally and in writing before the client leaves the shop."
The full article from the About.com tattoo blog of Karen Hudson follows below.
According to the results of a recent inquest, the death of a UK woman, Amanda Taylor, earlier this year resulted from severe septicaemia (blood poisoning) just two days after having her tongue pierced. Health authorities checked equipment from the jewelry shop and found that although there was evidence of bacteria on some equipment due to unhealthy practices, none of the spores were connected to the death of Taylor.
What appears to have happened is that Taylor, sadly, just had bad timing and got her tongue pierced at the same time she was developing strep throat. While strep throat by itself is usually non life-threatening and easily cured with a round of antibiotics, the streptococcus bacteria is actually quite dangerous, especially if it has the opportunity to enter the blood stream. With a new piercing wound that has a quick and direct route to the bloodstream, it only took 48 hours for the bacteria to completely shut down Taylor's body. That's pretty scary and it's something that needs to be taken very seriously because this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
It's so important to make sure you're healthy before getting a tattoo or piercing, ensure that your artist follows all safety protocols, and to regard any infection or illness after the procedure to be a potentially serious problem and see a doctor immediately. And don't be afraid to go to the ER if you feel your doctor isn't taking the situation seriously enough. Taylor's doctor prescribed antibiotics for her strep throat but it was too little too late. Please take care of yourselves!

RI Tattoo Studio Applauds Court Decision Upholding First Amendment
Appeals court ends tattoo parlor ban in Calif city
By PAUL ELIASAssociated Press Writer
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A federal appeals court struck down a city ban on tattoo parlors Thursday, ruling the artistic expression is entitled to free speech protection under the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the Southern California city of Hermosa Beach to allow tattoo parlors to operate.
The city had argued the operations threaten public health and attract an unsavory clientele prone to crime.
Several state courts and federal trial courts have upheld similar bans in other cities across the country.
However, the ruling Thursday was the first by a federal appeals court, meaning such bans are now unconstitutional in the nine western states that must comply with 9th Circuit rulings.
Circuit Judge Jay Bybee, writing for the unanimous three-judge panel, called the city's ban "substantially broader than necessary to achieve the city's significant health and safety interests and because it entirely forecloses a unique and important method of expression."
The court said the ban was an unconstitutional overreaction to health concerns that can be addressed through regulations to ensure sanitation.
Hermosa Beach City Attorney Michael Jenkins said the city was disappointed with the ruling and hasn't decided whether to appeal.
"The Hermosa Beach City Council places a priority on protecting the public's health and safety, and it adopted this ordinance because of the potential health hazards caused by unsanitary tattoo practices," Jenkins said.
Johnny Anderson sued the city in 2007 after it refused to let him move Yer Cheat'n Heart Tattoo studio from Gardena to Hermosa Beach, which is closer to his Redondo Beach home and three young children.
"They have an outdated notion that only sailors and fallen women get tattoos, which isn't the case," Anderson said of his legal battle with Hermosa Beach officials. "Everybody gets a tattoo these days."
Free speech expert Jesse Choper said it's unlikely the U.S. Supreme Court would take up the case, noting that Bybee is a politically conservative judge.
"It's a pretty straightforward case," said Choper, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley. "It would seem a clear, uncontroversial application of the First Amendment."
