			<description><![CDATA[Please be advised, we DO NOT allow anyone to post images or even discuss the tattooing of anyone under the age of 18. While I know in some states/countries the laws are different, and with a parent's consent you are allowed to tattoo a minor, we simply WILL NOT allow any images or even discussion about tattooing anyone under the age of 18. If you are found to be in violation of this policy, your account and all posts will be deleted.

			<description>A professional tattoo artist on this forum has recently

been outed and as a result they have received threats

from the established tattooing community. This has

resulted in them asking for their posts to be removed

and as we take the security and well being of our members

very seriously we have had no choice but to oblige.



There is a gradual but growing acceptance within the

established tattooing community that it is far better

to educate those who are set on a place within  ...</description>

			<description>We had our first confirmed case of a member being banned for issues surrounding plagiarism, dishonesty, and posting of other people's work. This WILL NOT be tolerated. If you're found out to have violated these rules your account and all posts will be deleted. This site is a place for people learning the art of tattooing to share and help each other learn.

			<description>An issue has recently come up about a post of a potentially unsafe tattooer and my decision to remove both a personal picture of the man and a link to his myspace account. I wanted to provide context to the rationale behind my decision.



One of the reasons for my decision was a recent case that of a woman who is being indicted for creating a fake myspace profile and &quot;bullying&quot; a girl, eventually leading to her suicide. Here's the Department of Justice's press release on the case:  ...</description>
