In the News - Two Tattoo Shops Robbed, Another Set On Fire (Again)

Well, it's been a rather eventful week as far as news goes. Three have been arrested in the February 13 robbery of Fat Daddyz Tats in Wisconsin, and most of the stolen equipment has been recovered. A robbery in Tulsa, Oklahoma went very wrong when the shop employees were shot after refusing to cooperate with the would-be robbers. And the True Blue Tattoo shop in Sydney, Australia, was firebombed for the fourth time since they opened last November - attacks from local biker gangs who claim to control any and all tattoo shop activity in the area.

If that's not enough, we've got a week full of illegal tattooing of minors and unlicensed practitioners causing problems for clients and the industry as a whole. When will these people learn?
