Gone are the days when tattoos meant prison time or biker trash. Now, tats imply disposable income and a high threshold for pain – a sexy combo. Women swoon with one look at Corey Hart’s endless swirls of color on A&E's Inked. And don’t forget that mega-hard-core babe Kat Von D, who gives the fellas plenty of jerk-off inspiration on TLC's LA Ink. If you dig skin art, check out Living Canvas Tattoos’ 15 Year Anniversary. The award-winning tattoo shop, responsible for the best tats in the Valley, hosts the celebration, sponsored by SKYY vodka and featuring appearances by the distiller’s celebrity clientele.
