The publication is dedicated to providing a platform to Independent artists, along with timely topics relating to the music industry. Thus, while conversing with a tattoo artist, D.J. Saldano (aka “Loco”), regarding some of the work he had done on various musicians, it occurred to the Editor-in-Chief, Kiki Plesha, how music and ink go “hand in hand”, with many musicians wearing their “hearts on their sleeve”—literally. Thus, the idea for an interview on the subject and pictorial of some of these examples of “inked musicians” was born! View the link to the magazine at (story begins on page 80): http://www.joomag.com/ The interview presents views on tattooing and its current trends, by the two proprietors, artists Sketch and Loco, who are practicing their trade at ‘Got Ink?’; along with examples of some of the art bestowed on various music industry clients that have patronized their business. When asked about their experiences relating to tatts and musicians at ‘Got Ink?’, it was stated, “We have done many cover ups and original work on the hottest new Rock group, Silversel. For instance, George has a guitar tattoo--he is the guitarist for Silversel. This has always been a dream of George's and he finally got his chance. Rock on! A musician from Inside Out was miserable—he was walking around getting laughed at because of his poorly done tattoo. He came in to see Loco and nearly had tears in his eyes seeing his new tattoo. We as artists have noticed that a lot of musicians wear their lives on their sleeves, through their tattoos.” ‘Got Ink?’ is located at 550 S. Zetterower Avenue in Statesboro, Georgia.
