Tattoos are in the news daily, but a few items have popped up in the
New York Times that are noteworthy and worth reading.
Just yesterday, was this story about a 100 year-old woman in the Philippines carrying on and keeping alive the country's historical tradition if tattooing:

Then, there was this piece, from January, also in the
Times:
In December, the Times also ran a feature on artist Jonathan Valena, who has become famous for his "tiny" tattoos on celebrities and fashion models:
