Issue: May 05, 2011

Hi everybody.
Do you have any tattoos? Even if you don't, you probably know somebody who does. Tattoos have increased in popularity over the last few years. In this week's cover story, we explore how that increase in popularity has affected tattoo culture and its place in the Reno community. Elsewhere in the issue, Kat Kerlin talks to the inventors of a new money-saving power meter; movie reviewer Bob Grimm gets hyped about the upcoming crop of summer blockbusters; and, in Filet of Soul, Brian Burghart muses on the death of Osama Bin Laden.
As always, thanks for reading! If it weren't for you, we'd be sterilizing our needles.
Brad Bynum,
