I’m not big on tattoos. Maybe I’m kinda lame, but I just think to myself, “Ouch—now was that really worth it?” when I see them. When I see a lot of them on one person, I swear I feel a bit of physical pain myself. But tableware with tattoo designs—that I can get behind! Steven Burgert from ID e-mailed recently that California-based Ink Dish Design has paired with Hollywood tattoo artist Paul Timman to make some bad-ass plates, and Burgert is carrying them at ID. On this note, I must refer you to a fun post about the tattoos of the glitterati written by one of our contributors, Lizzie Garrett, on her blog, Design Watcher. All I can say is: Et tu, Caroline Kennedy?
