My friend Adam, of Slam x Hype, caught up with Scott Campbell of Saved Tattoo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Campbell is joined by Chris O’Donnell this month, changing – to an extent – the face of the shop. I’ve been tattooed at Saved several times in the last year. A comfortable shop for sure, with no shortage of quality.

Fun stuff in celebration of 10 years of the Tate Modern - “It’s ten years since Tate Modern opened its doors for the first time. For the film ‘Tate Modern Turns 10′ we set up a booth in the Turbine Hall and asked visitors to confess their Tate Modern secrets. This special TateShots features some of the confessions that got away, including admissions of love, gallery gripes, flash mobs and mischief-making. Members of the public also recall their favourite exhibitions and turbine hall commissions, and we learn about the sheer variety of people that make up Tate Modern’s visitors. Here they included a man dressed as a storm-trooper and a newly-married couple fresh from their ceremony. Here’s to the next ten years!” (via Tate Channel).
