A WISE man once said the only difference between people with tattoos and people without tattoos was that people with tattoos don't care if you are tattooed or not.

There are plenty of fine tattoo sites on the web, but one of the best, and most highly rated, is the Vanishing Tattoo.

Included is a pretty specific list of tattooed celebrities, plus some well researched and put together information about the history and culture of tattooing across the world.

It's fascinating stuff, if only to find out which members of the Royal Family had (and indeed have) tattoos, where Sarah Michelle Gellar has hers or what the Chinese character Shaznay Lewis (no relation) has tattooed on her bosom actually means. Or see Cristina Ricci (above) getting a tatt done.

One of the best parts is the tour by Vancouver artist Thomas Lockhart trip around the world looking at the various kinds and types of tattoos from various cultures.
