1. Tattoos
   Tattoos used to be done manually — that is, the tattoo artist would puncture the skin with a needle and inject the ink by hand. Though this process is still used in some parts of the world, most tattoo shops use a tattoo machine these days. A tattoo machine is a handheld electric instrument that uses a tube and needle system. On one end is a sterilized needle, which is attached to tubes that contain ink. A foot switch is used to turn on the machine, which moves the needle in and out while driving the ink about 1/8 inch (about 3 millimeters) into your skin.
2. Tattoos -- Bodies
   Tattoos are a very old form of body art and have been practiced from a very long time in civilized human history. The history of tattoos is very ancient and seems to be of thousands of years old and even before the birth of Christ. The recorded indication of tattoos comes from the ancient Egypt where wall paintings as old as 2000 BC have been suggesting the use of tattoos in the ancient Egyptian society.

7. Tahiti
   A native Tahitian whose ancestors were among the first tattoo artists in Tahiti, James Samuela started tattooing professionally in 1998 after studying art at the esteemed L’Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Paris. Following the strict hygiene standards established in the US, James is accustomed to providing an unsurpassed level of service to his Polynesian tattoo clients. While he enjoys bringing a fresh perspective to the ancient tattoo symbols of his ancestors, he remains one of the few tattoo artists in Tahiti still practicing traditional Polynesian tattoo. James and his work have been featured in publications such as Islands and PADI Sport Diver and radio and television programs around the world.
8. Tommy Lee
   Tommy Lee is a metahuman criminal villain who was used in Level Three as an experimental subject by Lionel Luthor. Unlike the later Level 33.1 the program on the experimentation on the meteor-afflicted run by Lionel's son Lex Luthor which derived from Level Three, Tommy Lee was a volunteer subject. He was given luxuries like gourmet food and satellite TV in exchange for receiving three dosages a day of a LuthorCorp-developed kryptonite serum that was designed to boost his power. That power being his ability to project electrical energy blasts. However, he has to absorb energy from an electrical device to recharge. Once his usefulness was exhausted, he was cast out into the street, without support, still addicted to the serum.
