Slideshow: Tattoo you

Some of Boston's best tattoos

By PHOENIX STAFF | July 25, 2008

AND THE WINNER IS...
My name is Dotty Jenkins and I am 45 years old. I lost all my hair in less than 3 months, 7 years ago, to a disease called Alopecia Areata. I wore wigs for a few years but hated them because they were hot and heavy and I didn't feel like myself in them. I decided to wear bandanas but then everyone thought I had Cancer and I got "pity" stares. So, I decided since everyone stares anyways, I was going to give them something to stare at!!! I tattooed my whole head and now when people stare and ask why I would tattoo my head, I get to educate them on Alopecia and then they don't think I'm so crazy!!! I love my tattooed head and I have become quite an advocate for beautiful bald women everywhere!!! I took the lemons that life dealt me and made lemonade. Thank you for your time and I hope you like my tattooed head as much as I do. It's absolutely beautiful!!!

Life is a highway
In August 2006, more than 200 artists, architects, and assorted citizens of the world traversed the former Yugoslavia’s former Highway of Brotherhood and Unity, exploring the cultural and urban landscape of nine cities in the Western Balkans as an experimental, temporary society.

States of the art
In New England, where you can't swing a sack of cranberries without hitting a venerable cultural institution, anyone with access to a car (or even a subway pass) can scope out these topnotch art museums.
Ruling the waves
The Dutch emerged at the dawn of the 17th century as a pre-eminent military and commercial power on the sea. They were in the midst of throwing off Spanish rule and developing a shipping empire that would reach from the Americas to South Africa to Asia.
I spy
Artist Julia Scher was way ahead of the Homeland Security gang’s obsession with electronic eavesdropping and video voyeurism, having made high-tech installations that allowed museum and gallery goers to watch each other watching each other since the late 1980s.
