Welcome to the rec.arts.bodyart Purple Pages Directory FAQ! This file
is regularly posted on rec.arts.bodyart and is a directory of bodyart
professionals who have volunteered to serve as resources via email.

This FAQ is html-friendly; most news readers will allow you to 
jump to the next subject by pressing ^G [control-g].

 o What is the Purple Pages Directory FAQ?

 o Disclaimer (what the directory is NOT)
 o "I think I qualify"--How to get a Purple Page for your shop

Subject:  WHAT IS THE PURPLE PAGES DIRECTORY FAQ?

The Purple Pages is like the White Pages (shop name, artist 
name[s], address, phone number), but is also like a "Yellow Pages," 
with additional information such as shop hours and specialization. 
In addition, purple is symbolic: Tattoos and niobium body jewelry 
come in purple; purple bandanas are used by some to show interest 
in body piercing, and purple is also the color of most stencils used 
by tattoo artists with thermo faxes.

In this sense, the Purple Pages is the first inclusive listing 
available for ALL bodyart professionals, regardless of 
specialization. All those listed have agreed to the following:
 o The only businesses allowed to be included are those with Internet-
   accessible email accounts;
 o Serve as a resource accessible via email for queries that might
   not necessarily end in a sale;
 o To avoid the posting of "ads" but using alternatives such as WWW,
   gopher, ftp, private email;
 o To have entries removed should the business lose 'net connectivity
   (through staff changes, etc.).

In exchange, the Purple Pages strives toward the following:
 o To provide "safe space" for businesses who need an acceptable
   format in which to promote their shops;
 o To encourage responsible netizenship by businesses;
 o To encourage interaction between professionals and r.a.b. readers
   on a personal and non-judgmental level;
 o To provide a higher level of 'net awareness among professional
   circles;
 o To encourage the use of technology and computers for bodyart
   businesses.


--------------------------------------------------------------

Subject:  WHAT IS IN THE PURPLE PAGES DIRECTORY FAQ?

The directory has been separated into very general categories, 
according to their primary business. Because so many tattoo shops 
now have in-house professional piercers, we have combined tattoo 
and piercing shops into one category. Manufacturers and suppliers 
who sell bodyart-related materials but who do not provide bodyart 
services are listed in another category. The third category, 
"Affiliates," lists those who are closely identified, allied or 
aligned with the bodyart industry.

The directory will be listed alphabetically according to the name 
of the business. If the business name is secondary to the name of the 
main contact, the contact's name will be cross-listed.

Each entry contains information in the following format 
(enumerated for example):

1. NAME OF SHOP (in all caps)
2. Contact person's name and <email address>

3. Address; phone/fax
4. Shop hours
5. Addresses of WWW pages, gopher or anon ftp sites
6. Type of business
7. Others at the establishment (and their specializations if they 
   are tattooists)

8. 25-word "blurb" of their choosing in quote marks.

Each is also separated by *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *

Subject:  DISCLAIMER

Appearance in this directory should in no way be construed as any 
"seal of approval" by the FAQ maintainer or the readership. 
Submissions are based solely on the contributors' willingness to 
follow the policies and rules set forth in the Purple Pages 
Directory, and not based on the quality of their work or lack 
thereof. There is NO quality review process for these businesses. 
While resource contacts *may* offer personal opinions, they may 
also speak on behalf of their businesses. We have assumed that the 
proprietors are informed of their businesses being posted here by 
their employees (although for most, the contact person *is* the 
owner).

Since these people are not online all the time (and are often 
paying higher connect fees), they are not obliged to reply with 
very in-depth, long replies--especially if the questions are 
adequately addressed in the FAQ sheets, or can be easily answered 
by non-professionals and others on the newsgroup itself.

If you find a resource here acting irresponsibly and against the 
Purple Pages agreement, please contact the FAQ maintainer at 
<teshima@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu>.

Anyone caught making and distributing copies will be thanked 
profusely (by me and all the businesses)! You are hereby granted 
permission to redistribute electronically and via print as many 
copies as you wish, in whole or in part, including adding this to 
your web site. If you redistribute this document in sections 
(versus just a shop here or there), please provide a notation on 
its source ("Internet Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.bodyart Purple

Subject:  "I THINK I QUALIFY"--HOW TO GET A PURPLE PAGE FOR
                               YOUR SHOP

You may be qualified to get in this directory if you are a 
professional in the bodyart industry, or are somehow 
professionally affiliated. We also welcome listings from various 
bodyart associations and suppliers.

If you are a professional body piercer or a body piercing supplier,
you should first email Piercing FAQ editor Anne "Ardvark" Greenblatt 
<ardvark@richmond.infi.net> for inclusion into her piercing FAQ lists. 
Then if you would *also* like to serve as a resource, please send 
email to me at <teshima@uhunix.uhcc.hawaii.edu>.

All others may email me directly. You will be provided with an 
e-form which you will be expected to return.

This directory will list professionals only. Apprentices and 
informally trained practitioners are requested not to apply unless 
they are directly supervised by qualified professionals who agree 
to the terms outlined in this FAQ. Professionals are defined as 
those who are properly trained in their discipline, who work full 
time (or near full-time) in their field and obtain most of their 
income this way.

Finally, the FAQ maintainer retains the right to remove, or deny 
addition in this directory for businesses who abuse, ignore or 
misuse the guidelines.

Subject:  MANUFACTURERS & SUPPLIERS
          Businesses that make and/or sell bodyart products 
          (retail, wholesale or mail order) but do NOT perform 
          services on clientele.

 **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Most professional tattoo artists strongly
  oppose the advertising of tattoo supplies and equipment. "Starter
  kits" have been likened to the sale of mail order dentistry 
  kits. However, the sale of such equipment is NOT illegal (just
  immoral). And because I do not believe in imposing censorship
  policies, I will not prohibit the listing of such companies. In the 
  strongest wording possible, I discourage all from purchasing such 
  kits and turning into scratchers. Those who are interested in 
  becoming tattoo artists should read all the sections of the Tattoo
  FAQ and contact some tattoo artists about the procedures for 
  becoming an apprentice.
  Additional note: While it may be legal for nonprofessionals to
  purchase "Starter kits," it may be illegal for such persons to
  use the equipment on others, depending on where they reside.
