Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos onanimals are most commonly used for identification or branding.\n\nTattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, wore facial tattoos, as do some Maori of New Zealand to this day. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples, and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and China. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular all over the world.\n\nThe word \"tattoo\" is a borrowing of the Samoan word tatau, meaning to mark or strike twice (the latter referring to traditional methods of applying the designs). The first syllable \"ta\", meaning \"hand\", is repeated twice as an onomatopoeic reference to the repetitive nature of the action, and the final syllable \"U\" translates to \"color\". The instrument used to pierce the skin in Polynesian tattooing is called a hahau, the syllable \"ha\" meaning to \"strike or pierce\".\n\nThe OED gives the etymology of tattoo as \"In 18th c. tattaow, tattow. From Polynesian (Tahitian, Samoan, Tongan, etc.) tatau. In Marquesan, tatu.\" The first closest known usage of the word inEnglish was recorded in the diary of Captain James Cook in 1769 during his voyage to the Marquesas Islands. The text reads, \"...they print signs on people\'s body and call this tattaw\", referring to the Polynesian customs. Sailors on the voyage later introduced both the word and reintroduced the concept of tattooing to Europe.\n\nIn Japanese the most common word used for traditional designs or those that are applied using traditional methods is irezumi (\"insertion of ink\"), while \"tattoo\" is used for non-Japanese designs.\n\nTattoo enthusiasts may refer to tattoos as \"tats,\" \"ink,\" \"art,\" or \"work,\" and to tattooists as \"artists.\" The latter usage is gaining greater support, with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of both traditional and custom tattoo designs. Copyrighted tattoo designs that are mass-produced and sold to tattoo artists are known as flash, a notable instance of industrial design. Flash sheets are prominently displayed in many tattoo parlors for the purpose of providing both inspiration and ready-made tattoo images to customers.\n\nfor more info on Jay Jay\'s whereabouts: http://www.myspace.com/revjayjay \n\nASU Student Radio is celebrating it\'s 25th year being the Sun Devil\'s Original Alternative!

The program was a weekly 2 hour public access offshootof the Arizona State University\'s original alternative radio station that aired in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely seen videos and \"new\" music not in the \"main stream.\" Along with non-conventional interviews it became a decent way to nurse a hangover with the midnight party crowd. These clips are edited as a sort of best of; minus the music videos. arizona, ASU, blaze, chaussee, devil, fight, halford, hard, jay, kasc, KASR, mark, metal, phoenix, rock, state, sun, tempe, university
