<b>EDITORIAL NOTE</b><br>
About a year ago, I got a letter from Kevin and Kelly Buckstrup. Early in his
tattoo career, Kevin had worked in Lyle Tuttle's shop in San Francisco. I had
rlost track of him, so it was nice to hear from him. A very clever, funny photo
of Kevin and Kelly was enclosed with all the information about their new (and
first) shop of their own, About Time Tattoo in Nashua, New Hampshire. I put the
image on the Pushing Ink page of Tattoo and sent them a note via e-mail to let
them know, and I also asked them about doing a feature story on their new place
sometime in the future. They were ecstatic.<br>
In early spring of this year, one of our photographers, Markus Cuff told me that
he was going to attend a wedding on the East Coast. 'Did I want him to do any
shops while he was there?,&quot; he asked. I thought it was the perfect opportunity
to visit some of New England's tattoo shops including About Time.<br>
What does all that have to do with this edition of Flash, you're wondering? Well,
it's where we discovered our cover model, Jill Meltzer, whose artist is Kevin
Buckstrup.<br>
