    Tattoo Life Crew, Tattoo Life

    Tattoo magazine feature on the lantern as a tattoo subject. Verbatim: "The lantern has always been associated with the idea of light" and "it can be seen as a symbol of the quest for truth through the use of our human intelligence". The page also invokes Buddhism ("in a sort of reincarnation without end, like in Buddhism"); that clause is NOT converted into an edge here - a trade magazine may not establish a living religion's doctrine - and is routed to T11.10.
