Rumors of tattoo pain exaggerated
TATTOO from Page 7
Bandaged, I asked why the tattoo
didn't bleed, as my friends had said
it would.
"I ain't brutal," he said. "Some
people really gouge."
Michiela was next. She initially
wanted the rose on her fingertip.
Warsocki said he did not tattoo on
hands or faces. He was a member of
the National Tattoo Association,
and it doesn't allow it. He respects
the NTA. He wore surgical gloves
because they said to.
"I feel so damn clumsy you know,"
he said. "But it's the new thing."
Michiela chose the base of her
right ankle for the tattoo, although
Warsocki warned it was a tender
spot. She cringed as Warsocki rea
died the needle.
After the first plunge, she said,
"That's not so bad." It wasn't some
thing she could have endured for a
long time, she said. But 20 minutes
after he started, Warsocki had tat
tooed a pink rose on Michiela.
Warsocki cleaned the dining room
table and told us how to care for the
tattoos. Keep them moist with some
kind of medicated ointment, stay
out of chlorinated pools for a week
and don't remove the bandage for a
couple of hours. We didn't ask why;
we simply obeyed.
The tattoos neither bled, oozed or
hurt, much. All the hype was untrue.
Sure, it was a crazy stunt, one I
might regret "10 years down the
road." But thinking about it and not
doing it would have been worse.

Entertainment Letters
Gimmicks make band credibility questionable
This letter is in response to Charles
Lieurance's article in the Profile Sec
tion, "Nietzche wrong! God is alive,
well, and living in Lincoln" (DN, April
3).
Although I am strongly opposed to
this band, 1 am not going to give you a
sermon condemning them as pagans. I
do want to question the motivation for
doing what they are doing. This group
is using God as a gimmick to get more
attention and more money. It may be a
way to get back at all those Jerry Fal
wells out there. They actually could
believe in what they are doing, but I
doubt it by the tone and word choice of
the interview.
The same thing is prevalent with
some rock groups. Some probably are
firm believers in Satan, but I have read
articles and have heard interviews that
really show that many are not, even the
ones who use Satan as their gimmick to
sell. Obviously, to use Satan or God as a
gimmick would draw attention, and it
works. I think that the gimmicks and
the misuse of them tend to overshadow
the groups' musical ability and credi
bility as performers. Why else would
they need to use spiritual and antispir
itual forces to sell?

'Rock Music Close-Up' not attacking rock
In response to the article "Activists
fight symptoms, forget cure" (DN, March
12), I would like to point out a few
things the writer missed when he
viewed the Rock Music Close-Up.
First, Rob Lamp, narrator of the
Rock Music Close-Up, said he was not
attacking rock music as an art form; in
fact, he writes rock music himself.
Instead, he said he wanted to chal
lenge people to think about the con
tent of the music. Is the message being
conveyed healthy for people to be lis
tening to?
The article also stated that the Rock
Music Close-Up would quote statistics
of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, venereal
diseases, homosexuality, etc., then move
into discussing songs that promote
these things when no facts of correl
ation exist. The statement that no facts
of correlation exist is not true. Psych
iatrist Thomas Radecki said in the
video that a number of tests show a
correlation between the music a per
son listens to and his attitude to and
actions in society. The Bible also talks
of a correlation in I Corinthians 15:33

corrupts good morals.' " In other words,
everything a person hears and sees
influences the way that person thinks
and that person's actions.
The third point is that the article
said the Rock Music Close-Up did not
offer a cure to society's problems. This
is far from the truth. Phil Keaggy, a
popular guitarist; Loren Green of the
band Kansas; Mylon LeTrevor, guitarist
for Eric Clapton; and Lamp, the narra
tor, all spoke of the answer to society's
problems. Each said they found the
answer to their problems when they
accepted Jesus Christ as their personal
Lord and Savior.
This is not saying accept Jesus and
all your problems go away. It is saying
that He loved you so much that He died
for your sins and if you place your trust
in Him to go to heaven, your sins are
forgiven and eternal life is now yours.
The video simply said the reason the
world has problems is because man
does not seek God and His righteous
ness but seeks his own selfish desires.
