Garden State officials didn't stop at downloaded music and videos for the newly taxed set. New Jerseyans must now pay taxes on data processing; tanning, massage and tattooing services; limousines; and flooring and carpeting installation, among other things.

Why was tattooing exempt from taxation in the first place? Did tattoo artists have that much sway with the legislature that they could threaten to move to another state if they were taxed?

Well, you know how it is when Big Tattoo gets its hands around the government's throat...
