Body art is becoming more and more popular, but is it good for our health, asks Deirdre Cashion...
People think I'm super religious but I just think it's beautiful artwork
Tat's the stuff: Body-modification artist Kay Fagan and her boyfriend Alex are walking works of artStar power: It's not just the likes of David Beckham and Rihanna (inset right) who cover their bodies with tattoos nowadays.

25th Anniversary of the Dublin Aids Alliance
ABMAI attended the 25th Anniversary of the Dublin Aids Alliance on Friday 7th December. Things have come a long way since the first 2 cases of AIDS in Ireland were diagnosed 1982 and as the Dublin Aids Alliance marks its 25th birthday much of the news in relation to HIV and AIDS is positive. Research is giving us solid evidence that antiretroviral therapy can prevent new HIV infections and cases of new infection continue to fall. The DAA is continuing to work towards reaching the UN goal of zero new HIV infections, zero discrimination and zero HIV related deaths. Happy birthday DAA and best wishes for the next 25 years!!
