Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that “[t]he act of tattooing ... itself is not intended to convey a particularized message”
- analyzing tattooing under Spence’s framework based on the premise that “[t]he act of tattooing is one step removed from the actual expressive conduct”
- “The act of tattooing is one step removed from actual expressive conduct, which is similar to a sound truck, which enables each customer to express a particularized message, but the sound truck vehicle itself is not expressive.”
