Spring Break

Ken Niles rides the ski lift on the beginner hill at Brian Head Resort in Brian Head, Utah.

The beginner's chair lift at Brian Head Resort is surrounded by luxury homes and condos. The resort offers night skiing until late in the season, and this was the last night it was offered for the 2008-2009 season.

An upcoming move motivated brothers Donald and James to get matching tattoos. "James has wanted a tattoo for a while," said Donald, "since I'm moving, it seemed like a good time to do it." The pair decided to emblazon Chinese symbols on their chest.

Kyle Miller, owner and artist of Hearts on Fire, has owned the downtown Nampa tattoo parlor since last year. Miller, who is also a firefighter, has six years of tattoo experience. 

From top:

1) James examines the stencil in the mirror while his brother Donald looks on.

2) James is all smiles as Miller gets ready to begin the tattoo.

3) Miller concentrates on the design, while James tries to lie still.

4) James finally realizes what the phrase "beauty is pain" really means.
