Eastern students interested in healthy eat­ ing alternatives can tum to local restaurants for low fat meal options. Beyond the dining hall salad bars and Subway in the Martin Luther King Jr. Food Court, Charleston may not appear to offer much healthy nourishment for college stu­ dents interested in bettering their diets. However, a few local restaurants offer healthy meal options on their menus or are willing to cater to those desiring low-fat options. E.L. Kracker's offers a selection of low­ calorie healthy meals. Krackers' salad bar is a healthy dining choice. Also, speclalty salads and light chicken dish­ es are offered as meals on the menu Specialty salads include spinach salads, cobb salads, grilled chicken caesar salads and the "Hot Chicken Nest. • "The spinach salad is a bed ofspinach with mushrooms, tomatoes and onions," said Joe STEPHEN HAA S/ ASSOC IATE PHOTO EDITOR Pagone, assistant manager and bartender at asdfsdafdasdf E.L.

Kenny Alexander, who owns a tattoo parlor on Lincoln Avenue, said 80 percent of his clients are Eastern students. But the majority of students will have to wait until they tum 21 before they can get a tattoo at Alexander's, where all potential customers must present identifica­ tion and fill out a form before they can get a tattoo. Alexander said trends in tattoos change all the time. "The most popular tattoos for men now are tribal tattoos on the arm. The most popular tattoos for women are butterflies and flowers on the lower back, • Alexander said. Alexander said the pain of get­ ting a tattoo is more comparable to a burning sensation than the feel­ ing of being pricked by a needle. Alexander said no high risk of hepatitus exists from getting a tat­ too, contrary to the common myth. "You're more at risk of getting hepatitis from a public restroom than here,· Alexander said. The needles at Alexander's par­ lor are disposed of after every use, and then the tube which holds the needle is disinfected for 48 hours in metracide, a germ-killing agent used in hospitals. "A lot of people worry about the needles, but nine out of 10 places dispose of the needles, • Alexander said. "Your primary concern should be the tube that holds the needle because of it is not disinfec­ ted correctly could potentially spread a disease like hepatitis." STE PHEN HAA S/ASSOC IATE PHO TO EDITOR Thttoo prices vary by size and location, and amount of detail. Kenny Alexander, owner of The Ink Spot, works on a tattoo on Saturday afternoon in his shop.
