Well, I hope it's a green goblin and not someones mother-in-law or something ..

Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium
A visitor recently chimed in about a blog similar to Tattoosday, but with a more specialized slant. It is called Carl Zimmer's Science Tattoo Emporium, and it's pretty cool. Check it out when you get a chance. If you forget, I added it to the sidebar for future reference.
Roshni
I had my good friend come in today to get herself a tattoo. Its none other than Ms Roshni (Ms World Singapore 2007). Its been ages since we caught up, so what better thing is there to do, other than to have some nice tattooing session.
Getting Busy on her...Tattoo? Haha !!
Sweetness...
So boys and girls, this is just a preview of what Immortal Tattoos has to offer. There will be many more updates in time to come. Lots of dark emotions are waiting to be expressed. Enjoy !!Thursday, February 28, 2008
Mermaid
I guess it was supposed to be sexy, instead it's just ugly (+ the wonderful stars that look as if the tattooer was trying out color samples)

Diablo Shows Off Her Tattoo on Hollywood's Biggest Night
Ok, so this is out of the theme, in that I am in no way involved with the photography of this tattoo. But it is a big story and so I thought I'd throw out some ink news.
Diablo Cody won the Oscar for best original screenplay last night, and she made the New York Post front page, along with her pin-up tattoo.
But there's more to this than meets the eye...
Click here to read about Diablo Cody's tattoo "drama".
She actually just recently had "Jonny's Girl" covered up. Actually quite a fine job...you'd never know it's a cover-up.
A little plug, here's her book:
You can buy it here.

Psycroptic
What better way is there to spend in Van Diemen's Land other than gettin wasted? Haha !! Well you get more wasted than ever with Cameron Grant - Bassist of Death Metal Band - PSYCROPTIC !!
Ladies and Gentlemen, and to the many who don't know who or what Psycroptic is, well you don't know what you are missing.
Psycroptic was formed in 1999 and immediately set out to create their own style of darkened death metal. Consisting of originally of Cameron Grant (bass), Joe Haley (guitars), Matthew Chalk (vocals) and David Haley (drums), the four came together after the bands they had played in disbanded.
However in 2005 , ongoing disharmony and tensions resulted in the rest of the band asking Matthew to leave in March 2005. In April 2005, Jason Peppiatt (Vocals) was asked to join Psycroptic.
Close to 8 yrs now, Psycroptic has performed and toured with Deeds of Flesh, Dismember, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, Nile and Deicide.
Look how wasted I am. I can't even throw the horns properly. Haha !!
I wish Psycroptic a bright future and will have full support of Immortal Tattoos, Singapore. You rock !!
Boys and girls who are into death metal bands - Your collection is not over until you get Psycroptic !! They are the Metal from the Isle !! Go get their CDs or merchandize now !!
By the way Cam, I know you are reading this. When I come back, I am gonna ink you either way, even if you don't know what you want to get.
MAY THE LORD HAVE MERCY ON YOU !! haha !! ROCK ON !!

Brandon Lee (The Crow)
The horrifying factor here, comes from the picture selection. There are hundreds of cool pics of The Crow, but this guy chose the happy-smiling clown like one, with Brandon shiting or watching TV ...
Tattoos I Know: Paul's First Tattoo
One of my co-workers, Paul, has been and still is, one of my subject matter experts when it comes to the tattoo. As far as I am aware, he is the only one at my company with a full sleeve.
In addition, he has a leg done as well. I've been keeping him in the loop on Tattoosday matters since I started blogging about ink last summer. We have talked about featuring his work for a while now and, with the meat of winter sending shorts and sleeveless apparel into hiding, it seemed like a good time to get his Tattoosday feet wet.
So, we are starting with the beginning, the dragon on the inside of his right forearm:
Many people may not realize, but tattooing was illegal in New York City until 1997. (More on that here.) Paul's first tattoo dates from "the Dark Ages," circa 1983.
As Paul relates, when he was 16, he went with his father to a tattooist in Alphabet City in Manhattan. The artist lived in an attic apartment, and one had to a) make an appointment to see him and b) know the password to gain admittance.
So while a young Paul was watching his father get tattooed, he realized that he wanted one, too.
His father agreed, as long as he thought long and hard about it and paid for it himself.
He found a dragon design he liked and returned with the money at a later date.
He told the tattooer, whose name he remembers as Davita, that he wanted it on his chest, but the artist looked at his slight frame (at 16, Paul estimates, he weighed 140 or so) and refused, saying Paul wouldn't be able to take the pain.
So it went on his arm. And he remembers that he paid $30 for the piece.
There was no significance to the dragon, other than Paul liked the aesthetics of it and had always liked dragons. Paul's left arm and leg are done in a Japanese style. He also has another tattoo on his chest and one on his back, perhaps the subjects of later posts.
Thanks to Paul for joining us on Tattoosday!
Update: After this posted, Paul remembered why he had the dragon done on his inner arm. He recalls an episode of Kung Fu, starring David Carradine, in which the main character lifts a barrel that is very hot. As a result (and I am certainly oversimplifying), he has a dragon burned onto his inner forearm. To the sixteen-year old Paul, this was way cool, so he chose that particular tattoo in that particular location after being told by the tattoo artist that a chest tattoo was out of the question.

Femalish Creature
Rule nr 1. before you get a tat (either in prison, tattoo parlour, or from a weird exhibitonist who steals your cutlery while you sleep) , make sure that he or she can draw better than a preschooler.
Classic Capobianco
A classic example from a pin-up master, Jo Capobianco, and the subject of the temporary site header (temporary until i can be arsed making something better).

Autoportrait
It isn't the worst tat in this collection but the fact that someone tattoos himself his/hers face among some waves and balls is just horrible (or is it Mr. Spock ? That's my second hypothesis ).
New Hotness: Robot Mermaids
With, um, rockets. Tattoo by L.A.Ink's Hannah Aitchison, who is way too good for that ego-wank soap opera.
Whoah, Nudity!
Yup, Bettie Page boobs. This pic blog will be like that. NSFW.
Don't say I didn't warn you, even though I didn't.
Another Jeff Gogue masterwork.

"Why ?" Heart
Probably it was supposed to be a deep philosophical tattoo, which cannot be understood sober. Instead we have a shitty one.

Celtic Cross on one of the boys !! Sorry man, I can't spell your name. But, you know who you are.

Rude Girl
Yep, the tampon theme is alive and kicking, accompanied by a gorgeous "rude girl" skull.
P.S. Since when do skulls have lips and eye lashes ? And do I see a band-aid there ?
Sick and Tired
Hello all !!
Yet again, its been some time since I updated this blog. It has been a rough ride ever since I came back to Singapore. Lots have been going on and its just making me sick and tired.
There have been rumours and tall-tales about me going around in cyberland and the real world. Its like, I am being watched, of what I do in my personal life. Why can't those people give me a break?! There are some, whom I might not know, are just dying to tarnish my name. Isn't it funny when ; whatever I do actually, does not concern them and yet, they use my name just so they feel good? They do need to get a fucking life and mind their own business.
Its true that many people do know me and its work's nature to be interactive with them. There are some who just piss me off, well just tough luck. Sometimes, I wonder why its bad to be nice.
To all those who wanna mess me up and spread rumours about what I am like or what I have done, I got something to say - "Even if I were to be shaking hands with Jack the Ripper or riding with Kid Rock or getting laid with X-tina, it is not your god damn business. If you want to make it your business, come face to face, meet eye to eye and tell me. I ain't running away. I am happy at what I do and I am loving it."
Make it simpler for the "Paparazzi-Wannabes" - I am the Rockstar !! Just shadow me in my public and personal activities. Bring it on!! -Wink -

Portrait
It is hard to depict depths in the face structure, but this tat is so wrong that you need a good dose of investigation to make out the age, let alone the sex.
