Tattoo Submission

Picture

Kindly provide a CLEAR picture of the tattoo(s) with appropriate label. If you have good pictures of the tattooing process that would be great. You can put your own captions to/for it.


I would prefer not to get pictures of your 'general and his two privates'. Or for that matter nipples and um....vagina-shots. Please edit it so it doesn't look too vulgar


If my mummy saw those kind of pictures she would flay me alive....as it is she's been waiting for any excuse..........so you all be nice little elves and don't give her a reason k


Oh and of course please include a nice mug shot (optional)



"I Killed My Mother-In-Law & Wanted A Reminder To Celebrate The Date Forever!"

Tell us why you got the tattoo. I want the real deal...all the cerita sedih (sad stories)....break ups, loss of loved one(s), dedication, significant events etc.


Remember this page is for YOU so you are welcomed to write as much as you want and to get as personal as you want.


THERE IS NO JUDGEMENT HERE


I do however reserve the right to edit the submissions in terms of grammar (cos you all know how bad grammar is to me like an ant up my arse that won't die); appropriateness (i will not tolerate racist or prejudiced submissions/comments/posts/words) and length (can write as much as you want but preferably not an epistle la) among others. If you are unhappy with the editing, there's really nothing you can do about it!


Hee


No la...you can just drop me a nasty email and i will remove the post or re-do it



Tattoo Description

You must tell us what the tattoo is cos sometimes to you it looks like a bird but to the rest of the world it looks like a blob.


Tell us why you chose that specific design, and if you've named it, then tell us why you chose that name



The Bastard Scarred Me For Life!....And I Love Him For It!

Tell us where you got it (full address would be good), and name of the artist


I would especially appreciate your opinion(s) on what you thought about the artists...be brutally honest ok....look at this as a sorta service to other tattoo lovers so that they can avoid the screwed-up ones.


But be a bit 'diplomatic' la...i am in no position to be sued :p




You can send all the details and photos to me at batchick@gmail.com




Thanks

Something Wicked This Way Comes

There are many reasons why i decided to start this blog


Top of the list is of course my passion for tattoos which started when i was a wee child, but became serious only about 8 years ago


I am also constantly getting messages from people wanting to get tattoos and who want to know where to get them in a certain state and whether the tattoo artist is good or not. That was what really go me thinking about setting up a site...a sorta directory where Malaysians can go to to get such information


And of course since i can't exactly go around to each and every tattoo parlour in the country to 'test-out' each tattoo artist (i am very skinny see so i don't have that much body space......is true!!!!), that's where you guys come in


I would appreciate it if you guys could send in pictures of your tatts or of you getting your tatts; info on location of tattoo parlours all over the country and especially your opinions of/on the artists. So this will be a sorta 'Feature' section where you get to share your whole inking experience with us. (Details to follow soon)


I understand that to some inking is very personal but i would truly appreciate your comments/opinions on anything tattoo-related i.e. after care, design, what not to do,personal experiences etc.


I think we have a great many brilliant tattoo artists here in Malaysia so my main aim would be to bring attention to them and their work.


There are also many many Malaysians out there who are into tattooing so hopefully by showcasing their designs and giving them a platform to tell their stories, it will somehow help dispel the negativity that still surrounds this great art.


As well as stop 'the others' from giving us the cibai look and asking us the million dollar question "What's wrong with you?" whenever they see our ink!


I have already set up links by the side and more will follow soon. And once the tattoo pictures are submitted, i will group the designs according to categories for easier navigation.


The tattoo pictures and designs that will be featured here should/will only serve as a guide for you to get ideas on/for your (next) tattoo. I know some people say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but i believe that is just plain bullshit! There is nothing that screams 'LOSER' more than stealing someone else's tattoo design! So please don't do it!



Hopefully i will be able to achieve my aim with this blog. Failing which i will just post nudie pixx of celebrities.....hell, everyone's doing it!



So here's to nonconformists. Here's to individualism. Here's to pain and pleasure and the 'power' that binds us all together....The Ink!



Cheers!
