Video : Traditional Tattoo

A short video of Daisy getting her Hornbill tattoo done

For those of you who have never seen how a tattoo is done traditionally

Don't let the noise scare you...it's actually less painful compared to the machine

Lainie : I know...it sounds really painful!!

Unfortunately i haven't got it done traditionally yet cos it starts at RM350 and the design must be a borneo motif (Ernesto is particular about that), but according to Ernesto and some others who got it done traditionally, it hurts less.

It also lasts longer although the design may be 'rougher' than with the machine

Sharkgila : Hey you...haven't 'seen' you in a bit :p

You know Daisy?

Frm experience.. No it doesn’t hurt as much as some ppl claimed it to be. The pain is like the type that you wanted to feel more.

Seriously, if you ask me will I ever be getting it done again with my hard to absorb "thick" skin?... YESH! This Feb and another one this July before the Music Festival.

Nila???hahahaha! Indeed it's a small world.

Dude!!!!!! How the hell have you been?!! Wow it's been ages.

Anyway you should really give it a try la...it's not as painful as it sounds or looks. If you came by to my little country, i would be more than happy to take you to get inked!
