Rihanna's New Tattoo

“I like hanging out in tattoo shops. When I am in New York, after all the photo shoots and performances, when I should be resting, sometimes I get dressed and go to the tattoo parlors in SoHo and hang out. I am so intrigued by tattoos. It’s an entire culture, and I study it. Sometimes I go with friends or just by myself. I get bum-rushed, but I don’t care. I don’t take security.”

The gorgeous singer recently got a sprinkling of stars on the back of her neck.






Many don't know this but the singer is quite the tattoo aficionado and already has 4 other tattoos

Treble cleff and 16th note on her right foot which she got while in Australia

"I wanted something small and cute that would remind me forever of being here"

It seems Rihanna decided to get the tattoo only minutes after she arrived in the country and decided that an ankle tattoo was the best way to commemorate her first visit there.

Symbol of friendship behind her right ear







Sanskrit prayer on her right hip

Lately she has been seen walking around with this design...a guitar...on her forearm. But apparently it's just a stencil so we'll just have to wait and see if she decides to really get it done or not

But i personally hope she doesn't...it doesn't look as pretty and classy like her other tatts

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

Daisy's Hornbill Tattoo

This one was submitted by Dazed :


My friend Daisy had been previously tattooed using the machine, but she was really excited about getting one done traditionally especially since my sister and I told her that the pain is like pulling your eyebrow...hehe.


So we went to Ernesto to get it done.

Anyway, she decided she wanted something tribal of course cos that's the only way to go if you wanted it done traditionally. And she wanted a design the means 'protection'.



She's from Sabah by the way & what better design to get then a design of the Hornbill cos Sarawak is the Land of the Hornbill (duh!!!).

No specific reason why she chose the placement but the location is kinda cool for that specific design.

She did it on 23 Dec 2007 starting at 6.00pm and it took him close to 2 hours to tat her cos she's thick skin...literally.

Her skin just couldn't penetrate the ink well & Ernesto had to hit the same spot longer then he normally does.

In fact he had to take a 15 minutes ciggy break in between cos his arm was getting tired.


Her face was red by the time he was done. But I must say, she did not whine during the whole process except for the occasional 'ouch'.

And so, Daisy became a happy lady on Christmas Day & decided she's coming back in Feb to get it extended

The completed design...well so far anyway

Thanks Dazed for the submission :p

L.A Ink Contest

I'm sure most of you Miami Ink worshippers would have heard by now that Kat Von D, the portrait queen, has her own reality show called L.A Ink


While this contest is not as great as the Miami Ink one held last year where a Malaysian girl was picked to go there and get inked, it's still a chance to win something what! :p
