Tribute to Michael Part #1

I've been back and forth about whether or not i should get a Michael Jackson tribute tattoo

But the other day, while listening to his album in my car, i found myself in tears....for the hundreth time since his death. And somehow that helped me make up my mind about it....cos frankly i don't think i've cried over anyone...be it relatives who have died, friends who have passed on, dead pets, ex-boyfriends etc etc....for this long!

I mean sure you feel the pang of loss and everything but to still sob one year on is quite alien to me. This man has without a doubt touched me in such a profound way...of course i would have preferred it literally la :p

For the uniniated, Michael, the first true love of my life, passed away on my birthday. A cruel cruel irony i know. And this friday marks his 1 year anniversary so i've decided to get him immortalized on me forever on that day itself.

I have spent the last one year trying to decide on what exactly to get cos of course i didn't want to get what everyone or anyone else had. An internet search revealed some pretty interesting and some scary tribute tattoos

I had actually initially decided on getting his legs in his signature 'point' pose cos i noticed no one had done it before and if anything, Michael was the one who started me (and about a million other people) on my deep love for dancing. And when i did my search last year no one had gotten it done yet.

But when i googled it again this year i found that quite a few people had gotten it done, so that sent me back to the drawing board....quite literally cos i figured i would actually have to design the tattoo myself. Which has proven to be very very challenging cos i am artistically challenged...i can't even bloody draw a stickman!!!

Design i had initially wanted to get

I did really want to get a potrait of him but i am very very sceptical when it comes to faces, cos one wrong 'stroke' and it could end up looking like Donald Duck with a facial tick! So i gave up on that.

But after several hours researching and going through all my Michael Jackson stuff i have finally settled on a design. It will still reflect his musical influence on me and will hopefully be one of a kind, and more importantly worthy of him

One of the best tribute tattoos i've seen!

I will be getting it done with Spec Ung, the dude who did my first tattoo 10 years ago in penang!! An appointment has been set and hopefully it will turn out fantastic! *Fingers crossed*

Miss you Michael!

Megan Fox Is A Man??

Apparently the star of Transformers and Transformers : Revenge of the Fallen was born Mitchell Reed Fox. You can read the rest of the story here



Now in my personal opinion, the girl can't act to save her life but she sure has some nice ink on her!












Just above her right ankle, Megan Fox has a crescent moon overlapping a five pointed star. It is the one visibly colored tattoo that she has.

A portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her arm.

On her Marilyn tattoo which she got done after the first Transformers : "She was one of the first people I saw on television, like, literally moments after I was born. Every time I heard her voice growing up I always would cry. I wouldn't know why when I was younger but had my own theories. I've just always empathized with her."






The words "We will all laugh at gilded butterflies" on her back which is a reference from Shakespeare's King Lear.



On the inside of Megan's left wrist is a tribal tattoo of two waves entwined like a yin and yang symbol



She plans on removing this tattoo or getting it covered up as the tattoo artist was stoned while doing it and it's now all messed up.

"The guy was smoking weed while he tattooed me and he didn't do it correctly. Now it's nothing and I'm gonna get it removed. I was told he was a really amazing tattoo artist but he wasn't on his game that night. He was distracted."

On the back of her neck, the Chinese character for 'strength'

On her rib cage : "there once was a little girl who never knew love until a boy broke her HEART"

Fox has said of her tattoos that "Every time I get a tattoo, it's a little 'fuck you' to anyone who tells me not to"

The word "Brian"

On her hip, the name of her on again-off again fiance, Brian Austin Greene of 90210, the original one.

Apparently after this, the star wants to get a sleeve. Hopefully she saves some money for acting classes as well *meow* :p

Angelina Jolie's New Tattoos

Angelina Jolie has added 2 more tattoos to her collection - to represent Knox & Vivienne's birth longitude and latitude .

She showed of her new tatts at the premier of the Clint Eastwood-directed movie, The Changeling.

It comes as no surprise that these 2 were gonna be done......it was just a matter of when really.

The other 4 of of course represent her other children, Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax. (Have you heard the one about Jolie being likened to Vicky Pollard of Little Britain? Funneeeee!)

It's nice to see her looking a bit 'fuller' than her usual waif-self.

Beckham's New Tattoo : Posh In The Nude

David Beckham recently got his 11th (!!!) tattoo done.


It is a 7-inch tattoo on his left arm and is apparently a symbol of his devotion to his wife

It features the Spice Girl lying on her back surrounded by stars and baring her breasts with her knees raised up seductively.

The new tatt extends the length of his left forearm is wrapped around an existing Hindi inscription of wife Victoria's name.

David is apparently a huge fan of Michael Scofield's (Prison Break) bodywork and is keen on doin the same to his body

Wenworth Miller @ Michael Scofield's ingenious' bodywork

Both of David's arms are already covered with tattoos

Among the other tattoos that David has are :

His 3 children's names, Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo, on his back

A figure with arms outstretched, tattooed across his shoulders and down his spine, which David calls his 'guardian angel'

A winged-cross on his neck

A lot of the tattoos on his right arm reflects his soccer career as well as his religious and spiritual beliefs.


Among them are cherubs, angels and a latin inscription which reads : "Let them hate as long as they fear" which is apprently directed at those who have slammed his talents

The Roman numeral for '7' on his right arm : his jersey number

Then there is the famously mis-spelt tattoo of his wife's name, wrtten in Devnagari. Under the name is the Latin phrase "Ut Amem Et Foveam" which translates to "so that I love and cherish."

The extra "h" in the tattoo, making it Vihctoria

David has received a lot of criticism for his tatts but we absolutely adore them!

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.”


- Atlanta Peach Magazine Sept/Oct -

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
