Vicky's Dragon Tattoo

For his first tattoo, Vicky decided to get a dragon tattoo.

There are a few reasons why he chose to get said tattoo, the main one being that he was born in the Year of the Dragon i.e. 1976

In the Chinese zodiac, people who are born in the Year of the Dragon are simply considered more powerful and lucky than anyone else. They naturally attract attention, are used to finishing first, and have the self-confidence and ego that go along with their tendency to do things on a grand scale. Endowed with tremendous energy, intelligence, and talent, Dragon people enjoy the attention but can also have a helpful and charitable side as well.

Dragon wrapped around a sword

There are many many different depictions of dragons, with the Western ones looking like giant lizards with long tails and a pair of wings, while the Eastern ones often have no wings.

He also used to be part of a 'gang' and back then it was very popular for gang members to have Dragon tatts on their bodies, especially on their backs. It was used in this context to portray ferocity and power.

Of course since then Vicky has wisened-up :p


The tattoo was done back in 2002 (and it still looks really good!) in Two-Thumbs Tattoo Studio in Sungei Wang Plaza which, if i'm not mistaken, has moved to the following location :


Lot 03-85, 3rd Floor, Berjaya Times Square, No.1 Jalan Imbi, Kuala Lumpur 55100 Malaysia

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

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
