Sunny Side Up: Ink it, baby!

The Boys from Miami Ink-HAWT!!

before these past few years, people look at a person with a body full of tattoos with disgust. sume pun mcm tak suka...you would either call him/her a bad ass or sumthing even worse. but tattooing is just the same as singing or dancing or writing in some ways. people do all these things to express emotions, express feelings and vent their sorrows. tattoos speak in ways that normal things can't speak. you tattoo an image of your dead father or an image of a bird to symbolize freedom or leaving home when ur 18....these are just some of the things that a tattoo means to people who do it and soo much more.

now, there a re documentaries/reality shows that cater to the untold stories of the art of tattooing. like, miami ink and the recent spin-off, LA ink. these shows tell the stories behind the people, the art, the enthusiasm and the emotions that go into the process of creating the perfect tattoo for each individual.

I've started to get my tattoo portfolio together. who knows? maybe would do me some good in the future.

Tribal tattoos - my fav

i admire the fact that one single image, no matter how big or small, is permanently imprinted on someone's body, and it is not just there for kicks, its there because that person wants the world to know what it means. they want the world to know now much they miss their dead son/daughter/wife/mother/husband/father or where they have been in life or what they want to accomplish in the future. a tattoo is so much more than being a bad ass or trying to show off. it is an art, it is emotional and it is something that you carry for the rest of your life.
