Mandala Tattoo

My long time customer who is in progress of completing her blackwork sleeve, came in today to do another potion. I was given the green light to do what I feel like and that is every tattoo artist's dream come true.

Most times, its the customers who want to have certain kind of design on them, but on rare occasions, the tattoo artist gets to choose and do something they feel which is right for that individual.

I decided to mix 2 flavours into one - Polynesian and a Mandala to signify "wholeness" and used for ritual purposes.

Even though their beginnings may be linked to specific religious purposes, mandalas are popular with tattoo connoiseurs of all faiths.

I modified the Dharma Wheel: the eight hubs are a symbol of the Eightfold Path*, leading to perfection -

1. Right Belief

2. Right Resolution

3. Right Speech

4. Right Action

5. Right Living

6. Right Effort

7. Right Thinking

8. Peace of Mind through Meditation

Mandalas are particularly popular in henna tattoos. By definition, a mandala is any one of a variety of geometric designs that symobilize the universe. These designs are ritualistically used by Hindi and Buddist during to aid in meditation.

Roshni

I had my good friend come in today to get herself a tattoo. Its none other than Ms Roshni (Ms World Singapore 2007). Its been ages since we caught up, so what better thing is there to do, other than to have some nice tattooing session.

It was a custom piece done on her lower back which requires couple of sittings. I won't be revealing what she had done so far, so stay tuned for more !!

Getting Busy on her...Tattoo? Haha !!

Sweetness...

So boys and girls, this is just a preview of what Immortal Tattoos has to offer. There will be many more updates in time to come. Lots of dark emotions are waiting to be expressed. Enjoy !!

Psycroptic

What better way is there to spend in Van Diemen's Land other than gettin wasted? Haha !! Well you get more wasted than ever with Cameron Grant - Bassist of Death Metal Band - PSYCROPTIC !!

Ladies and Gentlemen, and to the many who don't know who or what Psycroptic is, well you don't know what you are missing.

Psycroptic was formed in 1999 and immediately set out to create their own style of darkened death metal. Consisting of originally of Cameron Grant (bass), Joe Haley (guitars), Matthew Chalk (vocals) and David Haley (drums), the four came together after the bands they had played in disbanded.

However in 2005 , ongoing disharmony and tensions resulted in the rest of the band asking Matthew to leave in March 2005. In April 2005, Jason Peppiatt (Vocals) was asked to join Psycroptic.

Close to 8 yrs now, Psycroptic has performed and toured with Deeds of Flesh, Dismember, Cannibal Corpse, Kataklysm, Nile and Deicide.

Look how wasted I am. I can't even throw the horns properly. Haha !!

I wish Psycroptic a bright future and will have full support of Immortal Tattoos, Singapore. You rock !!

Boys and girls who are into death metal bands - Your collection is not over until you get Psycroptic !! They are the Metal from the Isle !! Go get their CDs or merchandize now !!
