Celebrity Tattoos - on Sexy Place Designs
Art of Body Tattoo - popular Tattoo of th world
A tattoo is a permanent marking made by inserting ink into the layers of skin to change the pigment for decorative or other reasons. Tattoos on humans are a type of decorative body modification, while tattoos on animals are most commonly used for identification or branding.
Tattooing has been practiced worldwide. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, traditionally wore facial tattoos. Today one can find Berbers of Tamazgha (North Africa) and Maori of New Zealand with facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples and among certain tribal groups in the Philippines, Borneo, Mentawai Islands, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, Cambodia, New Zealand and Micronesia. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular in many parts of the world.
Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice at least since Neolithic times. Ötzi the Iceman, dating from the fourth to fifth millennium BCE, was found in the Ötz valley in the Alps and had approximately 57 carbon tattoos consisting of simple dots and lines on his lower spine, behind his left knee, and on his right ankle. Other mummies bearing tattoos and dating from the end of the second millennium BC have been discovered, such as the Mummy of Amunet from Ancient Egypt and the mummies at Pazyryk on the Ukok Plateau.
Pre-Christian Germanic, Celtic and other central and northern European tribes were often heavily tattooed, according to surviving accounts. The Picts were famously tattooed (or scarified) with elaborate dark blue woad (or possibly copper for the blue tone) designs. Julius Caesar described these tattoos in Book V of his Gallic Wars (54 BCE).
Tattooing in Japan is thought to go back to the Paleolithic era, some ten thousand years ago.[citation needed] Various other cultures have had their own tattoo traditions, ranging from rubbing cuts and other wounds with ashes, to hand-pricking the skin to insert dyes.[citation needed
Tattooing in the Western world today has its origins in Polynesia, and in the discovery of tatau by eighteenth century explorers. The Polynesian practice became popular among European sailors, before spreading to Western societies generally

Cartooning People at Work
I had an assignment from work to draw some cartoons of people responsible for construction of a portion of the bay bridge. They used this for a movie to show how hard the job was for them. They sent me ID sized pictures and gave the idea and I went from there.
I started by doing the sketch on paper with a pencil. Once I get the likeness, I clean it up and scan it. I open it up in Photoshop and use my wacom pad for coloring.
I work as a printer but the art department tap some of my abilities for use in their projects.
Here they are...

Recent Tattoos
Here are some new tattoos that I did.
I'm happy with my tattooing. I know I still have a lot to learn but I think I'm improving. My lines are getting better everytime. I'm still struggling with color but I was able to pull off one colored tat which my client liked.
I've had problems with my machine but Ariel Cruz told me how to solve that problem. My problem was that my needle doesn't prick the skin consistently. This made my lines break. I thought I had clean lines but 4 of them came back due to broken lines.
The problem was that the screw that hits or vibrates on the spring is dirty. The spark made the spring and the screw black and all I had to do was clean it with sand paper. Once I did this, my machine ran smoothly.

Multo at Tatu
nagpreprepara ako sa pagtatatu kay ludwig sa garahe sa union city... nag aayos ng gamit.
inayos kong mabuti ang mga gamit dahil ayaw kong kaunting sanggi lang ay maglaglagan dahil maselan ang mga ito't hindi pwedeng madumihan.
may kumatok, (tik-tik sa pinto ng garahe) binuksan ko, si arnold. tropa namin na customer ko din. tatlong tatu na ang ginawa ko sa kanya. gusto lang mag hang-out habang tinatatuan ko si ludwig na tropa din nya.
matapos ang mga isang oras na bullshit ay umalis na din si arnold. naiwan kami ni ludwig. si ludwig ay nakahiga sa lamesa dahil sa binti ko gagawin si tatu. pangatlo na din itong tatu nya na ginawa ko.
gamit nya habang nakadapa sa lamesa ang computer ko habang nakikipag video chat sya sa chick nya sa pilipinas. ginagawa nya ito lagi para wag daw syang mainip.
maya-maya'y may kumatok nanaman sa pinto ng garahe. tik-tik ika. sino kaya ito kako, baka si arnold ulit at may nalimutan. binuksan ko si garahe... WALANG TAO. DENG! nagkatinginan kami ni ludwig.
tuloy ang kwento namin at hindi namin pinansin.
umupo na ako at isinusuksok ko na yung needle nang biglang may tumunog sa likod ko. para bang may sumanggi don sa lalagyan ko ng mga pangtatu. lingon agad ako sa likod, wala. baka kako luminsad lang ang lalagyan.
di eto na... ika ni ludwig habang nanlalaki ang mga mata... 'PARE, TINGNAN MO 'TO O (tinuturo yung computer), SABI NUNG KA-CHAT KO, MAY NAGLALARO DAW BATA SA LIKOD NATIN...!!!'
binasa ko ang chat box... nakalagay, 'uy sino yung batang naglalaro sa likod nyo, anak mo ba yan?'
NAAAAYYYY!!!
nanlaki ang mga mata namin ni ludwig.
pinabayaan ko na dahil mag-uumpisa na akong magtatu.
pag tingin ko sa balat ni ludwig, parang balat ng manok sa takot. tayong tayo ang mga balahibo.
haha. ako din takot.
inattach ko yung tatung ginawa ko nung gabing yon.

Two Exhibits in Manila
ASIMILASYON RADIKAL - post-punk aesthetics
Kwatro kantos (England Hidalgo, Mel Vera Cruz, Marcius Noceda and Carlo Ricafort) Andres Barrioquinto, Alfred Esquillo, Robert Langenegger, Romeo Lee and Santiago Bose have an ongoing exhibit at the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
This show have been in the works for almost 2 years and I'm really happy that it's at the CCP now. I am honored to have my works hanged at the CCP. I have shown there back in 1986 after the EDSA revolution titled Piglas, Art at the Crossroads.
This show is different because there's only a few of us and I'm hanging my works with such great artists as Esquillo and Santi Bose.
I've been saying how Santi changed my direction in art. He's like a big brother to me regarding my art and now my works are side by side with his at the CCP. I cannot ask for more at the moment.
I just wish I could be there but I can't due to money problems and I'm new to my work so I cannot get too much time-off.
Thanks Lian Ladia for curating the show and making this happen.
Here's the link.

Another on going exhibit that me and Kwatro Kantos have joined is this.
I'm stoked that they used both of my images for the postcards. The title for the image on the left is "Barok's Burden.'

Thanks Joanne Mah RMT - from chris
i have been suffering from a debilitating muscle knot(s) for the past few days causing me to miss out at work and making it difficult for sleep and mobility. i was getting a bit worried cuz i had experienced these muscle aches before but not to this extent after a failed attempt to get better using acupuncture and a brief massage i was starting to get a bit worried.
--
i researched some message therapy clinics in toronto and am very grateful that i found JOANNE MAH (RMT) at VOSRMT.COM. Joanne was very knowledable in her practice and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER if you are in need of some message treatment and dont know where to go....SHE IS THE BEST!!!! I have been to different message places in the past but Joanne by far surpassed all of their knowledge/treatments and significantly relieved my pain and discomfort after 1hr.
