Hey all! How has your Monday been? Unlike many people, I love Mondays and Tuesdays. It's my off days and it gives me a chance to spend time with Ann, Dray and me mom and dad. Drayden is such a beautiful baby. I'm absolutely delighted that he started saying Pa Pa.

Tomorrow, I'm going crabbing with Vik. It's gonna be an awesome afternoon. Nothing beats having a cold beer by the beach. The last time round, we caught 12 crabs. I hope we'll catch more tomorrow. The more the merrier right? Yum Yum...

The past week, I did 3 airbrush tattoos that I'm pretty happy with...

It's time I prepare something to eat. I'm so hungry that I can't think straight. I'm craving for lasagne actually. But that's too much of a bitch to prepare. Anyhow, I'll post again tomorrow. Take good care and love to all.

My wife the Ambassador

In case you don't read the Baby Boyd Blog, my wife Ann has been chosen as one of the "Fresh Air for Women" Ambassadors. The Health Promotion Board approached my wife not too long ago about being an ambassador for this new campaign. We spoke about it and I'm happy she decided to be their ambassador.

Before ya'll start bitching about me smoking and all, Ann and I have a mutual understanding. I smoke because I want to and nobody can get me to quit. If I do decide to quit one day, it'll be because I want to. Right now, I don't.

I think Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew would be the PERFECT ambassador for an anti-smoking campaign. Well that's my opinion anyway...

Singapore looks set to have it's very own tattoo magazine soon. Guess who will be in the inaugural issue? Yep, me! I'm absolutely delighted man. I don't know what else to say but Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I've got to wrap up this post. I need to prep stuff for my THQ event on Monday. I'll leave you with an airbrush tattoo of Hideto 'Hide" Matsumoto from X Japan that I did earlier today...

Chinese Girl with Body Painting

Body Painting Chinese Girl Fete 2010

We attend the New Orleans St. Paddy's Day parade, take an afternoon to face paint at the Audubon Zoo and donate the proceeds to charity, and body paint models for a show at a French Quarter club.


I have had the most amazing time this past week, at the Louisiana Living Arts Festival in New Orleans, otherwise known as LA Fete.


LA Fete started in 2006, when I was offered a pot of gumbo. No, seriously. I'm a member of some international face and body art discussion groups, and I

mentioned in one that my favorite food was Cajun. Susie Pierce, otherwise known as Susie the Crazy Cajun, told me that if I came down to her hometown of Baton Rouge, she'd make me a pot of gumbo. My response was, "You name the weekend, I'm there," and all of a sudden there were about 30 other artists chiming in with "me too!" We found ourselves picking St. Patrick's Day weekend of 2007, and LA Fete was born.

Once a party was planned with so many artists, it was only natural that we intend to practice our art, and that morphed into scheduled classes and workshops.


So once a year, for 4 days in March, I go down to New Orleans for LA Fete. I take classes, jam with my friends, face and body paint, and practice my henna.

The next place we went to was a bar called Dollhouse which was a much larger venue than the first place we went to. The performance here was similar to a Vegas show; dozens of girls put on choreographed dances that although were quite evocative in nature, never showed any nudity. The highlight of the night was when there was a beauty contest for girls painted with body paint. They had on small bikini bottoms to cover their private parts and body paint to (sort of) cover their top halves. I was surprised to see people bringing out expensive camera gear to commemorate the event and soon found myself running back to the hotel too grab my camera.

When one think of the, I kissed a girl singer the last thing that comes to their mind is tattoos. This is the best thing about tattoos. People who you would never think to have one has one. This also just goes to show that the stereotype on tattoos couldn't be more wrong. It is usually those shy, good girls from next door that have a secret love for tattoos. With that being said, Katy Perry does have a tattoo of her own and it just so happens to be in a rather visible place.

Body Art and History of Power Man

Man has enthusiastically decorated his body for thousands of years, and some of these decorations can leave the onlooker gasping in amazement at their intricacy and sheer beauty. Often the wearer of the tattoos is making a statement of some sort. Indeed, the very word tattoo is said to stem from the Polynesian word ‘ta’ meaning 'striking something' and the Tahitian word ‘tatau’ meaning ‘to mark something’.

In 1991, the body of a 5,000-year old tattooed man – ‘ötzi the ice man’ – was found frozen in a glacier in the mountains between Austria and Italy. The wonderfully preserved skin of this corpse bears 57 tattoos which are thought to have been medicinal in application, comprising a cross on the inside of the left knee, six straight lines above the kidneys and numerous parallel lines on the ankles.



These often elaborate geometrical designs were added to and embellished throughout the life of the individual until they covered the entire body. Samoan traditions of applying tattoos by hand were always dependent upon rank and title. Tattooing ceremonies, conducted at the onset of puberty, were elaborate affairs and a key part of the individual's journey to leadership. The first Europeans to see this were from a 1787 French expedition, which reported that ‘the men have their thighs painted or tattooed in such a way that one would think them clothed, altBody Art and History of Power Man hough they are almost naked’.


Celtic culture of 1200 to 400BC was very keen on body art. Body painting was done with woad, leaving a blue design on the skin. Spirals were common, and lines forming complex braids which weave across themselves symbolise the connection of all life.

Eleventh century tattooed Inca mummies were unearthed in Peru. Central American natives see tattoos as badges of courage. When Cortez arrived in Mexico in 1519 he discovered the natives not only worshipped devils in the form of statues and idols, but had also imprinted images of these 'false' idols on their skin. The Spaniards, knowing nothing of tattooing, thought it to be the work of the devil.

Feminine Tattoos Design

When opting colors for feminine tattoos, women can go two dissimilar ways with their choices. They can have feminine colors match the trend of tattoo or they can have design arts stronger and bold colors in place. When going with the feminine color schemes, there are a few colors that instantly spring to mind. Pink and baby blue are two colors that seem pretty together and would also add a little additional femininity to an already feminine tattoo.

Most colors have the potential to become feminine tattoo designs and as long as they are light sufficient. Greens and purples can be feminine when lightened up. Periwinkle is a lighter purple that is frequently used to color feminine tattoos such as flowers. If a woman needs to go with the stronger bold colors, the most obvious choices are black and red. These colors together are frequently used as signs to war rather than peace.

Neutral colors to use on feminine tattoos are medium colors. A darker pink is bold, still yet very feminine, whereas orange is deemed a feminine color but is also flashy and powerful. For examples of dissimilar color schemes, one can seem around anyplace for motivation because of the broad range of colors outside.
