FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY
I was looking through the archives of some of the tattoos from the past and thought I would post this one for you, it was inspired by the paper chase.

Hi again everyone....
Thousand apologies to the frequent visitors who come in here regularly and only to be disappointed by the lack of updates since the last time. 2010 has been a very slow year for Immortal Tattoos, Singapore and to add more pressure on us, there have been at least 3 FAKE blogspots carrying the works done by us. All of which is from some Indonesian guy/girl/faggot who has lots of free time in his/her/its hands.
Legal action to close down the fake sites is on the way and hopefully it will be over and done with soon. I am pretty sure that Indonesian guy/girl/faggot will be reading this. And I would like to say, "Just don't let me find out where exactly you are, cuz if I do, I will rip you apart."
Moving along from there, I have been very lazy doing new projects as well. But fret not !! I am back and I need more Sinners !! -XVI- is still ongoing, so boys and girls, get your Ink on !!
To spice things up even more, Immortal Tattoos, Singapore, will be doing tattoos at NO COST to One Lucky Male and One Lucky Female EVERY MONTH !! - Limited to 20CM x 15CM in Size- So, if you are interested - EMAIL US !! But of cuz, please note that only Great Designs or Ideas will be chosen.
And here is another update of of my Sinner...

Sinner # 9 -XVI-
A Selection of Jorge's Tattoos
I met Jorge last week at the top of the escalators leading from Penn Station to 7th Avenue.
He has quite a few, and I took photos of the front and back of his left forearm.
The inner part of his arm has this koi design:
A friend of his did this for him, which he got for luck before going overseas with the U.S. Army to Iraq in 2008. He proudly served with the Third Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, 187th Infantry Regiment, also known as The Rakkasans.
Jorge loves what he calls his "good luck koi fish" and says "We deployed for 15 months....every time I was tired for walking for 2 or 3 days nonstop, I would look at my tattoo and smile and keep walking...".
After returning, he got this tattoo in Nashville:
This piece was just a very cool design.
Bridging these two very different tattoos are two cherry blossoms:
Jorge wanted to make sure they didn't get omitted from the post, as these flowers represent his mother and sister.
That would have been it for this post from Jorge, except the day after meeting him, he sent me this shot of a tattoo on the upper left side of his back:
He hadn't mentioned this when I met him, so I was pleased to include it in the post.
Jorge got this piece at Coyote's Tattoo in Lima, Peru.
He says this is a tribute to his mother and his Peruvian heritage. It is based on a pure gold artifact found next to a mummy in Peru which he saw on display in the American Museum of Natural History.
Thanks again to Jorge for sharing so many of his tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

The Tattoosday Book Review: Pretty In Ink
Last year, when Karen E. Olson released The Missing Ink, I didn't know what to expect.
Here was a mystery writer presenting us with a novel in which the main character was a female tattoo artist who owns her own shop, The Painted Lady, in Las Vegas' famous Venetian Hotel and Casino.
Brett Cavanaugh, the creation at the center of Ms. Olson's universe, is certainly a compelling character. She is a business owner, living with her police officer brother, and working with several memorable characters.
I wanted to like the first book and I wasn't disappointed. It's a fun read and does a nice job of keeping the reader interested. The fact that it is tattoo-centered only made it that much more enjoyable. For those of you who missed it, my review of the first book is here.
So it was with much anticipation that I awaited the arrival of the second volume of the "Tattoo Shop Mystery," Pretty in Ink. As a punster, I appreciate the titles as well.
The sophomore effort in the series finds our heroine, several months after the first book concludes, at a performance of drag queens. The comic potential in the performers' names alone makes the opening scene memorable, with the chaos of an unknown assailant popping a champagne cork directly into the chest of one Miss Britney Brassieres
What ensues is a murder mystery in which a tattoo, this time of a Queen of Hearts playing card, plays an integral role.
I love it, of course, because the book explores the tattoo beyond the symbol - there is a whole reality spinning out from behind the symbolic nature of the piece.
Olson's Brett Cavanaugh is surrounded by the supporting cast we met in the first book. Back is Bitsy, the diminutive "little person" who is the shop manager, as well as Tim, Brett's cop brother, who is also her roommate. Also back are Jeff and Sylvia Coleman, the "old-school" mother-and-son artists on the Strip, and the robust Joel Sloane, a shop artist who is weight-challenged and a confidante of our heroine.
Of course, there is more, with sexual ambiguity, Las Vegas politics, homeland security issues, a new potential love interest, and lots of tattoo talk.
I must admit I liked Ms. Olsen's second book in the series more than the first. Perhaps it is the familiarity of the characters, but I feel it is more than that. Olsen has hit a groove and is running at full speed.
If you're looking for a quick, fun read and want to be entertained by a cast of fictional characters in the tattoo industry, you should certainly give this series a try. Olsen knows her stuff, and has created a clever literary world at The Painted Lady with Brett Kavanaugh. She's certainly my first choice in the world of fictional tattoo artists.

However his music along with all of the other artist we feature on

Nick's Tattoo Explores the Duality of Self
The past week has been a fresh reminder of how wonderful inkspotting is in New York City. When we have warm weather, that is.
Today's contribution comes from Nick, who I spotted earlier this week inside the front entrance of a large chain coffee establishment.
Nick has "eleven or twelve" tattoos, so we went with this one, on the inside of his forearm:
This conceptual piece reflects, in Nick's words, "[Carl] Jung's theory of the duality of self".
This is depicted as the mythological figure Narcissus (at top) staring at his mirror image. However, in a spin on the myth, Narcissus is transfixed not by his beauty, but by the conceptualized vision of the inner self, which appears demonic.
This can be interpreted and discussed in many ways, which is one aspect of what makes this tattoo so interesting.
Nick had this piece done at Craig's Tattoo Studio in St. Louis, Missouri.
Thanks again to Nick for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Two Small Tattoos from Samantha
I met Samantha in Penn Station when I was passing through the New Jersey Transit waiting area earlier this week.
This simple rose is just above her left ankle:
Samantha got matching tattoos with her mother when she was sixteen. I joked with her that I shouldn't post that, since I've told my daughters that they have to wait until they're eighteen before getting inked.
She pointed out that this happened in Canada, so perhaps we could use that as an excuse.
Samantha, however, was more proud of her other tattoo, which I admit, is nicer. She peeled off the sock on her right foot to reveal this:
As a Canadian, she wanted to get this maple leaf to honor her homeland to the north. The tattoo was done at Blue Devil Tattoo and Piercing Studio in Tampa, Florida.
