This is an interesting frontage of a tatoo shop in my hometown, Melaka.
If you have seen the Miami Ink, LA Ink & London Ink programmes on Discovery Travel & Living, you would understand why the owner wrote 'Malaysia Ink'. The mentioned programmes featured tatoo shops in the respective cities.
Tattoo is getting more and more popular among our young adults. I have seen many adorning tatoos on various places on their bodies. The bold ones even have huge, colourful ones done in an artistic manner all over one arm!
Tattoos used to be associated with vice or gansterism. Not any more. People view it as a form of art. A gym mate of mine went to get a beautiful, colorful, big tattoo with the name of her son done on her back. It certainly looks good on her. It's brave of her to go through the pain to get the tattoo done!
But some people may not perceive tattoo in an artistic manner. I still recall when I was passing through Hong Kong Immigration from Shenzhen, the Immigration officer gave my arm; that was adorned with a sticker tattoo in the form of a beautiful butterfly; a long, hard stare before stamping on my passport and let me passed through! My boss said I shouldn't have had the tattoo on! I found that incident funny coz the tattoo was just a beautiful little butterfly! Not a huge dragon, that would easily be associated with vice!
Do you have a tattoo? If you were to get a tattoo, what design would you go for?

No tattoos for me...I'm afraid I'd change my mind later and be stuck with something I didn't like anymore!
