Since I like tattoo very much, but it's just that there aren't a lot of tattoo forum in Malaysia though.

Can we start a topic for tattoo enthusiasts in Malaysia.
The thread is to discuss about:
1) Showing your tattoo
2) where did you have it done.
3) Recommendation shops
4) Any other Q&A regarding tattoo

I beleive that there is quite a number of people are passionate about tattoos.

Come on, lets talk.

There's an existing group in my signature

but it's in girl's club.....i wanna do a tattoo as well...can't figure out what design i want yet...and i'm in the process of slimming down as well...heh

What's wrong with girl's club wor.. Got guys post there also wert~

Go for our next gathering?

oh?....i haven't got tattoo yet leh..paiseh if i go there..haha

Now tattooing still using needle? i heard someone use sticker and it does not peel off even u take bath or kena water. is this true?

Yes, Needle and gun. tattoo is injecting ink under ur skin.

Sticker? U mean something like temporay body art using air brush technique?
Anf of course there is a new type of stencil paper saying that you can print from ur inkjet and put on your body.

But for what I know those temporary tattoos only last for 2 - 4 weeks time, depending on how you take care og tem.

Henna is also one of the temporary tattoo.

Hey, I wante dto go, but location is kinda far far away leh.
I am from Penang, maybe should have a Northern tattoo and piercing tattoo gathering as well.
Will post some of the tattoo I had lar...so stay tune.

Now, working in the office.....hai...still got 3 hours before balik.

I think better do some research lor..cos its for life.

when i open an ahlong bisnes then i get a tattoo.

tattoo.. is body art.

can do it on private part ?

yes, its an art..hai..old people always think tattoo is bad...becos the image was being 'poluted' by sam seng kia lor

There are a few way to get it done.

1. Machine


2. Needle


3. Cangkul


4, 5, 6 I lazy wanna list out.

can! you'll syok till pengsan if the tattooist is a girl..

yea, i'm still thinking a ying yang dragon, just for fun....but it might seem too....aggresive in a way..haha

tolong la for fun? this thing last forever and lasering is about 5 times more expensive than the price you pay for the tattoo.. for fun?

Why not try body modifications such as implanting silicon beads under your skin?

yin yang dragon for fun!!! man!... thats an 'expensive' fun lor.
better dun play play lor

would the number of colours used alter the price? what about complexity?

found something on youtube

Blake Lewis tattoo removal


Blake Lewis on LA Ink

Yes lor, u r rite, colors, complexity,size..all matters
just think like economy rice u buy, the more u add the more u pay..

I guess after 3 dots straight pengsan already lor then

lol, miss suitieng the number one method using machine, how much isit?

nightzstar :depends on the size, complexity and colors for ur tattoo..then u will know the price..

i see. thanks for d info

if all single colour, black, about 3x3 inches, "simple" design like a circle/ring and some details how much would that cost?

and sometimes it depends on the mood of the tattooist, cause my friend did an awesome tattoo for abt RM300+, but before that he did a real simple design and it costs him abt RM500...so it varies...

oh i'm still thinkin abt the ying yang dragon, it's not confirmed yet....as i said, i'm still thinkin of a design.....

Wanna get a skull on my shoulder!

Where's that??

Tried the 2 weeks one last month,it went away after 4 days!

it's at hartamas, and it's famous....a lot of satisfied customers there

I wan to tattoo my name on my back. But need some design. Hmmmm.

talk so long also no real tattoo pic? ho ho ho

another tattoo thread??
3 altogether in lyn d....

As promise, these are some of my "collection"








Come on guys. Don't be shy!!

Let's show off lar....

i think this is the most basic thing people would ask...

why do people like to tattoo... it hurts like hell and costly.....

same goes to piercing.....

thanks..

There will be pain..but bearable
Some tattoo have meanings, some jjst play play, some even have it done becos someone else has it done.
It depends on individual.

Costly its becos the time taken and is consider as "handicraft"

why people lusting over DaVinci painting? why people paint drawing?

it's interest...

people preferences huh?

interesting...

thanks

damn, i love that jester tattoo...looks damn nice....how much did it cost u and how long?....i'd figure abt 20+ hours?

my bro do tattoo at his whole upper arm in KCH. cost rm170 onli..but the art is quite complicated and neat!
thinking to get tattooed on the back..

iban's tattoo.. not an iban motive tattoo... tattoos on iban's body..

i got this pic last weekend.. on my Gawai vacation

Jester tattoo cost me Rm800...took only 4 hours, done by a jedi master..

4 hours?!...u gotta be kidding me....so much details and colours....wow....

yes, 4 hours, I counted..cos the tattoo shop I went, the owner can't do it, so he ask someone senior(abt 45 years old) to do it. And the owner told me that he is the master of doing these type of complicated tattoo. So, I counted, it took him 4 hours + 2 times of break.
Cos the owner said that if normal person to do it, it might take up 2 to 3 session.
I was also wow by him, cos I myself also do tattoo for other people. This is an eye opener lor...

love it... but can't bring myself to do it... scare of pain... so resort to stickers lor

I also hate pain, but I did it for spiritual purposes

huh??U mean spiritual purposes?
Any photo to show ler?
I think majority of us Malaysian is still quite reserve lar..
until now only a few photo nia...
Come on lar...show us ur tattoo

lol....not many ppl do tattoos mar...u do see people walking around, but how many actually shows them....

yalor...in american forum, they show and discuss about it.
so have to start somewhere lor

where is the tattoo shop in kuch? i am interested to do my chinese name on my arm

Some ppl believe that the print on tattoo got its own soul to keep you accompanied. So dont suka2 do an evil or demon tattoo..

At MJC area.

yea, i was planning my surname in chinese on my shoulder area....

One of the tattoo I did fpr someone a few weeks back



Like it??

wow u seem to be experienced in tattoo arts

your works are not bad...

oh yea, do u mind if u tell me the Do's and the Do Not's after you get a tattoo?...apprently u can't go under the sun, or some stuffs

Can, no problem..prevent sun bathing.

After doing tattoo, NO swimming, sauna and sun bathing for 2 weeks.
Immediately after tattoo, wait for 2 hours before shower.
After shower apply BEPANTHEN can buy at any chain pharmacy ie guardian, watson...for two weeks.
Do not apply vaseline or any oil based oinment, it will prevent ur tattoo to heal faster.Meaning, to make the ink dry faster.
Do not scratch, let your skin peel by its own....even though its tempting
If you are doing big tattoos, prevent from stretching the skin at your tattoo area, might crack ur tattoo.
Normal tattoo should heal in 2 weeks time.


I think thats all lar..

Wah, the tattoo drawing is quite rough ler.
No flow one.

Needle tattoo is like that. Imagine doing pixels by pixels.

I only use machines lar..all the rest is history.
But I still admire those polynesians lor..tattoo sampai the whole face and body using cangkuk style...
Heard that its not as painful as machine...

damn, if i were to do the tattoo on my back how am i gonna apply that gel?...and i doubt that my parents will be too happy abt it once they found out that i did a tattoo...lolz

DIY lor..I also have it at my back, still in progress lor...but I apply the cream by myself. I think its still manageble lar.

lol..will keep that in mind...hopefully i'm getting one done by sept or august..hehe...

This is quite good.
This is my bro's tattoo. Done in Kuching. Approx RM170 for it. Some design by me..


p/s mind the dots on the body. He got chicken pox after 3 weeks thanks to me.

Added on June 6, 2008, 1:38 pmThe old dayak tribe in Swk use lime thorn+hammer to do tatto.. My friend tried once on the bottom back and he says darn painful..

Hey man, u good in drawing man,got talent.
RM170 for that is dirt cheap lor..

Can't get this type of price in West Malaysia.

Well, now looking for places to rent to open up a shop for tattoing..

Cos, till now all tattoos are done in my house.

where are u based?....

Thanks. But i dont have a steady hands+courage to open a tattoo shop like you.
Know how to kautim+gifts and find a good time can get that price.. + own design of course.
Tattoo shop is a good business too..

based in Penang lor

I know how to tattoo before I came back from the UK(Studying ma..)
Currently also working in an office. So only tattoo during weekend.
I think so too, its a good business..
U want I can teach u lor..then we can work together lor hahahaha

wah, mr. noname, can do for me?

Do what for u ler??
Who is noname?
that nickname is my name ...hahahaha

Hehe.. thinks of the equipment + small shop can run tattoo business d. Then you can get to know all the underworld bosses.. Really can make good business.
I think i need to pass the offer because dont have enough courage to paint on someone body yet. And the skill not that sharp.
Good luck in opening your shop! too bad far from KL..

Hehe.. you means the design?

ooops , sorry, perasan I didnt see ur nick hahaha
Anyway, just joking lar.. if really want to tatoo also need alot of patient lar.
Well, if I run the business, I would preferably not touchin the 'underworld' stuff lar. Want to keep it as healthy as possible.

yaya, u know how to design chinese character? wat other design do you make?

you want it or not, you will meet someone from underworld..

Err...dont really know it. I just do one, that special design for my brother since he was born on horse year.

so many tattoo threads
but its good! love to see tattoos being appreciated by ppl. a lot of malaysians are starting to embrace this art. hehe.
posted my tattoo in another thread :
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/595326/+140

dying to get another one...arghh. temptations.

I will try to minimised the business with the underworld it hehehe

I embrace it long time ago, just dont know how to embrace this art in Malaysia only hahaha
Urs one look nice how much did it cost?

Lets say if i go to a tattoo shop. then ask them design something.
But the outcome of the design i don really like it. Do i still need to pay ?

malaysia is still conservative but compared to last time its considered quite open edi lo. thanks to ppl like u n me haha. *perasan*

the chinese character was 70bux cos it was 5 years ago. the snake costs 350bux, done earlier this year.

U can ask them to perfect it until u agree with the design lar..
of course, dont walk out like that lor...
I think some will ask for a deposit 1st and some dont lor..
If you are not sure of what you really want, may try to look into different resources then comunicate with the artists lor...

any1 tattoo their brother ar? got pic?

Price is reasonable, luckily they also din over tat ur beauty spot(if I didnt mistakenly saw one), cos its not adviseble lor...
Yes, why not organise to Penang ler??

hahahaha

Yes, I got o gym nowadays, I think 60% of the guys also got tattoo, but rather a decent size ones..
always got some looks when I took my shirt off(not becos they are gay,okay), maybe never saw such a big piece before kua...hahahha

Tattoo their siblings as in brother or ur litttle manhood. I dont really want to see it, cos its not appropraite to show in this board as well lor..
better keep it "clean" and healthey, BROTHER!!!

As i am planning to do my first tattoo, can i request the senior sifu to do a simple tattoo for me ?? I know usually simple tattoo they will ask the not so pro guys. U see, i don 1 my first tattoo to end up in bad experience.
