blankanvas and the full family
By Pat Law • Jun 28th, 2009 • Category: Features, The Narcissist


Leon, of Shitoujii, who previously inked blankanvas on my skin, is in town from now til 8 July 2009. The little girl with a tie on my back was feeling a little lonely and I had Leon complete the family earlier this morning, with both my wife and my son Rebel.
His style is one of a kind, and his technique few can claim to possess. His nonchalance for popularity (yes yes yes, we all know who Chris Garver is) is an absolute charm. I’m not sure if there is still any available slots at this point, but if you’re interested, email over to book your appointment. Charges are at SGD300.00 per hour and a deposit of SGD50.00 is required to confirm your appointment.
Ah. I don’t feel so lonely now.
[UPDATE: 29 June 2009]

I generally like flamers because they are entertaining, and believe it or not, I actually appreciate the time they spend, trying to dismantle me. I appreciate it even more when they are brave enough to put their real names and email addresses down alongside with their opinions.
This flamer however, must be the dumbest, most cowardly one I’ve come across to date. Unless of course, he or she suffers from a major case of schizophrenia. First of all, my dear brainless balless flamer, your unique IP address is logged each time you leave a comment. Secondly, using your IP address, I can track on your exact location although you’re lucky, this is probably just where the servers are hosted anyway. Last but not least, make up your mind on your point of view, would you? It’s ok, my life isn’t going to collapse without your approval (surprise surprise!).
I never thought this is possible, but this flamer is a disgrace to all flamers. Tsk.

That must have hurt! Did it??
Like salt against the wound, Glynis.
that’s incredibly good work and i really adore the little representation of Rebel. damn cute!
oh. my. god. it’s AMAZING!!!!!
nice one hon!!! work of art. and so very personal.
Love that splatter spot more now! And rebel is so cute! I like the cursive “woof”!
wah, the ink splotch is damn nice!
for a moment, i thought your niece or nephew doodled markers and crayons on your back.
as “unique” as the style it is, it’s really quite disastrous for a tattoo.
really feel sorry for you.
hope you won’t regret few years down the road.
omg…hope you still like it in 5 years time.
That is so cool! Makes me want to tatoo Doraemon & Pokemon too!
You r so brave! I’ll prolly kill myself if i woke up 1 morning with those on me…
i had this sort of doodles on my back when i passed out at a chalet gathering one night.
Next morning, i looked in the mirror in horror and desperately tried wash it away with soap in the bathroom.
Seriously…u have be a really hot babe n drop dead gorgeous to pull that off without turning guys away with that crap….
very daring!!!
Whatever you have done in the past…after seeing this..I’m sure you will be forgiven..pls cherish yourself after that…
Damn! i feel so sorry for you…..
I’m loving the typography!!! <3 <3 Amazing, amazing work!
WOOF. for the doggie that is. some people, just never grow up. *hugs* their loss.
wow. compared it to the original tattoo, and now it really looks complete. (:
beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.
Ouch! That really looks like it must’ve hurt. Its an awesome design though! I’ve rarely come across sketchy/grungy designs like that.
this is one of a kind, thumbs up for that!
Wow! I’m totally digging this. The lettering and fill are simply awesome.
respect to the originality. it is cool!
Good on you pat! Your tat reminded me of the art work from an old Mudhoney album http://www.subpop.com/assets/images/1961.jpg – having a good old trip down memory lane now, cheers!
Hey James,
How’s life treating you eh? Good. Now that I know you like this particular style of artwork, I’m making it compulsory for you to come to my exhibition!
Did your artist had to doodle on paper then transfer on your skin,
or…did he just do it freestyle on your skin?
If it was the latter then…….awsm!
cos…i think able to doodle art instantly is incredible
but doing it with the tattoo gun shaking and all that is a whole new level!!!
He did it freestyle, babe. Definitely awesome.
