Models wanted for Alt. Website

Hi Ladies

Ever wanted to be featured in Alternative Websites be paid for it? Well this is your chance !!

Currently I am building a website, which I plan to launch on Halloween 2011....

-DiamondFangs.com-(its not up yet) which includes my works of Tattoos, Digital Work, Sketches, My Absinthe Diary ( Rants ) and of cuz, YOU !! (If you are good enough that is)

I am all over the country now and I don't have the time to shoot each one of you individually. So, why not send in a set of your pictures (75 or more pics) a set.

Pictures must be unedited,no watermark,or copyrights. It must be showing your tattoos, piercings or any other body mods that you have, and of cuz with your face.

Full nudity is not a must, BUT preferred.

The girls chosen to be featured on my site, will be paid SG$150-SG$200 (0.02cents difference from US$) for the set. So I hope you ladies have PAYPAL for faster payment to you !

The pictures will then be digitally worked on and made into an Artwork just like how my previous works are on the portfolio. Its been awhile since I updated my portofolio...lol

For those who are not chosen, I am sorry, but I will send you a Digitally worked Picture (Artwork) of you as a token of appreciation. And I PROMISE, you will get it but it might take a while as at least 2-3hrs are spent on each pic...


There is NO CONTRACT on this project, but only an agreement where the CHOSEN MODELS cannot re-use or reproduce the set that was sent to me and also a statement that I hold all rights to pictures that was "sold" to me.

So how it works?

Basically, send in least 8 pictures of yourself with the above stated criterias. Yes, 8 first, not 75, unless I contact you n would like to see more. If you are CHOSEN, only then you send in the rest. Fair?

Cuz I know there are tons of scammers about asking ladies to send in tons of pictures n selling it off elsewhere and also "ladies" sending in fake pictures from elsewhere and make money for themselves. BIG NO-NO!

Email the your particulars and pictures to Models@diamondfangs.com

Name: Age: Email: Vital Stats: Country/City: D.O.B: Phone: Address: Facebook/Myspace :

and least 50 words on why u should be chosen.

Easy? I make it even easier... Pictures need not be PROFESIONALLY taken. Self Shots would do too, even though I would prefer Professional shots, but hey, don't worry. If you look good either way, who cares?

You ladies can check out my temporary blog at Immortal-Tattoos.blogspot.com or get me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/DiamondFangs

Take care !! Hope to make some business with you ladies :)

Three's Not a Crowd

I met a trio of friends hanging out in Penn Station in early October, waiting for their train back to Rhode Island.

I spotted Darius first, which was understandable, as he has seventeen tattoos. Kenny and Katie, his friends, each boasted a modest three tattoos apiece, and offered up theirs as well.

Let's start with Darius, who has this traditional Mom and Sparrow tattoo on his forearm:



He said that he and two other friends got the same tattoo.

This was done by Jae Audette at Mcinnis Tattoo Company  in Providence, Rhode Island. Work from the shop appeared previously on the site here.

The other tattoo, on his bicep, is this set of brass knuckles that says "Knuckle Up":



This was done by Forrest Curl at Altered Images Tattoo Studio in Cumberland, Rhode Island.

Also from Altered Images is this still-in-progress rib piece on Kenny:



This is a depiction of The Crimson King from Stephen King's Dark Tower Series. As you would imagine, Kenny is a huge fan.

Rob Young is the artist who is working on this piece.

Katie then generously offered to show me her tattoo, which runs down her spine:


When I asked if she wouldn't mind sending me another photo, since the tattoo was partially obscured by her bra strap, she didn't hesitate to unhook it so I could photograph the whole tattoo, unobscured:



Katie explained that her heritage is Armenian, and that the letters down her spine spell the word for "family".

She added that two of her cousins have the same tattoo, but inked on their arms.

She also noted that the infinity symbol at the base of her neck speaks to the Armenian text and symbolizes, for her, "family forever".

She did not recall the name of the shop where she had this done, but recalled it was on Long Island, New York, and that the artist was "Joey D".

Thanks to Darius, Kenny and Katie for sharing their tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

Jill Walks On with Her Ink

I spotted Jill in the beginning of November sitting in the New Jersey Transit waiting area at Penn Station.

She has eight tattoos, five are symbols and three are word-based, including this one on her forearm:


The one she shared with us is based on the song lyrics of U2 and their song "Walk On".


The letter G and the date refer to her grandmother and the day she died, March 2, 2010.

The lyrics are "And I know it aches/And your heart it breaks/You can only take so much/Walk on".

Jill said that listening to music got her through a difficult time and this song, in particular, carried and sustained her through the mourning process.

Coincidentally, March 2 marked the anniversary of her meeting the band in 2009.

She chose an Edwardian script and the tattoo was inked by Mike at Fat Kat Tattoos in Keyport, New Jersey.

Work from Fat Kat has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Jill for sharing this special tattoo with us here on the site!

A little extra treat, video of U2's "Walk On":

Amanda's Irises (and a Quote)

This start-of-the-year post is courtesy of Amanda, who I met at the end of October in the Borders at Columbus Circle.

It was her sleeve of irises that first captured my attention:


These are inspired by the work of Vincent van Gogh, perhaps this one:



The tattoo was done by Dennis Halbritter when he was at Incognito Tattoo in Pasadena, California. He has since moved to High Voltage Tattoo, Kat Von D's shop on L.A. Ink.

Dennis also inked this on Amanda's inner right bicep:


This quote "IO FU QUELLO CHE VOI SIETE E QUEL CH'IO SON VOI SARETE" is taken from an Italian fresco credited to Masaccio. This is the artwork in question:

The Holy Trinity, with the Virgin and Saint John and donors, in Florence
If you look at the bottom of the fresco, right above the skeleton is the phrase Amanda has inscribed on her arm.

The phrase is translated as "I once was what you are and what I am you also will be".
These words remind her of her own mortality.

Thanks to Amanda for sharing these lovely tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
