Tenti-cally, Its Called Art

Recently, the amazing Shadow Angelina from New Orleans, USA was in Singapore for a short holiday and just when you thought that her eye for detail was limited to just her photography skills that has seen the likes of Alice Cooper, Children Of Bodom and various dark alternative models gracing her page (http://www.drowningwoman.net), Shadow has a liking for tattoos and the stay was not going to be restricted to just watching the Hungry Ghost Festival (which by the way, she thought was unique)

Together with Murderfreak Shion, Jean Reiki, myself and my partner, we brought Shadow to the renowned tattoo establishment Visual Orgasm (http://www.visual-orgasm.com), opened by Joseph in 2005 and has won accolades and appearances in several tattoo conventions. Incidentally, Joseph himself will be the tattoo artist who is bringing Shadow's idea to life and from the looks of it, the final product seems like a tantalising prospect. Deciding on having an octopus being inked onto her right shoulder, Shadow was a picture of calm as Joseph was focused on wielding his weapon and overlooking every single detail of the artwork as the rest of us looked on in anticipation and after several hours, it was finally complete. The result? A menacing creature of the sea that strikes fear into the hearts of many while comfortably residing on the shoulders of a fantastic individual who was such an absolute joy to be around with
