Out With the Old.....

As we wind down 2010, and look ahead to 2011, I wanted to take care of one of my several loose ends from the past year.

Back in July, I met a guy named John on the D train. He had tattooed arms and we chatted a bit. He said he'd send me photos and he did a few weeks later.

I never posted the photos because the resolution was low, and when I tried to increase the size, they blurred. I was going to include these in the Christmas housecleaning post, but the work is just too good.

So hear you have them, small photos, but recognizably amazing:

I mean, what is there to say? This work is quite excellent. The koi, the tiger, the sailing ship, sugar skull, nautical stars - it's all quite a body of work!

The artist is Nacho, who appeared once before on the blog here. You can check out Nacho's work here. in New York, he tattoos out of Studio Enigma on Avenue U.

Thanks to John for sharing these amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

And thanks to all of our fans and contributors for making 2010 a successful year of inkspotting!

Amber Chia In Tiger Stripes

Malaysian Supermodel Amber Chia earned her stripes for wildlife conservation Saturday by sitting still as her famous body was painted to look like a tiger.

She told reporters after the photo shoot at Mutiara Damansara that it took three hours but she did not mind as it was for a good cause.

The shoot was for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) Asia Pacific.

Amber is the latest in the line of celebrities featured in a new anti-captivity advertisement for PETA.

Besides a jungle setting as the backdrop, she will also be photographed in a steel cage measuring 70cm x 70cm x 90cm.

The photographs will appear on posters and newspapers across the globe early next year in a campaign against zoos.

Next year, being the Year of the Tiger was among the reasons Amber was chosen to be a part of the campaign.

"She was chosen because she has a compassion for animals," senior PETA campaigner Ashley Fruno said.

Amber is the first Malaysian celebrity PETA had roped in to help their cause to urge people to boycott zoos.

"Wild animals belong in the wild. An animal that lives a long and healthy life but dies in the wild is not worse off than animals which spend all their lives pacing in enclosures," Fruno said.
