If you are tattooed and Singaporean, please join this page on Facebook called 'Singaporeans with Ink'. Since almost everyone is on Facebook these days, I thought it would be neat to see how many Singaporeans have ink. With the much talked about 'media blackout about anything PRO tattoos', it would be nice to show them that XXXXXX number of Singaporeans ARE tattooed and none of us are on the Most Wanted List. Heh!
It's really new so you won't see a whole lot of 'Likes' but it'll grow in time. If you do join the page, it would awesome if you could get your friends with ink to join as well. Would you please? Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?
Here's the link to the Singaporeans with Ink page on Facebook.com:
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I'm sitting back, enjoying my 500ml can of Raffles Larger and thinking how best I can write this post. Let me start off by saying a dickwad (you know who you are) sent me the following message on Facebook "eh bro your advertising off [sic] haunted changi getting quite irritating. how much they paying you??".
So instead of replying to Mr. Dickwad on Facebook, I'm gonna do it here. Let's start off by saying that the folks from Mythopolis Pictures aren't paying me a dime! Yup! I ain't getting free tickets either! Ok I got a free t-shirt but that doesn't quite cover my blogging fees. It's more of a souvenir than anything else.
If you know me well enough, you'll know that I do lots of things for free. It drives my wife and agents up the freaking wall! My late friend Andrew once remarked that if I stopped doing things for free, I would be a rich man. But while money is always good, I rather die knowing I've helped the people I genuinely like. If that makes me a person that doesn't understand how money is made, then so be it. At least I'm smiling every damn day!
Later today when I watch Haunted Changi with my wife and friends from Julia Gabriel, WE WILL be paying for our tickets. It's called SUPPORTING LOCAL. That's something a lot of Singaporeans need to start doing. Understand Mr. Dickwad?

Busy Bee
Hello people! I'm sorry about the lack of blog posts for the month of August. Looking at my blog archive, it's clear that I'm not blogging as much as I did in 2008 and 2009. Fact is, I'm busier now than ever before. While it's awesome to be busy with work, I will try my best to blog more. Ok?
I need to edit a shit load of images for this blog and my Facebook account. If all goes well, I'll post them later tonight. Later folks!

Room 101 Silver supports Noel Boyd!
Since meeting at the Singapore Tattoo Show in February this year, I've had an amazing relationship with the people behind the brand known as Room 101 Silver. And now, the relationship has gone to the next level with Room 101 Silver officially supporting me.I went totally ballistic when I first laid my eyes on their jewelery at the convention. I've always loved silver but these guys took silver to new heights. Think silver meets tattoos. Now that's a marriage made in heaven!
To show their love, Room 101 Silver sent me three pieces from their collection.

That's the 13 Ring, 13 Pendant & Room 101 T-Shirt

The chunky 925 silver 13 Ring. 13 means a lot to me as my son is born on the 13th of April.



I've got matching pendants as well. More pics are available here.
Room 101 Silver: Founded by Matt Booth, ROOM 101 is THE Luxury Lifestyle Brand for those who demand quality with an edge. The Room 101 Collection is comprised of designs that will stand the test of time - designs that share a common ground with the uncommon sense of fashion intrinsic to an artist, but can easily be appreciated by all.
Some of the celebrities that wear Room 101 Silver include: Benji Madden from Good Charlotte, Hip-hop superstars Busta Rhymes & Slick Rick, guitar legend SLASH, Sen Dog from Cypress Hill and Food Network's star Guy Fieri.
About Matt Booth: Matt Booth has a unique past. Matt Booth is a keen jeweler, bass player, tattooist and to top it all off , Matt Booth is an ex United States Marine.
Being a U.S. Marine sent to the Asian continent, Matt Booth found the rich culture in Asia & the Middle East especially thought-provoking. Matt Booth's life as a marine evolved to be a pivotal time both in his private life & his career as a jeweler. In 2000, he relocated back to Hollywood to pursue his love for music as a bass player. It was only a matter of time before Matt stumbled onto jewelry during his participation in the music industry and "immediately became involved & began tinkering with the craft."

Singapore Tattoo Art & Culture Show
I found out on Saturday evening that I've been appointed the official blogger for the upcoming Singapore Tattoo Art & Culture Show. That's just awesome news! If you don't already know, the Singapore Tattoo Art & Culture Show will take place from the 10th to 12th December at the iconic Formula One Pit Building.I would like to thank Galaxy Tattoo and Lionel Ng for giving me the opportunity to do what I've always loved to do. That's to write about body art! I will be promoting the convention across various social media mediums and I hope to interview a good number of foreign and local artists.

Noel Boyd FC
Tiger Beer has selected me as a captain and I've been tasked to form a team for this unique online challenge against 50 individuals from the region. I spent last night going through everyone in my list of friends and I believe I've found my 10 teammates. More on that later today...
I'm sure most of you know that England International and Manchester United star Wayne Rooney was in the most recent Tiger Beer commercial. If you've not seen the TVC, here it is...
I know it would be shameless to compare myself with Wayne Rooney but I'll go right ahead! For starters, we both are proud daddies. His son, Kai Wayne Rooney, was born on 2nd November 2009 and my son, Drayden Rhys-Cruz Boyd was born on 13th April 2008. And... Rooney was born in Croxteth, Liverpool and I SUPPORT Liverpool! I appreciate the fact that Rooney fights for the ball and his team every single time he is on the pitch. I use that same approach in whatever I do and I'll never stop fighting for what I want in life. Well last but not least, we both have been spotted with Tiger!!!

A New Comment Form
From what I understand, some of you have not been able to leave comments for awhile now. Well I've got some good news! I have decided to do away with ECHO and go with a comment form that's really simple. This old-school script doesn't do anything with spam nor does it link up with Twitter or Facebook. Boooohooooooooo!!! But the form is so simple that even your dog can use it!
I'll give this comment form one week on my blog. If I don't get more comments from you lovely people, ECHO is coming back! *cue evil laughter!*
