These great God/Goddess tattoos were done on Victor by Augustine at Insane Skin Art in Singapore (which feels to me like it’s growing to be a new Eastern mecca of body modification — so many wonderful BME submissions have been coming in from Singapore lately).

I love the detail.
The white ink really makes the tattoo.
i really dont like these
That’s beatiful.
Wow. Those are lovely.
huge hands !
so beautiful! I sortof wish they weren’t on the hands, since hand tattoos tend to fade.. but wow..
i also wish that they werent on the hands but besides that, theyre lovely
they are really cool tattoos. I think they look amazing…
Might have to pay Insane Skin Art a visit my next holiday back then… =P
very pretty, nothing i would have done personally but still pretty.
not a personal fan of the purple shading/green outline combo…. but well executed overall.
I think this is wonderful +because+ its on hands. The artist must know this area well to acheive something this pretty on such an odd surface. And as for fading- pff. Whats a few touch ups? Everyone will see this, and at least it looks reallllly good. Its much nicer than knuckle lettering. I think it has an elegance to it.
AMAZING.
they’re extremely well done! Out of curiosity, does anybody know which gods/goddesses they are?
beautiful.
15, “Yasoda (Mum of Krishna) & Lord Krishna”

don’t get me wrong, I really love how it looks on the hands =]
they’re beautiful
