Well, aside from the NBA, I think the next vocation that has the most members with tattoos are people in the armed forces and who can blame them? These tattoos constitute a rite of passage where the boys transit into men and these passports of entry into the realm of manhood are permanently etched in ink (mostly from Far East Plaza).
Some of these are memorable, like the tattoos of the people from "Someone special" that resemble the wings of angels and serve to accentuate their bulging back muscles. Some are tacky, like Warrant Jega's soldier on his forearm (I'm sure he doesn't need a reminder of what job he's doing...)
Then there are those that...requires a good explanation: a marlin, a cheshire cat, a squashed spider... I'm quite sure that the owners have perfectly good reasons why they had these done, none more elegantly so than the story of the squashed spider, but I think it's better that these be left to the inked ones themselves to relive it.
However, sometimes, some tattoos become so popular that they are copied. Jery Lim's one is a good example. His sentiments for his tribal tattoo is similarly shared by someone in a much higher position and even the body part of which it was tattooed on was the same.
So, although oft repeated but never answered, I need to ask this question to Jery...
"How come you and S1 same tattoo ah?"
I expect a good reply, thanks.
