MALAYSIA’S LARGEST HAIR TATTOO EVENT/COMPETITION 09 | ZOUK KL


ROARRRRRRR :)

I just LOVE how body art perpetuates in all areas!

Gone are the days where body art only restricts us to draw Buncho or Acrylic paints on our faces during a circus carnival. Tattoos might’ve been something to frown upon by the elders back in the days but oh no, not anymore – not in this era.

You see many urbanites sporting artsy-fartsy tatts and yes, even grizzly looking ones on almost all areas of the body namely the arms, calves, shoulder blades, back, belly, ears, neck, wrist and the list goes on. But have you actually seen one :

ON SOMEONE’S SCALP?

Now you will.
BECAUSE IMMA SHOW YOU THAT IT’S POSSIBLE.

Courtesy of Xavier Mah, PR Manager of A Cut Above, I was extended an invitation to attend Malaysia’s Largest Hair Tattoo Competition Finals 2009 held in Zouk KL. Being an avid fan of tattoos, body art and body mods myself, I was looking forward to it all week! :)

Thanks dude! :)

So yeah, we made our way to the VIP area of Zouk’s mainroom and waited for the event to begin. It kickstarted with 2 emcees which looked as thought they came out from the netherworld, complete with dreadlocks, doning black from top to toe and with kohl liners too.

We were kinda the only few peeps who weren’t wearing black

In fact, this event had THE MOST amount of guests wearing black that I have ever saw. Ya know in Malaysia, hair stylists or people in this in hair industry always seem to have a thing for black. Everyone looked like groupies of My Chemical Romance! :)

Mr. Don Seale of Wahl Far East gave his speach on why Wahl products
should only be used for fine and precise hair tattooing

The emcees then introduced a special guest and one of the judges for this Hair Tattoo Competition up the stage. Mac is a world reknowned hair tattooist all the way from Japan!

I reckon that “Mac” could be a short name from his
looooooong Japanese name :)

Charity is always such a beautiful thing. To give and donate to others with a kind heart gives a sense of a fulfilling wonder back to you. This whole event was actually a joint collaboration between Hair For You For Me (H4ufme) Malaysia and Lions Club of Bukit Tengku, supported by their main sponsor Wahl.

All the proceeds of this charitable event goes to 5 designated beneficiaries Disabled Homes, Deaf Homes, Childrens’ Homes and Kidney Failure Patients. Count me in whenever there’s charity involved! :)

Here’s Mac demonstrating a Phoenix + Dragon hair tattoo

It was soon time for the finalists to come up on stage to showcase their fine works of tattoo art. The stage was very oddly shaped so I couldn’t get to shoot ALL of the contestants but here’s a few though. Let’s take a look at some of them!

I have my personal favorites, what’s yours?

reggae
This one was a fusion!
Reggae colors and dreadlocks on top

hotwheels
The flaming skull totally reminded me of Hot Wheels!

hellboy
Bloody cool Hellboy designs
Not to mention, the hair tattooist was really cute too
with hair ala dragonball character


THE NEXT ONE TOTALLY WOWED ME

features
My personal favorite :)
Look closer, you’ll see facial features,
complete with eyelashes and mascara

AND SINCE
it’s my favorite, here’s another angle of them :)

diamante
Blingblings on the sideburns yo!

rivals
More! Spot Spiderman
All of them vying to win the overall tital

When all the contestants finished doing their thang on stage with a few intervals of mysterious dance shows of dancers clad fully in a black translucent netting by A Cut Above, it was time for THE WALK of fame.

girlpower
She was the only female model being hair tattooed!

My booties were beginning to kill me. So I finally sat down after a few hours standing. When each and every finalist and their models were done with the catwalks,it was time to reveal the winner!

But while waiting, how can I not camwhore with the peeps around me ey?
