I had my friend Naren come in today, wanting to get something to cover up the scars he had on his inner forearm region. What better thing to do over the scars? A skull of course !!
The skull image is used in several religious cultures. The Indian god Kali is pictured with skulls in her wrathful form. Within the Kabbalistic tree of life, the skull symbolizes not death but rebirth, and is a celebration, not mournful time.
In Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico, the skull is a reminder of death, but it reminds people that while death is a misfortune, it can also be seen as “the ultimate liberation.”
Gamblers enjoy using the skull as a “reverse bad luck” charm, hoping it will bring them good fortune. When used by gamblers, it is often accompanied by black cats and dice rolling seven.
Not all meanings are positive, however. The Nazi SS used the death’s head as a symbol, and many neo-Nazis still use the symbol in tattoos to this day.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages who have helped in contributing to the counter hits by clicking on my site for the past year or so. I thank you all !!

The sun plays in an important role in many cultures. Several prominent early civilizations were involved in worshiping the Sun - such as the Romans, the Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas. While other cultures also paid homage to the sun, in these specific areas, the Sun was their highest god.
In Rome, the sun god was Apollo. He was thought to bring the sun each morning in a chariot across the sky. He also was considered to be the god of healing and arts.
In Egypt, the god Ra was in charge of the sun. Ancient Egyptians believed that Ra went through various transformations throughout the day, just as the sun did. He was the most important of all of the Egyptian gods, and pharohs from the fifth dynasty forward took the title "Son of Ra".
In Aztec culture, Huitzilopochtli was the god of sun and war. The patron deity of the Aztecs, it was said that he was supposed to guide the Aztecs to a promised land in the south. Human sacrifices were at one time made to this god in hopes of winning wars.
The rich mythology surrounding the sun means there is a wealth of different tattoo styles that can be found depicting its image. Many choose to get the sun and moon depicted together, as they are complimentary and, in some cultures, symbolize male and female power.
Others choose the blocky, tribal style of Aztec suns. The sun can also be a symbol of rebirth, so some people choose to combine it with other imagery such as Celtic Knots and Stars. The light and dark, good and evil symbolism are also a reason that people are so drawn to these tattoos.
Friends of Fad is back again.. This time prowling Orchard Road in search of interesting individuals..
We first spotted a group of dancers outside Lido... Very fascinated by their dance, we not only took a video of the dance but also took the opportunity to interview one of the dancers!
The Very Cheeky: Boy
Boy introduced himself before I could even say hi... (and yes, its his name - Boy)
He is in fact a professional dancer and he tells us that he loves dancing as he is still young and should be doing it before he grows old.
What would be the perfect dance group?
It would be a group with the same sense of dancing, music and rythem. More importantly, a dance group should be like a family.. like us...
Why are you dancing on the streets today?
We are dancing for Playlab which is an initiative started by Tangs. (Check out the 20% off that we picked up from Boy and his group of dancers)
The Hot Teacher: Noraini
As we walked aimlessly through Orchard and finally finding ourselves at Orchard MRT, we noticed this pretty girl waiting for someone. TheFadpeople plucked up some courage and decided to ask her a few qns...
Noraini, 27 is a Primary school teacher (I couldnt tell at all...) teaching somewhere in the north (thats all she would tell us...)
Is teaching the career you wanted to be in?
I was studying Engineering in Poly but when i graduated, being the only girl in the family, my mom felt that teaching is a better career choice.
How long have u been teaching? and will u move on to other careers?
I been teaching for 4 years. This year I am teaching Maths and Science. But I am always on the lookout for a better opportunity.
TheFadboy wonders why his Primary Sch Teachers were not as hot...
How would you describe a perfect day out with friends?
I would prefer a chillout session or even clubbing with my friends...
If you still have not gotten enough of the Fad friends, we will be back again next week! Catch us on Sundays (or mondays if we happen to be lazy!) Remember, if u see us on the streets, come and say hi!
A friend of mine wanted a cat tattooed on her for a very long time and she wanted something cute with colours. So, what do I do? I give her what she wants...
A Pink Pussy - Who wouldn't love that? Right? Haha !!
