Ganesha is also known as the destroyer of vanity, selfishness and pride.
A story, taken from the Puranas, says that Kubera, the treasurer of Svarga (heaven) and god of wealth,came to Mount Kailasa to receive the darshan (vision) of Shiva. As he was extremely vain, he invitedShiva to a feast in the fabulous city, Alakapuri so he could show him all his wealth. Shiva smiled and said to him: ”I can not go, but you can invite my son Ganesha. But I warn you that it is a voraciouseater.”
This is my awesome tattoo of Kim Pine, Knives Chau, and Envy Adams, from the Scott Pilgrim comic. I’m in love with Scott Pilgrim, so I wanted to get something awesome from the books and this is what I picked. The tattoo is on my forearm and was done by Jeff McMullen at Whole shot in Berkley, MI. Jeff was one of my best friends in high school and I always admired his skills, and I’ve had 3 tattoos done by him, and plan on getting more!
The tattoo that I got as a present from my teacher and friend Langa of Sao Paulo, Brazil.
My first tattoo. Drawn by my friend Laura and inked by Thomas of Stigma Tattoo, Copenhagen. Got her when I turned 18.
I know this sounds a bit smooshy wooshy, but looking at my tiny pretty owl makes me calm down and feel positive. There’s just something strangely calming over her eyes, which I can’t really explain. And she’s so colorful and vibrant that I can’t help feel a bit positive every time I look at her. I think I might be a bit in love.
Random info: my superstitious Thai family believe that she’s the reason why I have trouble sleeping at night. Hah.

I got both of these tattoos done at “Independent Tattoo” in Fenwick Island, DE. An absolutely superb tattoo parlor. The lyrics are from the song “Baba O’Riley” by none other than The Who. And the signature underneath that is tattooed on is from the legendary Roger Daltrey of The Who. I had the privilege to meet him while he was touring “Tommy” in 2011 and asked him to sign my arm and that I was going to get it tattooed on, to which he replied, “Oh wow, I guess I should do this right then.”
