Inked with Hair/skin

So the other day Muff, my extreme hairstylist/Tjf did a tiny hair tattoo for me.




I don't trust most hairdressers 'cause of an extremely bad experience when i was 14.
Cutting my hair short is one thing, doing a hair tattoo is almost impossible..until Muff showed me from his cuts that hair tattoos are not just a gangsterrr thangg.

Muff is a self-taught Mohawk-ist who decided to do his own hair after it was screwed up by a certain barber. (seems like many of us have got bad hair experiences!) You can check him out at Mmohawk.

Muff gave me this very good opportunity to share a heartfelt thought.
One thing I hate about singaporeans is that we don't support our local talents enough. I mean, don't be a hypocrite and start supporting them only after they gain recognition overseas.
I know most of us will say "oh sg labels are always inspired by overseas brands etc etc." But have you ever thought that overseas brands may be 'copying' us as well? Ultimately, no one is original. We are developed from inspirations around us.

So why did I allow Muff to do a hair tattoo for me? There are 2 main reasons. Firstly, I've seen his other cuts, including a simple hair cut for my mom,his parents and J. I can see his passion in his cuts. He don't do them half-heartedly. You can see a 'realness' in them. Secondly, some of you may know, he is J's partner and I respect him as a close kin. Many people cut/style hair for the money. But Muff, he remains humble regardless of the compliments he receive. I can see his passion burning for a long time. (:

Even though Muff specialises in Mohawks, you can still refer to him for most haircuts.
