Interests: Learning has to be my all-time favourite passion, and i absolutely love to learn about science, history, human culture, the natural world, metaphysical and abstract theory. Beyond that, I'm interested in anything that gives me an adrenalin rush! Yes, i'm a dyed in the wool adrenalin junkie! I play military simulation paintball, play guitar, dive, hunt, shoot (love my precision shooting!) oh, the list goes on and on and on....
Fav Music: My primary passion is metal, but i love so many different types of music. I basically love most music that has been created for the sake of musical and artistic expression itself, and not for commercial gain. I love traditional and world music, jazz, blues, rock, swing etc. and many many more who have fought against the wave of commercialist cash driven trends so supported by the mindless masses of sheople and human cattle ready for the slaughter
Vices: Buying guns... i really have to stop it!

| My Name: |
| MadManDan |
| About Me: |
Hailing from Borneo, the land of the headhunters, and living in Aotearoa New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud, how could it be possible for me to NOT be interested in tattoos? I grew up in Sibu, a Chinese merchant town in Borneo.I'm half chinese (Foochow dialect) and half european (Scottish, Irish, Norwegian, Spanish) so i've got all the warrior bloods in me! I used to travel along rivers with my father visiting traditional Iban villages, and seeing the culture and the tattoos. I moved to New Zealand, but always went back home to pay respect to my ancestors (and now my father, R.I.P). While living in New Zealand, i became exposed to modern tattooing as well as Maori Ta Moko. My godfather, and dear friend Noel Messer, is a tattooist and runs his own studio, and has done nearly all of my tattoos.
I have no time for self obsessed people who can't seem to live beyond the realms of their own boring and uninteresting lives. I love, respect, and admire those who fight for a cause and stand for what they believe in. When you grow up on a third world island, and are then educated in a first world country, it makes you realise how much suffering happens, and how insignificant and petty your problems are compared to other people, who have no voice.
I pay homage to the old world that paved the path for modern tattooing, and give my offerings and respect for those that came before me!Long live the Panjamon, and all the tribes of Borneo!
To all those who read this: Please learn and spread the word about the evils that are being perpetrated on Borneo island by greed driven timber giants Samling and Rimbunan Hijau, who are destroying the world's oldest rainforest, animals, and the culture and way of life for all the native people!!! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD! The jungle is dying! If you can do something to help, or are interested in environmental activism, please contact me!

Long live Bruno Manser! |
| About My Ink: |
My ink is all well thought out and traditional. i currently have 9 pieces. 2 tigers on each thigh (traditional and modern fusion) 1 large chinese character on my back (tao - the path), 2 bonji characters on my arms symbolising acharanatha, the god of wrath. 2 bunga teruong, (the borneo rose) on my shoulders, of the traditional Iban design, which are talismans to protect me from the evil spirits, and recently 2 more which sit on my shoulder blades
I believe that tattooing should be more than simply putting a design on your skin for the hell of it. Why is it that people will walk into a fucking studio, and simply look at something on the wall and decide right then and there that that's what they want? IT'S ON YOUR BODY FOR LIFE!
People amaze me. Tattoos used to mean something. Now they're a fucking fashion statement. People used to have tattoos to represent their culture, beliefs, ideology, religion etc. These days it's cool to have what everyone else has, or to have something they saw on Miami ink.
How sad... |

I have just finished reading your blogs ~ I guess I would be one of those Inked people with a useless profile, but am looking forward to choosing my tattoo's for meaning ~NOT~ what's In. I am only one person who will follow the links onto your blog and add my voice. Be safe my new friend ~ you are in my thoughts and prayers ~ XO ~ donna ~
