BORNEO TATTOO CONVENTION 2007
 Year 2007, visit Malaysia year, Borneoheadhunters
Tattoo Studio in
Kuching, brings you The 2nd Borneo International Tattoo Convention 2007 (June 29th -1st
July ) to be organized by the Sibu Municipal Council (SMC) to be held in yet
another magnificent location in the Sibu district of Sarawak, eastern
Malaysia, to most “ the centre of visiting our rich forms of cultural
and traditional ethnic diversity".
This is because Sibu is located in
the heart of Sarawak, and this is rather strategic for those who want
to travel or have plans to visit other parts of Sarawak and its places
of interest, mainly located by the mighty Rajang river, where those
who wish to travel to the upper rajang to the Baleh Kapit rapids
whereby you see and experience The ibans, their longhouses and as you
travel upper you get to where the Kayan, Kenyah and Berawans dwell,
or even take the tributaries to Punan and Kejaman territories. Sibu
is indeed the ideal centre as location is its advantage.
The venue will be at the Bukit Aup Park
(Jubilee Park) just a little about 15-20 minutes drive from the centre
of Sibu. The venue is located on top of a small mountain park
surrounded by neighboring Iban longhouses. I would say from my point
of view surrounded by all that green, perfect for the event.
The 2nd Borneo International
Tattoo Convention 2007, will bring together international acclaimed
tattoo artist from all over the world and also local talents, whereby
the Art of tattooing will be highlighted by traditional performances,
traditional music, cultural dances, tribal peace offerings to the
spirits and parades from all the major tribal cultures and what is
left of the elders who were tattooed the way it was a long time ago …
so in other word bringing you back in time when the tattoos worn by
the individual glorifies the life of the oneself.
This will be the sequel to the
preservation of a tradition and culture that only can be kept alive on
a living individual, a form of art that lives as long as we live, so
the only way to keep this tattoo culture alive is to get tattooed,
which means renewing the goals set out in 2002.
The Sarawak Borneo tattoo culture has
been known all over the world because of its cultural and traditional
roots, and as an Iban who comes from a culture and tradition and
being Sarawakian, I present to you the 2nd International
Borneo Tattoo Convention to the world and all Sarawakians, I hope
that it will bring back to life a lifeless body of this dying culture.
Thank you for the support
