Collection : Amy Winehouse Tattoos

She's already had enough tattoos to put a heavy metal rocker to shame, but Amy Winehouse's latest body etching appears to be her strangest yet. The troubled singer, 24, was spotted showing off an American eagle behind a stars-and-stripes ankh cross as she left her London home yesterday. As the king of birds, the eagle symbolises might and spiritual growth.

The Egyptian hieroglyph symbol of the ankh cross means eternal life and is a popular etching for many celebrities, including Dennis Rodman, Shaquille O'Neal and Erykah Badu. Winehouse decided to get the tattoo last month in a bid to boost her confidence as she struggles to overcome her drug troubles and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil's jailing.

It is believed Winehouse spent several hours under the needle at her favourite tattooist's parlour in Camden Town, North London. Earlier this month, Winehouse was forced to cover up her topless woman tattoo when she performed at the Grammys so as not to upset any prudish audiences. Instead of covering the busty lady with make-up, Winehouse drew a bra on her with black felt-tip pen.

Her mother Janis recently admitted she hated the tattoos and blamed the influence of Fielder-Civil, who has the word "Amy" tattooed behind his ear. Janis told the Sunday Mirror: "She'd never taken class As before she met Blake. And that's when the tattoos went bananas, too. That dreadful one saying 'Blake's' on her breast - I hate that.

"It was like when Amy got her Daddy's Girl tattoo. She asked me, 'Do you want me to get mummy tattooed, too?' I said, 'No, don't worry'. That's not my thing." Winehouse is currently receiving outpatient rehab treatment at the Capio Nightingale Clinic in North London.

Morbid Accessories by Julia DeVille

Posted: 27 Jul 2011 08:21 PM PDT

Combining her love of taxidermy with her love of jewelry, Australian jewellery designer Julia DeVille combines her creative accessory output with the art of taxidermy for a gorgeously morbid result.

Inspired by nature, history, life and death, Julia DeVille's work are emphasizing the beauty of life in relation to its end rather than the standard gruesome morbidity we've come to relate with passing on. From the immortalisation of baby animals like kittens and deer with sparkling jewels in their eyes to the molding of gold and silver in the delicate nuances of turtledove bones, Julia DeVille's work is a celebration of even the shortest breath taken.

Using only animals that have died from natural causes, increasingly DeVille finds that people who have encountered her work and recognize art in the afterlife donate the majority of her materials.

Julia now produces her jewellery under the label DISCE MORI. Her artworks are created under her own name.

Kerala Temple's Secret Vaults Found £12bn Treasure

Posted: 25 Jul 2011 04:34 AM PDT

A treasure trove of gold, diamonds and precious stones worth billions of pounds has been found from secret underground chambers beneath a 16th century temple in the southern Indian state of Kerala.

It's like a scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. According to locals, generations of rich Travancore maharajas who built the temple more than four centuries ago secreted immense riches within six of its thick underground stone vaults, three of which had not been opened since 1872. Official sources said vaults 'B' remain to be opened and are expected to disgorge many more royal treasures.

Built in the 16th Century by the kings of Travancore, Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple has been controlled by a trust run by the descendants of the Travancore royal family since Independence. It has historically been a royal temple, but offerings to the Lord Vishnu, in the form of gold and jewellery, have come not just from Travancore kings and other Kerala royalty but millions of ordinary devotees.

"Though we knew that offerings made to the temple by devotees for the last 500 years were lying in these secret cellars, the scale of the treasure has definitely surprised us," temple official Hari Kumar told the Guardian.

Historians estimate the total value of the found treasure to be worth much more as the historical value of the objects recovered would need to be assessed along with their "astronomical" intrinsic value.

Several temples in India have billions of dollars worth of wealth as devotees donate gold and other precious objects as gifts to spiritual or religious institutions that run hospitals, schools and colleges. The Tirumala temple in eastern Andhra Pradesh state is reported to have three tonnes of gold, a third of which it deposited with the State Bank of India last year, while spiritual guru Sai Baba, who died in April, left behind an $9bn estate.
