When pop singer Shontelle decided to get some new ink, she wanted to get something that would make her feel a little closer to home.

The Impossible singer made a little trip to famous tattoo artist Kat Von D’s High Voltage Tattoo shop to have a new tattoo done earlier this year and it was all captured on TLC’s LA Ink.

Shon’s tattoo of choice was the broken trident seen on the flag of her home island, Barbados. The singer also uses the trident in her logo and says it is important and special to her.

“I’ve had to move away from Barbados and I really miss home,” Shontelle said while explaining her artwork decision. “So I kind of just wanted to get a tattoo that is paying homage to my home.”

Shontelle performed live for hundreds of screaming kids and their families at the 2010 Family Friendzy free event in Syracuse today. Unfortunately the “Meet & Greet” session was cut short with a long line of fans still awaiting to meet her, some who even waited almost 2 hours – simply because the Syracuse police decided to take Shontelle away and escort her inside a nearby building. Whilst dozens of fans rushed behind her, they waited an additional hour outside in hopes of still getting an autograph. Reports claim that when they saw her depart in a van sometime after that, people desperately started snatching other fans signed posters!

For all the Syracuse fans who attended the event, Shontelle sincerely apologizes for what had happened and feels terrible. She looks forward to coming back to perform for her second time, and making sure that the incident never happens again.

In the final installment (Part 3) of Shontelle’s mini series called ‘Uncovered’, she talks about “Say Hello To Goodbye”, her love for Alicia Keys and meaning behind the title of her new album NO GRAVITY (due to release September 14th).

Short clip of Shontelle performing “Impossible” at the “Zachary’s” nightclub in Long Island, NY.

As if Shontelle’s catchy song “T-Shirt” wasn’t hard enough to get out of your head just two summers ago, her newest single, “Impossible,” is a ballad that’s worth singing along to as well. The singer stopped by the J-14 office where she chatted about her upcoming album, touring with Beyoncé, and her friendship with fellow Barbados native Rihanna.

J-14: What’s the story behind your single “Impossible”?
Shontelle: First of all, I really felt like ballads were missing from radio for a minute, and I knew that there was no song out there for heartbroken people. I just wanted to put a song out that gave people hope — things may not work out the way you want them to, but you can move past it and everything is gonna be okay.

I know that a lot of people have a similar story and sometimes you need to feel like you’re not alone. I knew that I might have to tell embarrassing stories about myself, but I might help someone realize, ‘Okay, if Shontelle can figure it out, then I’ll be alright.’ It’s not the end of the world — you can move on, and this is song is going to help you find the strength somehow.

J-14: When did you realize that you might have to break up with the boy you’re singing about in the song?
Shontelle: You get tired of hearing people. A big part of why you hurt when someone cheats on you or when you break up is because everyone is going to find out. You’re always going be embarrassed when someone betrays you like that or you’re walking around blind.

You feel really stupid because you feel like here I am walking around like, ‘I have this hot boy and everything is all good,’ and then he’s really not there and you’re looking really stupid, giving everything to this person who really isn’t giving their all to you. It’s very embarrassing.

J-14: Is it true that you wanted to go for more of a rock vibe on the new album?
Shontelle: A lot of people wouldn’t think that this — I am this girl who grew up in Barbados — but I listened to so much rock music growing up. Green Day is one of my favorite bands! I’m very much influenced by that music. People don’t really know that rock spawned from reggae and ska and all that music that is so natural to us where I’m from, so I feel like it’s just a natural attraction that makes me want to infuse it into my music.

My album has a lot more drums and guitars now — the last one had a lot of piano. It’s a little known fact about me that I play the drums, so I really love rhythm and bass. I like messing around with “Empire State of Mind” or “Umbrella,” those sorts of beats where it’s very simple but so catchy and they just make you move and want to dance.
