More and more people are choosing to get a tattoo these days. For many, a tattoo is a form of self-expression and art. Tattoos come in many different sizes, design, and colors. Whatever you choose to get, it is important that you get the tattoo from a legit tattoo artist to avoid complications, such as getting an infection because of it.
You may have noticed that there are quite a number of tattoo studios that have opened within the last few years. While this is good in the sense that you have a lot more choices on where to get inked, without a doubt some of these studios are better than others when it comes to the quality of work and service they provide. We have listed some of the best tattoo studios in Singapore.

2nd time tattoo. Great artist n helpful.
Jaesh Balachandran
Despite his incredible artistic talent, their prices are amongst the most reasonable in town and this is in my opinion the BEST VALUE tattoo shop in Singapore. I’ve got more than 50% of my body tattooed by Boon and am very happy with all his work. He is able to do excellent tattoos on dark skin which look great even after 10 +years.
