Tattoos are a bit of a taboo here in relatively conservative Singapore. Once associated with gangsters and ‘ah bengs’, tattoos are shedding those old connotations and are becoming increasingly recognized for the art form that they are.
With more and more tattoo parlours popping up, and more and more young people sporting tattoos, Singapore’s body art scene is certainly healthy and growing.
This year, tattoo enthusiasts all over Singapore can attend the Singapore Ink Show, the largest gathering of international and local tattoo artists in Singapore!
Happening at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre between April 21-23, this event aims to immerse Singapore in the global tattoo culture.
There will be seminars from portrait specialists Nikko Hurtado and Jee Sayalero, as well as daily contests where tattoo artists from all over the world get to show off their chops at various tattoo types and styles!
The show will also give you the chance to get up close and personal with world-class tattoo artists from around the world, and even get inked by them! To avoid disappointment, do book a slot with your preferred tattooist in advance.
Whether you have tattoos running up and down your body or don’t have a stitch of ink on you, feel free to attend the show! There is no better time or place than this to celebrate the beauty and diversity of body art in Singapore!
