Tattoo Guides for Singapore Clients

Use this guide hub to make the next decision clearly: compare finished work, prepare a useful reference, think about placement and scale, understand the care boundary, and know what to send before visiting the Geylang studio.

Before booking

Compare the finished work

Look beyond a style label. Compare subject separation, scale, contrast and how the design follows the body.

Browse the tattoo portfolio

Understand the artist

Read Yuyi’s path from fine-art training to tattooing since 2010, plus the exact documented event record.

Meet tattoo artist Yuyi

Choose a visual direction

If black and grey is the starting point, learn how value and composition carry an image without colour.

Explore black-and-grey work

Design and placement

Define the subject

Name the person, character, symbol, animal or scene. Say what the subject means visually; a client biography is not required.

Choose useful references

Send one to three high-resolution images and explain what you like: crop, atmosphere, pose, colour or contrast.

Show scale on the body

Give the placement and approximate size. For large work, a clear placement photo helps the first planning conversation.

A reference starts a conversation; it is not a promise to copy another artist’s work or to reproduce a finished portfolio piece exactly.

Care and safety boundary

Tattoo aftercare varies with the dressing, placement and the instructions given for that tattoo. Keep the written instructions you receive and do not mix several online routines.

The current Tattoo Care safety notes explain general warning signs and public health sources while the studio-specific care sheet is being finalised.
