Welcome to Open Up: Ink On Skin, our first-part series spanning four episodes where we shed light on the tattoo culture in Singapore. We spoke with Singaporeans — from tattooed individuals to tattoo artists — on everything you can ask about their body art, from their stories of getting their first ink to their thoughts on the stigma surrounding tattoos.
In the first episode, three tattooed Singaporeans share their tattoo stories — from the meaning behind their first ink, their tattoo regrets, and things you should never say to a tattooed individual.
