Tattoo shops in Singapore

Singapore, Singapore has 14 tattoo shops on the map. All 14 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. Walk-ins are worth asking about, but the good custom work everywhere books weeks out.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Singapore (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Red Sun Tattoo Art and Tattoo Diary, plus Twins Tattoo. If a studio's missing from Singapore's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Singapore

1 of the 14 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.

There's a cluster: 2 of them sit on Haji Lane, so you can string those into one walk and drive between the rest.

That's 14 stops on the Singapore tattoo shop tour. 6 more are listed below.

Tattoo tips for Singapore

A few things worth knowing before you work through Singapore's tattoo shops:

• Moisturise, don't drown it at Red Sun Tattoo Art. Thin layers of the recommended ointment. Too much suffocates the skin and slows healing.
• Aftercare is half the tattoo at Tattoo Diary. Follow the artist's instructions, not your friend's. Keep it clean, keep it moisturised, keep it out of the sun.
• Ask about the deposit. Custom pieces usually need a deposit that comes off the final price. Ask how it works before you sit down, not after.
• Keep the bandage on as directed. Second-skin or cling wrap timelines vary by artist. Follow theirs, not a forum's.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Singapore — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Singapore can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 14, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 14 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
