A country view of tattoo and piercing in Singapore

Singapore is a city-state, so the country page and the city page describe the same island. Treat this one as the overview: the working list of studios, more than 100 venues across Singapore, lives on the Singapore page, where it can be filtered by district.

The overview numbers are strong. 127 listed venues carry ratings, the average is 4.8, and 116 score 4.5 or above. What separates Singapore from most markets in the region is review volume rather than the scores themselves. The most reviewed studio in the category, Shadow Tattoo on Geylang Road, has 1,792 reviews against a 5.0 rating, followed by 8 Volts Tattoo with 1,121 and Yugto Tattoo Studio on Arab Street with 845. Several studios carrying four-digit or near four-digit review counts in a market this size suggests clients here leave feedback at an unusually high rate, which makes the written record a genuinely useful research tool.

Geographically the category concentrates in the central belt. Jalan Besar and the Arab Street area account for several of the most reviewed rooms, with others in Orchard and out at Ubi. There is no meaningful second city to weigh, so the real choice is between neighbourhoods and, more importantly, between artists.

Piercing shares the category with tattoo work, and the narrower listings are often the faster route: Ear Piercing for curated ear work, Body Piercing for everything else. Studios that want a presence alongside the over 50,000 businesses on the platform can start from the business signup side. For questions, the address is help@glow360.com.
