In the world of tattoo artistry, a new wave of talent has emerged in Hong Kong, with many female tattoo artists making their mark on the scene. Based out of local private studios, these artists are embracing the digital age, offering pre-bookings online and showcasing their works on social media platforms like Instagram.

To ensure a seamless experience when booking an appointment with these artists, here are some handy tips. First, have your design concept ready and be clear about your preferences – whether you desire a freehand creation or have a specific design and placement in mind. Don’t hesitate to ask for a quote, as prices typically depend on the tattoo’s size and the ink used. Keep in mind that coloured ink may incur additional costs.

When it comes to booking, remember to check the artist’s profile for instructions. Some may accept direct messages, while others have an online booking system. Upon confirmation of your appointment, the artist will provide you with the studio’s address, as most of them operate from private locations.
