Singapore, being one of the most advanced countries in Asia, has become a global center for all things modern and contemporary. Alongside Japan and South Korea, Singapore, is becoming a melting pot of people from around the world, all yearning to experience modern life at its best. However, still being a culture- and tradition-oriented country, Singapore is standing at a rather divided line between the youth enjoying tattoos and body art, and the older generations frowning upon this new trend.<\/p>\n
The younger generations are experiencing a moment when it comes to tattooing. For decades tattoos have been associated with delinquency and rebellion. But as society progresses and moves away from nonsensical prejudice, more and more tattoo parlors are popping up around Singapore.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, the traditional taboos related to tattoos are still pretty common in Singapore. More than half of Singaporeans hide their tattoos and never talk about them, while the other half show off their tattoos but\u00a0risk being ‘unemployable’<\/a>\u00a0by the traditional companies. Nevertheless, the tattoo boom Singapore is experiencing is going strong and more and more young Singaporeans are jumping in on the tattoo trend.<\/p>\n So, if you’re in Singapore and you want to get a tattoo, you probably have a lot of questions. One of them is probably related to the tattoo cost. Therefore, in the following paragraphs we’ll talk about the approximate tattoo cost locals and foreigners can expect, as well as explore some of the best places to get tattooed while in Singapore. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n The tattoo cost in Singapore is pretty similar to the tattoo cost in Western countries, like the USA. The more reputable a tattoo parlor is, or the more experienced\/prominent a tattoo artist is, the more expensive the tattoo. This is pretty logical and expected.<\/p>\n Now, when we talk about the exact cost, we cannot provide exact numbers, but rather the approximate cost of a regular-sized tattoo. That is because prices vary, and they also often vary for locals and foreigners.<\/p>\n During our research, we have come across several tattoo parlors in Singapore offering a starting price for a tattoo as low as S$60. Now, this is of course for a smaller tattoo design. The tattoo cost is also the hourly rate for the tattoo artist. In some tattoo parlors, you can expect to pay up to S$200 for a smaller design. These are often the tattoo parlors located in highly visited and prominent areas of Singapore. They also employ some of the best tattoo artists in Singapore and from around the world, which additionally affects the tattoo cost or the hourly rate.<\/p>\n The tattoo cost for a medium to big tattoo design generally starts at S$200 and goes up to S$400. Of course, the tattoo cost is determined not only by the size of the tattoo<\/a>, but also by the color<\/a>, the design (whether it is custom or not), the intricacy of the tattoo, and so much more. So, if you want to save a buck but you still want a pretty visible tattoo, then you can always get a better deal by going for black & grey, simpler tattoo designs.<\/p>\n Now that you know the approximate cost of tattoos in Singapore, we can take a look at some of the best tattoo parlors in Singapore if you want to go for it and get tattooed;<\/p>\nTattooing in Singapore<\/h2>\n
