Got my 1st tattoo in Korea🇰🇷my parents r not aware🫢

Finally got my very 1st tattoo after contemplating for the longest time! My friend recommended me this tattoo artist @conte_tt (on instagram) and my bf & I immediately fell in love with his style of work 🥵🖤 His work are reasonably priced and defo cheaper thn SG 😌

📍Location: Articent Ink⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀

2nd floor, 30-5, Yanghwa-ro 16-gil, Mapo-gu

Alight at Hongdae Station and Exit 9

7 minutes wall to destination (he will send you a map after u make a booking!)

🤑 Price:

For my arm, I did

7cm Lettering + 3.5cm Design for SGD125

📓 Booking:

Just send him a DM on instagram! He can speak simple english and he replies really quickly. About 2-3weeks before my trip, I sent him a screenshot of the “sample” style/work that I want from his past instagram post and told him the wording and design that I wanted. He thn drew out what I envisioned for and sent me a draft few days before my trip. I gave him some feedback and he did the revised version vry promptly! As I am not sure how long/big I want my tatts to be, he printed a few stencils for me to decide on the day itself 😇

🤩 Experience:

- Pain Level 1/10 (as what I described in the video)

- He is very gentle, friendly and polite!

- Give 5/5 result 🌟

- After tattooing, he dm me on what to do for the after-care of my tattoo. so for newbies like me , dont have to worry at all!

- He did recommend some after-care products but I chose to buy n use “Bepanthen Wounded Skin Ointment” cream *got a baby logo on the box* which can be easily found in the pharmacy there/ in SG (recommended by all my frens that have tattoo)

- I hv my tattoo for over a month now and there’s no sign of allergies/ side effects 🥹🙏🏼
