Breakfast Town Tattoo Studio is a tattoo studio in Bukit Timah, run by a single artist whose work customers praise for precision and detail. The website sets out the studio's rules before a session. Appointments are kept strictly. A deposit is forfeited if you arrive more than 10 minutes late, and a session can be rescheduled if you are five minutes late. Customers are asked not to drink alcohol for 36 hours before, to wear clothes they can afford to stain, to take their shoes off inside, and to avoid swimming for two weeks after.
The studio allows one friend to come along for a single-person session, and no one else if more than one person is being tattooed. The website says the artist may ask for an earlier arrival on the day, and that the artist takes photos and posts the finished piece on social media unless you say otherwise before the session. Taking photos of the studio is welcome, but other clients should not be filmed.
Customers describe the studio as clean, spacious and cosy. The staff are described as professional, with reasonable quotes and fast sessions. One customer returned for a second piece, and another says the artist gave good advice on where a design should sit on the body. The artist is praised for colour work and for making big pieces fit the client's idea. Our pick in Bukit Timah for a considered first tattoo or a second piece from the same artist.
