Chakra Tattoo is a tattoo studio at 23 Norris Rd, #01-01, in Little India, Singapore, carrying a perfect 5.0 Google rating. A tattoo is for life, so the choosing matters as much as the doing, and a good artist will talk through size, placement and how a design will settle into your skin before the needle is ever picked up. Placement deserves particular thought: fine lines on fingers and work over joints tend to fade and blur sooner, and Singapore's strong sun will soften any piece that isn't looked after. Healing is half the outcome, too — keep fresh ink clean, dry and out of the sun for the first fortnight or so, and the lines stay crisp for years. For anyone weighing up their next piece, Chakra Tattoo sits in the middle of Little India, one of Singapore's most colourful neighbourhoods.
