Charlotte Tattoo. Makeup. Hair is a private studio in Central West Singapore, established in 2008 and named after the owners' daughter, Charlotte. The studio operates out of NEWest on West Coast Drive, close to Clementi, Bukit Timah and Holland Village.
The tattoo side of the studio is led by resident artist Nick Lim, who brings over 25 years of international tattoo experience. He is known for a "light-handed" approach and a signature "Minimum Bleeding" technique, built on deep anatomical knowledge and aimed at faster healing and vibrant, long-lasting pigment. Nick works from a private suite rather than a typical high-traffic shop, offering a calm, clinical, boutique setting with sterile equipment and new needles and inks for every client.
Hair and makeup services are led by Vivian (Viv) Kuit, a former Mediaworks (Mediacorp) hair and makeup stylist. Viv specialises in precision cutting and restyling, creative and corrective colouring, and hair treatments, using premium products from brands including Hikari Scissors Japan, Schwarzkopf Germany, Shiseido Japan and Nook Italy, along with the Color Canvas System from the USA. She also offers bridal and party makeup paired with hair styling.
The studio has been featured by outlets including Singapore Finest Tattoo, Best In Singapore Tattoo, and Top Tattoo in Singapore, and has been listed among the 13 Best Tattoo Artists in Singapore. It operates strictly by appointment, with online scheduling available for hair services, tattoo consultations and custom tattoo drawings. The studio supports flexible instalment payment options including Atome and GrabPay Later.
Charlotte Tattoo. Makeup. Hair has operated out of Central West Singapore since 2008, named after the owners' daughter. Rather than a typical high-traffic tattoo shop or salon, the studio is set up as a private suite — a calm, clinical, boutique space located at NEWest on West Coast Drive, close to Clementi, Bukit Timah and Holland Village.
The studio's tattoo work is led by resident artist Nick Lim, who brings more than 25 years of international experience to the Singapore tattoo scene. Nick is known for a "light-handed" approach, a technique developed over decades that prioritises client comfort and skin integrity. His signature "Minimum Bleeding" method is grounded in deep anatomical knowledge, aiming for faster healing times and vibrant, long-lasting pigment — a detail the studio notes is particularly suited to Singapore's tropical climate, where light-touch work can mean less scabbing during recovery.
The tattoo menu spans fine-line work and custom concept design through to bold black-and-gray pieces, sleeves, half-body tattoos, and cover-ups for clients looking to transform old or poorly done ink into something they're proud to wear. Every session takes place with sterile equipment and new needles and inks, in a private, one-on-one setting rather than a shared shop floor.
Alongside the tattoo studio, Charlotte offers hair and makeup services led by Vivian (Viv) Kuit, a former Mediaworks (Mediacorp) hair and makeup stylist. Viv's background in fast-paced television production informs her approach to precision cutting, restyling, and both creative and corrective colouring — including balayage and copper-tone colour work. She uses premium products from established international brands: Hikari Scissors from Japan, Schwarzkopf from Germany, Shiseido from Japan, and Nook from Italy, alongside the Color Canvas System from the USA. Viv also offers bridal and party makeup paired with hair styling for clients preparing for a special occasion.
The studio has picked up coverage from several Singapore-focused directories and publications, including Singapore Finest Tattoo, Best In Singapore Tattoo, and Top Tattoo in Singapore, and has been named among the 13 Best Tattoo Artists in Singapore by at least one outlet.
Charlotte Tattoo. Makeup. Hair operates strictly by appointment, with online scheduling available for all hair services, tattoo consultations, and custom tattoo drawing sessions. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a booking, and arriving more than 15 minutes late or missing an appointment results in forfeiture of that deposit — a policy the studio frames around treating every appointment as a crafted, one-on-one experience.
For tattoo aftercare, the studio advises keeping the initial wrap on for 2 to 4 hours, cleansing gently, and applying a thin layer of antiseptic for the first week before switching to a regular body cream — while avoiding sun exposure, soaking, and scratching during the healing period.
Charlotte Tattoo. Makeup. Hair is located at 1 West Coast Drive #01-36, NEWest, Singapore 128020. Appointments and enquiries can be made via WhatsApp or phone at +65 9652 2546, or by email at [email protected]. The studio also supports flexible instalment payment options, including Atome and GrabPay Later.
