Creative Tattoo Studio is a tattoo studio on the second floor of Katong Shopping Centre, on Mountbatten Road. Appointments are booked through iNKPPL. The studio is known for long working relationships. Several customers have come back over ten years, and one has had full sleeves on both arms and a full back done at the studio. Customers describe the artist as consistent, patient and unhurried, and they say each piece is worked out with them before the first line. A customer having their first tattoo says the artist explained the design, the likely pain and the aftercare clearly, and that they felt at ease. Customers also praise the studio as clean and professional, and hygiene comes up in several reviews. Discussion and planning with the artist are part of the process, and the reviews say this matters for artwork that is personal to each person. Within a kilometre there are six other tattoo studios on Open Locally. Of the five with ten or more reviews, none is rated higher than this one. Tattooswithjoy, 0.1 km away, and Mild Manners Tattoo Co, 0.2 km away, are the closest, and both have more reviews.
