Hocktattoo is a tattoo studio in unit #08-12 at 50 Gambas Crescent, Woodlands, Singapore, with a 5.0 rating on Google. In tattooing, the surest test of an artist is healed work rather than fresh photographs. A portfolio of pieces a year or so old shows whether fine lines have kept their crispness and how the shading has settled into the skin. The other thing to insist on is a proper conversation before the needle: placement, size and how a design will age on your skin all deserve an unhurried talk, and a good tattooist will refine an idea, or gently talk you out of one that will blur in a decade. For a permanent piece in Singapore's north, Hocktattoo's unit on Gambas Crescent is well worth a look.
