Lunar Tattoo 墨妍 is a tattoo studio at SoHo2 The Central on Eu Tong Sen Street, in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown. Run by a trio of resident artists — @winnie__waiyin, @deck_ward and @pokemepris on Instagram — the studio takes tattoo bookings through a simple online form and handles enquiries over WhatsApp and email, keeping the path from idea to appointment short and personal.
Alongside its custom tattoo work, Lunar Tattoo runs something you won't find at most studios: a beginner-friendly Leather Tattoo Workshop. In a hands-on session capped at two participants, you can learn the fundamentals of tattooing on leather instead of skin, choosing between three pieces — a keychain (12pm–1pm), a card holder (2pm–3pm) or a crossbody bag (4pm–6pm). Slots are limited and allocated first come, first served, and if your chosen session is full the studio will contact you about another available date.
Whether you're booking a custom piece or trying the craft for the first time on leather, everything starts through the studio's forms or its WhatsApp business line, making Lunar Tattoo an approachable entry point for the tattoo-curious and committed collectors alike.
Tucked into SoHo2 at The Central on Eu Tong Sen Street, Lunar Tattoo 墨妍 is a small Chinatown studio that approaches tattooing from two directions. The first is the classic one: custom tattoos, designed and inked by the studio's resident artists for clients who come with an idea and leave with a piece of their own. The second is far rarer — a beginner-friendly leather tattoo workshop that invites complete newcomers to pick up a machine and learn the fundamentals of tattooing on leather rather than skin.
The studio keeps its online presence deliberately lean. Its Linktree page acts as a front door, and everything a visitor needs flows from there: a booking form for tattoo appointments, a sign-up form for the leather workshop, a WhatsApp business line for quick questions, and an email address for everything else. Behind it all are three artists — @winnie__waiyin, @deck_ward and @pokemepris on Instagram — whose handles and work give the studio its identity.
Every tattoo starts with the studio's booking form, a short Google Form linked prominently on its page. Fill in your details and the team takes it from there, following up to shape your idea into an appointment. Prefer to ask something first? Lunar Tattoo invites enquiries over WhatsApp, where a dedicated business account handles messages, or by email at [email protected]. It is a low-pressure way in: ask about a concept, check whether the studio is the right fit, or get answers before you commit to the chair.
The Leather Tattoo Workshop is the studio's most distinctive offering, pitched squarely at beginners. 'Dive into the world of tattoo artistry,' the studio says, promising a hands-on experience for anyone eager to explore their creative side and learn the fundamentals of tattooing — on leather, with no skin (or prior experience) required.
Sessions are intentionally tiny: two pax per session, with three pieces to choose from. A leather keychain session runs from 12pm to 1pm, a leather card holder session from 2pm to 3pm, and the leather crossbody bag — the biggest canvas of the three — gets a longer 4pm to 6pm slot. Spaces are limited and allocated first come, first served; if your chosen slot is fully booked, the studio will contact you to arrange another available date.
Whatever you pick, the deal is the same: you leave with a leather piece you tattooed yourself. For anyone who has wondered what tattooing actually feels like — the weight of the machine, the steadiness it asks of your hand — the workshop offers a low-stakes answer before any talk of skin.
Lunar Tattoo sits at #04-170 SoHo2 The Central, 12 Eu Tong Sen Street, in the heart of Chinatown. Because both tattoos and workshops run on booked sessions, the practical first step is the booking form or a WhatsApp message rather than walking in cold.
A few practical notes make planning easier. Move early if your heart is set on a particular workshop slot, since the schedule fills on a first-come, first-served basis and the studio may offer an alternative date if your choice is full. Sessions are capped at two people, which makes the workshop a neat outing for a pair. And if you would rather talk before you type, the WhatsApp line is the fastest route to a human answer — though email at [email protected] works just as well.
Whether you are after a custom piece from one of the three resident artists or a first taste of the craft at a leather workshop, the model is the same: reach out through the form or WhatsApp, and take it from there.
