SUMA 3D Tattoo is a tattoo studio in unit #03-12, 150 Orchard Road, Novena, Singapore, with a 4.8 Google rating and a Facebook page as its main online presence. A good 3D tattoo is an exercise in light and shadow: contrast and perspective make a design seem to rise off the skin, and the effect lives or dies on placement, because skin stretches and ages. Anyone considering illusion or realism work should judge portfolios on healed photographs rather than fresh ones, since fine black-and-grey shading softens as it settles. Bring reference images to a consultation and expect a serious artist to steer you away from spots where the illusion will not read. For that kind of work in Singapore's main shopping district, SUMA 3D Tattoo is a handy Orchard Road stop for Novena locals and visitors.
