Last weekend, we had the pleasure of attending the official launch of Pink Tattoos at Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. Typically, when someone mentions “tattoo parlor”, one would picture a dark place, walls painted in black and heavy metal music playing at the background that is coupled with the sound of needles blaring. Well, not in this case.
The 1900 square foot tattoo parlor has the vibes of a kindergarten. There is just something about the place that brings you back to your younger days and makes you feel like a kid again. Definitely a much nicer environment to be in when needles are going in and out of your skin 120 times per second.
Pink Tattoos was founded 6 years ago by Lynda Chean, who use to operate solo out of her own private studio for the past 4 years. And after a few turns, she has finally ended up in Bangsar and is ready to call it home. Joining Lynda’s previously one-woman team are an eclectic mix of tattoo artists from the Malaysian scene including Fin, Yin and Khang Wei. Additionally, Pink Tattoos will constantly be on the lookout to get world class tattoo artists to come on board whether for short term stints or longer term engagements so that Malaysian tattoo enthusiasts will get the chance to collect tattoos of varying styles from across the globe without having to leave the country.
Be sure to pop by the new joint to check out the vibes and to talk to the peeps there about anything tattoo related. Or you can get in touch with them through their Facebook page.
