Review Body: Came across this tattoo experience and decided to go for it with the wife for her birthday. Didn't know wad to expect but the host Jerome Ang was very warm and welcoming. Gave us a quick run down of the basics and let us choose design from a whole whole of stencil that I believe was drawn and design by him. While we were waiting for the stencil to dry on the fake skin he demonstrated the various techniques and shared his vast experience and stories with us. We had plenty of fun trying to tattoo the fake skin. Grew a deeper appreciation about tattooing and tattoo artist. It's not as easy as it looks, it requires patience, skill and focus. It's definately worth it! Thanks so much for having us! Added a picture of my end product from today!

Review Body: We had a great time at State of Shiok’s tattoo workshop and would recommend this especially to anyone looking for an art jam with a unique twist. Our instructor Jerome and his fellow tattoo artists were friendly, clear, patient and encouraging in their guidance to us. They were generous in sharing their experiences and explaining the tattoo process, as well as different forms of tattoo pigments and tattoo guns used. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Thank you to the folks at State of Shiok!

Review Body: This was so cool and unlike anything I’ve ever done before! You can send a design in advance, or pick one from the wall. Three hours was more than enough time to get instruction, do some practice and then complete a piece. It’s definitely not as easy as it seems, but I was still pleased with the end results. Jerome was very accommodating and helpful. You are allowed to bring your own drinks and snacks. Definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something 100% unique!

Review Body: This was such a fun experience. I was the only person there, so got a one-on-one lesson. I like to draw and paint, and learning some beginner techniques with the tattoo machine was really great. I want to do more! Really nice space, friendly folks, and the building they're in was a treat - it's filled with creative and other businesses with a café downstairs. I highly recommend it!

Review Body: An amazing session! Everything was well prepared, and we had a wide range of designs to choose from. Shane provided a lot of constructive feedback along the way to help us with tattooing the "skin". Cosy space, and we had the choice to play our own music too. A must visit with friends and loved ones!

Review Body: That was SO interesting and a very unique experience! Never thought it would be so tricky to be a tattoer - much deeper respect for that job now (if possible at all). Every tattooed person should do this workshop! ;)
