The Wild Paw Tattoo Shop is a little corner we've created to practice and better the craft we so love. It is a place for all who enjoy tattoos and tattooing. No egos and no judgement here.
Please follow the shop page on Instagram and Facebook for updates on tattoos we've done, new merchandise, shop apparel, guest artists and flash days too.
GETTING IN TOUCH
All our artists manage their own bookings and appointments. Links to portfolios and contact details can be found here. Look through their portfolios, and contact the tattooer you’d like to work with directly.
Include as much detail as you can about the tattoo you are looking to get, such as placement, rough size estimates and your budget if you have one. Feel free to attach reference images in your email as well. Providing us with all this information cuts down the back and forth emails and will help you get booked in quicker. Click here for our easy booking guide if you need help getting booked in.
We don’t have a shop manager, so we do get backed up with replies sometimes. Apologies!
GETTING TO THE SHOP
Our shop is located at 30A Bali Lane, on the 2nd floor of a nice heritage shop house, right on the edge of the Malay Heritage District. If you’re on the train, we are a short 6 minute walk from Bugis Station. Bus stops along Ophir road are a 2 minute walk and other along North Bridge Road and Beach Road are 5 minutes away. Bali Lane is a pretty narrow road, so getting off at the entrance of Bali Lane might be a good option if you’re coming by Taxi. Roadside parking is available along Arab Street, and there is a sheltered carpark in Golden Landmark Hotel and an open air one opposite Stamford Primary school.
AFTERCARE
While all the artists in our shop may have aftercare advise that may differ slightly, we generally encourage you to keep the medical bandage we’ve applied on your tattoo on for about 3 days. We have an optional aftercare balm we’ve produced ourselves that is vegan-friendly, cruelty-free and gentle on sore skin if you’d like something to aid with the healing process. Spare medical bandages and various aftercare balms are all available to purchase at the shop, whether you’ve been tattooed here or not. If you have any doubts about aftercare procedures, check in with the artist who made your tattoo as he or she would know best, since they’ve spent time working with you already.
DEPOSITS
We take deposits for appointment bookings and custom work. Deposits are generally $100, although we might, at times, require a higher deposit for bigger pieces or more complicated pieces. Deposits are not refundable, as this helps protect our tattooers from no-shows and cancellations. The deposit amount will always come off the final price of the tattoo.
