First is consultation, usually my clients just need to tell me three things-what do they want to get ( the theme of the tattoo), size, and placement on the body. I think it is more fun to design something unique for a client using your imagination and your style, rather than to just copy something someone likes. What are the stages of getting a tattoo? Do you develop the design with clients? Or do you just copy something someone likes? I named my shop Muse Tattoo because I always see myself as an artist and my clients are my muses, instead of drawing or painting on papers, I just use tattooing as a medium, to create artwork permanently on people ’ s skin.

Most tattoo artists these days prefer to do custom designed tattoos only, and I think tattoos should be customized because it is something you wear on your skin for life, It should be unique.Īfter spending many years living overseas, I felt that it was time to open my own tattoo studio in my hometown, Macau. I spent some time in Melbourne learning the craft of tattooing in a really busy street shop, and I must say I was heavily influenced by the tattoo culture there. A couple months later, I decided to travel to Australia and continue my apprenticeship working at different tattoo shops.

At that time I couldn’t find a decent and professional tattoo shop anywhere in Macau, so I went to Hong Kong and eventually, I got a tattoo apprenticeship in a tattoo shop. I think it can be improved by educating the public that tattooing is an art form and it should be taken seriously like any other industry.Ĭan you tell us about your studio? Why did you decide to open it?Īfter I moved back home to Macau in 2013, I decided to pursue a career in tattooing. I think one of the reasons is, young people in Macau are generally afraid to pursue what they are truly interested in, as most people fear that their interest cannot become a profession. There are very few people working as professional tattoo artists in Macau right now, maybe less than 10. What is the tattoo artist scene in Macau like? Is it growing? How can it be improved? After I moved back to Macau, I went on to find myself an apprenticeship in a tattoo shop in Hong Kong. I would spend hours drawing “tattoos” on my arms, on papers, painting on skateboards or leather jackets, and my friends said I should be a tattoo artist, so I began to pursue it after I graduated from university. I first discovered tattooing when I was a teenager. I remember my favorite subject at school was fine art. I’ve always been into art from a very young age. Why are you a tattoo artist and how did you get into the profession? She later studied the art of tattooing in Hong Kong, and now runs her own shop here in Macau, Muse Tattoo. After spending seven years living in the UK, she moved back to Macau in 2013. Grace Pun, owner of Muse Tattoo was born and raised in Macau, though she went away to school at age 16 and graduated from the University of the Arts London.
