Elevate your ink: Exploring Asian-inspired vertical tattoos

Tattoos present a one-of-a-kind and enduring way to visually express who you are and what you love, transforming your skin into a personal canvas. Singapore’s own EQ takes this idea to the next level, designing vibrant artwork where characters and natural elements seem to burst forth from rectangular frames, creating a stunning display on the wearer’s skin.

Celebrating the rich tapestry of Asian culture, EQ creates distinctive tattoos featuring motifs like temples, lotus flowers, cranes, and tigers. Each design is intricately detailed, reminiscent of traditional Japanese woodblock prints, and is artfully presented on the wearer’s skin. The tattoos’ elongated, rectangular shapes resemble windows, offering a peek into the concealed, miniature worlds that appear to dwell just beneath the skin’s exterior.

EQ’s artistry is heavily influenced by mythology, featuring enchanting creatures such as the Haetae, a mythical guardian known in Korean, Japanese, and Chinese folklore. In her other creations, dragons, Pokémon, and whales appear to leap or soar beyond their frames, seamlessly connecting their universe with ours.
