Gate 13 are an energetic, inspirational crew of talented artists, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of tattoo art and skill. They're also a lot of fun, and always ready to spend whatever time is necessary discussing customers' ideas and developing them into works of art you'll be proud to wear for the rest of your life!

You'll find the studio on the top floor of the Fortune Centre on Middle Road in Singapore (well-known to all good taxi drivers); a beacon of energy amidst the neighbouring massage shops. The zen-like simplicity of the design is intentional; and the fish swimming around in their huge tank are a kind of tribute to the Japanese tattoo speciality of all the studio artists.

Gate 13 Tattoo Studio is fathered by three dedicated tattoo artists: Shawn, Baldwin and Victor. And they have two loyal and equally dedicated apprentices, Matthew and Theodore.

All the Gate 13 crew have a drive and enthusiasm to further their skills. Their most important goal is to have customers walk out of the studio feeling justly proud of the new tattoos they'll be wearing for the rest of their lives.
