Dragonfly Tattoo

Back in the days, getting a tattoo is a taboo and people with tattoos are usually being stereotyped. However, many are more open and see tattoos as an art. I like tattoos, and have one for myself.
Getting a tattoo is not that easy. You’ll need to really sure of what you want so you don’t feel regret the next day. Also, it’s important to get a good tattoo artist at a reputable tattoo shop. Two reasons for this — firstly, you can only get rid of the tattoo using laser and it might hurt or leave a scar; secondly, a reputable tattoo shop tends to have better hygiene and you want to avoid them reusing the needles.
Ok, back to Dragonfly Tattoo. The shop at 1Utama is located at the top floor at the link between the old and new wing. If you are coming from the old wing, the shop will be on your right. Apart from permanent tattoo, they do temporary tattoo/​airbrush tattoo, body piercing, tattoo removal and customized airbrush t-​shirt too.
I would advice you to have an idea of what you want before going to the shop. It might not be an exact design, but you can give the artist a few designs that you fancy and they will help you to put them together. My artist was Wyn, and I gave her 2 different designs that I wanted to combine. I checked in with her shortly, and she came up with a design that I like a lot. She’s very patience and gentle. Knowing it was my first, she took her time and that really helped make me less nervous.
I took her 3 hours to complete my tattoo, and I wouldn’t lie by saying it’s totally painless. Having said so, it’s not as painful as you thought (of course it depends on which body part you are getting your tattoo), but it was bearable for me. She’s very friendly and kept my mind busy by talking to me — it really helped to have some distraction at that time. I actually went back recently to do some touch-​up on my tattoo and learnt that Wyn has been transferred to the branch in Mid Valley.
If you are looking to get a tattoo yourself, do check out their website for their tattoo artist. They have a profile for each of the artist so you can choose the one that you like.
