Two people can get a tattoo from me, follow exactly the same aftercare, and still end up with slightly different healing. That is something nobody can fully promise you, and I would rather say it upfront than pretend otherwise. What I can do is show you what is in your hands. This post covers both: what is not predictable about tattoo healing, and the list of things you can control. If you want the day by day routine, my tattoo aftercare and healing guide goes through it step

Most people who message me about a pet portrait tattoo in Singapore already know what the face should look like. What they are less sure about is everything around it. Should there be a name? A flower? Their dog's favourite toy? Or nothing at all? I get this question often enough that I made a short post on my Instagram about it. The additions my clients have chosen so far include sparkles, flowers, names, paw prints, toys and even a favourite food. Here is how I think about

Getting two pets in one tattoo is one of the requests I hear most often at my private studio in Singapore. Whether it is two dogs, a dog and a cat, or a whole household, the question is always the same: how do you fit more than one pet into a tattoo without it looking crowded? This post covers how I approach it, what to send me, and what to think about before you commit. Can you really put two pets in one tattoo? Yes, and there are two ways to do it. One is a single combined

If you are getting a pet portrait tattoo in Singapore and it is your first tattoo, it is completely normal to feel a bit unsure about what the day will look like. Many of my clients are in exactly this position, and I enjoy walking them through it. This guide covers how I suggest you prepare, from the days before your appointment to the first weeks of healing. I am Jeremin, a solo tattoo artist and I have specialised in pet portraits since 2022. My studio is private and appoi

A tattoo is a small wound that you wear for life, and how it heals shapes how it looks for years. This is how I ask my clients to look after theirs. It takes about 1 to 1.5 months for a tattoo to fully settle, so please do not judge it too early. It will look different throughout the first couple of weeks, and that is normal. The first 24 hours: your second skin After the session I will cover your tattoo with a second skin, a thin clear film. Keep it on for about 24 hours. Yo

Losing a pet leaves a quiet that nothing else fills. For a lot of people, a memorial tattoo is a way of keeping them close, and of not having to explain to anyone why they miss a dog or a cat so much. I'm Jeremin, and at Onuby Ink in Singapore I draw pet memorial portraits from your own photos, so the tattoo looks like them and no one else's. This is the work I care about most. My own dog, Bueno, is where the name Onuby (one of his many nicknames) comes from, and I have done

"How big does it need to be?" is one of the first questions I get, and it is the right one to ask. With a realistic portrait, size is not just a matter of taste. It decides how much of your pet's face can survive on your skin for the next twenty years. Why small, detailed portraits struggle A realistic portrait is built from smooth tones that blend into each other. When the tattoo is too small, those tones sit too close together and start to merge. The soft shading around the

Almost everyone who books a pet portrait asks the same thing before anything else: should it be black and grey, or colour? There is no single right answer. It depends on your pet's coat, on what you love most about them, on your skin tone, and on any tattoos you already have. This guide walks through how I think about it, so you can arrive with an idea and we can fine-tune it together. What black and grey does best Black and grey is the style I would call the classic choice.

The photo you send decides how much of your pet ends up on your skin. I draw every portrait from your own photos, so a good reference makes the difference between "that looks like a dog" and "that is him." Why the photo matters more than the style Likeness comes from the small tonal shifts around the eyes, nose and muzzle, not from the fur. If those are hidden by blur, flash or a bad angle, I have to guess. What makes a good reference photo You do not need a professional phot
