New Tattoo Studio : Hustla Ink

Attention peeps! There's a new tattoo studio in town and it's called Hustla Ink!

Located at Millennium Square in PJ, the studio has been opened for the past 3 months and has already attracted a legion of fans, thanks to the excellent inking done by its resident tattoo artist Ron (watch this space for a feature on him soon!)

Sandip (Shop Manager) & Ron (Tattoo Artist)

The first thing that definitely catches your eye is the 'design' of the shop itself.....it's got this semi-goth-semi-classy look which is very appealing to the eye and very unlike other tattoo shops. Even the sitting area and 'reception' is very classy with a plush velvet couch. Think La Bodega with its bold use of deep reds and black. Very nice!

Reception area

The only thing it's lacking in is the awesome tattoo smell...which let's face it, is part of the addiction itself.
But give it time....it's still a baby after all (hmm....one wonders if they sell the smell in one of those spray-on cans??....)

Torture Work area

And then of course there are the boys, Ron and Sandip themselves who are very friendly, funny and quite insane (not in the they-need-to-be-locked-up-in-a-padded-cell way, mind you!)

The Dirty : Pricing start from RM150 (B&W) to RM200 (Colour) but it could go as low as RM100 depending on the design of course. Prices are negotiable as Ron understands what it feels like to want to get a tatt soo badly and not be able to afford it. For him, it's more about the passion for tattooing.

But personally speaking, if you plan on haggling over your tattoo price, you probably shouldn't even bother getting it done! :p

Operating Hours : Open daily from 12pm till 8pm.

Location : LOT 1046, First Floor Millenium Square, 98, Jalan 14/1, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia (Look out for their banner above Picadilly's Restaurant)

Assortment of books with tattoo designs

They have several books available for you to select your tattoo designs from. They consist of tattoo books from MPH, designs submitted by their friends, tattoo magazines, and even designs obtained from the net.

They also have Internet access and a printer

Ultrasonic cleaner and Autoclave

Ron does any form or style of tattoos but he is known for his expertise in Japanese, Religious & Gothic tatts, with a particular penchant for angel tattoos and anything that is 'dark' :p He is also more comfortable doing black & grey tatts but let me tell you, even his coloured ones are excellent.

Here are a few examples of his work....you be the judge
