Some pointers before getting a tattoo: get a good night sleep before you come for your tattoo the next day, and also Do eat well before you come for your tattoo appointment, and also try to take it easy and relax, as anxiety and stress will often cause more discomfort than it already is if its your first time,(we also don't want your blood level to drop too low and might cause u to feel faintly or lightheaded) if u really don't want to take any pain or discomfort at a lower level, I suggest that u ask for the "Painless Option" we uses Dr Numb Cream to apply on your skin prior tattooing (but do note that u have to come 1.5 hours earlier for the cream to settle onto you skin.)

On our part, as your tattooist, we are trying every bits of means and ways to make this journey most comfortable possible for you. So on your part, do read and try to follow the above paragraph, it will really make your "Getting Tattooed" process a breeze.

On a side note, We now Accept NETS payment again.

Cheers and hope to see you soon!
-Joe Finch :)

Butterfly add-on to current Rose tattoo we did months back.

I see a new trend coming in, where people call-in or email to ask for quotation, and compare prices,which is a healthy trend for me. But, what is not healthy is that, these certain individual "FORCE" me to cater to their pricing, which was quoted by other tattoo studio, which i really felt its really Dumb!

if u wish to get inked by us, respect us by respecting our prices. (come on guys! you know how flexible we are right!)

I know my prices are reasonable and it justifies our workmanship. so if tattoo shop 'XYZ' gives u a price which is much cheaper, so please by all means , go to them. Remember to shop for Quality, not just cheapo prices, tattoos are permanent and I'm sure u dont want any screw-ups right..

"The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten"

Hello Folks, sorry for the slow update, I really am doing my best to post it every monthly, its just that work is really taken a toll on us. well, just to update you guys out there, we already started taking appointments for November/December. Do also bear in mind , that the waiting list for custom tattoo is usually is 3-7 weeks wait, so don't wait till the last minute, before u decided to book an appointment with us.

Walk-ins is still possible on a daily basis. (but sometimes the waiting time might be a lil longer then usual) and also we reserve the right to refuse the job on the day itself, if we feel that we do better via appointments ( do note: that sometimes we need to redraw, or even sketch from scratch, so as to especially accustomed to our clients needs and also to make sure its top quality handiwork on your skin). But Hey!, u never know unless u try right..so just feel free to make an appointment before u swing by. who knows, u might just be lucky enough to be squeeze in our schedule. we're just a bunch of cool dudes just wanting to make sure our clients (You, yes.. You) gets the best!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I love my Job and I love inking you awesome people out there!!, But some people are just damn rude. I guess everyone wants to their tattoo done asap nowadays, with no questions asked. Its a shame to think that we are like a fast food joint or sorts, to cater to everyone needs instantly. Reason is that we cannot humanly respond to everyone in a timely manner at the moment ,as we work our ass off 70 hours a week to try and take care of the 50 daily emails and 35 other messages from social networks as well as customer inquiries from walk-ins, whatsapp and even sms’es .I hear you and respect your inputs and opinion , but so much so.. i need to cater on a first come, first serve basis.. , I am trying my best to cater to everyone's need as my workload is overwhelmed . So people, be patient & be nice in ur emails and messages and wait for your timely reply, Peace – Joe Finch

* P/S : If you are interested in getting tattooed at Ink By Finch, then simply walk in. No appointment necessary. We tattoo on a first come, first served basis. ( to simply put it, do walk in, if u don't mind the wait.. ) if not.. Call or Sms 9623 4477 to secure your appointment slots!

**********************************************************************

Words have been around that, hey,, "the guys at ink by finch, their machines hurts less eh, so much lesser pain and so silent . .."

well, Hell yea , its true! We have been using pneumatic neuma machines before and now switches to rotary tattoo machines, which hits lesser pain then Normal noisy coil machine we've used for years.

the feather tattoo above is done strictly on rotary machine , and the biomech tattoo was started with coil machine , and finish up just weeks ago with rotary (neotat) , and Oh boy, the feedback i get from my long time customer/friend was : Finch!! you should have used this on me years ago man!! this hurts sooooooooo much lesser. :)

so peeps, just to let you guys know , yea, the rumors are true.. we got nothing to hide , or nothing to be secretive about. We end0rsed Neotat tattoo machines ( http://www.taptatdaddio.com ) and proudly uses them -JF

Glenn's Koi Leg Sleeve - 2010

Well, i got these 2 images from different people which email me and asking me , if i can do stuff like that. when i open up the attachment. i was surprised to see my own past works, And happy that people wanting to get tattoo like these..

Well, and my approach is don't get exactly the same, get something similar or i can fully custom a brand new tattoo with those design that u want as reference, right!? but NO, they rather duplicate it and self assuring that it look good as its already on other peoples' skin. LOL

so much so, the dude wanting the koi tattoo did came over and we're in the midst of completing his koi sleeve with tibetian skulls. with a different type of koi and color of course.- ( I'll post up pics once upon completion)

u know what surprises me. the power of internet. u can find almost anything on the web.

i got a lot of emails asking me about UV tattoo, well UV tattoo can only be seen under black light, (pubs, clubs, disco and so on). and also u cant be able to tell it under broad day light. prices are starting from SGD$50 for UV tattoo.

Painless tattoo is also available , we would need u to come 40mins to 1 hour earlier prior ur tattoo appointment so we can apply the numbing lotion on ur skin. it can last up to 4 hours with no pain. Do also check out www.drnumb.com for more info , or alternatively u can email us if u have any queries or concerns. thanks! - Joe Finch :)

KURO SUMI TATTOO INK

2008-04-14T16:04:00.000-07:00

[heart jumped when i open up package]

[more then half of what i ordered ruined]

[just look at the fuck up packaging , how the fuck is this gonna withstand from America to Singapore]

Kuro Sumi , is one word mostly asked by local tattooist in singapore, peeps thinks like this is a godsent ink. but peeps also dunno how much the hassle is to order from suppliers when they dont give 2 fucks about packing them tight and nicely with full of bubble foam for support. i just hate it when the inks comes in leaking all over and damage. This, i must say is the most outrage , destroyed inks i recieved so far. I wish this screwed up supplier knows how i am feeling now, after spending so much money on this , and i cant even fuckin sell it for nuts, let alone, i got no heart to use it at all. should have stick to my Dynamic instead.

Alright now people, INK BY FINCH (Peninsula Shopping Centre #02-30) and INK BY FINCH 2 (Peninsula Plaza #02-42) is not not associated to any other tattoo shops or parlour or kitchen scratchers. So stop asking about if we are connected to other shops or this nor that, or comparing prices or work with other tattoo parlour.SO STOP COMPARING! WE ARE NOT INTERESTED TO HEAR!

I'm proud to say that in our studios, that most customers turns out to be friends,
as i felt that tattooing is very personal and the interaction between
tattooist and client got to be strong in order for great works to be achieved.

i felt its real silly for the tattooist or piercer to be arrogant or stuckup, as if they are the only ones which does this trade.Sorry, i just have to rant it out now, alot of fuckup people in my industry thinks they are tattoo gods or some fucking freehand masters.

And lastly to tattoo collectors, if u like an artist for his work, then be willing to pay for his asking price..
i really feel the need to respect each individual artist work and pricing, just dont come to me and said, i want his work style or standard and cheaper pricing to me. i got my own style and pricing, if u like my work or even if ya wanna be friends, u are welcome to come to me, if not.. i rather not know u :)

thank you all for your support, as i've got loads and loads of pics to load up, i try to upload it every week or fortnight. For those of you who asked me the other time, hey mr finch. why is your price so low? i simply said, its for passion, i do and quote what i think and feel its right for my artwork and my clients. so she replied, urs still low leh, so its is cheapskate quality. its up to u to judge, u like it u do, dont like it , no worries, its a no obligation situation here.

cheers to all, and too my all groupies and fans... ( wah, i talk lke superstar like that.. wahahaha)

[ Benevolence - characterizes the true goodness of the
mind and spirit,the unbiased kindness to do good.
It confers thought and regard for the welfare of
other people, and finds expression in sympathy
and kindly gentleness and compassion, with
charitableness and kindness. It is the expression
of agape love (Greek word for unconditional love) ]

[ sneak preview of Mr. Finch.. ]

Well, to be totally honest, i never like to be in photos , that's why i never post up any pics of myself , mostly my work or my crew.Then one day, i happen to came across 1 of my regular client blogs. and i see my pic in her blog, well i guess its not so bad after all to have a few pics of me in my own blog, so i stole it away from them. hahaha.. well, guess i ain't doing nothing wrong here. after all, its my pic. lol

[ currently using this brand of grey wash ink since mid June '07 ]

Well, as usual , kind of hard to sleep, so dig out my older tattoo work pics, and stumble
Across one of the few grey wash pics i did for a clients and friends . Shabby work which
I believe I can have room for improvement. Most of my greys wash works I did; I simply cut my black ink with Listerine or witch hazel at various tones of grey. Just seems too monochromatic to me. As of now am switching to this grey wash
Ink by silverback.
4 tones of awesome grey which i strongly believe can kick start my grey works into more dynamic art pieces. it’s very diluted and am slowly accustoming to it. So far the results are good.

Days have been real fast for me lately, haven't have much time to catch up with myself and doing the things i love besides tattooing ( which is my passion, of course! ) but i try not to be too involved with work outside my workspace, i guess i just need an outlet to let it all go, it all seems so fast and it all happens so quick . And gosh, before i know it , i already felt so burnt out. guess i just need to feel loved again and
hang around with more positive peeps with
good vibrations flowing towards me. Heh!
