This is Black Ink industry. It is specialized in bodyart tattoo & piercing. There are 4 people running this business: Jennifer (piercer), Jonathan (piercer), Jim (tattoo artist) and Ian (tattoo artist). This shop is located in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. My friends and I visiting this place a few days ago and these people were welcoming us with their smile and jokes and provide us with so much tattoo info and pictures (thanks guys!!).

This one of the picture taken inside their tattoo workshop. As you can see, the pictures displayed were taken during Jim’s (the tattoo artist) visit at Beijing on a Tattoo convention. Okey, for your info this Black Ink Industry was opened about a year ago. Here, you can bring your own tattoo design and you can also choose from the sample provided in this shop and the tattoo albums. They also make customized tattoo design if requested by customer. They are friendly people, and you can also give them comment and make discussion on the tattoo design that you are going to make.

About the Tattoo pricing, it depends on the size, colour and details. Although the design is small and using 1 coloiur but if the design is complex and very detail, so the price is higher than the multi-colour ones. But don’t worry, mostly the pricing is negotiable and reasonable.

Okey, if you are visiting Kota Kinabalu, Sabah and planning to make tattoo don’t forget to come to BLACK INK INDUSTRY.
