Since modern tattooing started in New York in 1846, and the introduction of the first electronic gun 50 years later, western style tattooing could be seen on sailors and servicemen around the world. It took a further hundred years for tattoos to become a fashion statement. Recent figures from the States suggest that around 35% of people between the ages of 18 and 25, and a quarter of the population in America have at least one tattoo.
At Shanghai Tattoo Ting loves to do western style tattoos. The freedom of subject matter and technique gives Ting a licence to go crazy. Check out some of the bear, lion, wolf, pandas, lizard, insect, bird, fairy, angel, monster, zombie, family crest, bull, portrait, flower and cartoon tattoos that Ting has gotten her teeth into below.
