You\u2019ll first pick a design from their collection and transfer it onto a piece of faux skin to work on. After filling in the outline with dark ink using a tattoo gun pen, you\u2019ll then add in colours of your choice. Visual guides will also be available for a little creative nudge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The studio fits up to eight people, which means you\u2019re in for an intimate three-hour session complete with guided explanations and live demonstrations. It\u2019s hands-on, slightly rebellious and wildly satisfying \u2013 minus the lifelong commitment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_wioo3_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"State of Shiok bear painting Singapore\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"781\" height=\"655\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/fzine\/017a5822994ead0867aa58e3f43ca218a5a2dc37cb41a9446ab702729c57ba81?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/fzine\/017a5822994ead0867aa58e3f43ca218a5a2dc37cb41a9446ab702729c57ba81?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/fzine\/017a5822994ead0867aa58e3f43ca218a5a2dc37cb41a9446ab702729c57ba81?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/fzine\/017a5822994ead0867aa58e3f43ca218a5a2dc37cb41a9446ab702729c57ba81 781w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/fzine\/017a5822994ead0867aa58e3f43ca218a5a2dc37cb41a9446ab702729c57ba81?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.1923664122137405;contain-intrinsic-size:781px 655px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_wioo3_158\">\n<p>State of Shiok<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Afraid of needles?
