Hong Kong’s distinct tattoo style, a fusion of East and West

“A coming together of East and West” is how Hong Kong tattoo artist Marcus Yuen describes the city’s unique tattooing style. Heavily influenced by tattoo culture brought over by Western sailors stationed in the city in the 1960s, tattoo artists like Yuen are working to keep the city’s unique blend of tattoo culture alive, one tattoo at a time.
