SHENTONISTA

“I enjoy the drawing process when I’m designing tattoos. Tattooing it onto someone is also a very special thing for me—realising that my artwork is now a part of someone forever.”

“Right now, I’m just trying to navigate my way around, to experience new things and try out different styles. It’s a really nice feeling when your work gets a good reception, or if it changes people’s perceptions or gets them interested in new things!”

“It’s quite easy to travel overseas from Singapore. I’ve been visiting smaller cities in China lately, and because they’re away from the cities, it’s quite a different experience!”

“I don’t let my work define who I am as much anymore; I feel I’ve gotten past that now and I’m taking a more relaxed approach to life to figure out what I want to do for myself.”

“I’ve always wanted to be a scientist, but looking at what I could do realistically, I decided to go into studying fashion. I feel that Singapore needs more creatives, as there aren’t that many of us.”

“I’m really into ‘60s and ‘70s music. That raw, authentic sound is what it’s all about for me.”

“My favourite style is from the 70s, and I like all kinds of 70s music too. 70s, all the way!”

“I first got close to my partner by playing basketball and gymming together. But now, we’ve reached a point where we’re comfortable enough being physically together but doing different things.”

“I thrift a lot. I also like to go to pop-ups and events like the Hammock Market, and I scroll through Carousell on a daily basis, because that’s how you’ll find the gems first!”

"The cool part of what we do, apart from the music and dancing, is that we get to showcase the amazing work of so many creatives."

“In my free time, I like to play badminton and swim. I also go hiking, particularly at MacRitchie Reservoir and Mount Faber, but I don’t hike very often, maybe only two to three times a month.”

“Between my main job, my own business, and my hobbies, I don’t have a lot of free time, so I try to be hyper-efficient in everything that I do. I try to make sure I’m functioning at 100% potential.”
