Tattoos of HK

I have never been that interested in tattoos, yet I find myself while in HK attracted to the tattoo culture.  The designs are specific to the mood of the city, have elements of anime, punk rock, playfulness, and imagination.  I enjoy that the city has a element of darkness to it along with influences of Japan.  The tattoos are representative of the many layers of depth and culture the city has to offer.

Jealous of my new pullover?

If you are looking for an extremely unique Hong Kong shopping experience, do pop by Blouseripped (15 St. Francis Street, Wan Chai).  The designer, born in HK, defines himself as an excellent tailor and artist.  Working with layers, draping, and deconstruction, you will find him on most days in the shop, cutting, sewing and contemplating.  Strings, lace, and tailored suits round out the collection.  Price points, well he should charge much more for his pieces, as they are works on love and one of a kind.
