Tattoo is rather the poetry painted on skin where choice made is harder to rid then a reluctant wife. Let’s say I did not find Ael but instead his tattoo found me… it was on a stranger in the street, the distinctive work stood right out and I knew I need to present this artist myself as his canvas. A true visionary, Ael has made great images better for he truly understand he shades on surface that is not flat… he soak up my anatomy and transformed even my flaws into his oil and dye, brushing out not once, but twice the magnum opus on my precious coat.
I am honoured to pen the virgin testimonial here and even more honoured to have Ael pen his verse on me.
Thank you.

Ael and tattoo for me go hand in hand. I know him since his days as an apprentice and since then I have admired his extraordinary dedication and talent in the art of tattoo. From the beginning he demonstrated the ability to turn tattooing into a high art. He understands the nature of the motive as well as the canvas of human skin, blending them both into something uniquely beautiful. He has both assisted me in hiding a hideous scar as well as beautifying my skin with a tattoo that has as much meaning to me as it has beauty.
His ability in creating realistic imagery though subtle shading has to be his most outstanding talent. And as tattoos are for life I am so very happy to know that I can completely trust the skills and judgement of Ael whenever I want to adorn my skin.

If your works are to be given a grade, it will be a D….D for distinction.
You have an uncanny ability to turn the human skin into an avant garde piece of art. I just like to say thank you for making my loved one a permanent part of me and i give it a grade F… F for fabulous. *Big hug*

I have visited Ael’s tattoo studio for 2 different tattoos. He was so good the first time round, I simply had to go back for a second, and I foresee a third in the (very) near future. What makes Ael such a good tattoo artist is that not only is he passionate about what he does, he has an artistic vision that I find refreshing, unrivaled and simply breathtaking.
For my first tattoo by Ael, I had told him what I wanted. Instead of just giving me what I wanted, he proposed creative ideas on how that tattoo could be portrayed. How it could look its best, and how it could be optimized to fit my body. I was impressed. I mean tattoo artists are after all creative individuals who knows tattoos more than the layman like myself. He did the same for my second tattoo, and was very patient with my questions. On top of his brilliant tattooing skills, he also holds the best lotions that helped my tattoos heal within a matter of days.
I have since recommended friends to get inked by him. He has an amazing eye on how to cover up pre-existing tatts, and an incredible talent for shading and portraits. Simply put, Ael is my tattoo artist because he has new and better ideas on what to do, how to do it, and they have always turned out brilliant.
Thank you Ael.

i still can recall that very day, that tuesday morning in febuary 2009. having that feeling at the bottom of my stomach when i first came across ael’s work on my fellow colleague at the fire station. shocked with amazement and awed with the originality of his work. it felt like my brain had to register what my eyes saw, totally unbelievable. i knew from then on i had to meet him, in person.
when i finally did make an appointment with him, i made my way down to tiong baru plaza, just to share my thoughts and views about the ideas in my head. you know, i couldnt have expected anything else, i was just overwhelmed with his pieces of golden art work he had kept in his drawer for the longest time and my god, it felt like right, it needed to be on me.
it’s been slightly more than a year now and every tattoo i had or have done is only done with ael. his work is flawlessly no doubt and there’s no one can say otherwise.
every session i have had with ael, alongside with those conversation about anything, with music playing in the background and food that we ate after with ciggis we used to have, have only made me able to express my ideas more and in turn, he has always thought how it’ll look best with great honesty, for the love of the art of tattooing.
a simple thank you is never enough. you always have my utmost respect and understanding. till the next session
I’d spend my last dollar on a tattoo by Ael. Not only is he exceptional in every way an artist can be, he’s a great guy and doesn’t get distracted by chatting while he works. I’ve recommended Ael to every one of my friends, but unfortunately I’m the only one with the balls in my shorts to actually endure the pain. Never mind, I’ll keep trying. Anyway, Thanks Ael for the art, the professionalism and the soy bean milk.
Cheers,
Mike.

Call now & you’ll also receive a warm, friendly chat with him while he works on you, absolutely free!
But seriously, I love his work on others & on me as well.

“I view myself as an artist which uses skin as my canvas” – Ael Lim. Fantastic work, brilliant conversationalist, philosopher and mad mad artistic skills. Getting a tattoo from Aelvin is a combination of all the above and then some. Might even pick up a few pointers about life. I definately know who to find to get my third piece done!
