When we (Nimet and Jonathan) were in Phuket, Thailand, in January 2020 we were fortunate to meet with the insanely talented Jimmy Paykaw, owner of Master’s Ink Tattoo studio. Nimet asked him a few questions about bamboo tattooing, just before we each got one.

Didn’t work out as well as hoped due to the language barrier – both speaking in a language that was not their own – and was just shot on a mobile phone without any proper audio equipment.

Either way, Jimmy is an incredibly good tattoo artist and all round nice guy, so follow him on Instagram and make an appointment to see him if you ever go to Phuket. @masters_ink_tattoo_phuket
