The August issue of That's Beijing is out now – paper-and-ink-form citywide, digital pdf form right here or in your browser here.
Editor-in-Chief Stephen George introduces the issue:
Maybe it’s the company we keep, or maybe it's the bars we frequent, but just about everyone we seem to meet this summer has a tattoo. From full sleeves, to indiscreet ankle patterns, tattoos appear to have slowly moved into the mainstream – but why?
In this special photo-led issue, we venture deep into Beijing’s tattoo scene. From the 200-kuai-an-hour back street joints, to state-of-the-art-studios, we meet with some of the city’s most creative and interesting tattoo artists – and find out their views on tattooing in China.
In honor of this issue, we handed the cover over to leading Beijing tattooist, 31-year-old Chacha, whose work you can see more of on page 38.
