Paragraph Synopsis
There are many stereotypes linked to tattoos and people who have them, and most of them are negative. Some people would think that only bikies and those affiliated with crime get tattoos, however, times change. A young female tattoo artist, Chrystal Eng will be sharing her idea on the stereotype of tattooing, and her experiences on the work in the past. Due to the Coronavirus, her work was affected by the pandemic. Therefore, she will also be telling us the difference of the work before and after the pandemic, for example, how she serves the clients under the restrictions. Besides, she knows that pandemic has affected the daily life of all of us, and it has had a negative psychological impact on many people, especially Generation Z and millennials. The 5-minute documentary Back to the Tattoo Studio will be exploring her work life and aim to inspire people to embody their self-worth and finding fulfilment.
