Xing Haisong’s studio, John Long Tattoo, lies in a small alley strewn with plants and laundry lines, around the corner from his storefront on Maoming Nan Lu. A pair of double doors reveals a brightly lit room, complete with worn leather couches, blackened ashtrays and magazines. This is Xing Haisong’s Chinese tattooing workshop where Asia’s tattooing cultures meet, and, customer by customer, this needle master helps bring tattooing into the Chinese mainstream.
An established studio
The lived-in atmosphere of his studio is appropriate. Xing Haisong is a Shanghai tattoo institution.
