Jayers Ko - Tattoo Artist

Jayers is a true artist who embarked on her tattooing journey in 2008 and is the founder of Lovinkit Tattoo. With a wide range of experience in various tattoo genres, Jayers possesses a soulful and open-minded approach, believing in the interconnectedness of all beings through a single breath. Over the past few years, she has dedicated significant time to exploring and redefining her tattoo style and philosophy.

Jayers finds great affinity in creating expressionism tattoos that often incorporate her unique interpretation of traditional tattoo motifs. Her work draws inspiration from the wonders of nature, with a particular focus on the beauty of plants and water bodies. She emphasises the flow and contrast of the tattoo on the wearer, ensuring that it is dynamic and not static. Both her black and colour work are stunning.

In 2015, during a time when tattoos were still considered taboo in Hong Kong, Jayers authored a book titled <<墨子----紋身的故事>> (Mozi: Stories of Tattoos). Published by Joint Publishing, the book chronicles numerous tattoo stories around Hong Kong. It quickly sold out within three months, but hard copies and e-copies are still available for reading in public libraries in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In 2022, Jayers started a new project, a documentary series on YouTube titled 《移紋》"Tattoo Migration." This series sheds light on the rising migration of Hong Kongers due to political changes and explores the stories behind their "last" tattoos from their motherland. The documentary is broadcasted in Cantonese, with English subtitles provided. Additionally, she is the founder of Asia Bloodborne Pathogens Training Certificate (ABBP), the first online hygiene training course for the tattoo industry in Asia.

As a world traveler and award-winning artist, she continues to push the boundaries of tattooing. In 2023, she started a passion project called Tattoo Flight Club, which aims to bring traveling and tattooing together, to provide opportunities for young artists to connect with the world, and for like-minded people to meet and create art together.

Jayers began her tattooing journey as an apprentice under the guidance of Kenny Chin at Solo Tattoo in 2008. With a family background in medicine and a bachelor's degree in Psychology from CUHK, Jayers combines her diverse knowledge and experiences, leaving an indelible mark on the industry and the lives of those she tattoos.

Her path to mastery followed a traditional approach, allowing her to learn invaluable techniques from various artists as she traveled between Mexico and Asia.

For Selene, tattooing is more than just a visual art form; it is a non-verbal message that speaks to one's identity. She believes that a tattoo should seamlessly blend with a person's being, representing their true self. Selene sees the relationship between a tattoo artist and client as a collaborative team, working together to create something truly special and unique.

Topher - Body Piercer

Topher is currently away and plans to come back whenever the covid travel restriction eases in Hong Kong.

Topher is a bloodborne-pathogen certified professional piercer.  He started getting into body modifications in 2009. It began when he started watching documentaries on Steve Haworth, who invented and pioneered the way to sub-dermal and transdermal implants. Shortly after, Topher came across a shop who offered him an apprenticeship. From then on he began piercing and worked on perfecting his craft. He does everything from basic lobe piercing to micro-dermal implant.

"Working as a professional piercer in the last 6 years, I spent a lot of time trying to find inspiration from other piercers local and worldwide and making connections with tattoo artists such as Jayers Ko, which is what inspired me to join Lovinkit" he says.

Topher continues," Lovinkit complies with the strictest hygiene standards. The shop has a medical grade autoclave of which I can use to sterilise all my tools and jewellery before I pierce my clients. Many may not realise but hygiene is extremely important for piercings too, alcohol wipe or bath are definitely not enough."
 

All needles are single-use. We also carry a saline wash spray as aftercare for piercing. Happy piercing and healing!
