The word “carved” stone into flesh…
After many contacts to book an appointment, we went to a tattoo shop called "Art Tattoo" on Vu Huy Can Street, Ward 22, Binh Thanh District to meet a famous tattooist in Saigon about stone tattooing.

The tattooed skin must first be cleaned, followed by a surgical knife to make an incision in the skin to put the metal piece deep under the skin and then the stones with the base to fasten the metal piece. under that skin.
