It’s not every day you get inked between bites of grilled skewers and sips — but in Hong Kong, subculture knows no boundaries. On October26, 2025 one of the city’s most stylish culinary-art crossovers returns: the Golden Gip x CENSU Crew Flash Tattoo Pop-Up, now in its third edition.
Hosted at Golden Gip, a modern Korean-inspired dai pai dong on Wellington Street, this one-day-only event fuses gourmet bites, body art, and subcultural energy into a multi-sensory experience.
This year’s lineup features six renowned tattoo artists from Hong Kong and Japan, including Yeeki Lo, Shigeo Kimura, New School Art, Who’s nosey, Gentaro, and Megumu.
Each artist will offer pre-designed flash tattoos, available on a first-come, first-served basis, so guests can walk away with fresh ink and a story to tell. Expect styles ranging from delicate linework to bold neo-traditional pieces.
Meanwhile, Golden Gip's kitchen, helmed by Head Chef Nigel Kim, will serve up a culinary journey with canapés and a complimentary drink for guests to complement the edgy, art-forward atmosphere. The venue’s interior, designed by Studio C8, blends wabi-sabi minimalism with nostalgic neon, turning the space into a visual feast.
Tickets are priced at HK$300 per person, which includes a drink, food, and a special gift for all attendees. The event runs from 12PM to 9PM. While walk-ins may be accepted, advance booking is highly recommended.
This is your chance to experience one of Hong Kong’s most expressive pop-ups, where ink meets local food culture, and every detail is designed to leave a mark.

A Quick Note on Ink Etiquette:
Consuming alcohol before can thin your blood, increase sensitivity, and even affect healing. If you’re planning to get tattooed at the pop-up, it’s strongly recommended to hold off on alcohol before and after your session.
