The Mind Gardener
Jagua Tattoo Artist
Started in 2018, The Mind Gardener creates temporary tattoos using Jagua – an organic fruit-based ink from South America, which leaves a gorgeous blue tattoo colour on skin. Customers can get their dream tattoo for two weeks without any pain and at a fraction of the price of a real tattoo. Their designs mainly revolve around nature, such as flowers, ocean or animals. The Mind Gardener has done tattoos for more than 300 clients since it began and have been inking at large-scale events such as Artbox, Singapore Night Festival, IGNITE! Music Festival and many more since 2018.
Hi! I am Jaclyn, the founder of The Mind Gardener.
I started out in Out&Ink in 2018 where I inked at many large scale events. After a while, I decided to start my own business as I wanted to help others in the area of mental health. Personally, I used to experience lots of anxiety so I know how mental health can affect one’s wellbeing. Many people around me have also shared with me their experiences with mental health. This made me realise how powerful words can be. When we encourage someone, it means a lot to them. Sometimes, asking them “how are you” and empathising with them can bring them hope. That’s why I named my business The Mind Gardener. There’s a quote that says “Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers. Or you can grow weeds”. I want my brand and the tattoos I ink to embody my mission to encourage others to do their best and be kind to themselves.
