Ivan's airbrush tattoo

My son asked me where is 牛车水(Chinatown)?
He heard it from TV.
Since Chinese New Year (CNY) is coming, I think it's time to bring them to Chinatown to have a feel of the Chinese New Year atmosphere.
I have brought him there few years back.
Probably he was too young then, he has no impression of it at all.

As usual, this CNY market is crowded, despite the recession we are facing currently.
My friend, Ivan has rented a booth in Temple Street.
Thus, we decided to pay him a visit.
The kids have met him a couple of times. So, they are pretty familiar with this Uncle Ivan.
They are especially excited when I tell them that he can do airbrush tattoo.
(They saw someone doing airbrush in Downtown east last week, and they are rather crazy with tattoos)

After some squeeze among the crowds, and we finally managed to locate Ivan and his wife's (Lee) booth.
Ivan immedately put them on his chairs and asked them to choose the design they like.
Pai seh...... meant to pay them a visit, and now he's giving the kids free airbrush tattoo.

My son Jiale chose this scorpion design.

My daughter Jiaxi, as usual, chose her fabourite cartoon - Hello Kitty.

He got another design - spider.
Seems like one tattoo is not enough for him.

Thank goodness. They started to attract crowd for Ivan.

If you do notice, Ivan's airbrush tattoo is not monotone of black.
He has a mixture of colours - pink and black in this case.
