Such lovely people, real artists! Professional shop, and a nice looking one too. Fábio is so soft-handed, I almost fell asleep during tattooing! What comes in handy is that it is a walk-in shop, no appointment and no waiting list. One word: amazing!

Cecilia was incredible and calming. My friend had her nipple pierced and I went back because she was so great. Very clean and great place for piercing. Thank you so much.

Incredibly clean, very friendly people and very good prices - some of the best line work tattoos I've seen. So much so that we came back and got another one.
Steve SnelgroveGoogle review
Popped in to get a price. Very nice people from the start and very efficient - altered my tattoo as many times as I wanted until I was happy. Turned out beautiful, no rushing, and the attention to detail was spot on. The place is spotless.

My mother got her first ever tattoo at this studio. She's 65! A butterfly in memory of her mum. The whole studio was lovely and clean, and he was extremely professional, welcoming and knowledgeable.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes - walk-ins are welcome every day, subject to availability. For larger or more complex pieces, booking in advance is recommended so we can prepare your design. For piercings and smaller tattoos, just come in.

Custom tattoos, flash tattoos, cover-ups, touch-ups, and professional piercings. We handle everything in-house with a dedicated team for each discipline.

We work at a steady pace and check in with you throughout. Smaller pieces usually finish in one visit. For larger work we'll map out sessions in advance and give you an accurate time estimate. Breaks whenever you need them.

Sleep well the night before, eat a solid meal about two hours ahead, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours. Bring ID, wear clothing that gives easy access to the tattoo area, and charge your phone for longer sits.

The surface usually settles in 2–3 weeks; the skin fully heals over roughly 3 months. We walk you through aftercare before you leave and provide written instructions to take home. Message us if anything looks off during healing.

Yes. Send a photo of the existing tattoo and your idea when you book. We assess cover-ups case by case and will be upfront about what's realistic in terms of design, sizing, and sessions.

We require a 30% deposit to confirm your booking for custom work. Deposits are non-refundable but transferable to a new date with at least 48 hours' notice.

We speak Portuguese, English, and Brazilian Portuguese fluently. You'll feel right at home whatever language you prefer.
