ABOUT US
We’re a tattoo studio in Paphos focused on custom work, honest guidance, and tattoos that are made to last. Every piece starts with a conversation and is shaped around your idea, your body, and what actually matters to you.
OUR STUDIO
Our studio is designed to feel calm, comfortable, and focused. We want people to feel welcome from the moment they walk in, whether it is their first tattoo or a large custom project.
The atmosphere is relaxed, but our tattoo work is taken seriously. We keep communication simple and direct, making it easy to discuss ideas, plan ahead, and understand the process before anything starts.
OUR VALUES
We believe tattoos are personal decisions, not impulse choices. That is why we take the time to understand the idea, the placement, and the person before anything is designed.
We do not rush the process and we do not push people into decisions they are not ready for. We would rather do fewer tattoos properly than compromise on the design, the placement, or the long term result.
We also take compliance, safety, and the law seriously. Gorilla Tattoo Paphos was the first licensed tattoo and piercing studio in Cyprus under the new national law N.20(I)/2021.
BOOKINGS
We mainly work by appointment to make sure each tattoo gets the time and focus it deserves. Walk-ins may be possible depending on availability, but booking ahead is always recommended, including for last-minute requests. If you are planning a larger piece or visiting from abroad, getting in touch early allows us to discuss ideas, plan properly, and make the process smooth from start to finish.
A WORD FROM THE OWNER
“I have spent many years working across different countries and tattoo scenes, and I have given a lot of my life to this craft. Tattooing has cost me comfort, relationships, friendships, and a normal routine, but it also gave me purpose. I know what it means to build something from the bottom and keep going when things are difficult.
Over the years, I started seeing tattooing become faster, colder, and more impersonal. When I opened this studio, my aim was to create a place where people feel respected, listened to, and treated properly.
What we put on someone’s skin stays with them. That deserves time, care, and proper attention. If someone walks through our doors and does not feel welcome or cared for, then we have missed the point. That is the standard I hold myself to and expect from everyone working here”
