ABOUT US

We’re a tattoo studio in Paphos focused on custom work, long-term quality, and trust. Every piece starts with a conversation and is shaped around what truly matters to you.

OUR STUDIO

Our studio is designed to feel calm, comfortable, and focused, with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere that helps people feel at ease. We believe the environment matters just as much as the work itself.

We combine this atmosphere with high quality work from established artists with international backgrounds. Communication is kept simple and direct, making it easy to discuss ideas and plan ahead, whether you are already in Cyprus or travelling specifically to get tattooed.

OUR VALUES

We believe tattoos are personal decisions, not impulse choices. That is why we take the time to understand the meaning behind each idea before anything is designed. We do not rush the process and we do not push people into decisions they are not ready for. Long-term trust matters more to us than quick results, and we would rather do fewer tattoos properly than compromise on quality. We also take compliance, safety, and the law seriously, which is why we are the first licensed tattoo and piercing studio in Cyprus.

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 have seen tattooing drift away from its core values, becoming fast and impersonal. When I opened this studio, my aim was to create a place where people feel respected, listened to, and treated properly.

If someone walks through our doors and does not feel welcome or cared for, then we have missed the point. What we put on someone’s skin stays with them, and that deserves time, respect, and honesty. That is the standard I hold myself to and expect from everyone working here.
