Choose your style and artist
Our artists work in different styles: traditional and old school, Japanese, fine line, lettering, blackwork, geometric and mandala. See all tattoo styles, or browse the traditional tattoo subjects with real work by our artists.
Two of our artists are guest artists who come back to Turin every month: Pye, from Cagliari, and Veronica Misticoni, from Pescara. If you want one of them, check their dates with us before you plan your trip.
Prices and what to expect
Tattoos start from €80; the final price depends on size, complexity, placement and time. Quotes and consultations are free, and we can tell you who is the right artist for your idea. We work with sterile, single-use materials and follow strict hygiene protocols.
Piercing and tooth gems
We also do professional piercing with sterile single-use needles (never a piercing gun) and implant-grade titanium or gold jewellery, and tooth gems with Betty Tooth Gems.
