Frequently asked questions

Q: What should I expect during my first Thailand tattoo appointment at Cali-Ink?

A: At Cali-Ink, for your first tattoo appointment, expect a clean and professional environment. Your artist will first review your chosen design- from Sak Yant tattoo’s, traditional Thailand themed tattoos and more! Then they will prepare the area on your skin, apply a stencil, and then carefully begin the tattooing process, using sterile equipment.

You can rest assured that as the best tattoo artists in Thailand, we will take the time to ensure the details are precise!

Q: What measures does Cali-Ink take to ensure a safe and clean tattooing environment?

A: We know that if you’re searching for “Tattoo parlour near me” in Thailand, you value your health and safety. This is why we are proud to adhere to strict health and safety regulations across the nation . This includes using single-use, sterile needles and tubes for every client. You can also rest assured that all the surfaces in the studios are regularly cleaned and disinfected with the proper care by our professional staff.

Q: What makes us the best tattoo shop in Thailand?

A: With prime locations in both Bangkok and Phuket, Cali-Ink boasts award-winning artists specializing in a number of authentic Thai tattoos, including sacred Sak Yant, alongside modern styles. We also uphold the highest international hygiene standards, making us a top choice if you are looking for the best tattoo shop in Thailand!

Q: Do I need to book an appointment in advance, or do you accept walk-ins for tattoos?

A: As your go-to Thai tattoo parlour, we will do our best to accommodate walk-ins; especially when it comes to smaller designs. We highly recommend, however, booking an appointment in advance; especially if you have a specific artist in mind or a larger, more complex tattoo idea. This ensures you get dedicated time with your chosen Thai tattoo artist and helps us prepare for your design.

You can easily book online through our website or by calling us for the best Phuket tattoo or for ones in Bangkok!

Q: What specific aftercare instructions should I follow for my Thailand tattoo, especially if I’m a tourist in a tropical climate?

A: At California Ink, we stress that proper aftercare is crucial for a beautiful and healthy Thailand tattoo; especially given the beautiful tropical climate! Rest assured your artist will provide detailed instructions, but generally, it involves keeping the tattoo clean with a mild, fragrance-free soap, and moisturizing with a thin layer of recommended aftercare balm.

It is also very important to avoid direct sun exposure on a healing thai tattoo or wear loose, breathable clothing to cover it. You’ll also want to avoid swimming in pools, the ocean, or hot tubs; just until your tattoo is fully healed to prevent infection and fading.
