Highly recommend California ink in phuket, the service from when I walked in from reception to communication about design, confirming booking msgs was A class. As for my artist Ace he was outstanding as I'm a pretty fussy guy but his patience with me on positioning of my tattoo was unbelievable, now when it came to his work the attention to detail to give me exactly what I wanted was unbelievable everytime I look at it I'm amazed at how perfect it is the lines the colour the detail amazing. Thank you Ace and California ink you made my Thailand holiday even better can't wait to come back. Once again BIG THANKS to Ace your a gun. Lots of love to the whole crew from here in Australia thank you again.

What to Expect at Our Phuket Tattoo Studio

From the moment you walk into our Patong tattoo studio, you’ll be welcomed by a professional manager who will guide you through the entire process. We begin by discussing your tattoo ideas, preferred style, placement, and size to fully understand your vision.

Our artists then create and refine your custom tattoo design, making sure it fits your body and placement correctly before applying the stencil for your approval.

Once you approve the design, size, placement, and stencil, your artist begins the tattoo with full attention to detail and precision. After your session, we provide clear aftercare guidance to help your tattoo heal properly and maintain its quality over time.

Walk-ins are always welcome, or you can contact our team online to discuss your tattoo and start planning your appointment in Phuket.
