Pitbull Tattoo stands out not just because of its location on lively Bangla Road, but the sheer professionalism its artists put into the tattoo process. 

The studio is managed by a Western team and staffed with highly skilled Thai artists who are well-versed in both vibrant colour and intricate black and grey realism. 

Plus, bookings can be done online or in advance via WhatsApp or email. They even offer Photoshop previews of your design before you commit. 

Their studio is spotless, and safety protocols are a priority, which is a relief when you’re getting permanent work abroad. They also offer numbing cream upon request, which many past clients appreciated for long sessions. 

We also liked that they have special “Warrior Sessions” for large pieces where multiple artists work together to speed things up. One thing to consider is that the prices here are on the higher end compared to smaller local shops, especially for large custom designs or multiple-artist sessions. 

Amazing services

“Staff and artists are absolutely amazing, a very clean and welcome atmosphere. I had a full leg sleeve done over 2 days by 2 amazing artists, nothing was a drama and everything I asked for was executed perfectly. I couldn’t be happier with my final results.”

Extremely professional

“Pitbull Phuket is an amazing tattoo studio with quality tattoo artists, I was with Tony and Korn who were magicians with the tattoo gun. They made my unique Japanese art style come to life and I can’t be anymore appreciated of them and the crew at Pitbull Phuket. If you want quality art from extremely professional tattoo artists, look no more then Pitbull Phuket.”

When we walked into Celebrity Ink in Patong, it felt worlds away from the chaos outside. The interior was sleek, clean, and air-conditioned—definitely built with tourists in mind.

We were greeted by staff who walked us through the booking process which can be done either on the spot via their online system or Facebook. Either way, they’re quick to respond!

We also liked that they offered a designed consultation before any needled work began, giving you the chance to finalise every detail.

We were able to observe multiple tattoo sessions in progress, with artists working across styles—everything from clean script tattoos to bold, colourful mandalas. There’s a strong focus here on storytelling and personalisation.

We’re just a bit iffy to have found feedback that some customers have experienced a bit of attitude from certain artists in the past. On the bright side, the management seems to have stepped in because they’re now more polite and better with their services.

Clean studio

“Great work by Dragon, very gentle and great attention to detail and to my level of pain/tolerance as well as my design requests. I’m thrilled with the work he did 😍.

My boyfriend also had an epic full back piece done by Doi and Boss who were superb with paying attention to design requests (especially adapting the design to avoid a mole while making sure it still looked good!) and pain levels.

Studio is also always clean and staff is super friendly and patient! We showed up every day being welcomed and treated like we were home. I worked from the studio the whole time my bf was getting tattooed and felt very welcome to do so.”

Highly recommended

“An excellent experience for my first tattoo, my artist Dragon has an amazing eye for detail and was very thorough. Would highly recommend him and coming to celebrity ink at Patong. Thankyou to all the team here.”

Kayo Tattoo Studio is a solid, trustworthy place for anyone considering a tattoo. They were recommended to us by some colleagues who also mentioned that this studio is popular for cover-ups, scripts, and fine-line pieces—the artists here a very precise! 

Upon checking out the studio, what we found was a vibrant, well-managed space with a calm energy. The studio was clean and organised, and the staff was warm but professional.

However, we noticed an inconsistency that could catch some people off guard. While their website mentions that they accept clients aged 18 and up, walk-in policies at the studio say you must be 21. 

That discrepancy might frustrate younger adults hoping to get inked during their trip, especially if they come in unaware.

Finally, Kayo offers a mix of walk-ins and bookings via their site or socials, and communication through their channels is prompt and clear. 

Impeccable services

“Got 2 tattoos at Kayo by Boy M and the attention to detail was amazing. He also gave me great suggestions about what colours to use and my tattoo came out better than I expected. The studio is also very clean. Highly recommended…will definitely go back again.”

Talented artists

“I had the best experience with kayo tattoo, I booked in to get my first tatt, a full sleeve. from the beginning their communication and service was outstanding, they made me feel comfortable and welcome in the shop, and the finished product is amazing. Their artists are highly talented and have made my vision a reality. I cant wait to go back for my next tatt at kayo.”

When we reached out to Mayhem Ink to inquire about their services, the first thing that stood out was how responsive and accommodating the team was.

The consultation process was friendly and thorough—everything from pricing to style preferences was addressed clearly over WhatsApp, and they didn’t pressure us to commit on the spot.

We like that they offer both machine and traditional bamboo tattooing—this flexibility immediately made them feel like a good match for different types of tattoo seekers. Plus, their place was impeccably clean and their team spoke fluent English.

We also liked how they assign artists based on style—so if you’re into dotwork, realism, or colour pieces, you’ll be paired with someone who knows that lane.

The only downside we noted was that prices can vary quite a bit depending on the artist, and there’s no posted baseline pricing online.

Very accommodating

“I recently had 3 tattoos done at Mahem Ink. Couldn’t ask for a cleaner more serial place. Staff were very accommodating, friendly and polite.  Thanks to Tong my tattoo artist for a magnificent job. Great tattooist that i would highly recommend.  Thanks again.”

Michelle Wilson, Google Review

Good work

“Great experience. Had Jay and was super good at the tattoo and the team was all great to deal with. Definitely recommend and did quick but good work.”

Among the studios we looked into across Phuket, ink.inc stood out not just for their artistry, but also for their thoughtful approach to the whole tattoo experience. 

In our surveys, many clients mentioned how they felt safe, respected, and involved in the entire process—they get a solid A in terms of customer satisfaction!

When we dropped by the studio, we immediately appreciated how it’s clean and stylish. The staff, from reception to artists, were also friendly yet professional when they accommodated us.

It’s worth mentioning that, while they handle both walk-ins and bookings, reservations via email or social media are encouraged. 

The only drawback we found is that custom requests might take a bit longer to complete. This isn’t a negative if you’re not in a rush, but travellers on tight schedules may need to plan and adjust their itineraries.

Incredible attention to details

“If you are looking for a tattoo in Patong, Ink.inc is the place to go! The lady at the front desk is super friendly. The work is incredible and with the cordless tattoo gun, it is so light you barely feel it. My piece was a fine line tattoo, with great detail and it was completed very quickly. Definitely recommend this place!”

Alice Jackson, Google Review
