Skinart Tattoo Studio is located in a small shop just off the Old City moat. Chris, the owner and artist, is a brilliant choice for those who want a more unique and personalised tattoo experience.

Chris only uses vegan ink, specialises in mandala and dot work styles, and his work is not only done with extreme skill but it is also made with plenty of love. Chris also happens to be one of Chiang Mai’s top DJs and is known as one of Thailand’s top graphic designers.

6. Naga Crew Tattoo

Shop

If you are in search of a Thai-style tattoo then Naga Crew Tattoo is the perfect spot for you. Choose from machine or bamboo techniques, and you can even join forces with your friends as four artists can work on customers at the same time.
