Chiang Mai is home to some of the best tattoo artists in Thailand. Whether you’re in search of a custom-designed piece, vegan ink, machine or bamboo – you’ll find it here.

1. The Cutler Barber and Tattoo Parlor

Shop

The Cutler Barber and Tattoo Parlor is a trendy old-school style barber shop with a tattoo studio upstairs where their professional set-up specialises in classic tattoo techniques and designs. A one-stop shop for men who take pride in their appearance.

2. Panumart Tattoo

Shop

Panumart Tattoo studio is a beautiful marriage of Thai and Western tattoo influences and, along with the cleanliness standards you’d expect, it has a very welcoming atmosphere. Ahm, the resident artist, is a specialist in realistic tattoo styles but she can also easily do other designs.

3. Chiang Mai Skinart Tattoo Studio

Shop

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. He encourages customers to opt for a customised tattoo rather than picking generic designs from the Internet. 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.

4. Celebrity Ink Tattoo Chiang Mai

Shop

Celebrity Ink is likely the most commercial tattoo studio and with branches throughout the country. This professional outfit has all the latest equipment and can call on specialists for any style of tattoo you might require. Here, they have native English speakers available to make sure you are getting exactly what you want and their inks are all imported from USA.

5. Sam Tattoo and Body Piercing

Shop

Sam Tattoo & Body Piercing specialises in machine and bamboo tattoos, body piercing, body art and custom designs. Here they also do traditional-style tattoos or “magic” tattoos, which include a blessing by a local monk. The artists here will also work with you on bespoke tattoo designs.

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.
