Argentines like their ink, and nowhere is this more evident than in the capital of Buenos Aires. Tattoo parlors abound, but how do you choose which one is right for you? Getting a tattoo is like getting a haircut: you need to go to someone who’s gonna understand you and your style, and get it right first time, because, unlike a haircut, a tattoo is forever. Let’s check out the best tattoo studios in Buenos Aires.

Iris Tattoo

This incredibly popular tattoo studio is perfect for first timers and for anyone who values a personalized service. Iris is located in a beautiful building on the busy Santa Fe Avenue in Palermo, and its interiors are colorful, and welcoming.

They also have a branch in Miami.

Hunch

Hunch leads the way with heavily stylized work reminiscent of illustrations with loose, fluid lines and splashes of color. The artists at Hunch often create figurative work, with a particular emphasis on animals, and many of the designs are realized in a watercolor fashion. The studio even gives seminars on this popular technique if you are interested in trying it out for yourself. Fans of graphic novels will be into the Hunch style.
