Bangkok tattoo studios where trust in creativity is more than skin deep

Style: All styles, custom work, cover-ups

You’ll find them at Rain Hill on Sukhumvit 47 where they’ve got the largest tattoo facility in Asia. Over 2,500 five-star Google reviews later and ALL DAY Tattoo has become the place people go to when peace of mind matters as much as the art itself – whether it’s your 50th piece or your first.

The facility’s massive and the reviews speak for themselves but it’s the tedious bits that they don’t cut corners on: full Ministry of Health licensing, FDA-approved inks and hospital-grade sterilisation. Details that don’t sound exciting until you’re the one in the chair halfway through a session and suddenly very aware someone took them seriously. ALL DAY Tattoo went the distance.

There are over 20 artists here covering the full range: fine-line work, full sleeves, complex cover-ups. The team’s welcoming to all and – for English speakers coming through those glass doors into their red-lit space – it’s worth knowing that the entire customer-facing crew is fluent so nothing gets muddled or lost somewhere between languages. No awkward miming involved.

And the process itself stays straightforward. You sit down, talk through what you want, get clear pricing upfront and that’s genuinely it. No pressure, no surprise costs, no upselling, no runaround.

Style: Minimalistic, Fine Line, Typography

This tattoo studio in Chatuchak has rapidly become a standout destination for ink enthusiasts, particularly those drawn to minimalist aesthetics. The studio is in the spotlight for its specialty: delicate, precision-crafted linework and ultra-fine typography tattoos. Renowned for its signature minimal and tiny liner font style, it has carved out a unique niche in Bangkok's competitive tattoo scene, attracting both local and international clients who appreciate understated, elegant body art.

Yark Tattoo Studio is your go-to if intricate, whisper-thin lines that transform the body into a canvas of subtle elegance are what you’re after – minimalist masterpieces that quietly demand attention.

Style: Realistic, Fine Line, Sak Yant, Polynesian, Minimalistic

Finding a tattoo studio in Bangkok that does both modern sleeves and traditional sak yant isn't easy. Most places pick a lane and stick to it. PUREink. on Charoen Krung Road in Bang Rak is one of the few spots that genuinely covers the full spectrum.

Owned by a Bangkokian and Māori partnership, both come from mixed cultural backgrounds that fostered a deep appreciation for body art. The studio has built a reputation for being clean and having artists who actually listen rather than just nodding along before doing their own thing anyway. The work coming out of here features sharp, clean lines and solid detail work, which matters when you're committing to something permanent. They also specialise in fine line and minimalistic tattoos that require serious skill – delicate work where there's no room for shaky hands or sloppy execution.

What makes PUREink. unusual for Bangkok is the traditional offerings. Sak yant, the sacred Thai tattoos, and Polynesian designs aren't common alongside contemporary styles in city studios. Usually you'd need to trek out to different specialists for each.

The crew here are patient with first timers too. Getting your first tattoo is nerve-wracking enough without feeling rushed or judged, and they'll walk you through aftercare. All the prep info and guidance is available at pureinkbkk.com if you want to read up before committing. Not every tattoo parlour gets that balance right.

Style: Realistic, Micro-Realistic, Illustrative, Fine Line

Getting to Wine Tattoo Studio is a breeze – just ride the Skytrain to Udom Suk and you'll find yourself in a cozy space ready to welcome you for your ink session. This studio is home to a skilled all-female team of tattoo artists, making it an ideal choice for women who may prefer a more comfortable environment, especially for placements that could feel revealing with male tattooists. However, everyone is welcome here. Each artist masters a range of sophisticated styles, from realistic tattooing, where every detail is captured with photographic-like accuracy, to micro-realistic art with a strong emphasis on precision, particularly in fine line tattoos. They also excel in illustrative styles.

Wine Tattoo Studio is a destination where precision enhances creativity, offering tattoos that are uniquely refined.

Style: Realistic, Fine Line, Pixel Art, Cartoon

What sets Madgrey apart is their versatile approach to size and scale – whether it's an intimate, small-scale design or a larger, more elaborate piece. They specialise in both colour and black-and-grey tattoos, blending traditional skills with contemporary styles. Conveniently located near Ari BTS station (Exit 3), Madgrey excels in fine line artistry, realistic portraits and pixel art tattoos. Their portfolio combines delicate linework, lifelike designs and retro-inspired pixel creations – a trend that, we might say, celebrates nostalgia in modern tattoo designs.

Whether you’re after a minimalist small piece or an intricate large-scale design, their skilled team delivers exceptional craftsmanship in a clean, stylish space that prioritises hygiene and professionalism.
