This guide covers 10 must-know tips before booking your session, from choosing the right design to aftercare in Bangkok’s tropical climate.

  • Choose a Timeless Design
  • Something meaningful that won’t go out of style. Avoid trends you might regret later.

  • Research Styles
  • Explore options like Japanese, realism, Fine line Tattoo ,Dot work Tattoo ,Minimalist Tattoo to find what suits you best.

  • Artist Selection
  • Check tattoo artists portfolios for clean lines and healed results—style matching matters most.

  • Consider Placement
  • Areas like ribs hurt more; arms/thighs are easier. Think about visibility for work too.

  • Hygiene is Key
  • Only book studios using sterile, single-use needles and medical-grade cleanliness.

  • Budget Wisely
  • Good tattoos aren’t cheap. Expect ฿1,500–฿15,000+ for quality work in Bangkok.

  • Prep Your Body
  • Hydrate, eat well, and skip alcohol before your session to minimize bleeding.

  • Manage Pain
  • Breathe deeply and stay relaxed. Pain varies by spot—outer arms are easiest.

  • Follow Aftercare
  • Wash gently, moisturize, and avoid sun/swimming for 2–3 weeks. Humidity demands extra care.

  • Trust Your Instincts
  • If a studio feels off, leave. Your safety and satisfaction come first.
