Tattoo studio in Bangkok: 12 specialist artists, 57 international convention awards

BKK INK is the only Thai tattoo studio to win first prize at Mondial du Tatouage in Paris, widely considered the most prestigious tattoo convention on earth. That single achievement tells you everything about the level of artistry inside this studio.

Founded in 2009 on Khaosan Road, BKK INK is the tattoo studio Bangkok locals and travellers have trusted ever since. It was built on one thing: an obsessive passion for tattooing. While our location might suggest a typical tourist shop, our reputation was built through word of mouth, client after client sending friends, family, and followers our way.

That passion pushed us to compete at the highest level. Over the years, our artists have brought home 57 trophies from the world's top conventions: Mondial du Tatouage (France), Stockholm Inkbash (Sweden), Singapore Ink Show, Thailand Tattoo Expo, and dozens more across Europe and Asia.

What truly sets BKK INK apart is our clientele. Unlike most studios in Thailand that cater exclusively to tourists or exclusively to locals, we attract both. World champion Tawanchai and rapstar Youngohm sit in the same chairs as travelers from London, Sydney, and Tokyo. From the moment you walk in, our professional front desk team, fluent in Thai, English, and French, ensures every client feels welcome, whether you’re a local champion or a first-time visitor from abroad.

The studio itself is modern, spacious, and immaculately clean. BKK INK became, as far as we know, the first tattoo studio in Thailand to be granted an official licence to practise, in 2009, because proper hygiene standards aren’t optional, they’re essential. Combined with the hygiene and sanitation certifications required to tattoo at European conventions, our commitment to safety matches our commitment to art. The vibe is relaxed but professional. No pressure, no rush, just world-class ink.
