!!BRING CASH PAYMENT THEY WILL NOT TAKE CARD!!…read more This place was an experience I can barely put into words. We messaged them through Yelp and got an appointment for the same day (I have a feeling they do a lot of spontaneous tourist appointments). The girl at the front desk was working on her own tattoo designs and ushered us into a comfortable and well-decorated waiting room. They have an €80 minimum and I got my first tattoo (approximately 3" across) for €100 (way cheaper than back in the States!) plus tip (which I know isn't as much of a thing here but seemed appropriate considering the circumstances) and a more experienced friend of mine got hers (5"?) with shading for €130. The shop was clean and hundreds of designs were displayed on the walls. If you aren't getting tattooed they ask that you stay in the front area but will allow one guest for the person getting a tattoo. But the artist- MATTEL- was just fantastic. He was professional but also acted as a friend- he spoke less English than the girl at the counter but was so helpful and reassuring and held excellent conversation. They were absolutely blasting some classic rock in the back which was appreciated and a good distraction to be honest. They sell the tattoo soap and cream in the store for a little extra and included some fun stickers. However, THEY ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENT IN CASH!!! Bring it ahead of time or the girl at the front will walk with you to the nearest ATM to watch you withdraw it. Overall an irreplaceable experience- I'm very pleased.

The shop is so warm and inviting, and all the artists are incredibly professional, kind, and clear. I got a navel piercing and my artist explained every step of the way what he was doing and why, which was super helpful and contributed to the easygoing and comfortable nature of my whole experience. My skin gets irritated very easily but by some miracle by the end of the same day I had virtually no swelling or redness! I had been worried about the pain but it was such a lovely, professional experience and I'm so grateful. Thank you so so much to Fabrizio and his team by far my most favorite find on my trip to Rome. AND I feel like a princess now! Grazie mille!

Before a trip to Rome that was going to fall on me and my wife's 18th anniversary, I had the idea…read moreof the two of us getting tattoos to mark the occasion. I'm pretty extensively covered in tattoos, and my wife has a few, so I kind of know what I wanted to get out of the experience. I don't want to deal with "too cool for you" shop vibes or shady shops that keep uncertain hours since we would be working with a limited time frame. After doing some searches, I stumbled upon Area Industriale and started a chat via Instagram DM with the owner, who was enthusiastic about our visit and reasoning for the pieces and their less than original design (we wanted the simple Roman numerals XVIII to recognize the 18 years) and had us booked and ready to go. The day of our appointment, we took a wonderful 30 minute walk out of the city center and through the local neighborhoods to the shop, which we found to be an awesome little space that was very well-lit and inviting. It felt more like an artist hangout or gallery than traditional tattoo shop. We were introduced to Norberto who would be doing the work, and he got busy setting up. I watched him do all the proper prep work I'm used to seeing in the states and he was very professional and had my two small pieces done in no time. Next was my wife, which was just as quick and pleasant. After settling our bill (which was very reasonable) they called us a cab and we rode away with our permanent reminders of our trip to Rome. My only regret was not having time to get a more extensive piece done. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I can't recommend Area Industriale enough.
