!!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.

Flew to Italy, traveled the entire country and documented it by getting a tat here! I contacted…read moreStefano a month beforehand to inquire about coming in and what I was looking for. He asked to stop by as soon as I can before the actual date I was getting my tat to go over the logistics. He was super nice, attentive to detail, and really took his time to get the right font! Pricing is fair, gave him a tip on top of it too for doing such free work despite all the distractions of other ppl who wanted to do a walk in. Totally recommend!!

The owner, Gabrielle, was very welcoming and accommodating. He took care of the piercings himself, and he and one of the girls working that day helped me pick out the right size hoops. One thing I absolutely have to mention is that the shop only had one of the 12 gauge hoops I needed, so Gabrielle gave me a 14 to wear in the hole until the 12 arrives at no extra charge. I was in and out of the studio in less than half an hour and couldn't have asked for better service (keep in mind that this was August, when most shops in Rome are closed.) If you need some work done while you're in Rome, hit these guys up.

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.

Oh my, I don't even know where to start about the experience I had recently at this tattoo shop. I…read morehad always wanted the Shakespeare quote "Love all, Trust A Few, Do wrong to none. As I was passing through Rome I'd figure I'd go ahead and chose this shop since it was near by and had such wonderful reviews I gave the tattoo "artist" the quote and he typed it out on the computer and I selected the font and text I wanted. After he stenciled it in I asked for the front to be a little bigger and thicker front, but the same style of writing. Once he completed it I anxiously got up to look in the mirror and noticed the guy totally missed the "A" and only put "Trust Few". When I pointed it out he proceeds to tell me the meaning is the same and he couldn't add the "A" because he basically left no space. No idea how this shop got such good ratings! Also, once I left the shop and arrived to the train station I noticed I had forgot my Versace sunglasses. I called and sent messages and i was told immediately that they "didn't have the time to look for nor were they in the shop and that I must have left them in the taxi" while I knew this wasn't the case because I distinctly remember taking them off as I laid on the table. Once I arrived to my final destination an hour away does the bald headed shop guy texts me and says he found a pair of sunglasses and to describe what mine looked like. I sent a picture and he said he had found them behind a table. I asked him to mail back to me and I'd pay the shipping costs and I was told "he didn't have the time" so, what do I do?!? I decided to go back on the train an hour each way to retrieve. This guy gave me such a hard time getting my sunglasses half way in route. He insisted I provide him with my passport number and identification and sign a document he wrote in Italian to receive them back...seriously?! They had no business asking me for such info. I notified the police and gave the shops address and text history and was told to go retrieve and if any issues to call them. When I arrived I did not show him my passport and signed a paper to get my sunglasses back. What a hassle. Also, why didn't I need to show identification to get the tattoo? But, he want my passport number to pick up my sunglasses I think he thinks he's the police or something. All I can say is BEWARE!!! Also, is a seedy part of Rome, too! I've attached a photo of the text I gave the tattoo artist and what I ended up with. Also, the bald head piecing guys demand to sign a hand written paper in Italian before he'd give me back my own property.
