My first visit to Barcelona was amazing. What a beautiful, magical and epic metropolis. I am sorry…read moreI hadn't visited sooner. I did not think that I would be visiting Steelworks, but it just so happened my friend was interested in getting his ears pierced. Naturally, tagging along, I was inspired to add a 3rd piercing to my ear. Being in business for 27 years, Marta and Santi have an impeccable business. All visits are by appointment only. The studio is extremely clean, organized and very inviting. It is well lit, and overall a well run business. Marta made both my friend and I very comfortable like it was her home. The pain for our piercings were minimal, but Marta was super patient, precise and very meticulous. After the process was complete, Marta was all smiles and super thankful for our business. We kept thinking, what other body art do we want the next time we visit Barcelona. As a native, Marta also recommended a wonderful restaurant in nearby Sitges! Wish we could stay longer, but we depart tomorrow. If you are looking for a new tattoo artist or body piercer, PLEASE visit Steelworks. Look no further, this is the place you want to visit!

I have had tattoos in the past and decided to get a little ink. I researched what was on offer in Barcelona and was overwhelmed by the number of studios. But the one I kept coming back to was 19:28.

I was able to browse some of his work and am definitely calling back next time I am in town.

So we looked up a few shops on and this one caught our attention. As soon as we walked in, they greeted us and listen to our ideas and really collaborate with us to get the best style and placement. My fiancé liked it so much, she ended up getting our daughter's name as well. If you're ever in Barcelona and want some friendly artist with lots of experience, please don't hesitate to walk in.

Huge disappointment. Unfortunately, I did not get tattooed here. I had an appointment scheduled for…read moretwo weeks that was set up in-person upon my arrival in Barcelona. I call the shop the day of the appointment to confirm that credit card or Paypal will be accepted (coming from the US, I cannot easily withdraw over 200€ cash from a bank machine). This is how the conversation went (I do not know who spoke to me on the phone): "Hey, will you accept credit or Paypal?" - No, only cash. "I am sorry but I cannot get that much cash in Europe today." - Ok let me speak to my boss. ... - Did you leave a deposit? "No..." (I was never asked to leave a deposit) - Sorry Jota is really busy today and your appointment is now cancelled. Next time, when you come back to Barcelona, try to book 1-2 months in advance. He is really busy. End of conversation. I assume the actual issue was that I could not pay cash, but I am rating Siha Tattoo 1 star because I waited in anticipation for two weeks for an appointment that was suddenly cancelled and was told to "come back to Barcelona" later, as if this were a reasonable request. If the artist is too busy, the appointment should not be scheduled. Canceling a dinner date is trivial; canceling a tattoo appointment should be avoided at all costs, especially knowing the client will not come back to the country anytime soon. It is a huge blow to the psyche to mentally prepare for permanent alteration and be told on the scheduled day that it will not happen because the artist is "busy." Great artists here, I wish them the best.

We all have a few tattoos that we had been waiting to get. So we all were prepared. I wanted a Frida Kahlo tattoo but an outline of her head basically and i wanted it reallllllyyyyyy small. There's been other occasions where I'll go into a tattoo shop and they refuse to basically give me what i want even though it'll be a permanent mark on my body ( i don't get it ) but I think his name was Daniel. He totally worked with me and made it the PERFECT size. I'll post a picture once it's healed but i appreciated that he worked with what i requested. My friends loved theirs as well too. I'll post our pictures in a few days. But this place is cool! Not too pricey. I know yelp is mostly popular in America and a lot of business in other places don't have reviews but i think people should know this is a good spot. We took a chance since they didn't have reviews and it was totally worth it.

The guys are helpful, speak English when you need them to, and price their service very respectably compared to other salons. The atmosphere is very clean and relaxing, and you're in-and-out without much of a hassle in a short amount of time.

I emailed Toni a few weeks before with my idea and he gave me a VERY GOOD quoted price (which is rare for a tattoo artist to do in NYC they do hourly usually). I worried a bit that for the price the work would suffer. I could not have been more wrong. Toni is a true artist. He is so incredibly confident with his hand and it is reflected in just how clear his lines and overall work turns out. I will return to him every time I go to Barcelona for more tattoos. Both Toni and the other artist are very friendly, open, and easy to communicate with. The shop feels like a hangout where everyone is nonjudgmental and easy going. Walking around Barcelona after I got my tattoo everyone complimented the work and asked where I got it done. If you're thinking of getting a tattoo in Barcelona, don't think, go immediately to Blue Cat. You won't ever regret it.
