This was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. I first stopped in the day before my appointment, and they were incredibly helpful and patient. They even sent me home with tattoo samples so I could take my time deciding what I wanted. That alone meant so much to me.
I came back the next day around 7 PM, and I loved that they're open late. It's super convenient since so many places in Tulum close early. It also wasn't too busy, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable.
The artists were amazing. Asa helped me figure out the perfect placement for my finger tattoos, and Aren was my tattoo artist. He did an incredible job making sure the lines were clean and straight and that the dots were perfect. Finger tattoos definitely hurt (lol), but I got through it, and the pain faded after about five minutes.
They were quick, professional, and very clean. Everything was covered properly, and I felt totally safe the entire time. Loved the $150 tattoo and shot special. Such a fun touch! While I was getting tattooed, they gave my husband my shot and a mezcal one you can only get from Tulum.
Since I got finger tattoos, I know I'll probably need a touch up in about a month, and I'm already planning to do that. Luckily, there are Cleopatra Ink locations in San Francisco and Berkeley, which are closest to me, so that's perfect.
I'm super happy with this experience. Everywhere I go, I seem to get a new tattoo, and this one is very special to me. I loved the studio, loved the vibe, and loved the people. I can't recommend this place enough. I loved it so much and will definitely be back.
Highly recommend! read more
