Oh my, I don't even know where to start about the experience I had recently at this tattoo shop. I had 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.

100% ALL THE WAY! We actually loved our artist Stefan so much we asked him to come to America for our wedding! Top notch work. My Hubbie find him on Fb and they set everything up through that. It worked out great. They spoke a bit of English, but hey we're in Italy right?!? Stefan spoke perfect English, but who needs words with lines like that! He's our artist for life!

First tatto

Little overpriced from American pricing but prob cause we were tourist. Worth the euros. Professional. Decent shop & location. Communication was good. Quick service. Equipment was sterilized Safe. (Make sure to pay attention to that.) All in all, my son was ecstatic with his first tatt in another country. Highlight of the trip, we highly recommend! Bring cash if your a tourist & negotiate the price unlike us. Thank you Alessandro

Nestled in the heart of Rome, this tattoo studio immediately stood out to me. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I noticed how clean, organized, and welcoming the space was. The professionalism is top-tier, and there's a great sense of energy and collaboration between the artists. I was a walk-in during my trip, so I wasn't sure if they'd have the availability to fit me in. Thankfully, they were able to make time for my piece and were incredibly attentive to my idea. You can tell they genuinely care about the work they create and take pride in giving each client something personal and meaningful. Elizabeth at the front desk was also wonderful. She was friendly and helpful throughout the process, from getting me scheduled to showing me the artists' work and explaining what to expect. Overall, I had a great experience and couldn't be happier with how everything came together. It's easy to see why this place has such a strong reputation, and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Rome for another piece. Grazie mille!

While in Rome we were trying to figure out a place to get a tatto close by…read more I used the yelp app to reach out to a few places and very quickly the Aureo team reached out and we were able to stop in and figure out what we wanted and then went the following day for our appointments! Staff is professional and engaging all spoke English A bit on the pricey side but I admit this was my second tattoo so not a lot of experience in the tat world! Well worth it to me thank you! And the vibe was very hipster

!!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.

Simone and staff were great. Everyone from locals to a couple tourists walking in were treated…read morewell. Liking this shop! Simone is a talented artist who can execute the most perfect tattoo. When in Rome you can trust Jay Lester.
