I really wanted a PT original and once we decided on Madrid as a vacation destination action, I HAD to see if I could get in. Once we arrived the staff was wonderful and professional.

Mikel ( i believe is his name) was very accommodating​ and designed a piece to my liking even if it isn't his style. He made sure I was okay and comfortable throughout the whole process. Hands down best tattoo experience I've had so far. When I come back to Madrid, I'll make sure to get tatted here again, because the experience and hospitality are worth it.

I Google translated an email, got a response quickly and we were booked for our Madrid inspired tattoos the next month. A beautiful studio, every person we encountered was friendly. Our Artist Caro had three designs for us to choose from that incorporated our postage stamp/Madrid flower into a small fine line tattoo. I chose the Poppy and I am completely satisfied! I love the placement, the price was affordable- Caro provided me the exact tattoo I envisioned leaving with! While my friend got her tattoo (which she also LOVES) I enjoyed a tea in the outdoor lounge in the back- a perfect Madrid tattoo experience!

He also does the type of work I am accustomed to getting but I was overcharged for what I got and my requests for some coloring/shading was rejected. I settled for the over price and what I was left with because it was my last day in the area and I have been collecting tattoos from all the areas I have traveled to thus far and I did not want to end here. Other than that, I would have gone elsewhere and do not recommend this place to traveling tourist. I only gave them two starts because the artist's lines are clean and the little coloring he did do is good and in the lines.

We checked out their social medial on Instagram to see what kind of work they did and the quality of the work they did. I sent a message to them and they were very responsive. They sent us the name of the artist that we would be working with which allowed me to check out his personal portfolio of ink. I checked out the followers, zoomed in on his line work and knew this was a good match for us! We scheduled a day, he was kind enough to draw out what we wanted and gave us a price without any obligations. We decided to move forward and glad we did. We worked with Alberto. We came in, it wasn't all glitzy and touristy. It was like a regular tat parlor. He was super friendly and greeted us. Very clear English, super chill personality. We gave him some inspiration photos and told him what we wanted to do with it to make it our own. He absolutely perfected it. We had been traveling to 3 countries and wanted the globe with the native flowers from each country traveled. Nailed it, literally. Gentle hands, didn't hurt at all! Husband decided to get one two days later by Alberto as well lol. Shop is clean, staff are friendly 5/5 highly recommend.
