Before we came to Madrid we wanted to do a lot of research on tat shops. This with many others popped up. We knew we were going to be there for a week and we wanted to get some ink. 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. read more
