!!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.

We walked in and were greeted by two ladies at a reception desk. This place gives more art gallery than tattoo parlor. Gone are the cheesy heats with daggers and mom tattoos, on the walls, replaced with original paintings. We knew what we both wanted, the two ladies were really helpful. They were full this particular day but they were able to scheduled appointments for us at 11:30, the next day. $50 deposit, industry standard, was required to book the appointment. They do give you an estimate of time price for each tattoo. Saturday morning we show up, I meet with the tattoo artist, Giorgia. I just wanted a simple green, grape leaf tattoo. I had a picture of the leaf. She goes in back, to work on the piece. We talk about maybe doing more of a fall color for the leaf, From green to yellow and green edges of the leaf to a reddish tinge. The Giorgia asked to use color for the stem instead of black ink. I agree, she's the artist in the canvas. We start and this is my 11th tattoo, I've never seen anyone work like this. It was more like a painting than a tattoo. She layered color and shaded colors. Then end result is stunning. I couldn't be more happy. So glad we came here.

The piercer made sure I saw him put on fresh gloves and open each piece of equipment from a new package. 2) I was walked through the entire piercing and healing process before confirming that I still wanted a piercing. Every question I could have thought to ask was answered and then some. 3) They took me in no problem, even though they were packing up to close at the end of the day. I went in about 20 minutes before closing. 4) It was easy to communicate despite my not speaking Italian. Could not be happier with a first-time piercing. Clean, safe, comfortable.

The owner, Gabrielle, was very welcoming and accommodating. He took care of the piercings himself, and he and one of the girls working that day helped me pick out the right size hoops. One thing I absolutely have to mention is that the shop only had one of the 12 gauge hoops I needed, so Gabrielle gave me a 14 to wear in the hole until the 12 arrives at no extra charge. I was in and out of the studio in less than half an hour and couldn't have asked for better service (keep in mind that this was August, when most shops in Rome are closed.)
