A small shop where things are done properly

A street-level shop in the middle of Calella: walk in, talk it through, walk out tattooed.

We are at Carrer de Sant Pere 46, two streets back from the beach. Two tattoo booths and a separate room just for piercings, so nobody has to wait next to a working needle. It is a small place and you can see most of it from the door — there is no back room here.

Everything that touches you is single use and gets opened in front of you: needles, cartridges, tubes, gloves, wrap. Sterile in, bin out. The few things we reuse go through the autoclave and get logged. If you want to watch us set the tray up before we start, just ask.

We are a small crew and always the same faces: whoever draws your design is the one who tattoos it. A lot of walk-ins and a lot of holidaymakers come through that door, so we work without appointments seven days a week and we speak Spanish, English and German. In a hurry? Come in the morning — from six in the evening it gets busy.
