Two Guns Tattoo is an Aussie-owned tattoo studio in Bali, manned by a team of highly skilled artists who use imported American inks and guns in their freehand work.

Balinesia Tattoo Studio is Australian-backed and has two 2 studios in Bali: one on Poppies Lane in Legian and another on Jalan Pantai Kuta along the way to the beach. Manned by awesomely skilled Balinese artists, Tagel, Ibud and Jet Lee, they specialise in custom and creative tattoo designs. You can either choose from their extensive gallery and albums or you are welcome to bring your own.

It’s also one of the few reputable studios that can also do body piercing art. Their studios welcome you into a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All equipment and hygiene are of Australian standards, using quality ink and all new disposable needles.

Redskin Bali Tattoo has been in business since 1998 when rotary tattoo machines were still in place. Now, modern and further upgraded and with an extensively grown portfolio, its tattoo artist and owner, Agusto, is capable of accepting any kind of order.

The studio boasts a minimalistic design complete with a waiting room that is equipped with air-conditioning, cable TV and internet. The tattooing equipment are also international standard, with needles and quality ink imported from America. Agusto does tribal art, simple wordings and calligraphy, portraits, artistic renderings of Balinese motifs such as the Barong and other mythical figures, both in black and white and full colour shades.

Aussie-run Tattoo Hut is where resident artist Jony delivers all kinds of freehand styles, from Balinese to Oriental designs in highly detailed shades and vivid colours. Since 2014, Tattoo Hut maintains its high hygiene standards, with new disposable needles for every customer, and using imported American inks.

Depending on the area and size of your chosen tattoo design, and whether it is detailed and multi-coloured, tattoo sessions vary in price, depending on whether it’s a small design or an elaborate full sleeve.

Bali Family Tattoo Studio opened in 1973, making it one of the longest standing tattoo studios in the Legian and Kuta area (and probably the whole of Bali). Their equipment is constantly upgraded, using sterile, clean and safe needles and disposable, single-use inks.

They offer a diverse selection of freehand styles and ready designs in their portfolio. These range from Balinese mask and mythical beast designs such as the Barong and Rangda, as well as portraits, symbols, Vikings, and animal and floral patterns in colourful shades. In addition to tattoos, they also do body piercings and dreadlocks as well. Depending on your bargain, larger areas can actually cost less.
