!!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.

Nestled in the heart of Rome, this tattoo studio immediately stood out to me. From the moment I…read morewalked in, I noticed how clean, organized, and welcoming the space was. The professionalism is top-tier, and there's a great sense of energy and collaboration between the artists. I was a walk-in during my trip, so I wasn't sure if they'd have the availability to fit me in. Thankfully, they were able to make time for my piece and were incredibly attentive to my idea. You can tell they genuinely care about the work they create and take pride in giving each client something personal and meaningful. Elizabeth at the front desk was also wonderful. She was friendly and helpful throughout the process, from getting me scheduled to showing me the artists' work and explaining what to expect. Overall, I had a great experience and couldn't be happier with how everything came together. It's easy to see why this place has such a strong reputation, and I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in Rome for another piece. Grazie mille!

I walked-in for an impulsive septum piercing and was thrilled with the service…read more 1) The shop is very clean, and all tools are single-use and the jewellery is surgical steel. 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 shop is so warm and inviting, and all the artists are incredibly professional, kind, and clear. I got a navel piercing and my artist explained every step of the way what he was doing and why, which was super helpful and contributed to the easygoing and comfortable nature of my whole experience. My skin gets irritated very easily but by some miracle by the end of the same day I had virtually no swelling or redness! I had been worried about the pain but it was such a lovely, professional experience and I'm so grateful. Thank you so so much to Fabrizio and his team by far my most favorite find on my trip to Rome.

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.)
