The best tattoo studios in Chiang Mai will give you an indelible souvenir of your time in this memorable Thai city. Most places around the popular parts of Chiang Mai can, at the very least, duplicate a provided design or something from their own catalogue. Our list is reserved for those which offer something special, whether it’s outstanding service, extensive experience or a unique personal touch.

When looking for where to get tattoos in Chiang Mai, you’ll find that the majority of places use fresh needles for each tattoo and take cleanliness very seriously. The places on our list stand out for their use of high-quality inks, modern equipment (unless you want to try the traditional Thai bamboo tattoo technique, which some say hurts less) and skilled artists. With their extensive experience, they can minimise the pain and recovery time and give you a vibrant, well-drawn tattoo you can treasure and show off for the rest of your life.

Use this guide to recommended tattoo studios in Chiang Mai as a starting point, but always do your own research. Poke your head around the door, ask questions, and decide for yourself if the artist is the right one to give you your next tattoo.
