Private group · VIP · Milestone
For one evening,
the studio is yours
We close the doors, assign one artist and give the room to you — alone, as a couple, or with your whole group. The concept is agreed on WhatsApp before you land, so you arrive to a plan instead of a decision.
Sterile, single-use
New needles and tubes unsealed in front of you at the start of every session.
Four languages
Planning in English, Spanish, French and Dutch, from first message to aftercare.
Adults only, sober
Informed consent required. We postpone rather than compromise on safety.
Reserved artist time
A deposit is what removes hours from the calendar. Slots are never oversold.
01 — Designed around your story
You arrive to a plan, not a decision
Tell us the date, how many of you there are, the size, style and meaning you have in mind. We come back with a realistic schedule, the right artist and a deposit plan — before anyone books a flight.
More than a tattoo appointment. A private Riviera Maya memory, made permanent.

02 — Priority experiences
Private by design, not by request
Seven formats, one method: concept agreed before arrival, artists reserved, nothing improvised.
01
Private Group Tattoo
Two to twelve guests, coordinated concepts, one reserved block of studio time.
02
The Birthday Chapter
A milestone birthday marked with a piece designed around the year, not the trend.
03
Friends Reunion
A shared symbol for a group that no longer lives in the same country.
04
Couples & Matching
Two pieces that speak to each other without being identical.
05
Closed Studio, Two People
An evening session with the doors shut. Nobody else in the room.
06
The Large Piece
Multi-hour or multi-day work in reserved blocks, never rushed between walk-ins.
07
Cover-Up & Finishing
Old work reworked or completed by an artist chosen for that specific problem.
03 — How it works
Five steps, and four happen before you land
Share your date and group details on WhatsApp. Availability is confirmed only once the deposit is in and the artist is assigned.
01
Send your details
Date, group size, style, meaning — one WhatsApp message is enough.
02
Receive a planning recommendation
Realistic schedule, artist allocation, deposit plan.
03
Approve concept and deposit
The deposit is what removes those hours from the studio calendar.
04
Arrive to a reserved room
Your block is held. Evening slots exist for closed-studio sessions.
05
Aftercare that survives the beach
Written instructions for tropical climate, plus follow-up once you are home.

Detail holds up years later, or it does not
Realism, fine line, blackwork, Mexican traditional, neo-traditional and cover-ups — all photographed in the studio.

06 — Before you book
The questions we actually get
What does “private” actually mean?
The studio is closed to walk-ins for the duration of your session and your artist takes no other client in that block. For evening VIP sessions the front doors stay shut.
How far ahead should we book a group?
For two to four guests, three to four weeks is comfortable. For five or more, or a wedding or birthday weekend, start six to eight weeks out.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. The deposit is what removes those hours from the calendar and assigns your artist. It is credited against the final price.
Can we get tattooed after drinking?
No. We tattoo sober adults only, and we will move your slot rather than compromise on that.
How do we protect it at the beach?
You get written aftercare for tropical climate: sun, salt water and sand each have their own rule. We follow up on WhatsApp once you are home.
What languages do you work in?
English, Spanish, French and Dutch — from the first message through to aftercare.
