Tattoo shops in Bandung

A tattoo is a permanent decision made in a room you'll spend hours in, so the studio matters as much as the artist. Bandung, West Java has 5 tattoo shops mapped right now. All 5 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Bandung (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Soraraga Studio and Scrowlight Skin Custom Tattoo, plus One die tattoo studio. If a studio's missing from Bandung's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Bandung

None of the 5 has opening hours in the map data, so treat this as a browse-and-discover trip. Most tattoo studios work by appointment anyway, so call or message before dropping in.

Most of the tattoo shops in Bandung list a phone number. Use it — a quick call tells you more about a studio's vibe than any review.

Tattoo tips for Bandung

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Bandung:

• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink at Soraraga Studio. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
• Avoid the cheapest shop in town at Scrowlight Skin Custom Tattoo. There's a reason it's the cheapest. With tattoos you get exactly what you pay for, permanently.
• Tip your artist. Standard practice, like any skilled service. Twenty percent is the usual benchmark for good work.
• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Bandung — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Bandung can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 5 that's closed, or a great tattoo shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 5 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
