Tattoo shops in Geneva
Geneva, Geneva has 23 tattoo shops on the map. All 23 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. Walk-ins are worth asking about, but the good custom work everywhere books weeks out.
This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Geneva (within about 30 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include TribeHole and Crazy needles, plus Pachacamac. If a studio's missing from Geneva's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Geneva
First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Geneva:
- Bring sugar and water at TribeHole. Sessions run long and blood sugar drops. Candy and a water bottle are standard kit for regulars.
- Plan around your calendar at Crazy needles. Don't get tattooed right before a beach holiday or a marathon. Give it two quiet weeks.
- Don't haggle on price. You're paying for hours of someone's skilled labour on your skin forever. Bargain hunting has no place in a tattoo shop.
- Don't pick the scabs. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
Good to know
We searched about 30 km around Geneva — 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 Geneva can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 23 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 23 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.
