What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Ghent
11 of the 36 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.
16 have websites listed. Studios with websites usually show portfolios there — the fastest way to tell if a shop's style matches yours.
3 of the studios are also tagged for piercings, handy if you're after both in one visit.

Tattoo tips for Ghent
A few things worth knowing before you work through Ghent's tattoo shops:
- Sun is the enemy of fresh ink at Tattoo Gino. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
- Bring sugar and water at Scorpio. Sessions run long and blood sugar drops. Candy and a water bottle are standard kit for regulars.
- Check the sterilisation setup. Single-use needles, sealed ink caps, gloves changed constantly. A good studio is happy to show you; a bad one gets defensive.
- Walk-ins mean flash, usually. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
Good to know
We searched about 30 km around Ghent — 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 Ghent can take a while to appear. The 36 above are only as current as the community map. A tattoo shop that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
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 36 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.
