Tattoo shops in Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City, Southeast has 11 tattoo shops on the map. All 11 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 Ho Chi Minh City (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Cửa Hàng Xăm Spade Art and Tiệm Xăm Toma Kiệt, plus Tiệm Xăm Bob. If a studio's missing from Ho Chi Minh City's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Ho Chi Minh City

Picking a studio in Ho Chi Minh City? A little homework pays off:

• Ask about touch-ups at Cửa Hàng Xăm Spade Art. Most reputable shops offer free or cheap touch-ups within the first year. Ask about the policy up front.
• Document the healing at Tiệm Xăm Toma Kiệt. Photos of the healing process help your artist advise you, and help you judge their work honestly.
• Wear the right clothes. Easy access to the spot being tattooed, and nothing you love — ink stains don't wash out.
• Cover-ups need a specialist. Not every artist does good cover-ups. Look for healed cover-up photos in the portfolio, not just fresh work.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Ho Chi Minh City — 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 Ho Chi Minh City can take a while to appear. The 11 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 11 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.
