Tattoo shops in Hoi An

Thinking about ink in Hoi An, Quảng Nam? Start with the studios: 2 are mapped here. All 2 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. A consultation costs nothing and tells you everything about how a shop runs.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Hoi An (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include IRI Tattoo and 1984 Tatto & Piercing. If a studio's missing from Hoi An's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Hoi An

A few things worth knowing before you work through Hoi An's tattoo shops:

• Don't drink the night before at IRI Tattoo. Alcohol thins the blood and makes you bleed more, which pushes ink out. Arrive sober and hydrated.
• Document the healing at 1984 Tatto & Piercing. Photos of the healing process help your artist advise you, and help you judge their work honestly.
• Walk-ins mean flash, usually. If you want custom work, book ahead. Walk-in slots are for flash designs and small pieces.
• Aftercare is half the tattoo. Follow the artist's instructions, not your friend's. Keep it clean, keep it moisturised, keep it out of the sun.

Good to know

We searched about 25 km around Hoi An — 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 Hoi An can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 2 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 2 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.
