Tattoo shops in Port of Spain

A tattoo is a permanent decision made in a room you'll spend hours in, so the studio matters as much as the artist. Port of Spain, Trinidad has 3 tattoo shops mapped right now. All 3 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 Port of Spain (within about 25 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include 13 Colours Ink Tattoo Shop and Body Art Caribbean, plus Inkwerx Tattoos Trinidad. If a studio's missing from Port of Spain's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Port of Spain

A few things worth knowing before you work through Port of Spain's tattoo shops:

• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink at 13 Colours Ink Tattoo Shop. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
• Eat before your session at Body Art Caribbean. A real meal, not a granola bar. Long sessions on an empty stomach are how people faint.
• Trust the artist's placement advice. They've seen thousands of bodies. If they say the design won't age well there, listen.
• 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 25 km around Port of Spain — 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 Port of Spain can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 3, or a tattoo shop we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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 3 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.
