Tattoo shops in Quezon City

Thinking about ink in Quezon City, Metro Manila? Start with the studios: 10 are mapped here. All 10 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 Quezon City (within about 18 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Badjo Tattoo and Art Works and Tattoo Project, plus Staycold. If a studio's missing from Quezon City's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Quezon City

A few things worth knowing before you work through Quezon City's tattoo shops:

• Cover-ups need a specialist at Badjo Tattoo and Art Works. Not every artist does good cover-ups. Look for healed cover-up photos in the portfolio, not just fresh work.
• Ask about touch-ups at Tattoo Project. Most reputable shops offer free or cheap touch-ups within the first year. Ask about the policy up front.
• Book a consultation first. Most good shops offer free consults. You get to meet the artist, talk placement and price, and see how clean the place is.
• Browse portfolios before anything else. A studio's Instagram or website tells you more than any review. If nobody there does the style you want, keep looking.

Good to know

We searched about 18 km around Quezon 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 Quezon City can take a while to appear. The 10 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 10 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.
