Tattoo shops in Ubud

Ubud, Bali has 3 tattoo shops on the map. 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. 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 Ubud (within about 20 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Golden Hand and Galeri Mikro, plus Bali Bagus. If a studio's missing from Ubud's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

Tattoo tips for Ubud

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Ubud:

• Don't pick the scabs at Golden Hand. Healing tattoos itch and flake. Picking pulls ink out with the scab and leaves patchy spots.
• Ask about the deposit at Galeri Mikro. Custom pieces usually need a deposit that comes off the final price. Ask how it works before you sit down, not after.
• Sun is the enemy of fresh ink. UV fades tattoos fast, especially new ones. Once healed, sunscreen on the tattoo becomes a lifelong habit.
• Moisturise, don't drown it. Thin layers of the recommended ointment. Too much suffocates the skin and slows healing.

Good to know

We searched about 20 km around Ubud — 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 Ubud 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.
