BEWARE!
I gave them a chance to not have to leave this review but their responce was so rude so here it is.
My arm is infected after going here. I am unwell now and on antibiotics. The tattooist wasn't watching what he was doing, several times, he hit my hand (by accident) but didn't change the needle. Luckily the tattoo was nearly finished but the last bits he done are red, scabby and very sore now. Infected. I had to ice it for several days to reduce the pain and swelling.
They have tried to gas-light me and call me a liar. (That it's not infected, this is part of healing) I have 16 tattoos including a full colour sleeve. I know what healing looks like. This isn't it. Hence the doctor visit for antibiotics. They then told me he doesn't need to watch what he's doing, as he's that good!
No matter how good you are at anything you need to look at what you're doing! Would you drive a car while not looking at the road? Overpriced, arrogant and zero customer service. Plenty of other tattoo shops in Kos, don't go here.

The tattoo was in fact infected, as i seen a doctor who confirmed this and he prescribed antibiotics. My arm was hot, red and very very swollen. Ice was advised and it helped with the pain and swelling, I didnt apply the ice directly to the tattoo 🙄. I was very unwell with it, I couldn't sleep as it was throbbing for days. Your tattooer made a mistake and should have changed the needle. This is a simple fact. My aftercare had nothing to do with it. It was causing serious pain within 48hrs.
Actually you quoted me €900! For a small 3 hour tattoo. Crazy. I didnt agree on €400. I said €300 and I gave you €350, which is more than enough for a tattoo this size.
I didnt touch the needle, excuse me, i didnt move, your tattoo artist had his back turned as he was tattooing me, and turned back without looking and bumped off my hand. To which he said "Oops". You said he doesn't need to look, he's that good!? Does he have eyes in the back of his head? Ridiculous statement. It was an accident, but it was not my fault, and the needle should have been changed. Acting appropriately is watching what you are doing, not talking to someone behind them and not looking and what they are doing, 3 times he did this and on the 3rd time he touched my hand with the needle. I also have a tattoo mark on my thumb from this. It's been almost 2 weeks since I had this tattoo and it's hasn't healed correctly due to the infection. It's still red, sore and extremely itchy. Not normal. The ink on the infected areas, the places that were tattooed after he bumped my hand, are faded in comparison to the rest of it.
Learn from this. If you bump a needle off anything other than the sanitized tattoo area you CHANGE the needle. Everyone knows this. Stop denying accountability!! Accidents happen, blaming me is a joke. I am not the one at fault here.
This back and forth is ridiculous. Accidents happen, take accountability, apologise, learn from it and move on.

After carefully reviewing the photos you sent us, we can confirm that your tattoo did not show any signs of infection. It’s also important to note that we were not contacted by you at any point for aftercare advice. Applying ice directly on a fresh tattoo is strongly discouraged, as it can affect the healing process.
Regarding the price, we had agreed on €400, but you paid €350 and mentioned you didn’t have the remaining amount. We accepted this without any issue, as we value understanding and fairness with all our clients.

I got a spontaneous tattoo during my vacation.
The studio was clean, and great attention was paid to hygiene both during the preparation and the tattooing itself.
The tattoo is really well done – straight, fine lines, no unevenness, no wobbles or anything like that.
I’m very satisfied and can definitely recommend the studio.
