If you want to take something closer to your body than just a souvenir as a memory of Minsk, here is a brisk review of some of the best tattoo studios in our beloved capital.
Dope Ink
vulica Skryhanava, 16
These guys have been painting human skin for 10 years already and have brought together a rich selection of talented artists. Dotwork, neo-traditional, black tattoos and realism — everything is possible here. And the price list is great — starting from € 50.
Right Stuff
praspiekt Puškina, 28
A classy studio full of classy people. You can not only mark yourself with a piece of art but also buy some tattoo supplies for yourself: all sorts of tattoo guns, bottles of ink and needles at hand. Check out their Instagram for complete insight into Right Stuff handiwork.
Good Sign
vulica Piatra Mscisłaŭca, 2
Good Sign is one of the most recognized tattoo shops in Minsk. These guys are very proactive, public and open about their work. And their tattoos are kickass to boot. In addition to local full-time artists, guest tattooists from different countries visit Good Sign all the time. Just follow their Insta and stay up to date.
Lucky Stamp
praspiekt Niezaležnasci, 85
Lucky Stamp guys are young and gifted. Here the fares are fair, the atmosphere is creative, and people are nice. Free consultation, sterility and a set of experienced tattooists will let you feel the pleasure of pain.
Petlya
vulica Kalvaryjskaja, 62
These cuties are here just as for the sake of cool tatts, so too for the animals. They have recently had an animal care walk-in day: help a stray dog — get inked for free. Nice, huh? Piercing is available at the place as well. Go check out the artists on the website and get some ink done.
Naprasno
The punk guys in town. You should get tattooed here if you’re not a coward! And they have cool merch you can buy and enjoy. Cool black, graphic or dot works tatts are waiting for your chunk of skin. Contact them on social media to make an appointment with the artist.
