Tattoo by ko

A compact, street-level studio run by Ko, a steady‑handed artist with a calm, patient way of working. It’s the kind of place you duck into off Khao San when an idea hits: clean benches, portfolios on the wall, and someone who’ll help refine your sketch into a piece you’ll be happy to carry home. Expect crisp line work, tidy script, and small travel pieces turned around with care. Pricing in this part of town is fair for the quality — think roughly 1,500–2,500 THB for small linework and more for detailed or larger designs. Ko is happy to talk placement, sizing, and tweaks before the stencil goes on, so bring references on your phone and a clear idea of scale. Walk‑ins are common most evenings, but you’ll have the best chat and shortest wait mid‑afternoon, before the nighttime Khao San rush. Hygiene is taken seriously — single‑use needles and proper sterilization — and you’ll leave with straightforward aftercare guidance so your ink heals cleanly on the road.
