Tattoo by Kokoartwork

Skip the Sairee strip and head to Mae Haad. Tattoo by Kokoartwork keeps things calm and focused a short walk from the pier. Bright light, neat benches, and sketches on the wall set the tone; the buzz of the machine does the rest while Koko runs you through ideas and placement. This is a custom-first studio with a soft spot for Thai-inspired linework and island motifs. Bring your concept and watch it evolve from pencil to stencil with thoughtful input on scale and flow. Expect crisp lines, clean shading, and sak yant‑leaning details—lotus, waves, guardian figures—if you want a Koh Tao nod. The space is spotless and professional, and aftercare is explained before you head out into the sun. Open daily 9am–10pm, it’s easy to time a session around dives and ferries. Walk-ins are often possible, but send a quick message on Facebook if you want a late-afternoon slot in high season. You’ll find the studio near Mae Haad in central Koh Tao; call +66 89 588 3983 if you prefer to book by phone.
