Why People Trust Bamboo Tattoo Studio

This is my 2nd time getting a tattoo at bamboo Tattoo and they just continue to blow me away. The standards at this shop are high and the results show! 12 years ago I got a large back piece done by Pepsi and this week I was lucky to be able to get another personalized tattoo by Naomy! Incredible work from her, super chill experience and already healing so nicely! I can’t recommend her work, or this shop enough! Super clean, super friendly, great work.

I had a great experience with Bamboo tattoo. Roman was my artist and he was there with me right from ideation, to creating the design and in bringing it to life. I would 100% recommend Roman and at some point in time will come back to him for my next tattoo. Roman’s journey is also really inspiring and I would love for him to be successful in his journey!
