The studio
Tattoo studio in Kingston, Jamaica
A tattoo and piercing studio at Shop 5, 9½ Courtney Walsh Drive, in the middle of Half Way Tree. Clean, quiet and private, with a front desk that handles bookings, deposits and questions so the artist can concentrate on the work.
The studio sits in a small plaza on Courtney Walsh Drive, a short walk from the Half Way Tree transport centre and the Constant Spring Road shops, which makes it one of the easiest studios in Kingston to reach from anywhere in the city. Next door at Shop 4 is Ravenz Realm, the anime and gaming lounge run by the same owner, and the studio’s own walls carry murals painted by Ricardo and the artists he works with.
Inside, the room is set up for one thing: careful work on one client at a time. You are asked to sanitize your hands on the way in, a consent form is completed before every session, only the person being tattooed sits in the room unless a companion has been arranged in advance, and the only drink allowed is bottled water. It is a calm, clean environment, and the Google reviews mention exactly that more than anything else.
Cleanliness
Hand sanitizing on entry, consent forms for every client, single-client sessions and a studio that clients consistently describe as clean and sterile. Ask at the desk if you would like to see how the station is set up before your session.
