Tattoos for Men

Tattoo ideas and styles popular with men, at our Barcelona and Berlin studios.
Tattoos for men: ideas, styles and placements
Тату-салон в Москве

There is no such thing as a men's tattoo, only tattoos that happen to be popular with men, so treat any list as a starting point rather than a rule. That said, the requests we get most from men lean toward sleeves and larger arm work, blackwork and black and grey, realism portraits, Japanese pieces, and lettering. Placement-wise the forearm, upper arm, chest, back and calf are the usual favourites. The right choice is the one that suits your idea and how it will age, not your gender, and our artists will tell you honestly what works. Explore realism, blackwork, a sleeve or arm tattoos. Send your idea on WhatsApp for a quote.

Frequently asked questions
How is a studio different from a private artist?
A studio means sterile conditions, certified artists, named portfolios and accountability. During healing, keep the tattoo moisturised so the scab stays soft and does not crack, and never pick or scratch it until it heals on its own.
What are popular tattoo ideas for men?
Common requests include sleeves, blackwork, black and grey realism, Japanese pieces and lettering, often on the forearm, upper arm, chest or back. But the best design is the one that means something to you and ages well, which we will help you choose.
What is a good first tattoo for men?
A medium piece on the outer forearm or upper arm is a sensible first tattoo: it suits most styles, heals easily and hurts less than bonier spots. See our first tattoo guide for the full rundown.
Do your artists speak English?
Yes. English is the working language at our Barcelona and Berlin studios, and we also speak Spanish and Russian. Your consultation, sketch approval and aftercare all happen in your language.
Can the price change after the quote?
No. The price we quote for your tattoo does not change.
What inks and materials do you use?
Professional American inks and single-use, sealed equipment.
Can I come in drunk?
No.
How do I care for a new tattoo?
Your artist explains it in full and gives you written aftercare instructions.

    Go vegan!

    I have been vegan for 15 years and look after my body, so I chose my studio purely on quality. They delivered.

    Found them on Google, arranged a time that worked for me with the artist, and the result came out clean and beautiful.
