I highly recommend Mason's ink studio, They're amazing on the way they did my tattoo and cover up, from the first image to the second image you can't even tell it was a cover up, l'm so happy with the outcome, the staff are so nice and helpful, with suggestions as well, and they are so well priced for what they do.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable experience at Mason’s Ink Tattoo Studio, Bali! ❤️ From the moment we walked into Mason’s Ink Tattoo Studio, we were welcomed with the biggest smile from Vinka at reception. She was so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for. She matched us with the most talented artists for our individual designs, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Agus brought Quentin’s design to life, and Chris turned my family flower bouquet into something truly meaningful by helping bring the story behind each flower to life. 🌸 Both artists were incredibly patient, took their time with us, and made sure we were 100% happy and confident with our final designs before getting started. Chris was especially gentle and constantly made sure I was comfortable and at ease throughout the process. That kind of care and attention makes such a difference, especially when your tattoo holds so much personal meaning. And then there was the shop dog and her puppies! 🐶❤️ Before we knew it, we felt less like customers and more like part of the Mason’s Ink family. That’s what made the whole experience even more special. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, welcoming and clearly passionate about what they do. The studio was clean, professional and hygienic, which gave us complete confidence throughout our visit. These weren’t just tattoos for us. They are a little piece of Bali that we get to take home with us. ❤️ If you’re looking for a tattoo studio in Seminyak Bali where talent, professionalism, kindness and genuine care come together, we cannot recommend Mason’s Ink Tattoo Studio enough! A massive thank you to Vinka, Agus, Chris and the entire team for making our experience so special. You’ve left us with more than just beautiful tattoos — you’ve given us memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. We will most definitely be back! 🇮🇩❤️✨

I had a fine line flower tattoo done by Rony and it went better than I ever imagined. I was really nervous as it was my first tattoo and Rony was really patient whilst I decided on size and placement. The studio was really clean and needles are brand new so no concerns at all. 10/10 experience for my first tattoo. Thank you Rony and the Masons Ink Tattoo team for looking after me!

Amazing Experience at the Tattoo Studio Thank You, Kris! I had a wonderful experience at this tattoo studio! The atmosphere was welcoming, clean, and professional, and Kris was absolutely amazing. He listened carefully to my ideas, paid attention to every little detail, and helped bring my vision to life beautifully. His patience, creativity, and attention to detail made the whole experience comfortable and special. I’m so happy with the result, especially because my tattoo has a personal and meaningful story behind it. Thank you, Kris, for your incredible work and for making this experience so memorable. I highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and caring tattoo artist!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ While on holiday in Bali, we did extensive research into tattoo studios near our hotel before finally deciding on Masson’s Ink, and we’re so glad we did! We booked our tattoos just the day before, and communication through Instagram was almost instant, making the whole process super easy. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel comfortable. The studio was absolutely spotless, which was really reassuring! My tattoo artist was Nichi, and she was so lovely! To be honest, I originally had no idea what I wanted tattooed or even where I wanted it placed. Everyone else in our group was getting a tattoo while on holiday, and I had a serious case of FOMO 😂 Nichi was incredibly patient with me, helping with placement and making sure I was happy with everything before starting. She also made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. All the tattoo artists were so friendly and welcoming to our group of four. They were more than happy to have a laugh and some banter with us, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable! One thing that really stood out to me was the attention to hygiene and safety. Before starting, the artist took the time to show us the sterile needle packaging and expiry dates, which was incredibly reassuring and demonstrated their professionalism. Overall, such a fantastic experience from start to finish! Amazing artists, a spotless studio, great communication and such a welcoming atmosphere. We all left extremely happy with our tattoos! Would absolutely recommend Masson’s Ink to anyone looking to get tattooed while in Bali! 🖤

I got my dream tattoo done here by Bron, John Wick. Bron's technique is amazing, it's almost painless, and the price is over 70% cheaper than when I consulted him in Taiwan. A large back tattoo for 12,000 NTD is incredibly affordable! ❤️❤️❤️ I immediately booked a smaller one too! 🥰🥰🥰
