Tattoo Studio for Uluwatu Visitors

Uluwatu and the Bukit are at the southern tip of Bali, about 45 to 60 minutes from our studios in Seminyak by car, longer around sunset. Most of our Uluwatu clients are there for the surf, so timing matters.

We have two partner studios about 800 metres apart: Mason's Ink Kerobokan at Jl. Raya Kerobokan No.120, and Mason's Ink Raya Taman at Jl. Raya Taman No.11, Seminyak. Both are open every day from 9am to 10pm.

Tattoos and surfing

You cannot surf or swim with a fresh tattoo. The sea, reef cuts, wax and sun all slow healing and can cause infection or fading. If your trip is mainly surf, book your tattoo for the last days in Bali, or get it at the start and plan two to four weeks out of the water.

Plan around the water. A new tattoo has to stay out of the sea, pools and direct sun until it has healed, usually 2 to 4 weeks. Our aftercare guide covers what to do day by day.

Getting here from Uluwatu

A Grab or Gojek car or a driver is the most comfortable way to make the trip. Leave Uluwatu in the morning to avoid the afternoon traffic around Jimbaran and the airport. Many guests combine the visit with a night in Seminyak.

What surfers often get

Waves, compass and ocean designs are common, from small fine line pieces to Japanese waves and blackwork. Look through the artist profiles to find an artist whose work fits.
