Amazing experience. I have a few tattoos and this has been my favorite so far. Zepa is an amazing artist. He took the time to sketch out an idea and really listened to my input. The whole shop has a great environment. The team is very friendly and go out of their way to make your experience comfortable. Very clean and professional. I'll be back this summer! Thank you!

Place is clean and they all seem very professional. I paid 103.50 euros for snake bites... Went in assuming it would be way cheaper but whatever, my fault I should've asked before getting the holes done. I had problems with one of my piercings being totally misaligned even though I remembered the marking not looking that weird. I got in touch and asked if they could redo the piercing for me, not even a week after my original appointment. Once I was there the piercer was super friendly and did new markings that looked better. When it was almost time to pierce my skin, she told me that they would have to charge for the perforation, about 50 euros, which I wasn't aware of. I've never had a piercer charge to fix positioning before, neither have my friends. I rejected, because what do you mean your piercings cost 50 bucks each (standard titanium jewelry) and you can't even redo mine with charging it as if it was a brand new one? They told me that, had I noticed it after getting pierced on the same day that it would've been fine to not charge. How was I supposed to notice the misalignment when my lips were swollen? Anyway, they didn't offer a discount and insisted that they followed the rules established by the studio owner and yeah... At that point I gave up and walked out. Overall experience felt very corporate and disconnected from people, the piercer was nice though. Won't be coming back ever, extremely overpriced, incredibly gentrified and corporate feeling. I still respect the artists working there, they deserve praise and recognition, but upper management rules above all.

I’ve done more than a few tattoos with Nuno Aguiar already, but this was my first time at Art Body Studio. The space is super cozy, very clean, and instantly makes you feel comfortable. Nuno, as always, did not disappoint. He’s incredibly nice, careful with every detail, and has that perfect balance of professionalism and humor that makes the whole experience easy and relaxed. Highly recommend both the studio and Nuno if you’re looking for great work in a welcoming environment.

My sister and I are currently on vacation in Porto, Portugal, and we randomly walked into this tattoo/piercing shop… and instantly fell in love. We had already visited several shops before, but the welcome was always cold and uninviting, and it never made us want to stay. But here? The moment we walked in, we felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely at home. At first, we only went in to ask about prices and availability but then we met Iris !!! An absolutely extraordinary woman. She welcomed us with an incredible warmth, a big smile, amazing energy, and a kindness you rarely see !!! She stayed with us through the entire process, listened carefully to everything we needed, and was truly attentive. I personally have a special condition called Dermographism, so I didn’t know how my skin would react to a tattoo, but thanks to Thikz, who had already tattooed someone with a similar skin condition, I immediately felt reassured. His advice and confidence made me trust him completely, and I decided to get a small tattoo just to test my skin’s reaction. We arrived one hour before closing, yet they still took the time to take care of me like real professionals and I ended up leaving with a tiny heart on my wrist, done by the magician Enoque and he also tattooed my sister today. Both tattoos are perfect, and the healing is flawless so if you have sensitive skin like mine RUN to this shop! While my sister was getting tattooed, I decided to get my nipple pierced and it honestly became one of the most beautiful moments of my entire trip. That’s when I met Bruma. A stunning human being: smiling, gentle, delicate, understanding, and extremely professional. I originally planned to pierce only one, but the vibe was so good that I ended up piercing the second one too! And I want to mention something very personal, I’ve never liked my chest. It has always been one of my biggest insecurities but because of Bruma’s incredible work, her softness, and the way she made me feel safe and respected, I walked out of there feeling more confident and more comfortable with my body than I ever have. That alone made the whole experience unforgettable. I’ve rarely seen a piercer so organized and especially so clean. She looked more like a surgeon than a piercer: fully covered and protected, and the entire room was disinfected, from every single tool to my nipple! I felt safe every second. I want to thank the entire team for offering us an experience that we will carry in our hearts forever. It’s a memory we will never forget truly the most beautiful moment of our trip to Porto. If you’re in Porto and thinking about getting a tattoo or piercing, this is THE place to go. You won’t regret it. ✨💞

The staff and my artist, Tony, were fabulous & very professional. Cool studio too. I was a walk-in looking for a small Tattoo for the soul fulfilling Camiño I had just finished. Tony worked on some art ideas, while I waited in their beautiful lounge/waiting room with tea. I was a little nervous because it was my first ink machine tattoo (1st one done by bamboo sticks with tapping method in Thailand) but Tony was very gentle and it wasn't bad at all!! I highly recommend going there. Exceptionally clean, professional, & friendly!!!
