After organising an initial consultation with Kai, he designed something awesome with the inputs I provided. The quality and detail of Kai’s work is of the highest standard and the end result is exceptional. Would highly recommend Kai and Authentink Tattoo studio!

Pong gave me back my arm with his magnificent artistry, and he was also incredibly patient and kind throughout the entire process. I spent a year looking for a second cover-up to fix a failed tattoo (from a different place, of course) that was very difficult to remove or cover—a blackout on my wrist. I had six laser sessions, and it was still quite dark. I found a design I liked and went three times for consultations with Pong so we could work together on what I wanted, how to make it work and feel confident about it. I was super scared because I had already a cover-up attempt that didn't work because -despite what they say on their websites- finding a good tattoo artist who have an eye for challenging coverups is very very rare. Pong was very patient, very kind, and listened to me, which is very important when you had a failed tattoo. He drew and tested several stencils until I was happy with the design. On the tattoo day, his skill was impressive. I loved it even in the first outline. When he finished the tattoo, I can't put into words how much I love the result. I cried tears of joy, big, huge change in my life and my peace of mind. My tattoo is healing, and it gets more beautiful every day. I feel pumped and happy. He's not only an incredible tattoo artist and amazing person, he also listens, is very humble and will take care of you. If you need a cover-up, Pong is the person. Thank you Pong, gracias, I have your art forever with me, so proudly!

It started with calling around seeing if anyone could fit me in within the next hour. I started with Authentink due to their amount of reviews. Gentleman on the phone was happy to fit me in despite closing in 2 hours. Walk in, greeted immediately by the friendly lady and Kai sat down to help me with the tattoo I wanted on my neck. I wasn't sure about placement and he suggested we try two stencils and see. They have an atm inside the shop which makes it so hassle free and not only did Kai go through the aftercare to follow over the following days, they gave the printed version too. Despite knowing you already have tattoos, it confirms in my opinion that they're a good artist and care. Thank you so much to Kai for the tattoo. He was awesome and as someone who is picky, I so appreciate the fact that he perfected the wording/lines. It is so neat and I am so so so happy with it ❤️

First time attending the Authentink Tattoo Studio was on Ladies night and Woooow would be an understatement, the moment we walked in we we're greeted with the friendliest welcome the staff are beautiful and friendly. I was tattooed by Kaed and her energy is definitely a vibe will be booking with her again soon. Thank you to everyone that made it a wonderful night.

Had my first tattoo done here the other day during a walk in! All staff were very kind and helpful and the shop itself is like an art museum, it’s beautiful! My tattoo itself was a line work one that i planned to come back later and eventually colour. My artist Max was very good at helping me with placement and helping me get exactly what i wanted. The Tattoo itself was pretty quick with amazing results, honestly i was so relaxed i had a nap 😮💨 I’m definitely coming back !!
