I was entertaining the idea of getting a tattoo while in Chiang Mai, but with the sheer amount of shops in the city, I hadn't a clue where to start. So I did the only thing I could, I went by portfolios. While walking down Loi Kroh road I came across Bloodline Tattoo, and their portfolio told me everything I need to know. Not only was it the best work I had seen in Chiang Mai, honestly it's some of the best work I've seen anywhere period. Matt, the shop manager, greeted me when I walked in and asked what I had been thinking of getting done. He immediately struck me as running a professional crew and tight ship. I did have a general idea in mind, but I wanted my artist, Yung, to have his creative freedom to be, well, an artist. We discussed a few ideas, I shot them a few pictures off of Pinterest to go on, and let Yung do his thing. After 4 days of 6 hours each day, I could not possibly be happier with the end result. It's better than I could possibly hope for. The shop environment was friendly and welcoming, and though I don't speak Thai that well, I found myself laughing with the rest of the shop with their jokes and conversations. The professionalism of the work is beyond question. There isn't a doubt in my mind where I'm going to return to to have more ink therapy done while in SE Asia. Bloodline is by far the best around for quality, craftsmanship, cleanliness and creativity. My thanks goes out to...
Read moreAmazing experience at Bloodline Chiang Mai. Research quite a few studios in the area and artists. Saw Bloodline was highly rated and looking at Yong’s work, decided I wanted to go in to speak with him. I first contacted Matt the Australian manager through Instagram and explain my idea, positing and dates ect. From the first message he was extremely helpful and invited me in for a consultation at a time that was suitable for me. After the consultation with Matt where I let him know more about what I wanted, sent over images and discussed tattoo location, I felt extremely happy and booked to meet with Yong - the artist a few days later. Meeting with Yong prior to tattoo day was brilliant. I felt comparable and extremely happy with the view of who the design would look, and both Yong and Matt spend the time adjusting the design until I was 100% happy. The next day I arrived for my appointment and the whole process took about 4 hours (1 hour prep, 3 hours tattoo time with a 5 minute break. Yong, thank you so much the tattoo is absolutely amazing and so much more than I could have imagined. Matt, you were so welcoming and helpful from our first contact. And all the other guys, that’s for keeping me smiling during the painful parts! Cannot recommend this place enough! See you...
Read moreI can’t recommend Luke and Bombay at Bloodline Tattoo Chiang Mai enough.
Before coming here, I had been to a few other tattoo shops in Chiang Mai, and honestly, the experience was disappointing – the treatment, the atmosphere, and the quality of work just weren’t what I was hoping for. I was so close to giving up on getting my tattoo altogether.
Then I walked into Bloodline Tattoo, and everything changed. From the moment I stepped in, the team was welcoming, professional, and genuinely cared about the experience I was about to have.
Luke and Bombay absolutely blew me away with their skill and creativity. I got work done on both my forearm and leg, and it is by far the best tattoo work I’ve ever had. The detail, precision, and artistry went beyond my expectations. They made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and listened to what I wanted, while also giving expert advice that really brought the designs to life.
The tattoos are not just ink on skin – they’re true works of art. I’ve had countless compliments already, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Bloodline.
If you’re in Chiang Mai and thinking about getting a tattoo, don’t waste your time anywhere else. Go straight to Luke, Bombay, and the team at Bloodline Tattoo – you’ll thank...
