Getting a tattoo in Jakarta as a visitor

Where is the studio?

Rukan CBD, Jl. Green Lake City Boulevard No. 52 Blok M, Ketapang, Cipondoh, Kota Tangerang, Banten 15147, Indonesia. Open in Google Maps.

Green Lake City sits in Tangerang, next to West Jakarta. The studio lists these nearby areas: Cengkareng, Puri Indah, Kota Tangerang, Karawaci, Alam Sutera, and Gading Serpong.

Travel time in Jakarta changes a lot with traffic. Confirm your appointment and route before you leave.

When is the studio open?

Every day, by confirmed appointment only. The first session starts at 12:00 WIB and the last session starts at 20:00 WIB (WIB is UTC+7). The studio does not guarantee a slot to walk-ins, so book before you travel.

How much does a tattoo cost?

Vix Cassano and Onggoman: Rp1,500,000 for a one-hour session or Rp1,000,000 for a session under one hour. Solana and Michaela: Rp1,200,000 for a one-hour session or Rp800,000 for a session under one hour. Additional time and the final total are confirmed through consultation.

How do I book from abroad?

1. Send your idea, placement, rough size, black and grey or colour preference, travel dates, and references on WhatsApp +62 813-9965-9187, or fill in the booking brief.
2. The studio matches you with the right artist and gives an initial estimate.
3. Pay the Rp500,000 deposit using the payment details sent in the official WhatsApp chat. Your date is secured once the studio confirms receipt.
4. Arrive 10-15 minutes early on the day. Bring official identification: clients must be 18 or older.

Do not send money to account details found anywhere other than the official WhatsApp chat.

Can I finish a tattoo in one visit?

Small pieces may fit into one session; the artist confirms the expected time after reading your brief. Large projects such as a full sleeve or back piece can take several sessions. For example, Beauty Carved from Shadow by Onggoman in the studio's public archive took five sessions. If you are only in town for a few days, say so in your brief so the artist can suggest a design and size that fits your schedule.

Planning a tattoo around a trip

A new tattoo needs a quiet first few weeks. The studio's aftercare guide asks you to avoid swimming, the sea, pools, saunas, and direct sun during early healing, and to skip the gym for around two weeks. If your trip continues to a beach destination, it is usually easier to get tattooed near the end of your trip rather than at the start. Read the full aftercare guide before you book.

If you fly home soon after the session, keep the area clean, avoid tight clothing over it, and follow the dressing plan your artist gives you. Contact the studio on WhatsApp if you are unsure about healing, and see a doctor if symptoms are severe, spreading, or come with a fever.

Which language can I use?

The website and the consultation brief are available in English, Bahasa Indonesia, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, and Japanese.

Choosing an artist

You do not need to know the artists before you write. Start with the artist comparison, the style guide, or the portfolio. To test placement before you arrive, use Tattoo Vision with your own photo; the image stays on your device.
