Receiving a tattoo is likened to a spiritual and religious experience in this lookbook<\/a> of tattoo parlours<\/a> run by renowned artists across the world.<\/p>\n

Designers and tattoo artists partnered on the studios below from Miami<\/a> to Kyiv<\/a> with the same thoughtfulness applied to the tattooing itself.<\/p>\n

From the stark, pared-down white and black palette of Bang Bang Tattoo<\/a> to the serene curves of Haram Haram<\/a>, each project takes a completely different approach to providing an environment for the art and its client.<\/p>\n

Many of the projects also sought to highlight the transformational aspect of receiving a tattoo, such as a Kidz Studio project for Sinners in Denmark<\/a>, which leaves clients feeling like “a new version of oneself”.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring Mexico City restaurants<\/a>, reclaimed materials<\/a> and vaulted ceilings<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Haram Haram, USA, by Chimera Design<\/a><\/p>\n

Located in Miami<\/a>‘s Little River neighbourhood, tattoo parlour Haram Haram has an interior design informed by traditional Arabic motifs, which help to reframe tattooing as “a ceremonial practice deserving of reverence”.<\/p>\n

“Arches, niches, and curved built-in elements guide visitors through a sequence of spaces that move from public to private, creating a sense of procession and quiet ritual,” said US studio Chimera Design, who worked with Lebanese-Indonesian artist Natashia El-Badewi to create the space.<\/p>\n

Sinners, Denmark, by Kidz Studio<\/a><\/p>\n

The Sinners shop in Aarhus<\/a> was developed around its title and its connection to wider spiritual beliefs associated with the word, such as the notion of birth, transformation and reincarnation.<\/p>\n

“This mirrors the tattooing experience itself: arriving with bare skin, undergoing a transformative process, and leaving permanently marked \u2013 a new version of oneself,” Kidz Studio\u00a0explained.<\/p>\n
