02 · What we do
Styles on the board
Lettering & script
Names, dates, verses, memorials. Fine script that still reads years from now, sized and placed so it sits right on the body.
Cover-ups
Old ink reworked into something solid. Send a photo of the original in daylight and you get an honest answer about what is possible over it.
Sleeves & colour
Half and full sleeves built up session by session, plus colour accents where they earn their place. Quarter-sleeve specials run through the year.

“What an awesome experience! Clean shop and crisp line work! Two qualities I look for in a tattoo artist! If I’m ever back in Curacao I’ll definitely stop in for another!
“Great place. A true artist. He has a small building specifically built for tattooing with air-conditioning. And free wifi. He charges per piece not per hour.
“Everything is neat, tidy, and sterile in Balu's small but very effective studio. There is air conditioning and pleasant background music (which you can choose yourself). Balu takes his time with you, thinks along with you in every way, and is a true artist.
