I got a tattoo here after seeing a recommendation on TikTok, and I’m so glad I did. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I booked through their Instagram page, and the process was quick and easy. They took plenty of time to make sure the design and placement were exactly how I wanted them, and I never felt rushed. The artist was professional, patient, and really listened to what I was looking for. If you’re looking for a studio that can confidently tattoo black skin, they can absolutely accommodate and create a beautiful piece. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d highly recommend them! x

I wanted to get a tattoo in honor of my cat who passed away and this studio was the perfect place to do it! Their work is very clean and they are very talented people. The team was also sooo nice and accommodating, I had changed my design last minute and they were very quick to adapt. I'll definitely be coming back for more!!

I had a great experience at Normal tattoo studio. My tattoo artist Eti really took the time to design the motif after my wishes and consulted me well. It was also reassuring that additionally they had fluent English speaking staff, so that the communication was super clear. The studio is very clean and the atmosphere is really nice and chill. The tattoo turned out so pretty, the lines are very clean and it’s super detailed. I‘m very happy with the result. It’s the best souvenir from HCMC/Vietnam that you can get!

I made an appointment with Baduc from Germany for two tattoos. The studio is very easy to find and has a great atmosphere, so you feel comfortable right away. The team put a lot of effort into fulfilling my wishes! Baduc tattoos with great precision and clarity; her work is truly impressive! Thank you for the time and the beautiful tattoos. I can only recommend this studio to everyone!

Top-notch tattoo studio. I contacted Baduk directly on Instagram, but since she was fully booked, she suggested someone else from the shop do the tattoo (I received photos of their work beforehand to be sure). Edy ended up doing my tattoo; he took the time to help me choose the size, placement, and lots of details. He was very kind and everything went well. I'm really happy with the tattoo! 😃

We had an amazing experience with Normal Tattoo! The space is clean and comfortable and all the staff are very kind and helpful. We sent our ideas and availability via Instagram and they were able to find us a spot within two days of our inquiry. On the day of the appointment they showed us some potential designs and we worked together to choose our favourites. There was also a translator present if we needed it. We are super happy with our new tattoos! Our artist was Eti — his line work is some of the cleanest I’ve seen. The tattoos came out beautifully and worked out to be about $350USD for both. Since we had two people getting tattoos, we were in the studio from 10am to 7pm. They made sure we were comfortable the entire time! They let us order lunch to the studio and offered pillows and blankets while I was waiting for my sister’s to be done. Overall, a lovely experience! Will definitely be back next time we’re in Ho Chi Minh.

Both artists were very patient and gave us plenty of time and advice to decide on the right placement for our tattoos. The whole experience was fantastic and we’re so happy with the final result!! Would definitely recommend this studio

I found Baduk on Instagram and she recommended me to Eti who did AMAZING on my tattoo. Everyone there was so friendly and accommodating. Eti was so patient with creating my design especially the little details. I was also really indecisive on how to incorporate my original tattoo but he helped me with the placement and through every single step without making me feel bad for taking so long to decide. I let him know areas where I was more scared of the pain so he would work in sections and he was very light handed so it was manageable. Definitely my favorite tattoo now to honor my Vietnamese heritage. Thank you Eti and the Normal Tattoo Studio team for making my experience amazing. Will definitely be back and recommending all my friends here!

I got a tattoo at this studio and I recommend it 100%. The welcome is very good, and they take the time to explain each step. I was tattooed by Baduc, who was very nice, meticulous, and attentive. I was able to ask her to touch up certain areas. After the tattoo, she takes the time to answer questions on Instagram and cares about the healing process. Really great service, fine and well-done tattoos, and a very warm welcome!

We got our tattoo souvenirs here last April 16th, a few days before our flight back to Manila. Baduc and her team were easy to talk to. They were able to do the exact designs we both wanted. Definitely worth the price given the attention to detail. Thank you!

I’m super happy with my tattoo and the whole experience at this studio! The place is beautiful, very clean, and clearly maintains high hygiene standards. The artists are incredibly talented, and I really loved how they worked together as a team, constantly communicating and making sure everything was just right. They gave me plenty of time to think about the placement and were very patient when I wanted to adjust it until it felt perfect. The final result is absolutely stunning. So fine, detailed, and exactly how I imagined it. What impressed me even more was their dedication: even after we were basically done, they took the time to set everything up again and add a small extra detail I decided on at the last minute. Not because they missed anything, but simply because I changed my mind—and they were still super kind and accommodating. Communication was great throughout, and the whole experience felt professional, relaxed, and really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this studio! So happy with my forever souvenir from Vietnam :)

The best tattoo studio i’ve experienced. Every member of staff was extremely kind and it was very easy to communicate. They put a lot of effort into making my tattoo perfect, incorporating my opinion as well as their professional opinion. They made as many changes I wanted, whether it was removing something, changing the size, or shading. It was a full day session, where they also cared about my health and ensured we ate throughout the appointment. Definitely will come back on my next visit to Vietnam!

Amazing experience overall—I had a full 8-hour session and felt comfortable the entire time. The studio is super cute, clean, and welcoming, and the artist was incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with (very English-speaking and foreigner-friendly). They gave great suggestions, showed real creativity, and checked in throughout, making the long session feel easy. The work turned out amazing—detailed and exactly what I wanted—and the pricing was very affordable for the quality. Definitely a place I’d go back to.

I recently visited this tattoo studio and couldn’t be happier with the experience. I originally booked with one artist, but she honestly recommended a colleague who she felt would execute my design even better. After seeing the final result, I can completely agree – it turned out perfect! I also appreciated that there was no pressure to get additional tattoos, even though I had considered another one. The focus was clearly on quality and customer satisfaction. Everyone was super friendly and professional. I felt comfortable the entire time and would definitely come back. Highly recommend!

We were warmly welcomed at the entrance and taken upstairs to the studio. First, we decided together on the size and position of the tattoos. There were two of us, and we each got two tattoos. We had to go to the airport afterward, so the team made a great effort to finish on time. The tattoos turned out perfect, and we highly recommend the studio!
