Outstanding result and unforgettable memories at Saigon Ink If you are looking for an extraordinary tattooing experience in Vietnam, look no further than Saigon Ink. Getting inked here wasn't just a session in a chair, it was an absolute highlight of my trip and one of my greatest memories from the entire journey. The Vibe and the Crew: The studio environment and the whole crew are simply on another level. From the moment I walked in, they made me feel completely at home. I had the incredible fortune of being there during their 18th-anniversary celebration, which meant I got to meet members across all three of their studios. The energy, camaraderie, and welcoming spirit of the entire team made the day so much fun. The Creative Process with Dank: I had the pleasure of working with Dank, an extraordinary artist whose creativity, originality, and intuition are second to none. Day One (Consultation): We met the day before to discuss the concept, size, and vision. After chatting and exploring a few options, I decided to give him full freedom to be as creative as he wanted. With incredible speed and talent, he translated the idea into a stunning free-hand sketch that we instantly agreed on. We had great chemistry from the start and understood each other immediately. Day Two (The Session): When I walked into the studio the next morning, Dank was already set up and refining the final design. We kicked off an intensive, 11-hour one-day session (spanning free-hand drawing, feedback, and execution) over morning coffee and great conversation before getting the ball rolling. The Final Result: Dank has a rare gift for listening to a customer's request and transforming it into a masterpiece in no time. The final piece of work speaks entirely for itself (see attached photos) it is, without a doubt, the best tattoo I have ever gotten. Environment + overall experience + final result = Perfection. Thank you, Dank, and thank you to the whole Saigon Ink family. I cannot recommend you enough!

Dank at Saigon Ink is amazing!!! When we walked in for a simple quote, they were quite busy but everyone was friendly and still made an effort to greet us the new clients. While we waited for the receptionist who was busy with another client, one of the tattoo artists approached us and wanted to make sure if we needed some water and if he could help with anything while we wait. I explained that I wanted a quote for a band tattoo on my forearm and I gave him a general idea. He listened patiently and was extremely professional and gave a quote. He had a great sense of humor and I immediately decided that I would like for him to be the artist I wanted to do the tattoo. After a few more minutes, my appointment was booked for the very next day. That was the best decision ever. The next day Dank was just awesome he went about chatting and putting me at ease and then we started talking about the reason behind my tattoo and my other tattoos and he asked if I would trust him because he had an idea to make my tattoo unique. I went with it and I am not disappointed. The man is an artist. The tattoo is perfect! I highly recommend Dank and Saigon Ink, the Thao Dien branch. The whole place and the vibe is just awesome. I will most definitely be back to get more tattoos, specifically from Dank. I am adding to this because I have gotten my second tattoo from Dank. This man is special. He is a genius. I wanted him to use an illustration made by my artist wife as the basis for a chest and shoulder tattoo. And Dank delivered above and beyond what I imagined. The result is perfect, a wonderful blend of the elements from my wife's illustration and Dank's unique style. You cannot go wrong by going to Dank.

I recently had the pleasure of being tattooed by Dank. He collaborated with me on a design I drew. I wanted the new design to flow and exist alongside another tattoo that I already had. I also wanted Dank to add a bit of his own style and artistry into the design, and I am really so happy with how it came out. Dank is an artist and a master at his craft. He knows how to listen to what you want, and to add and adapt where needed so that it will flow well with the natural curves of your body. Everyone at the studio are wonderful and do their best to create a fun vibe🥰 I highly recommend Dank and Saigon Ink! I will absolutely be back in the future😍

I am very satisfied with my tattoo experience at Saigon Ink with Travis. From consultation to completion, Travis was enthusiastic, patient, and extremely meticulous. I received thorough advice about the placement and size, and my opinions were always considered to ensure the tattoo was exactly as I wanted. Throughout the process, Travis was gentle, careful, and made me feel comfortable. The final result was even better than I expected. All my friends complimented it. The studio is clean, professional, and everyone is friendly. If you're looking for a dedicated and skilled tattoo artist, I highly recommend Travis at Saigon Ink. Thank you so much, Travis and Saigon Ink!

Dank (upper arm) and Julie (forearm) took my tattoo virginity and, in return, gave me a freehand masterpiece, created collaboratively. Awesome people, incredibly professional. Phenomenal work. They understood the assignment and absolutely cooked.

I came here for some tattoo touch-ups, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The artist was incredibly friendly, professional, and took the time to make sure everything was perfect. He paid great attention to detail and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. The touch-ups turned out even better than I expected, and it’s clear that he genuinely cares about his work and his clients. The studio is clean, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere is great. If you’re looking for a talented and trustworthy tattoo artist, this is definitely the best place in town. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back for my future tattoos!

I just got an awesome Japanese piece done by Jetlee, and I could not be happier.He took my initial idea, completely redesigned it, and made it look a million times better than I had originally planned. His vision, attention to detail, and artistry are next-level.I feel truly blessed to have his work on my skin. If you are looking for top-tier ink, Jetlee is the artist to see. Highly recommended

This place is so awesome!!! The vibes are so great and the artists are so friendly! It’s a very clean environment and all of the artists take such good care of their clients. While I was getting tattooed, I had the opportunity to chat with multiple of the artists and I loved all of them! Shout out to the incredibly talented Julie for such an amazing tattoo. Such a perfect way to remember my backpacking trip :)

I had an incredible experience at Saigon Ink with Jetlee (Ig: @jetleesaigonink). I came in needing a cover-up and decided to give him total creative freedom to surprise me and oh man, did he deliver! This Neo-Japanese piece is beyond anything I expected. The detail in the wolf and Hannya mask is just insane, and the way he blended the deep blacks with that delicate whip-shading is pure art. It fits my shoulder perfectly and looks so natural. The shop has such a clean, professional vibe, too. If you want world-class work and a smooth process, Jetlee is your guy. 5 stars, no question!

Without doubt the best studio in Saigon. Came here in February for my first tattoo and just had to come back. My Artist and now friend Dank ist truly a remarkable person and one of a kind artist. I always felt so at ease coming here. The studio is clean, the other artists are friendly and there is always a good vibe going on in the studio.

Dank is a painter! He is incredible, thank you so much bro. I walked into the shop with an idea and badly made chat gpt image trying to give a visual representation of my bad idea. Dank asked my why this piece was important too me, and as I shared the personal reasons he sketched out on my arm something far beyond/superior to any vision I had previously, capturing the importance of it to me perfectly. Looking at this sketch on my arm I knew instantly in my gut that this was the artist for me. I put my trust in him to freehand the peice, he told me he had never made a mistake ;) and he 100% didnt make one on me. We hung our while he created this peice of beauty, he's a really cool guy m that puts you at ease and was happy to spend hours at a time hanging out. Every time I saw a bit of progress in the mirror it was a beautiful surprise. I cant find the words to do this man justice, trust your gut and give him freedom. I will be back to let him finish the rest of my arm by giving him a subject/sorry and letting him work his magic.

First off, I want to say that Saigon Ink is clean, professional, attentive, and has an incredibly comfortable vibe. I walked in after booking an appointment and I was welcomed in like I was apart of the family. For such incredible work, you really can't beat their prices. Dank was my tattoo artist and to say he did an amazing job is an understatement. He took the idea that I had and elevated it beyond anything I was expecting. He was patient, attentive to the needs that I had, and for over 10 hours kept me laughing through the whole session. Dank takes such pride in his work and you can clearly see the creative juices flowing when he's in the zone. I entered this establishment a blank canvas and walked out with a one of a kind piece of art. Alongside Dank, the rest of the staff was very fun to interact with. You can tell that there is a lot of love under this one roof and being a part of that was an experience in of itself. Whether you are a local or a foreigner, Saigon Ink is without a doubt the best place to come to for any kind of tattoo that you can imagine. Every artist has their specialty and they are all talented beyond belief. I cannot wait to come back and not only get another tattoo, but be back in a place I can call a home away from home. If you're doubting where you want your next tattoo from, let this be your sign that Saigon Ink is the place to go!

I had a great experience with Dank at Saigon Ink Thao Dien. From the moment I arrived, his professionalism really stood out. He took the time to listen carefully to my ideas and made sure he fully understood the design I had in mind before starting. His communication was clear and thoughtful, which made the whole process feel comfortable and collaborative. What impressed me most was his creativity. Dank didn’t just copy the idea I brought in, he elevated it. He suggested small adjustments that improved the overall flow and detail of the design, and his artistic eye really showed in the final result. You can tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about creating something unique for each client. He was also very flexible throughout the process. Whether it was adjusting the design, making sure the placement was just right, or taking time to ensure I was comfortable, he handled everything with patience and professionalism. His calm manner made the experience relaxed and enjoyable. Overall, Dank is not only a talented tattoo artist but also someone who treats his clients with respect and care. If you’re looking for an artist who combines creativity, flexibility, and true professionalism, I highly recommend him.

Experience from start to finish was unreal. All of the team are lovely and professional. Dank was such a pleasure to work with and genuinely cared about the outcome of the tattoo, helping to make it the best it could be from the initial idea to the final result and was so generous with his time and services.

My girlfriend and I had Dank as tattoo artists. We asked quite spontaneously and received an answer and an appointment super quickly, although it was New Year’s Eve here and most of it was closed. He took a lot of time for us and provided very good advice. I can recommend everyone to go there.

Just got some work done at Saigon Ink and I couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. Julie absolutely nailed the fine line piece. Her line work is insanely clean, delicate, and precise — exactly the kind of detail that shows real skill. The design came out elegant and balanced, and she was super patient and thoughtful throughout the whole process. On top of that, I also got a large front chest piece done by Dank, and wow — the design, placement, and execution were next level. Bold, powerful, and perfectly fitted to my body. He really knows how to work with anatomy and turn a concept into something that hits hard visually. The studio itself is clean, professional, and welcoming, and the whole team makes you feel comfortable from start to finish. If you’re looking for fine line precision and strong, statement pieces, Saigon Ink is the place. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be back for more work. 🔥🖤

Saigon ink sets the standard for tattoo shops in Vietnam. From the quality of the work, to the artists, down to the culture. I was blown away. What started as a full sleeve idea turned into a 3 year long project that eventually become a full sleeve and half chest piece. The staff is extremely detail oriented and professional. Based on my idea I was suggested Dank as my artist due to his extensive experience with blackwork. That was the best thing that could’ve happened for me. Communication is important when trying to explain your idea for a tattoo. I was extremely relieved when I learned Dank was fluent in English. He understood what I was looking for in my piece. He was extremely patient and gave feedback in how I can improve the piece and bring my idea to life, without ever being pushy and always made sure the final decision was mine. Dank has always remained communicative, honest and truly understands how much a project can mean to a client. At Saigon ink it never really felt just like an artist / customer relationship. It felt like you worked as a team and both made the end result possible. Highly recommend Saigon ink and Dank.

Got my work done by Dank. Amazing guy that works best if you give him an idea and some guidelines but let him have his freedom. During the process I could really see that he got into his flow. He told me “I don’t tattoo, I paint. And layer by layer he made my idea reality. He always made sure I was doing alright (this was my first tattoo). I really recommend coming to this place. Yes, it might be a bit more pricey than other spots in Saigon however you really get the quality you pay for.

I walked in without an appointment and was immediately greeted by the team here. I had a few questions about my design and Dank was patient, taking the time to explain all the details of the tattoo design, sizing, and all the other questions that I had. After deciding what I wanted, they gave a me a very reasonable price, and started work immediately! I was getting my tattoo from Tony within an hour of walking in the door. Tony did an incredible job! He had a very light touch with great accuracy and felt virtually no pain. This place is clean, professional, welcoming, and comfortable. I HIGHLY recommend getting your tattoo here while you are in the area.

Amazing studio that I recommend to anyone with an idea or project. It's a renowned studio with a very talented and professional team. I met Toni for my tattoo, and it was the best thing I could have had for this tattoo! I came to a studio in HCMC to discuss an idea, and we found two flash designs Toni had already done. He redesigned and combined the two drawings into one according to my wishes and colors in very little time. After spending two days with him, I quickly realized he is a wonderful person and very, very talented with a unique style! I was lucky and will remember this experience for life! Thanks to Saigon Ink! Especially thanks to Toni, your art is magnificent! 🙌
