Tattoo and piercing in Hong Kong, read from the country level

Hong Kong's tattoo and piercing listings are one city deep, so this page is mostly a doorway. The category covers more than 60 listed venues across Hong Kong, and the detailed browsing, district by district, happens on the Hong Kong page.

What the country-level numbers say is worth knowing before you click through. 57 listed venues carry ratings, the average is 4.8, and 49 sit at 4.5 or above. Hong Kong studios tend to pair small client books with high scores, and the most reviewed of them, Tattoo on the road in Mong Kok, holds a 5.0 rating over 314 reviews.

The addresses tell you something about how the trade operates here. Almost none of the top-rated studios are street-level shops. Bench Tattoo works from a second floor on Yun Ping Road in Causeway Bay, Central Tattoo from the sixth floor of a Cochrane Street commercial house, and KONG TATTOO from a 14th-floor unit in a Kwun Tong industrial building. Expect to ride a lift, and expect studios that rely on referrals and portfolios rather than passing foot traffic. Wan Chai holds three of the six most reviewed rooms, which makes it a sensible first area to compare.

Piercing sits in the same category as tattooing on Glow360, and adjacent services have their own listings if your plans lean that way: Nose Piercing for a smaller commitment, or Henna Tattoos as a temporary run at a design before it becomes permanent. For studio owners on the other side of the counter, Glow360 offers a free online booking system alongside a partner network of over 50,000 businesses.
