The studio

Ink is a
language.
We speak it.

Saigon Ink opened in 2008 as one of Ho Chi Minh City's first tattoo studios. Nearly two decades on, it is home to twenty artists working across Oriental, blackwork, fine line, geometric and realism — every piece custom, drawn for the body it lives on.

Founder Danis Nguyen is counted among the Top 100 tattoo artists worldwide and is one of sixteen Asian artists featured in The World Atlas of Tattoo. The studio's standard is his: original design, uncompromising hygiene, and work that still looks deliberate in twenty years.
