About
Traditional Thai bamboo tattoo studio owned by the World Record Breaking, multi award winning Ajarn Keng, a Thai - Uk bamboo tattoo master with studios in Koh Phangan, Samui and the UK. Whilst machine tattoos involve the gun piercing and then tearing through the skin as the artist moves the gun, bamboo tattoos are delicately tapped into the skin by hand using super fine needles. This means there is a significant reduction in pain and bleeding and therefore no scabbing, resulting in a very quick healing process – usually around two days. Furthermore as there is no blood to push the color out of the skin, the ink settles deeply and no color is lost; there is no need for any touch ups at a later date. Bamboo tattoos maintain their color extremely well, staying bright and strong. There is absolutely no problem going into the sun or sea straight away following a bamboo tattoo. Another major benefit with bamboo tattooing is that it is 90% LESS painful than machine tattoos.

My recent visit to The Bamboo Rooms for a Traditional Thai bamboo tattoo was truly exceptional. From the warm welcome to the skilled craftsmanship, every aspect of the experience exceeded expectations. The use of bamboo added authenticity, and the artist created a masterpiece reflecting Thai culture. The parlor's cleanliness and attention to detail, combined with insightful explanations of the tattoo's cultural significance, made for a memorable and comfortable experience. I highly recommend Them for anyone seeking an authentic Traditional Thai tattoo experience. Thanks to the team for an unforgettable visit!

Great service from start to finish. We had some couple designs which they quickly created some templates with, they were able to book us both in within the same day. Some of our tattoos were very small requiring steady line work, all came out perfect.

Just had a new tattoo and it was my first bamboo tattoo. I was very impressed with how gentle the technique is and how it already has healed.
