Shop Policies

Only individuals aged 18 and above are permitted, and a valid photo ID or passport is required. If necessary, you may bring a companion. However, children are not allowed due to the potential for significant distractions. Additionally, clients under the influence of drugs or alcohol are prohibited from working. These are important policies to ensure a focused and safe environment.

Custom Art

Tattoos can take anywhere from a few minutes to several weeks to design, depending on how complex the request is. After settling on a general idea, body placement, and size, the tattoo artwork and price estimates are prepared and sent out. Once everything is approved, we can start scheduling, whether for the entire tattoo or for multiple sessions to finish it over time in the custom design process.

Shop History

Established in February 2011, Dudes Tattoos has consistently prioritized the crafting of unique, stunning, and significant body art for clients eager to explore custom designs that stretch the limits of their imagination. ​ The journey—from concept to flawless design, and finally, to ink on skin—culminates in complete satisfaction. Shop history is rooted in a commitment to meaningful works of art.
