Custom tattoo studio
Loi Kroh · Chiang Mai
Every piece is drawn for the body it goes on.
We'll tell you honestly when it should be bigger, smaller, or somewhere else entirely — and the artist draws your piece rather than copying someone else's.

The house
Walk through the house.
A vintage Lanna house on Loi Kroh. Pass through the shared courtyard downstairs, take the stairs, and the mood changes. Upstairs is 9 House — quiet tattoo rooms, framed work, and the artists at work.

Questions we get
Before you
come up
Do I need an appointment?
No. We take booked appointments and walk-ins, and if an artist is free we can often tattoo you the same day. If you have something specific in mind, message us first — it gives us time to draw.
How much does a tattoo cost?
We don't publish prices, because the honest answer depends on the tattoo. Size, placement, colour or black and grey, and how many sittings it needs all change the number. Send us the idea and we'll tell you properly.
Why can't you quote me for a full back?
It's the question we get most, and on its own it isn't answerable. A full back can be fine line or full colour realism, one session or ten. Tell us the subject, whether you want colour, and roughly how much of the back — then we can talk numbers.
What should I send with my enquiry?
What you want tattooed, any reference images, a rough size, whether you want colour or black and grey, and — if it's a cover-up — a clear photo of the existing tattoo.
