CZYŃ
Miła 15A, Poznan ( Ogrody )
CZYŃ studio opened its doors in 2022 and is located in Ogrody, at 15a Miła Street. It was founded by Dorota Kuczyńska a.k.a. @dorotakuczynska_tt whose goal was to create a space where customers could feel really comfortable and safe in a studio of hygiene and sterility. Girl power really is the theme here. Due to her early success, the crew has grown and you will now find five unique tattoo artists whose personalities seem to be in tune with each other, which translates into a really pleasant atmosphere in the studio.
Oliwia a.k.a @sznubcio, is the youngest and works in the climate of anime, tribals, and its various variations. The master of hand poke is Ola a.k.a. @ola.dot.tattoo , and minimalist, charming tattoos are definitely her thing. A characteristic character created by Ola is the Poznań “pyrka” (it is a diminutive of the word “pyra”, which in the Poznań dialect means potato) with various attributes, which quickly won the hearts of customers. A thin line, delicate floral motifs and all others are Sveta‘s domain a.k.a.@tattoobyssvet. Clients, especially female clients, love her aesthetics and we are not surprised at all. Their current trainee Elwira a.k.a @baba.lesna) creates beautiful linear works, often reminiscent of engravings. She is inspired primarily by nature, tradition, and folklore. Dorota (@dorotakuczynska_tt) loves abstract art above all. Especially combined with floristic motifs, but willingly creates combinations with all other graphic and realistic motifs. Send them an email at dorota.kuczynska@vp.pl to book your appointment and initial consultation.

The studio is located in Lazarz, close to Kasprowicz Park, and inside it’s very cozy and you feel at home there.

Mintlemon
Garbary 65/1, Poznan (City Center)
Studio Mintlemon opened its doors 3 years ago in Poznan’s Old Town amongst a place full of charming streets and interesting monuments. After graduating from the University of Fine Arts in the Faculty of Painting, Graphics, and Sculpture, together with Olga (@nowyproject), Sławek a.k.a (@mintlemontattoo) created the Mintlemon studio and a space for their creative work.

Tattoo 61
Os.Zygmunta Starego 14, Poznan (Piatkowo)
Tattoo 61 has been around since 2019 and is very popular among the locals. It’s very hard to get an appointment as owner Bartek works on his own focusing primarily on realism but not only. Back in the day when he returned to Poland from Belgium, he worked together with his friend Marcin at Beznazwy Tattoo studio. Lukasz from Ry23 Tattoo and Michal from Tasty Tattoo also supported Bartek in the early days while he learned his craft and gave him the motivation to keep improving. Today he is well established in the tattoo community and even though he is located a few km outside the city center, his calendar is constantly full. If realism is your thing then definitely give him a call on 535 831 543. You might get lucky!
Druga Strona Tattoo
Jeżycka 21 lok.3, Poznan (Jezyce)
Druga Strona Tattoo is the brainchild of David (Get Ink By Dawid), a tattoo artist, musician and sportsman, David has an artistic soul and many interesting passions. He might look intimidating but we can assure you he is a really great guy and will put you at ease. In the studio, you can expect an extraordinary approach to tattoos. This is what distinguishes them from other studios. David’s partner Marcela is there to take photo portraits of people, animals, etc on site for David to transfer them onto the skin. How cool is that! David is particularly good and fond of realism, portraits, grays, abstractions, sketch, color and others. He is also known for creating some cool covers. The small studio gives you the VIP effect!
Propaganada Tattoo & Piercing
Głogowska 141, Poznan (Lazarz)
The crew currently consists of seven people ready to fulfill even the most difficult tasks. You will find almost any style here including realistic, cartoon, old school, new school, neotraditional, sketchy, dotwork, whip shading and many more. The studio also offers laser tattoo removal and piercing. All designs are made individually based on the client’s suggestions although they stress that they absolutely do not copy designs and tattoos that have already been made. Expect three comfortable rooms, a large space, full of artistic souls and friendly service at Propaganda. No car? Don’t worry. The studio is right opposite a tram stop at Głogowska 141. Located a few kilometers from the old town, it’s definitely worth the 10 mins to get there. And while there, you can even read a book published by one of the owners about how to properly care for a tattoo!
Buszi Ink.
Promienista 1, Poznań (Stary Grunwald)
Apart from the high-level tattoos, the atmosphere at Buszi Ink is one of our favorites. The owner Jarek aka Buszi might look intimidating but he is one of the friendliest artists we have met. Located a few kilometers outside the city center, it would be easy for you to not have heard of Buszi ink but now you have and we cannot recommend the studio highly enough. If realism and portraits are your thing then Buszi Ink has to be top of your list. 100% worth the extra trip to get there!
