The room

A gallery that tattoos

Green walls, gold frames, and art the museum would not hang: a tattooed Mona Lisa, a Medusa with her mouth boxed out, Anubis in gold. One chair, one artist, nobody waiting behind you.

Tate, the studio dog, greets everyone. He is in more Google reviews than I am.

The artist

Javi Khoury

I started tattooing in Beirut and moved the studio to Dubai. Fine line and black and grey realism are what I do most, and cover-ups are the work I am proudest of: taking a tattoo someone hides and turning it into the one they show.

Every session is one on one. I draw the design with you, not for you, and I do not book walk-ins.

Collection

What I do

Censored Ink

Custom work only, drawn once, never repeated

  • Custom ink

    Fine line, realism, script, geometric. Your idea, drawn for you.

  • Cover-ups

    I design around what is there instead of blacking it out.

  • Fine line

    Single needle work that still reads in ten years.

  • Piercing

    Ear stacks, nose, lip, brow. Titanium and gold jewelry.

  • Laser removal

    Consultation first, then a plan across sessions.
