Marta Sá
Traditional · bold line
Learned on coil machines and makes no exceptions: thick lines, solid colour, tattoos you can still read across the street at sixty.
Tattoo studio · Bonfim, Porto · since 2017
Honest linework, single-use needles and zero small talk. We put on skin only what deserves to stay.
The wall
Original house designs, ready to tattoo. Each flash is done once per artist — when it leaves the wall, it leaves for good.
Three chairs, three hands
Traditional · bold line
Learned on coil machines and makes no exceptions: thick lines, solid colour, tattoos you can still read across the street at sixty.
Fine-line · botanical
A former scientific illustrator. Draws plants the way herbaria are made: every leaf in place, every rosemary needle accounted for. Single-needle work, monk-grade patience.
Geometric · blackwork · lettering
Ruler, compass and absolute black. Builds pieces to fit the muscle that will carry them — and handwrites better than any font.
No shortcuts
A studio your mother could walk into without wrinkling her nose. Everything that touches skin is single-use or comes out of the autoclave — and we will show you the log if you ask.
Sealed cartridges, opened in front of you and disposed of in a sharps container at the end of the session.
Class B sterilisation with recorded cycles and a monthly spore test. The logbook lives on the counter.
Only pigments compliant with the European REACH regulation, with traceable batch numbers.
Registered and inspected premises. Liability insurance up to date.
Thirty minutes to talk design, placement and budget. No deposit, no pressure.
We tattoo adults only, with ID. No exceptions — not even with parental consent.
The first step
Tell us the idea. We reply within 48 working hours with an artist, session and price proposal.
After the needle
A tattoo is a beautiful wound. Treat it properly and the line stays with you for decades.
Keep the protective film on for 2 to 4 hours. When removing it, wash with lukewarm water and neutral soap, pat dry with paper towel — no rubbing — and let it breathe. No homemade bandages.
