Scorpion
Protection turned outward. A sign worn so that harm thinks twice before it comes near.

The work
Worn home from Marrakech.
Every piece here was drawn once, for one person. Drag to turn the wheel.
This is not a souvenir stall. It is a private room on the second floor, a decade of Berber line work, and an artist who stays yours for the whole session.
What we ink
Six ways to carry Morocco.
Berber & AmazighTribal marks, diamonds and baraka symbols, redrawn for your skin.
Arabic calligraphyA word or a name, tailored to the curve it sits on.
Moroccan symbolsKhamsa, desert scenes and architectural ornament.
Geometry & mandalasSacred patterns, dotwork and precise stippling.
Fine line & floraDelicate, high-precision line work and botanicals.
Custom conceptsYour sketch, your story, built into one design.
The old marks
Read them before you wear them.
Six signs from Berber and Moroccan tradition. Pick one to read what it traditionally holds.
Crescent moon
Cycles and time. A feminine sign that keeps watch at night and marks every new beginning.
Build my tattoo around thisKhamsa
The open hand of five. Blessing and defence, painted on doors across Morocco and worn on skin for the same reason.
Build my tattoo around thisSalamander
The survivor. It slips through fire and drought, so it was worn for luck and resilience.
Build my tattoo around thisBull
Strength and stubborn power. The sign of the one who carries the weight and does not move.
Build my tattoo around thisWedding lamp
Union. The light carried into a new home, worn to bless a bond or a new chapter.

How it works
From idea to ink.
Four steps and no guesswork, whether you live here or land on Friday.
- 1
Send your idea
A sketch, a symbol or one sentence on WhatsApp. English or French, whichever is easier.
- 2
We draw it for you
Your artist builds the design around the contours of your body. Nothing is inked until you love it.
- 3
The session
A private room, one client, and single-use needles under medical skin barriers.
- 4
Keep it sharp
You leave with clear aftercare for the trip home, and we stay one message away.
Hygiene
Sterile is not a selling point. It is the minimum.
European and international hygiene practice, applied the same way every session.
Inside the studioSingle-use needles
Disposable, used once, for one client.
Medical skin barriers
Machine, cables and surfaces covered.
Certified inks
Non-toxic inks from known makers.
Rotary machines
Modern, quiet, gentle on the skin.
For travellers
Here for a few days?
Tell us how long you have. This is what fits.
What fits
One small piece. A Berber symbol, a word in Arabic, a single line.
How to plan it
Message us before you land so a slot is held for you. The design is settled on WhatsApp, the session takes one sitting.
What fits
The sweet spot. A small to medium custom piece with time to refine the drawing.
How to plan it
Meet your artist early in the trip, approve the design, get inked on a later day and fly home with a day or two of healing.
What fits
Room for something bigger: an ornamental forearm, a larger piece, or two sittings.
How to plan it
Tell us the placement and the size you imagine. We will space the sessions so the skin can rest between them.
Best tip we can give: get tattooed near the end of your stay. New ink stays out of the pool, the hammam and the direct sun while it heals.
Before you ask
Good questions.
Do you take walk-ins?
No. The salon is strictly by appointment. That is how every session stays private, focused and one-on-one.
Which languages do you speak?
English and French, on WhatsApp and in the chair.
How much does a tattoo cost?
Pricing is accessible and standard for a professional studio. It depends on size, detail and placement, so send your idea for an exact quote.
Can I bring my own design?
Yes. Bring a sketch, a photo or a travel memory. Your artist will rework it so it sits well on the body.
Is it safe to get tattooed in Marrakech?
Here it is. Single-use needles, medical skin barriers and certified non-toxic inks, every time.
Do you pierce as well?
Yes. Clean, needle-based body piercing with biocompatible jewellery.
