Why we are different
Our works speak about the quality of our tattoo artists.
What definitely sets us apart from the competition is the fact that we always guarantee the quality of the tattoo, as well as a completely unique tattoo design. Your tattoo is a part of you and it's always up to you, that's why we approach every project with the utmost seriousness and understand our work first and foremost as art. Alphen Tattoo studio covers all styles of tattooing - from the simplest to the extremely complex. We also do what very few artists can do and few dare to do, which is cover-up tattoos with great success, to the great satisfaction of our clients. We are best known for realistic tattoo painting projects, dotwork style, color tattoos, color realism, as well as the abstract style of some of our tattoo artists. Because of all this, we cooperate with a large number of clients who do not stop at just one tattoo.
Book NowThe tattoo styles we are known for
Realistic tattoo
A realistic tattoo (realism or photorealism) on your body will look like a photo or a living 3D object. For an artist to reach the level of skill to paint skin with this technique, it takes years of practice and extremely high quality equipment. These tattoos are precise, full of detail, and fairly accurate representations of any motif. They are mainly used to represent faces, animals, mythological motifs, but they are by no means limited to these motifs. Realistic tattoo is mainly reduced to black and gray color in order to achieve a large number of details.

Realistic color tattoo style
Tattoos made using the color realism technique require enormous knowledge and talent of the artist. In addition, they require more time and concentration to make the tattoo almost live on your skin. The best examples of tattoos in this technique seem so realistic that others feel the need to touch it, to make sure that they will feel the skin, and not the texture that the tattoo represents. This technique uses all colors, and extremely talented artists are able to evoke qualities that are not strictly visual, such as humidity, cobwebs, hair density, and many others.

Watercolor tattoo
The watercolor technique of tattooing is a relatively new technique that is becoming more and more popular over time. What worries people the most is whether this kind of tattoo will fade faster, because lighter colors are used than traditional tattooing techniques, which makes the tattoo look like it was literally done in watercolor. The answer is clear, if the tattoo artist makes sure that the tattoo has a good base, it will be very easy to renew it at any time. Also, if quality colors are used, the tattoo will not fade much faster than a darker, traditional tattoo.

Neotraditional tattoo
As the name implies, the neo-traditional tattoo is an evolution of the traditional tattoo. It retains the basic elements of a traditional tattoo such as a pronounced line and very vibrant colors, but is more illustrative than its predecessor. The main difference is that the neo-traditional tattoo has a much wider palette of colors and a wider range of motifs that are depicted. Decorative and exuberant visuals are the main features of this style, as well as the use of natural, floral and zoological motifs.

Dotwork tattoo style
The dotwork style of tattooing uses hundreds and thousands of dots, which are arranged into a larger whole (flowers, fractals, dream catcher). This style allows you to play with negative space, which means that the part of the skin not covered in ink will be part of the tattoo composition. Within this style, black is mostly used, but gray tones are also used, in order to achieve greater or lesser density of the tattoo, giving it a "heavier" or "lighter" appearance. This style is often used for various natural or geometric shapes, as well as in combination with other dotwork background styles.

Cover up tattoo
Cover-up is something that hardly anyone dares to do, even tattoo artists with years of experience. The reason is simple, here you need everything you've ever learned about tattooing, as well as creativity and extraordinary skill, to turn an existing tattoo into a brand new one. An existing tattoo is used as the basis for a new one, and when it's done right, you'll have something completely different than before. So, if you want - you can have a different tattoo over the existing one.

About Us
Alphen Tattoo Studio is here to bring your idea to the surface and paint it on your body. We perceive tattooing as an art (that gets under the skin), and we approach the work professionally and with the utmost seriousness. There are no impossible projects for us.
Our amazing artists
Alphen has a team of talented and highly creative artists whose main goal is not only to please you but also to impress you with unique art that will help you stand out from the crowd.
ART THAT GETS UNDER THE SKIN
When we started tattooing on our own and came up with the idea of opening a unique studio that will bring us all together.
This allowed us to develop creatively, share knowledge and ideas, while all the time consulting and socializing professionally. At any time you will get the maximum quality of service and the best tattoo, because we all think and work on the idea, but the tattoo is painted by the artist who is the most experienced in style and closest to the motif being tattooed.
The experience was amazing start to finish and I can’t wait for my next session!
All our artists have been part of the team since the beginning, long before the official opening of the studio as it is today. Alphen studio changed locations, but the team remained the same, and the enjoyment and professionalism of the work, as well as our skills, only grew over time. Our artists follow all changes and trends concerning the body art world, participate in tattoo conventions, and tour Europe and the world.

I visited Alphen about a month ago to get a tattoo. The salon has a very laid-back atmosphere while also staying very professional. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. James is not just an awesome artist, but a pretty cool guy to hang out with while getting tattooed.
