Opio Studio Tattoo®

Opio Studio Tattoo has been operating in Medellín since 1998, with two locations in the Laureles and Poblado neighborhoods. The studio is open Monday through Saturday from 10:30am to 7:00pm, with Sundays and holidays available by appointment only. Its team includes tattoo artists Paul Moncayo, Lorenzo Delgado, Kai Zen, and Fray Granado, each maintaining individual portfolios so clients can match their design with the artist best suited to it. Beyond tattooing, the studio also offers body piercing services performed with attention to safety in every procedure.

The artists at this Medellín studio work across a wide range of styles, including oriental and Japanese-inspired tattoos, Trash Polka, and Hannya designs, often blending contrasting techniques within a single multi-session piece. The team also has notable experience in blackout work and cover-ups, using dense black ink as a foundation to build new designs with depth and contrast rather than treating it as a limitation. Recent projects shared by the studio include multi-session collaborations that fuse delicate detail with bold, high-contrast shading. With decades of continuous work in Medellín, Opio Studio Tattoo positions itself around the idea of making tattooing a genuine extension of the client's own skin.
