Squid Gallery Tattoo Shop & Hostel

Squid Gallery Tattoo Shop & Hostel is a creative sanctuary where tattooing and travel culture intertwine naturally. The studio offers a welcoming, artistically charged atmosphere where skilled artists bring bold visions to life — expect blackwork and illustrative styles alongside vibrant traditional work and fluid watercolor pieces that feel right at home in a coastal, sun-soaked setting. Clients can anticipate a thoughtful, personalized experience from artists who take their craft seriously, whether you're committing to a large statement piece or something more intimate.

Santa Marta sits where the Sierra Nevada mountains meet the Caribbean Sea, drawing an endlessly curious mix of backpackers, surfers, Colombian travelers, and digital nomads passing through on their way to Tayrona or the Lost City. That restless, open-spirited energy shapes the studio deeply — the clientele is international, adventurous, and often marking a meaningful journey with ink. Getting tattooed here carries a distinct sense of place, a souvenir that no market stall could ever provide.
