The Tattooist

The Tattooist is a tattoo and piercing studio located in Tilburg, run by owner Brigitte van Gestel alongside tattoo artist, piercer, and stretcher Bart. The studio was founded by Frank van Gestel, whose portfolio of work remains part of the studio's legacy. Beyond tattooing, the shop also offers piercing services and chip implantation, giving clients a broader range of body modification options under one roof.

Appointments can be arranged by phone, email, WhatsApp, or through social media, though walk-ins are welcome during opening hours. The studio operates under GGD hygiene guidelines, with its permit displayed on site. Numbing cream is recommended for clients wanting reduced discomfort during a session, with guidance available on use and strength. Aftercare is taken seriously: tattoos done in-house can be touched up free of charge within a year if needed. With a small, dedicated team and a personal, walk-in-friendly approach, the studio serves as an accessible spot in Tilburg for tattoos, piercings, and chip implants alike.
