Map of the city
Valencia, neighbourhood by neighbourhood
Valencia is a walkable city. From the Barrio del Carmen to Benimaclet is twenty minutes by bike along the bed of the Turia, and five of the ten studios in this guide sit on that route.
Ciutat Vella
El Carme, El Mercat and the Plaza Redonda. The densest concentration of studios in the city, and the two oldest of them all.

Outside the city
If you live in one of the towns around the city, these studios are closer to you than the centre of Valencia. Even so, from almost any of them you can be in the north of the city in under half an hour by Cercanías or metro.

If you are staying in Ciutat Vella you have three of the top 10 studios within a kilometre: Tatuarte next to the Torres de Serranos, Manitatuz beside the Plaza Redonda and Drac Tattoo on Guillem de Castro. That said, they are small places with tight diaries: if you want to get tattooed the same day, or you are after a particular style without depending on one specific artist being free, it is worth crossing north to Calipso — fifteen minutes by tram to Tossal del Rei, and thirteen tattoo artists waiting.
