Etther Museum Tattoo

Eleven artists and a free consultation

Eleven specialist tattoo artists and more than twenty years of combined experience, behind an idea their name sums up: tattoos with the soul of a museum. The consultation is free and comes with no obligation.

The studio

Etther Museum Tattoo sits on Passatge de Ventura Feliu, a quiet street in Arrancapins a step from Gran Via, in Extramurs. The name is no accident: the place is conceived as a workshop with gallery ambitions, hence the line they use themselves, tattoos with the soul of a museum.

What surprises on walking in is the size of the team relative to how discreet the premises are: eleven tattooists and more than twenty years of craft accumulated between them, covering registers a long way apart: blackwork, engraving, realism, linework, traditional and color. The engraving work, that old woodcut texture rendered with a needle, is among the best you will see in Valencia.

Two things about how they work are worth knowing. The first is the free, no-obligation consultation: you can walk in, put the idea on the table, look through portfolios and leave without booking a thing. The second is that a single artist takes each session from start to finish, rather than splitting the work between different hands, something large studios do not always honor.

With a clean 5.0 on Google the score is perfect; what is still modest is the volume, 99 reviews against the thousands of the number one in this guide. This is a studio on the way up, not a veteran consolidated in reviews.

Two practical warnings before you go: they close on Mondays and Sundays, and from Tuesday to Friday they open afternoons only, 2pm to 8pm, though Saturdays they do run a full day from 11am. And they do not do piercing or laser removal: here it is tattooing and nothing else.
