Artist Notes
Champ’s Client 5-star Reviews
- AtheWill : Amazing experience getting tattooed by Champ! This was my first time at this studio, and I couldn’t have asked for a better artist. Communication was easy and clear throughout the whole process, which made me feel completely comfortable, especially since this was a cover-up of an old tattoo. Champ did an incredible job transforming it into a beautiful Hokusai wave design — the result exceeded my expectations. The studio itself is spotless, spacious, and clearly very popular (lots of clients coming through, which says a lot about the quality of work). Highly recommend Champ if you’re looking for someone skilled, professional, and easy to talk to. 10/10, will definitely come back for more ink!
- Andela (translated from German) : Great work by Champ. It was a cover-up and the tattoo turned out fantastic. I can recommend him to anyone who values quality, hygiene, and friendliness. The appointment and consultation were excellent. We’ll be back next year.
- Robert Dobb : I was so lucky to have Champ as my artist. From the beginning, he fully embraced my vision and always contributed his own ideas, resulting in a truly magnificent work of art. I felt incredibly comfortable during the three days; every single member of staff was incredibly kind, and I will definitely be back! A huge thank you again to Champ—what an amazing guy! You can really feel his passion for his work.

Book Jay + Champ Together | Two Artists, One Vision
For larger tattoos, time matters.
Long sessions over multiple days can be exhausting, especially for clients travelling to Bangkok on a schedule. That is why many serious clients choose to book Jay and Champ together for the same project.
As brothers, they have a natural working rhythm that cannot be taught. Communication is instant, movements are coordinated, and both artists understand how each other thinks creatively. This creates a smoother, faster, and more efficient tattooing experience compared with two unrelated artists working together.
Faster completion time
Large-scale projects such as:
- full sleeves
- leg sleeves
- full backs
- chest panels
- multi-area work
can often be completed significantly faster when two artists work at the same time.
That means fewer sessions, less time in the studio, and faster results.
Better flow and symmetry
Because Jay and Champ know each other so well, they work seamlessly across the body. This is especially valuable for symmetrical work, wrap-around concepts, and large connected compositions where balance matters.Premium option for serious clients
This is a high-level booking option for clients who value efficiency, comfort, and results. Instead of dragging a major project out over many sessions, you can make real progress quickly with two coordinated artists focused on one goal.Ideal for travelling clients
