Make it permanent.
A meaningful tattoo before your flight home — a Greek island symbol, a matching piece, a small fine-line memory. We design around your idea and your travel dates.
Vitruvius is an independent tattoo and piercing studio in the centre of Kos, a short walk from Kos port. We work with locals and visitors from across Europe in fine line, blackwork, realism, ornamental, minimal and cover-up tattoos, in a sterile, calm space built around a single idea: a tattoo should be drawn for your body — not pulled from a flash sheet. If you are visiting Kos for a few days, we plan consultation, design, session and aftercare around your travel dates, with honest advice about the sun and the sea.
- Easy booking via WhatsApp
- Walk-ins depending on availability
- Fast consultations
- Clear English communication
- Detailed aftercare for sun & sea
- Professional hygiene throughout
