Kala Tattoo Studio

Loved my tattoo! Great experience and Laura is so skilled with a light hand. I have 10 tattoos and she was among the gentlest to work on me. Great rates especially for how skilled she is. From idea to tattooed she made the entire process easy and enjoyable.

Kala is soo talented, and did such an amazing job!! I would highly recommend if you’re in Puerto Viejo and looking for a good tattoo artist:)

Can’t say enough about Laura! Super friendly professional talented artist! She has a soft delicate hand and so much passion! If we are ever in this area again, we will def come back! Pura Vida! 🤙🏼

Kala is a fiiine artist, great techniques! She put so much respect into recreating a very important design for me. Great line work. Highly recommend!

I went to get a tattoo with Laura and I felt very comfortable right away. She listened to all of my ideas but also showed her own opinion and expertise with I loved. I got a beautiful tattoo, very good price and lovely tattoo artist. What more could I ask for 💘

laura at kala’s tattoo shop was amazing!! any time I’m in Costa Rica I’ll be coming back to this shop! Everyone was so sweet

Super great experience! First tattoo in a different country and it couldn't have gone better. We walked in and sent in what we wanted. Was asked to come back an hour later and Laura got our tattoos done quick and they look better than we could've expected!

I lack the words to adequately express my admiration for the people at this Studio. They took me in, even when they were very busy, and gave me the best service with the best smiles. My tattoo work is amazing, yet as it is my calf. I can't get an adequate picture to show the work. Afterwards, when most artists, are like get out of my store, its closed. They took the time to spend with me, and make me feel like a person, and not like a number or just some dumb tourist. If you are are in Puerto Viejo, or anywhere near there and you are thinking of getting ink. Get your a-ss to this store. Mic Drop...

Honestly my best experience with a tattoo artist so far. Laura was so creative, kind, patient and great to work with, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. Beautiful artist, I’d recommend her to anyone and hope to come back again soon.

I had this tattoo done by Kala in May 2023. We discussed my idea of an incomplete signature stamp from Chinese paintings and she made it a reality with ease. It was so quick and painless that I fell asleep. I look forward to having many more pieces of her artwork on me!

Kala is wonderful! Such a lovely person and talented artist. She was able to squeeze me in with no appointment. She does amazing fine line work and is very light handed.

I absolutely love my tattoo! Kala is an amazing and detailed artist! I definitely recommend her and Laura for your tattoo needs while in Costa Rica!

Unfortunately Kala wasn't able to do my tattoo but she was very kind and responsive. She was able to set me up an appointment with Laura. Laura was soo cute & sweet!! She made sure everything was perfect and I was comfortable before and after my tattoo! The shop was clean. Laura was neat and knowledgeable. Will def be back to get more ink by her. Pura Vida<3

Kala is an awesome artist. I'll be visiting her again next year. Definitely a great experience!

Great Experience! Kala is very talented. I had a design and she worked with me to perfect it. She was very professional and she did a great job! She does clean lines so if you have intricate work she’s the one for you. I came to Costa Rica knowing that I was gonna get a tattoo from her, she kindly fit me into her schedule.

Schedule your appointment via WhatsApp to reserve a time/day. She is very responsive!

we went for grouptattoo and some individual ones. we spent 5 hours and she was fantastic at explaining evrything and placing the stencels how we wanted. i'm gonna visit her again to get some more tattoos

Excellent experience. Squeezed us in last minute and stayed late to do a great tattoo! Highly recommend!

I wanted a reminder of my time in Costa Rica... the tattoo turned out really nice and I'm super happy!

The staff responded even on whatsapp after hours they helped 4 of us find appointment times and were so great the work was amazing and I can’t wait to have more work done 10/10 and will always recommend to my traveling friends

So pleased with the design, studio was beautiful and clean, amazing first tattoo experience - thank you! X
