WHY SKN DESIGN?
What Sets Us Apart
What It Means For You
Master Artists Only – Each resident artist has 5 – 15 years of elite studio experience and an award‑winning portfolio in micro‑realism, portrait & fine‑line work.
Every stroke is intention‑driven; every finished piece is unmistakably world‑class.
Medical‑Grade Hygiene – Single‑use cartridges, autoclave‑sterilised instruments, and hospital‑grade surface protocols.
Absolute peace of mind about safety and after‑healing.
Premium Inks & Needles – Vegan, EU‑certified pigments with best‑in‑class saturation and fade resistance.
Your colours stay richer, blacks stay blacker, and fine lines remain razor‑crisp for decades.
Luxury Studio Environment – Private suites, ergonomic chairs, curated playlists, and award‑winning coffee‑bar service.
A calm, pampered experience that feels more like a boutique spa than a tattoo shop.
Full Design Included – Collaborative sketching & mock‑up session (worth R2 500) built into your booking fee.
Show up with an idea and leave with a custom, one‑of‑a‑kind design—no hidden extras.

OUR WORK SPEAKS
PRICING
When we found ourselves with clients asking us to fix up other artists' work, we decided to never again compete on price.
We make it our mission to create pieces that last a lifetime. By only using the highest quality equipment and needles for crisp pieces that last, coupled with the techniques implemented by our highly skilled artists, we guarantee unmatched quality.
So if you're shopping around for the best price, or to find an artist who can do a 'quick piece', we are not the studio for you. Getting your piece done at SKN design will cost you a little more today, so that we get your piece done right the first time. That way, you don't have to fix your piece up 2 years down the line, spending more than if you had just done it by the best in the first place.
Our ongoing commitment to creating the highest quality art that our clients will own for a lifetime means we are not the cheap option, and we're not afraid to say so!

ANSWERING THE BIG QUESTIONS
“Is it worth the price?”
Quality ink + elite craftsmanship = fewer touch‑ups, flawless ageing, and art you’ll still love in 30 years.
“Does it hurt?”
Numbing options available; ergonomic beds reduce strain. Most clients binge a Netflix season mid‑session.
“How long is the wait?”
New studio, zero backlog—bookings available within 2–4 weeks for large pieces.
