Established in 1993, Metal Machine is Cape Town's oldest tattoo studio and prides itself on being one of the best! As a "commercial / custom" studio our artists are as comfortable and capable of tattooing the smallest kanji on a foot to a full body-fitted phoenix... stencilled or freehand. To say our artists "specialize" in any one style would limit the creativity with which they approach their work.... and your unique tattoo experience. Metal Machine's artists have traveled abroad to expand their experience and refine their skills and technical abilities. Tattooing since 1991, Derek is an award-winning artist, winning recognition at various international tattoo conventions across Europe.

Tattoo Studio

Professional tattoo studio specializing in hand poke and machine art.

Now available in Cape Town and Johannesburg.

Kak Lucky Tattoos at 43 Kloof St, Gardens, Cape Town is the new home for artist Gareth Doye and crew. Same vibe, same people, different home. We have 3 dedicated artists and one apprentice, with styles ranging from the traditional handpoke tattoos all the way through to solid geometric, fine black and gray and colorful Japanese. So have a look through our artist's portfolios and come in and have a chat. Kak Lucky Tattoos is about professional, clean and solid tattooing and ethics. When you walk into a tattoo studio you don't want to be or feel intimidated or nervous, and that's why you can come chill out in our lounge area, have a coffee and read a comic if you are not getting tattooed, or just enjoy what Kloof Street has to offer.
