Hellhound Tattoo Studio

Hellhound Tattoo Studio is on Blaauwberg Road in Table View, Cape Town. Reviewers describe it as a hidden gem with a calm, peaceful feel, and most of the recent praise goes to artist Tyrone, often called Ty, for careful, detailed work and for putting nervous clients at ease.

What reviewers liked

• Tyrone's care with clients: Micke, back for a second tattoo, says he explains everything clearly and makes sure you are comfortable, and recommends him especially for first tattoos.
• Detail and precision: Micke and Shamia both single out his meticulous work, and Shamia says both of her tattoos with him felt painless.
• A warm welcome: Ell, on a first visit, says the team made her group feel at home, with the session running smoothly to loud, good music.
• The setting: Giulio describes the studio as tucked away in a garden off the main road, close enough to catch the sea breeze.

Good to know before you book

Repeat visits are common; Micke and Shamia both came back to Tyrone for a second piece and say they would not go elsewhere. Older reviews mention other businesses sharing the site: Giulio describes a gift shop at the entrance selling crystals and unusual gifts, and Riaan mentions a shop selling cannabis-related products. These comments are a few years old, so do not count on either still being there. None of the reviewers raise complaints, and several were first-timers who say they felt comfortable throughout.
