Stay Gold's 4.9-star rating from 153 reviews isn't novelty-it's the result of eleven years doing the same thing competently. Realism and tribal are a curious pairing, but that range speaks to artists who can handle both hyperdetail and structural boldness. Walk-ins welcome, which means low friction if you're spontaneous. Skip this studio if you're chasing cutting-edge experimental work; pick it if you want solid, proven execution from people who've earned their reputation through time, not hype.
About the studio
Stay Gold Tattoo has been operating in Mexico City since 2013, establishing itself as a dependable fixture in the city's tattoo landscape. The studio welcomes walk-in clients alongside appointment bookings, making it accessible whether you've planned ahead or are looking for spontaneous work. This flexibility, combined with over a decade of operation, suggests a confident, organised crew.
The studio specialises in realism and tribal work-two distinct visual languages that demand different technical approaches. Realism requires precision in shading, proportion, and detail to capture photographic likeness; tribal demands clean lines, bold geometry, and understanding of cultural or personal symbolism. That Stay Gold pursues both suggests versatile artists who've invested time mastering fundamentally different craft skills.
First-time clients should expect a straightforward consultation process typical of professional studios in Mexico City. Walk-ins are possible, though booking ahead for complex or larger pieces will secure your preferred artist and time slot. The studio's 4.9-star rating across 153 reviews indicates consistent execution and customer satisfaction-a meaningful signal of reliability in a city with no shortage of tattoo options.
Within Mexico City's wider tattoo scene, Stay Gold represents the professional middle ground: experienced, accessible, and technically sound without the premium price tag or months-long waiting list of celebrity-tier studios.

Marcel did a fantastic job. I loved the work and would totally get another tattoo here if I’m ever back in CDMX.

I got my very first tattoo here. Auda (one of the owners) welcomed us as walk-ins and was amazing from start to finish. She was kind, patient, and friendly. If you’re looking for a great place in Mexico City to get a tattoo, Stay Gold is a fantastic spot!

I had a wonderful experience at Stay Gold Tattoo. My partner and I got matching tattooes and are so happy with how they turned out. The experience was relaxing, enjoyable, very clean, and the studio has a very inviting and warm vibe. The whole experience was very fun and pleasant. We got our tattooes with Auda (one of the owners) and she was amazing! Highly highly recommend this spot if your looking for a great tattoo shop in Mexico City!

I booked an appointment with Marcell and it was such a great experience. His design went beyond expectations and there was no issues with communication. While I was there, I met a lot of other tourists (like myself) who found Stay Gold online and wanted to get inked there too -- likely because the atmosphere was welcoming and the tattoo artists made us feel comfortable. Highly recommend if you are local or just passing through CDMX for a nice experience!

Was able to get a quick one in as a walk in by Marcell. Super cool dude. Laid back, professional. More importantly, he did a killer job. I got 5 words that my mom wrote me on my forearm and his linework was killer, no blow outs, precise. Check this place out for sure.
