Behind Puerto Ink
Puerto Ink began as a dream in 2016, brought to life by two brothers, Vangelis and Michalis, from Heraklion, Crete. At just 19 and 21 years old, they embarked on this journey with nothing but their passion for art, dedication, and a belief in their abilities.
Starting as a small project in their hometown, the brothers poured their hearts into building what has now become one of the most renowned tattoo and piercing studios in the country. Their commitment to excellence and innovation led to the opening of Puerto Ink's first studio in Heraklion, which quickly gained recognition for its artistry and professionalism.
Six years later, they decided to take a bold step by expanding internationally. Their second studio in Antwerp, Belgium, marked the beginning of their global journey. Venturing into a completely new market, Vangelis and Michalis didn’t just create another studio—they established the largest tattoo and piercing studio in the city, earning a reputation as leaders in the industry.
Today, Puerto Ink employs over 35 talented individuals across multiple locations, with studios in Amsterdam and new projects on the horizon, including one in Athens. What started as a small 100-square-meter space has grown into an international brand.
Vangelis and Michalis credit their success to hard work, a supportive team, and the trust of their loyal clients. Their vision is clear: to make Puerto Ink the largest tattoo and piercing project in the world, continually growing and evolving with each new challenge.
