After a long time roaming around Asia, I finally settle for a while...
I've been travelling in Thailand, Laos, China, the UK, Belgium and more... Here and there, I worked in a few studios and met many tattoo artists... When I came to Cambodia, I met Carlo and Daniel in Siem Reap. The two Aussie guys from Perth are the owners of the X Rooftop Bar, and we got along really well right away. Their place is an interesting mix of things and I felt right at home there in five minutes. The bar is nestled on the top of a building block overlooking the whole city, and offers loud rock music, regular DJ sets, jam sessions every Wednesday, free pool tables, table football, WIFI, and even a massive rooftop half pipe - the very first and only one in Cambodia! After a chat, we discovered we had many similar ideas and projects. Not long after, the Angkor Tattoo Shop in Siem Reap was born...
Today is Tuesday, April the 20th. The works have just begun to set up the shop. It's going to be built almost from scratch... It's gonna be such a challenge, but in two or three weeks, the one and only tattoo shop in Siem Reap to be run by a westerner will open. Feel free to enjoy in the "shop" page the site evolving from ground zero to the fantastic finished shop.
In store - an atmospheric, welcoming and spotless space to get good ink, interacting with the X Bar in a very unique way. The shop, nestled in the bar itself, incorporates a cinemascope window so you can enjoy watching the tattooing work in progress whilst sipping your drinks. And after each tattoo, get yourself an ice cold beer, on the house...
