About Us
RĪGAS TINTE.
Since 2010.
It all started with friendship, music and traditional tattooing. From our first studio in Old Riga we have grown into a team of artists with different styles. Today you'll find us in a courtyard on Barona iela, where ideas become drawings and drawings become tattoos.
How Rīgas Tinte began
2009
An idea after a concert
The studio's roots go back to late 2009, when two old friends, Edgars and Jānis, inspired by music, art and alternative subcultures, decided to join forces and create the first tattoo studio in Latvia to focus mainly on American traditional style tattooing.
2010
We open our doors in Riga’s Old Town
On 8 August 2010 Rīgas Tinte opened its doors at Jāņa iela 14 in Old Riga.
2015
We move to Barona Street
Over the years the studio grew in both skill and numbers, so on 14 February 2015 it moved to its current premises at Krišjāņa Barona iela 45/47.
With 110 m² of space and new team members, Rīgas Tinte has become the studio we know today: a creative space for people who love tattoo art.
The people behind the tattoos
Each artist brings their own interests, experience and approach to tattooing.
