Monkeys Factory Tattoo & Art is a tattoo and piercing studio located in central Paris at 214 Rue Saint‑Denis, in the lively 2nd arrondissement. Founded in 2023 by Vahid and Phu Phi, the studio aims to be more than just a shop—it's a dynamic space for artistic creation, cultural exchange, and personal expression.

The journey began when Vahid, steeped in hip-hop and punk cultures, joined forces with Phu Phi, a former computer engineer inspired by her travels across Asia. Together, they envisioned a place where urban art, tattooing, and Eastern and Western influences converge. Known for its modern, welcoming atmosphere, Monkeys Factory offers a creative sanctuary where each client is listened to, guided, and given a truly tailored tattoo experience.

The studio specializes in fine‑line tattoos, semi‑realism, custom lettering, cover-ups and touch‑ups—including scar tattoos. Their multilingual team emphasizes collaboration, drawing bespoke designs that reflect each individual’s story and aesthetic.

Key artists include:

Phu Phi, co‑founder, renowned for delicate portrait‑tattoos and storytelling through fine graphics.

Soleval, versatile in fine‑line and semi‑realism with a strong focus on personal narratives.

Gripe (Tony Gripart), with a background in graffiti, combines blackwork with nostalgic 80s–90s visuals and stark graphic lines.

Arnaud, a self‑taught artist specializing in minimalistic fine‑line and semi‑realistic themes.

They also host Flash Tattoo Days, where walk-in clients can choose from limited designs starting around €100. The studio frequently welcomes guest artists from abroad for special collaborations.

Their clientele ranges from first-timers seeking a gentle entry into the tattoo world, to art collectors wanting personalized, high-quality pieces, and people seeking scar coverage tattoos. The studio merges artistic culture, technical excellence, and a supportive vibe.

Bookings can be made online or directly with individual artists; cancellation up to 24 h before is refunded, while cancellations within 48 h or once work has begun are non-refundable. Easily reachable by metro, it's nestled in a vibrant neighborhood near Réaumur‑Séba stop.
