Buku Tattoo Studio

I got my first tattoo done by Anya and it was an amazing experience. She has the most welcoming energy and truly puts her heart into every piece. She stayed an extra hour past closing just to finish my tattoo for me. Anya also has the best vision for tattoos and helped me design and create the perfect piece, gives the best ideas and suggestions. If you’re looking for an organic, realism, and minimal color tattoo, Anya is the woman you need to see!!!!

I received a tattoo from Anya, and she is absolutely incredible! She was very kind and open to all my ideas, and she created a beautiful piece. I am also very petite so artists tend to show hesitance on a lot of placement ideas, but Anya was very flexible and made it work! The shop and the other artists all have a good vibe as well. I will definitely be returning for more work in the future.

If you are looking for local shop that has incredible artists with a great vibe in the heart of St. Pete. Buku should be the first place you check out. Their artists collectively have some of the best work I’ve seen in the area and the owner really seems to create a cohesive and chill environment for his artists which no doubt contributes to the stunning artwork they produce! There were multiple artists that had work similar to what I wanted and I feel extremely fortunate to have made it onto Anya’s books because let me tell you, the results were worth the wait!

I received a tattoo from Anya this past week and it was a wonderful experience! Anya is incredibly talented and amazing at what she does. She made the entire process really great and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She is very professional and welcoming. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know that is interested in delicate, floral work! She blew my mind with her design. I will be back for more!!!
I also really liked Buku! The shop is super clean and all the other artists are very friendly. They all make you feel very comfortable.

Me and my sisters were coming down to FL from MA and I happened to find Alivia’s Instagram. The booking process was super easy as she responded so quickly. She worked with me to fit us all in on the same day which happened to be the day we were flying home. She even opened the shop early just to accommodate us and the shop is absolutely stunning. Everyone was so friendly. Alivia made sure everyone was comfortable while being tattooed. She made sure sizing and placement were perfect beforehand. It was honestly such a good experience and of course the tattoos came out AMAZING. 10/10 highly recommend.

Buku Tattoo is such a wonderful place with even more wonderful people. I was a walk-in and I had the pleasure of working Xi here at Buku. I told Xi that I wanted grapes on my arm and they took that and ran with it. They worked with me on deciding on a design and planning out the piece. Once we figured out the design, Xi went to work. Not only is Xi super talented and efficient, Xi is kind, funny, and light-hearted. The other artists working at Buku were also welcoming, funny, and relaxed. The atmosphere and people at Buku Tattoo Studio are top tier in their industry and as people. Highly recommend. Thanks Xi!

I had my tattoo done by Anya last week, and I cannot WAIT to come back and get more work done. She is sweet, talented, professional, and makes you feel so comfortable. I sent her several inspiration pictures, we narrowed it down to a few, and the big reveal was so exciting. It was so infectious seeing her excited about her own work! You want to get your tattoo done by someone who is pumped about it, it makes such a huge difference, and Anya brings such joy to her work.

Overall, the process took about as long as she quoted me for. Healing so far has been a breeze, which I greatly credit to her lighter touch. I can't tell you how many people have complimented her work. I am so happy every day I wake up and look down at my tattoo. I'll be back!

I love this shop! Ray is an incredible human with a brilliant mind. He worked some magic and tattooed the coolest flower on my neck.
Ray also drew and tattooed my favorite tattoo, my back piece. It’s immaculate.

I’ve gotten tattooed by Anya years ago before I moved to New York, so when I moved back to Florida I knew I wanted to get some more done by her! She is so sweet and has such a great vision for a good tattoo - let alone her talent is unmatched. The shop also has great vibes and is not intimidating at all like most tattoo shops are. I couldn’t recommend Anya enough - I will forever go back to her for my future pieces!

First, this shop is a VIBE!! The energy here is so wonderful and Anya is an amazing artist. I went in with an idea of what I wanted, but I gave her full artistic freedom and she exceeded my expectations! I will DEFINITELY be getting more work done by her! See Anya for all of your fine line tattoo needs! She is beyond amazing!
