This welcoming studio offers a wide range of tattoo styles, specializing in fine line, cover-ups, and large-scale custom pieces, all delivered with exceptional artistry and care in a friendly, professional environment.
Chops Papillon moved from New York to Sayulita with his family in August 2015 and opened Papillon Family Tattoo Studios later that year. With over 32 years of professional tattooing experience, Chops has worked and traveled around the world, earning a reputation for his vibrant use of color, intricate detail, and exceptional professionalism. His dedication to creating solid, meaningful designs is matched only by his deep commitment to both his family and his craft.
