Tattoos by Mactattooer

We are Tattoos by Mactattooer, a tattoo studio led by Mike, a Scottish tattoo artist based in Malta. Mike has been working in the tattoo industry for over five years and is located at Positive Vibrations Tattoo studio in San Gwann. Originally from the north east of Scotland, he draws creative inspiration from pictish carvings, folk art, mythology, traditional tattooing, geometry and high contrast graphic art. His background in art and deep personal interests in motorcycles, music and dogs shape the unique aesthetic of our work. At Tattoos by Mactattooer, we focus on originality and craftsmanship in every piece we create. Tattoos by Mactattooer offers dotwork, blackwork, traditional and OldSchool tattoos, as well as geometric designs. We also create custom tattoos based on your ideas or photo references. Tattoo flash designs are hand-drawn originals, with each design intended to be used only once. A tattoo flash is a pre-drawn design ready to apply, often chosen for its bold style and immediate appeal. Custom tattoos involve a collaborative process where we translate your vision into a personal piece of art. Geometric tattoos use precise lines and shapes to form intricate patterns, while blackwork relies on solid black ink to create strong visual impact. We work by first inviting clients to reach out via email or social media with their availability and tattoo ideas. From there, we arrange a consultation to discuss design options, placement and size. If you choose a flash design, we review availability and suitability. For custom work, we develop sketches based on your input. Once the design is approved, we schedule the tattoo session. All work is done in person at our studio in San Gwann. Our style suits clients who appreciate offbeat, surreal and original artwork. Many of our clients return for new pieces, drawn to the uniqueness of our flash designs and the personal touch in custom work. At Tattoos by Mactattooer, we value individuality and artistic integrity, ensuring each tattoo feels personal and meaningful. We constantly create new flash designs and refine our techniques. Every tattoo at Tattoos by Mactattooer is approached as a one-of-a-kind piece. We believe in professional service, a welcoming atmosphere and making sure you leave satisfied with your experience. Mike’s gentle nature helps put clients at ease during the process. You can view our portfolio and get in touch to book a consultation.
