PICK THE HAND THAT FITS THE IDEA
Made by hand.
Chosen for life.
A tattoo can begin with a finished idea, a half-legible sketch or a story you have never managed to put into words. Bring us what you have. At Argus, the first decision is not how quickly we can put it on skin. It is who should draw it.
Small or sprawling, black or bright, flash or fully custom, the work should still feel right when the novelty has worn off.

New name. New neighbourhood.
Same steady hand.
Argus grew from Sticky Stef Tattoo, the shop that began its story at Lange Koepoortstraat 40 in Antwerp’s old centre. The door now opens on Diksmuidelaan in Berchem. The room changed. The principles did not: original drawing, sound advice and tattoos built to last.
