YOUR IDEA DOES NOT NEED TO BE FINISHED
Bring the spark.
We will build from there.
An idea can arrive as a subject, a mood, an awkward sketch or the reference you keep returning to. That is enough to start. The artists at Argus will help define what works, what needs room and whose expertise can take it furthest.
Different styles do not split the shop into corners. They give every idea more than one experienced pair of eyes before it finds the right hands.

FROM STICKY STEF TO ARGUS
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.
