Sixteen years in. Now all-in on geometry.
Scotty Massa has tattooed for sixteen years in studios around the world. Today he works exclusively on large-scale geometric and ornamental tattoos in Malta, from his studio in Birkirkara — drawn to the precision, the symmetry, and the way the work holds its shape and clarity over decades.
Every piece is a one-to-one collaboration — designed around you, your body and how you want to feel about it for life. No stock designs. You're part of the process from the first sketch.

A project I've wanted to take on for years — and I'm ready to begin with the right person.
The needle is just the tool. The real work is listening — to the skin, to the story, to what someone will carry for the rest of their life.Scotty Massa — Malta, 2026
Reviews
Loved by the people who wear it.
The whole experience from start to finish was amazing. From design, concept to execution, everything was done with care and a level of perfectionism.
Scott's work is phenomenal. He put me at ease from start to finish. I love my finished piece and would definitely recommend him to anyone and will be coming back myself also. Top work from a genuinely lovely guy.
Got in touch with Scotty for a spontaneous tattoo after seeing his great work online, ended up going in two days in a row and getting a few pieces done. Great guy, great shop, and amazing work. Will be heading back next time we're in Malta.
Had a great time getting tattooed by Scotty. Really professional in his work, an amazing artist and humble guy too. He makes you feel welcome. The studio is kept spotless and hygiene is prioritised by all the tattoo artists.
An amazing artist — great help for choosing and drawing. I recommend Scott. Plus he's a cool guy to talk to while he's tattooing you. Thanks for everything and for my amazing tattoo 😉 Amazing results!
Scotty is a great, easy-going guy as well as a fantastic artist. Scott completed my full sleeve over a period of 11 months and started the other arm before I was diagnosed with cancer. Throughout my treatment he kept in touch and has remained a friend ever since.
