Why Riders Studios Stands Out
‍
Unmatched Customization

Every tattoo is a collaboration. Riders Studios artists work closely with clients from consultation to final design, making sure each piece is shaped by personal stories, references, and individual styles. Whether it’s a delicate single-line tattoo or a dramatic sleeve, the result is always unique and deeply meaningful.

Renowned Talent and Mentorship

Led by TattooTwon, the studio boasts a team skilled in a wide range of styles, from realistic portraiture and Chicano art to mythological pieces. TattooTwon’s dedication to mentoring young artists has contributed to a lasting shift in the region’s tattoo culture, elevating technical standards and fostering new creative voices.

International Recognition

Riders Studios is the first Middle Eastern studio to gain membership in the Sullen Art Collective. The client base is global, drawing visitors from all over the world to Cairo and Amman. The studio’s emphasis on international-quality practices and aftercare has established Riders as a reliable bridge between regional and global tattoo artistry.

A Cultural Revolution

Far beyond technique, Riders Studios has reshaped how tattoos are perceived in Egypt and Jordan. Through workshops, guest artist residencies, and community events, the studio has helped move tattoos from social taboo to celebrated art form, encouraging personal expression and cultural pride across both countries.

Client Stories

"Amazing experience with Twon! The wife and I wanted to squeeze in a quick flash tattoo before we left Egypt, and Twon delivered. We were so pleased with our tats. Highly recommend Riders Studios for your travel tattoo if you're in the Cairo area. Thanks, brotha!"

"The experience was amazing. Truly a professional with great work ethics, experience, and seriousness. Came from France to have my tattoo done and would definitely do it again."

The Riders Studios Difference

More than just a tattoo shop, Riders Studios is a movement spearheading artistic and cultural transformation in the Middle East. With an uncompromising commitment to quality, creative collaboration, and welcoming inclusivity, the studio has made a lasting impact. Every client’s ink is not just a design, but part of an evolving story of innovation and cultural pride that continues to shape the tattoo landscape of Egypt, Jordan, and beyond.
