  1. Khin Thae Phyu Win ★★★★★

    5/5 Stars: Incredible Bamboo Tattoo Experience in Otley! After seeing reviews, In April 2025 I booked a session with Ajarn Keng via WhatsApp—quick and seamless. The Bamboo Rooms in Otley transports you to Thailand: serene, spotless, and radiating positive energy. Keng took my concept for a strength symbol, created a custom sketch on the spot, and hand-tapped the tattoo in under an hour. The bamboo technique was painless —just a meditative rhythm. The blessing ceremony afterward brought an unexpected spiritual depth. My tattoo healed perfectly in days and looks phenomenal. Lauren’s friendly email communication made planning a breeze. If you’re near Leeds, skip ordinary studios—this is where you’ll find enduring, meaningful art. I’ll be back soon! #BambooTattoo #SakYant

    Keng's style is so unique, his artistry and the level of detail he manages to produce is amazing. I initially went in to discuss a small cover up and was pretty vague with the tree design I wanted. Keng hand drew the design idea leaving it open to evolve as he worked on it. I was very happy and confident in his ability to leave him to create a unique piece and was blown away when he'd finished. The amount of detail and depth the tattoo has is amazing! I would recommend anyone thinking of getting their next or first tattoo to visit Keng at Bamboo Rooms, I'm already planning my next visit.

    I had an incredible experience at The Bamboo Room Tattoo with Keng as my artist. I went in for a bamboo (handpoke) tattoo, and I’m beyond impressed with how everything turned out. The level of detail in my sleeve is absolutely amazing — every line is crisp, and the shading gives it such depth and character. It’s a true work of art. From start to finish, the customer service was outstanding. Keng was professional, patient, and really took the time to understand my vision. The whole environment was clean, calm, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. If you’re considering a handpoke tattoo or just want something truly unique and masterfully done, I can’t recommend The Bamboo Room Tattoo enough. This was hands down one of the best tattoo experiences I’ve had.

    Met Keng at the tattoo freeze convention in Telford. We’d already had contact over designs etc and communication was great. Keng has been tattooing this way for 35 years and everything has come out so neat and smart, a true skill mastered over time. I would highly recommend visiting the bamboo rooms if you would like a friendly professional service and awesome designs. Dave

  2. Mark Alexander ★★★★★

    My wife and I have had 2 tattoos each from Keng and his work is absolutely incredible. The level of skill required to produce what he produces is hard to comprehend. The communication and booking process with Lauren is also first class. Can't recommend The Bamboo Rooms highly enough, I'll probably be back there before long.

  3. Ben Leyland ★★★★★

    I had a bamboo tattoo a number of years ago when I was in Thailand and have wanted more ever since so its great that I've found Keng who is clearly a master of his trade. Me and my wife are both really happy with our tattoos and I'll be looking to book in again soon.

    I have known Keng and Lauren for many years now and have always had a great experience, (as have the many friends that I have referred to them). The tattooing speaks for itself, as it is of the highest quality, authentic with unique and bespoke designing for every client. I have visited their UK shop and also the one in Thailand and I would highly recommend the Bamboo Rooms experience to anyone, whether you are new to the artform, or if you already have some ink.
