Cleanliness, professionalism, and kindness are the first things you notice when you enter her studio. Then you discover she's an extraordinary artist who can transform into a tattoo what you can barely explain to your mind. Truly an extraordinary experience and an amazing value. Thanks again for everything ❤️.

Sumina @ Suminu Tattoo was so amazing, it was my very first tattoo and she was so kind with her time making sure every detail was perfect to my liking and even incorporated elements of my own drawing ideas into my tattoo and made it look beyond amazing. I am so happy with the result and I think I'll be coming back on my next visit! Thank you so much ❤️

Loved getting my first tattoo from Sumina last week. She is so talented and created the perfect piece based on some inspiration artwork. Her presence and studio were so peaceful and inviting. Sumina’s advice on aftercare was very detailed, and the tattoo is beautiful and healing great. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get something done.

Sumina has now completed 3 tattoos with me that have in essence been a single evolving project. It is now complete. She is an amazing artist in her own right and does amazing fine line work. She worked with me closely so I could bring my ideas to life. She is an award winning tattoo artist and such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone serious about the art they carry with them. My experience has been amazing. Thanks Sumina

A hidden gem in Kathmandu!
Tucked away in a small back alley, on the fourth floor of a blue building, you’ll find Suminu’s small and cozy studio. It has a wonderful atmosphere that instantly makes you feel welcome.
A lot of that comes from Suminu herself. She is warm, captivating, and incredibly easy to talk to — you immediately find yourself chatting about everything and sharing Momos.
When it comes to professionalism, Suminu is top-notch. You can truly feel the pride she takes in her work. She takes her time, adjusts every detail of the tattoo, and only finishes when she feels it’s perfect. Her artwork is absolutely amazing!
I’ve honestly never felt so comfortable and at peace in a studio before. What a privilege it is to get a tattoo from Suminu - Thank you.
