Certified Tattoo Studios

Certified Tattoo Studios is the highest-rated tattoo company in the world. With 5 flagship studios and 19 years of consistent growth, we’ve redefined what a tattoo experience should be, for both artists and clients. What started as one small shop led by founder Nando Mondragon has grown into a full ecosystem that combines top-tier artistry, unforgettable client service, and the tools needed to scale. Every studio runs on our proprietary Painless Booking software and is powered by a trained support team that removes friction for both clients and tattooers. We’ve helped thousands of clients a month get tattoos they love and built real careers for artists through systems, leadership, and culture. This isn’t a chain of lookalike shops, it’s a REAL movement built with love, precision, and a relentless vision for the future. Certified is now home to the Certified Tattoo Academy and Painless Booking, our software and training platform that helps artists around the world succeed with clarity, confidence, and tools that actually work.
