About

Egypt’s first licensed tattoo studio, run by one hand.

Alia Fadaly is a self-taught tattoo artist with thirteen years in practice. She founded inkshop and works out of a small space in Zamalek, Cairo.

inkshop is small by design. Every piece is drawn for one person and chosen to hold up over time.

The work focuses on three things: fine-line, Arabic calligraphy, and micro-realism. Every piece is custom-drawn for one person, shaped as much by their idea as by Alia’s own visual language.

She is a member of the PEPAX pro team — sponsored for her calligraphy and fine-line work — and holds an international certificate in tattooing. Beyond Cairo, she travels regularly to international conventions.

Bring an idea, a reference, or just a feeling; consults are conversations, not sales calls. There’s a wait, but every booking gets the time it deserves.
