Eraqe designed a completely custom piece for me, and he put an incredible amount of thought, care, and artistry into every detail. I came in with ideas and symbolism that were deeply personal, and he transformed them into a design that exceeded anything I could have imagined. His black and grey work is absolutely exce…Google Maps review

I made my appointment through Instagram about a month in advance, and I was genuinely impressed by how quickly the team responded to my inquiry. The booking process was smooth, professional, and hassle-free, making it easy t…Google Maps review
As an 🇺🇲, I'm covered in tattoos but haven't gotten one in almost 6 years. The vibes and the artist skill must be top level. MORSE INK is a whole vibe in itself, the color scheme, the art work, the openness and room set ups and the staff are all like family, who make you feel like you are part of something beautif…Google Maps review
MORSE Ink is a great shop with great people! From the moment I walked in the entire staff was welcoming and hospitable (including the resident shop Cat who immediately jump on my lap to say hi while sitting in the waiting area 😸). Mavie is an AMAZING artist!! Her fine line work and stipple shading on my small sized t…Google Maps review
How do I start. By saying thank you. I’m beyond grateful for Ivan’s work and patience. He was amazing from start to finish. Thank you to Farida who took her time asking me the whole time how I felt, if I was happy with everything and if I needed anything (especially when I started feeling sleepy 😅). And to Ali, the vi…Google Maps review

The studio has worked continuously since 2016 and was rebranded as MORSE INK in 2022. That history includes a period when MORSE INK held a presence inside the old Egyptian Museum in Tahrir.
Founder Mohamed Eraqe is a Fine Arts graduate in Sculpture from Cairo University. Form, proportion, and how a design sits on a three-dimensional body are considered before anything is drawn.
A permanent studio in Zamalek, Cairo, working with Cairo residents, expats, and travellers. Egyptian cultural depth, craft, and the experience around the session are treated as one piece of work.

Your timing
The honest answer depends on the piece, the artist, the session length, and the dates you can make available.
Some focused pieces may fit one session. Share the idea, placement, approximate size, and dates you have available so we can review what is realistic without rushing the work or promising a session in advance.
Larger areas and multi-part projects may need more than one session. We will be clear about what fits your timing rather than compressing the process.
If you are traveling, include your arrival, departure, and flexibility. Travel dates help us review the fit but do not guarantee studio availability.
Zamalek, Cairo
MORSE INK works from a permanent studio in Zamalek, Cairo. Walk-ins are accepted with conditions, and a booking request remains the more reliable route to a specific artist or date.
Booking
A request lets the studio review your idea, artist fit, dates, and practical details. It does not confirm a session.
A booking is confirmed once a deposit of 20–30% of the agreed investment is received — a verbal or written agreement on price does not confirm a session. The deposit is deducted in full from your final price. Once design, planning, or consultation time has been invested in your piece, the deposit becomes non-refundable, reflecting the time and creative work already given to your project.
The process
Tell us the meaning, placement, references, and timing you are considering.
The studio reviews the project, artist fit, practical details, travel context, and readiness.
If the request is suitable, the next conversation clarifies direction, scope, artist, timing, and investment before anything is scheduled.
The session follows the studio process, and you leave with aftercare guidance specific to the placement and work carried out.
Travel-aware aftercare
Swimming, sun exposure, flights, and Cairo heat can affect healing. Share your plans so placement and timing can be reviewed with your itinerary. Your artist explains aftercare in person and provides written guidance specific to your placement and the work carried out.
Before you request
We will review the idea, artist fit, timing, travel context, and practical requirements before suggesting the next step.
