Costa Rican Cafe & Tattoo Studio

If you ever been to Costa Rica you will know "Pura Vida" is the Costa Rican motto. It translates into "Pure Life". Costa Ricans (Ticos) use this term to say hello, to say goodbye, to say everything’s great, to say everything’s cool. However, it is not the words that reflect the true meaning of ¡Pura Vida!. Pura Vida is the way Ticos live. Not surprisingly, Costa Rica has been named one of the happiest countries in the world, mostly because its inhabitants don’t stress about things the way most foreigners do. Ticos have a very relaxed, simple way of looking at life. No worries, no fuss, no stress—pura vida to them means being thankful for what they have and not dwelling on the negative.
Wether you want to come in to get inked or just for a coffee, our aim is for you to feel the Pura Vida vibe the moment you enter our stablishment. And leave with that relaxing feeling we all need.
