Another week has flown by in studio and boy oh boy do we LOVE our clients. This week on the blog we wanted to talk about the process of getting tattoo and the different ways you can book in.
Let’s talk about custom tattoos…
All of our artists love to work closely with their clients to create tattoos that incorporate what the client wants, in their signature style. This can be from one hit bangers to large scale on-going work that takes multiple sessions to finish.

The first step in this process is to do your research! Think subject matter and style. The beauty of modern day tattooing is the endless options of styles available without having to travel far. We have experienced experts across all styles including Maori Ta Moko, Traditional Japanese, Fine line, Western traditional, Blackwork, dot work and geometric work. Have a browse through our artist profiles to get a better idea of what our artists offer. Its really good to do your research so you know what you like.
The next step is to get in touch! We recommend clients sending through a brief description including size, placement and style they are after to our email, as well as any reference images they have. From here, we can book you in for a free consultation to come in and chat more in depth in person with the artist about what you’re after. This is a good time to ask any questions you have. Our artists are professionals and always happy to help.
After your consultation, we can book you in and then the waiting game begins.
Flash Tatts…
Back in the day, there wasn’t much choice when it came to getting tattooed. You walked in to the shop, picked from a book, or several hundred paintings hanging on the walls and that was it. The beauty of flash tattoos.
Several of our artists have ready-to-go flash hanging on the walls of our studio (or in our instagram highlights) that make the decision making process a whole lot easier. It also makes it easier if you know you want to get tattooed but unsure of what to get.
To book these in, either come in, pick it off the wall and we can find a time that suits you (or get it on the spot if the artist has time), or email us with a screenshot of something you’ve seen from our instagram profile and book in. Super fun and easy!
The wall is constantly getting updated so don’t be a stranger, pop by and check it out.
And finally, those after something Sweet and Simple?
We know that sometimes you just want something little and we are able to help! A permanent reminder of a special memory or the ‘i’ve always wanted a tattoo but just something little’ type of tattoos are always fun, plus they don’t take long so usually we can find time on the day, or during the same week to book you in.
Whatever your tattoo needs are, we are here to help. Give us an call, email or come in and book your next tattoo in.
