Absolutely - custom work is what we do best. Every piece is designed one-on-one with you, whether you're bringing a clear reference or just a rough idea. Book a free consultation and we'll talk through concept, placement and sizing, then our artist draws up a custom design before your session.
Yes. Black & grey is our signature style - fine-line detail, smooth shading and realistic depth. We also take on colour and other styles, but if you're after dark, detailed work with a premium finish, you're in the right place. Check our portfolio to see the range.
There are a few easy ways to reach us: send an enquiry straight through the form on this website, book a consultation online, or give us a call. We're open 24/7 by appointment, so we can usually find a time that suits you. Walk-ins are welcome when an artist is free, but booking ahead guarantees your spot and gives us time to prep your design.
Hygiene is non-negotiable. We use single-use, sterile needles for every client, hospital-grade sterilisation on all equipment, and fresh gloves and setups per session. Our studio is fully licensed and follows NSW Health tattooing standards, so you can relax knowing you're in safe hands.
