⏰🎄 Christmas is 12 days away and counting and we all know what that means... it's last minute Christmas gifts time!! Don't forget - we do Gift Vouchers of any amount and we can send a hard copy out to you free of charge with registered postage. If you are too nervy that it won't come in time then we can also organise an e-gift voucher. Either way we got you this Chrissy 👊
P.S AusPost estimates that it will take 2-4 business days to receive a registered post letter if you live in VIC. This lands us at 20th Dec cut off to purchase a hard copy voucher - in saying that, we can't guarantee that it will arrive in this time frame so, the sooner the better!!! ...

Did you know?¿ : Design
We’ve had a few enquiries about designs lately; Can I get it drawn up before I book in? Can I have this exact tattoo?

We cannot copy exact designs but we can definitely use images as reference to create your own piece personalised to yourself. Our goal is to create custom pieces for every client and make designs most suitable for every body type!

When you book in for a tattoo and leave a deposit, your artist will then start designing your tattoo. We cannot start designing anything until a deposit has been made.

And as always, if you ever have any questions regarding your tattoo feel free to DM us or give us a call and we would be happy to help out! ...
