Walk-ins are welcome depending on artist availability on the day. We recommend calling ahead to check availability and secure your spot. Walk-ins usually work best for smaller pieces that don’t require extensive design, planning or consultation. For last-minute availability, keep an eye on our Instagram Story for daily updates.

Each artist sets their own rates, so pricing varies depending on the artist you choose, as well as tattoo size, design and complexity.

All our artists have a minimum charge of $150-$200, and set their own hourly rates. Larger pieces are generally charged at a full-day rate, typically ranging from $1000-$1300 per session.

Yes, tattooing is safe when performed by experienced, licensed artists in a professional studio that follows strict hygiene and infection control standards. While we take every precaution, no procedure is completely risk-free. While rare, most infections happen when aftercare instructions aren’t followed during the healing process. To help your tattoo heal well and prevent infection or unnecessary irritation, please follow your artist’s aftercare advice and reach out if you have any concerns.

For more Information please see our Aftercare Guide.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous! If you have any concerns about your comfort or privacy, just let your artist know, we’re always happy to help you feel relaxed and at ease. You are also welcome to bring a support person*, blankets, jackets, pasties or anything else that helps you feel at comfortable. While our studio is open-plan, privacy screens are available if you’d like to be shielded from other artists or clients while getting tattooed. The studio interior is also not visible from the street, so passersby cannot see you getting tattooed.

*Please avoid bringing a large group with you to your appointment or any minors including infants- unfortunately the studio space cannot accommodate this and it can be distracting to the artists and other clients and may impact their work.

Generally, the use of numbing cream is fine. However, please check with your artist before using any numbing products, as suitability and effectiveness can depend on your tattoo, placement and your artist’s tattooing technique.

Please be aware that numbing products can affect how the skin responds to tattooing and may contribute to issues such as ink spreading, ink loss or uneven healing. If these issues arise as a result of numbing cream use, your artist will not be responsible for providing complimentary touch-ups or corrective work.

Most numbing creams need to be applied and covered in advance to take effect. Please do not arrive with numbing cream already applied without your artist’s approval. If you arrive needing additional time for the cream to take effect, your artist may charge for this time.

Please note: We recommend only using numbing products purchased from a reputable Australian pharmacy, following advice from a pharmacist or medical professional. In Queensland, tattoo artists cannot sell, supply or apply scheduled numbing products unless appropriately authorised.

Please see our Tattoo Preparation Guide & feel free to reach out to your artist or the studio if you have any questions about your upcoming tattoo session.

The studio has its own private carpark, plus there’s free street parking nearby. Our studio is located across from the Narangba Station and Major Bus Stop.

Yes. All of our artists are free to accept or decline bookings at their own discretion. This may include designs, styles or placements they’re not comfortable tattooing or feel they may not be able to produce their best work on.

Common placements some artists may choose not to tattoo include faces, necks/throats, scalps, hands, fingers and thumbs, genitals and other highly sensitive or difficult-to-heal areas.

Artists may also decline designs they feel won’t tattoo or hold up well over time, aren’t achievable as requested (such as very small or overly intricate AI-generated designs) or pieces that are likely to require ongoing touch-ups.

If this happens, we’ll do our best to recommend another artist who may be a better fit, or work with you to find a more suitable design or placement where possible.

Aftercare cream is also available for purchase at the studio if you need it.
