5 Melbourne Tattoo Studios For Ink Lovers

Tattoos may only be skin deep, but a carefully considered and immaculately executed design can resonate a lot deeper. If you’re thinking about getting inked up, then the first step after deciding on the piece is to research a studio in your area and artists that specialise in the style you’re seeking. Thankfully, here in Melbourne, there are plenty of parlours to choose from and a medley of artists that specialise in a variety of styles. Here are five Melbourne tattoo studios for ink lovers.

The Black Mark

Home to a motley crew of exceptionally talented artists including Mick Squires, Ben Laukis, Kitty Dearest, Fabz, Crispy Lennox, Ben Thomas and Hoko Sciascia, The Black Mark is the place to go if you’re looking for unbelievably lifelike portraiture and images that will leap off your skin. The studio is filled with antique curiosities, haunting artwork and includes a green chesterfield lounge, antique desks, a giant X to mark the spot and a ships wheel in the ceiling void. Strictly by appointment only, The Black Mark has no phone number, and their location is a secret to all but their clients – all that’s known is that Northcote marks the spot.
