What clients say

Filed as they came in, four and five star both, from tattoo consultations, sessions and piercing appointments alike.

  • “Isaac spent a good twenty minutes just talking about placement before he even sketched anything. The botanical piece on my forearm is exactly what I wanted, healed cleanly too.”

    Chloe M., Fitzroy · Small custom tattoo · July 2026

  • “Three sessions for my half sleeve, spaced a month apart. Isaac talked me through what would and would not age well before we locked in the design, which I appreciated more than I expected to. Worth the wait between sittings.”

    Daniel R., Collingwood · Large and multi-session tattoo · April 2026

  • “Quick, clean, no drama. Theo opened the needle pack right in front of me which I liked seeing.”

    Ruby L., Fitzroy North · Single piercing · August 2026

  • “Great tattoo, really happy with it. Ran about twenty minutes behind on the day which pushed my afternoon around, otherwise no complaints.”

    Marcus P., Abbotsford · Small custom tattoo · November 2025

  • “Theo mapped out my whole ear before we did anything, lobe through to helix, and staged it over two visits like he said he would. It actually looks like one considered set instead of piercings added at random.”

    Ella N., Clifton Hill · Curated ear styling · June 2026

  • “Went in for a consultation not sure what I wanted and left with a proper design a week later. No pressure to book on the spot either.”

    Josh W., Carlton · Custom tattoo design consultation · September 2025

  • “Upgraded my lobes to gold huggies once they had healed. Fifteen minutes, done properly, no upsell.”

    Lily F., Brunswick · Jewellery upgrade · February 2026

  • “Had an old tattoo from years ago I hated. Priya was honest that a straight cover-up would not sit well over the dark ink and suggested fading it first, which was not what I wanted to hear but was clearly the right call. Result now is genuinely good.”

    Noah B., Northcote · Large and multi-session tattoo · March 2026

  • “Piercing itself was quick and well explained. Street parking near the lane was tighter than I expected, would just allow extra time for that.”

    Ivy C., East Melbourne · Single piercing · July 2025

  • “Solid line work, healed with barely any fading. Isaac's aftercare sheet was more detailed than any I have had from other studios.”

    Harrison D., Richmond · Small custom tattoo · December 2025

  • “My ear project took two visits about three months apart, which felt slow at the time but the finished set is worth it.”

    Zoe P., Thornbury · Curated ear styling · May 2025

  • “Four sessions for a full back piece. Isaac and I adjusted the design a bit between sittings as we went, which he was completely open to.”

    Callum S., Carlton North · Large and multi-session tattoo · January 2026

  • “Nose piercing done properly, no gun in sight. Healed faster than my last one from somewhere else.”

    Aisha T., Brunswick East · Single piercing · August 2026

  • “Turned up to flash day not really planning to get anything and left with a small fern piece on my ankle. Good spontaneous option if you do not want the full custom process.”

    Sam K., Fitzroy · Small custom tattoo · April 2025

  • “Swapped my old jewellery for titanium after Theo pointed out my ear had been slightly irritated by the metal. Should have done it sooner.”

    Ben O., North Melbourne · Jewellery upgrade · July 2026
