Best Tattoo Shops In Melbourne

“Myself, my sister and my niece were on vacation and looking for a nice place to get a tattoo. Space Mermaid came up and we knew - this is the place! Space - love it. Mermaids - love them. We're in! We called to make sure they had availability for walk-ins and Spoony answered the phone and was awesome from the start to end with the small matching waves my sister and I got. Def recommend this place!!!!

Specialties: Since my niece wanted something anime-themed she was sent to the specialist there and he was incredible. This was her second tattoo and she was nervous and started feeling sick shortly after they started. Zac stopped and made her comfortable and helped without making her feel bad.

Cleanliness: The shop was welcoming and clean.“

“Nico was absolutely amazing! He is so talented and kind. He did a memorial tattoo of my dog Tyson. It is beautiful tattoo, and on my way home I cried like a baby. I feel like Tyson is on my arm. I couldn’t dreamed of a better tattoo. I can’t recommend Nico enough!“

“Michaela is so amazing!! Conversation is so easy when she's working on you, and her work is phenomenal!!“

“I’ve been looking for a new tattoo artist and found him today! Talk about an amazing experience. He was so kind and easy to talk to. Made me feel at home. Took my idea and ran with it and blew it out of the park. Amazing work and just what I wanted. Love you my groot man!“

“The piercer here, Paula, is incredibly kind and accommodating. I cannot recommend her enough, 1000/10.“

“I have seen Eliza's tattoos on Instagram. She is a very talented artist. She is very creative and likes to do personalized tattoos. It was easy to make an appointment and easy to find this shop in Melbourne. It is a super cool shop. The vibe is chill. The shop is very clean. They are all very professional. The music was from the 70s today and I was digging it as I am also from the 70s. ?I'm not super fancy. I just wanted something simple, as I'm a Gramma and am shy about being too flashy. So for me, these little birdies are perfect. Eliza is very kind, professional in every sense of the word, and quite knowledgeable. She listened and created my vision. If you are considering a tattoo, please check out this shop, you won't regret it!“

“Christen was awesome; accommodating with time and personable. It's obvious that cleanliness is a top priority here, as well as attention to detail. I love my newest tattoo, and will definitely return for any future work I want done! Highly recommend.“

“I recently had the privilege of attending microblading class that completely exceeded my expectations! As an aspiring cosmetic tattoo artist, I was seeking a comprehensive training program that would equip me with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in this industry, and this class delivered on all fronts! Patricia, who was not only highly skilled but also an experienced professional, made me feel at ease right away. Her passion for cosmetic tattoo’s was infectious, and she went above and beyond to ensure that I grasped the concepts thoroughly! Thank you SOO MUCH Patricia!!!!!!Services: Ombre eyebrow styling“

“after getting my nose pierced at new addiction, and their stud breaking and them trying to charge me to get my nose, completely re-pierced again, I went to rad ink to see if they could help me, and they went above and beyond. I cannot recommend this shop enough. They were so kind and willing to help me get the stud i wanted even though it wasn’t on their sleeves.“

“Just wanted to share some history of the building. Saw Blink-182 at Carol's Place in the 90's. I know it wasn't in your space, but it was in the same complex.“
