ABOUT ME
Professional tattoo artist based in Melbourne, Australia
I've been tattooing professionally since 2013 - trained under Zane Stevens at Royal Ink Tattoo, then spent over a decade at Victims of Ink on Chapel Street before joining Tanuki Tattoo in Hawthorn, Melbourne.
My work sits across a wide range of styles. Clean linework, bold neo-traditional pieces, detailed black and grey realism, vibrant colour work, trash polka, abstract and Japanese inspired designs. if you've got an idea, chances are I can make it happen.
Tanuki is a relaxed studio, and I like to keep things that way. No rush, no pressure just good tattooing in a welcoming environment. A lot of my clients have been coming back for years, which is something I'm genuinely proud of. Getting a tattoo should be a great experience from start to finish, and that's always what I'm aiming for.

Pricing
Typically, a multi-session tattoo project will be priced on a "per session" basis. The project continues to be paid per session until it is completed. The minimum starting rate is $200 per hour, or for a full day session, the cost is capped at $1,100.
I am happy to discuss pricing for your specific project once I know the style, how much detail is involved, and how large the tattoo project will be.
