Our Favourite 9 Melbourne Tattoo Artists On Instagram

Look. I’m not really a tattoo guy. Sure, there’s a tattoo on my wrist but it’s only there because I thought I was getting henna at the time and they didn’t speak English. It’s a long story, for another day.

But, since my accidental first tattoo, I’ve often toyed with the idea of getting another, more planned, tattoo. Thus in preparation and looking for inspiration I set out to find the best tattoo artists in Melbourne and what kind of work they are known for.
