"I'm not a murdering bastard. I'm a murdering bastard with a job to do."


Mark “Chopper” Read

you can have it sharp or you can have it cheap.

You're here because you know the difference. You know a tattoo isn't just a transaction, it's a permanent homage to who you are. A commitment you'll wear forever, through every challenge and every triumph.

There are no shortcuts here. I'm not Bunnings. I don't compete on price.

I am a professional artist with a job to do, create a powerful, lasting tattoo that you will be proud of for the rest of your life. The bitterness of a bad one remains long after the sweetness of a low price is forgotten.

Invest in your story. Invest in yourself.

Iron sharpens iron. Don't use a pencil sharpener to tell your story.

how to apply for a consultation

STEP 1: SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION

Submissions are personally reviewed every Sunday. If I feel your project is a strong fit for my skills and experience, I will contact you directly to schedule a one-on-one consultation via Messenger or Instagram video call. This ensures your tattoo will get the best possible result.

STEP 2: THE CONSULTATION

This is where we dive deep into the themes, ideas, and meaning behind your project. Understanding your vision is critical for me to create the best art. Once we're both confident that I'm the right artist to bring your vision to life, we will map out a sitting structure and agree on the ideal dates for your tattoo.

STEP 3: SECURE YOUR DATES

To lock in the dates we've agreed upon, a deposit is required for each scheduled sitting. This deposit is your commitment to the project, and it allows me to fully commit my time and creative energy to making your piece a masterpiece.

STEP 4: THE TATTOO SESSIONS

The final step is straightforward: show up in comfortable clothing with plenty of water, and trust the process. With over 12 years of experience, I will handle the rest. You just need to relax and watch your vision come together. Full aftercare and aftercare instructions will be provided
