Kind words from our clients
Victims of Ink is one of my favourite tattoo studios in Melbourne! Aries and Yesid were amazing and made me and my partner feel so comfortable and welcomed ☺️ such a pretty studio as well!

15 January 2025Oh my god I cannot rave enough about my experience at Victims of Ink tattoo studio Melbourne enough. I was delighted to say that I have been blessed to have 4 tattoos done by Milli, every occasion strengthening my sure opinion that she is one of the sweetest and most talented tattooists I have encountered. She is absolutely incredible and creates such an easy going and safe environment, and I absolutely dig the pink set up she has.

15 January 2025I first came into Victims of Ink tattoo studio Melbourne in July with my wife to get our first tattoos. Aries was fantastic! She helped us through the design process and created some beautiful fine-line pieces. I’ve since come back for two more! The process was simple, the artwork was perfect. Cannot recommend strongly enough.

15 January 2025Victims of ink tattoo studio Melbourne is home to my favourite artist, Milli. I’ve had two pieces from her, with another one booked for a couple weeks time from now and every time she’s made it the most amazing, easy, fun experience and is the reason I’ve been coming back! All the artists and people there are also incredibly lovely, can’t wait to be there for my next appointment soon!

14 January 2025Yuli is such a talented artist and takes alot of care and thought into her work. I’ve had 3 tattoos from Yuli now and all of them have healed perfectly and I get a lot of positive comments on them 💖 the best tattoo studio Melbourne because of the incredible range of artists they have available and they’re all really talented. Can’t wait to return for the next one 🙂

14 January 2025I highly recommend getting a tattoo at VOI! I recently got a new tattoo here and couldn’t be happier! Everyone at VOI is extremely friendly and helpful. My tattoo artist, Yesid, is incredibly talented; his ability to create fine details and curves to perfection is truly impressive. I absolutely love my new tattoo and will definitely be going back to VOI for future work.

24 September 2024Amazing experience from start to finish. Had my first and second tattoo done here, couldn’t be happier. Will done both, and can’t wait to get the next done with them. The studio (first was a different one but my comments are true for both experiences) was spotless, clean but not clinical. Service was good, very friendly and accomodating. Tattoos were well planned out before hand, and delivered on the days to perfection. Keep up the good work

13 September 2024Go see Tom. Very professional and does exactly what I wanted. Time, design and placement never a problem. End result superceded all my expectations. I’m a return customer because I won’t go anywhere else, nor do I need to. Thanks Tom
Lee Quay
13 September 2024Would highly recommend Yuli, she was extremely friendly and did an amazing job on my tattoos. Was able to change details on the spot until the design was perfect.

12 September 2024Super welcoming and positive atmosphere!
I highly recommend Elise! she has done 4 tattoos for me which have turned out so perfect! She’s also super easy to talk to and always takes the time to make sure everything turns out perfect🤍
Hayley Corneille
12 September 2024Amazing experience with Tobias at Victims of Ink!! I’ve had roughly 6 day sits with Tobias now & I couldn’t imagine anyone else tattooing me. The entire process has been seamless. Tobias is an experienced artist that I can trust wholeheartedly to have my best interest at heart and create an amazing tattoo. Highly recommend if your apprehensive like I was, Tobias and I’m sure any other artist at this parlour will look after you 100%!
Noah Milton
12 September 2024I would highly recommend this studio! The staff is so friendly and highly professional, and the studio is so clean. The artists are so talented and each has their own unique style. I had a session with Joy, and her work is absolutely stunning. She worked with me to create the design I wanted and I am so happy with it. I got some fine line work done but her style has such a wide and impressive range and something for everyone. She is such a skilled and friendly artist, and she made my first tattoo a very special experience. I would recommend the studio to anyone looking for a unique piece or just looking to get a tattoo in general.

6 July 2023VOI is your place to go to get a tattoo done. Super clean and hygienic! From initial consult to tattoo appointment, everything was soo smooth.
As for my tattoo, I’m soooo in love with it! Yesid has to be the most friendliest, easy-going, gentle and precise tattoo artist that I’ve ever known! He listened to what I wanted. Put everything together just the way I requested and added some of his personal touch. And the end result was spectacular and exceeded all my expectations! Loved his attention to details. Can’t get over my tattoo. It’s soo gorgeous! Thank you Yesid! ♥️
