How We work

Your Vision, Our Artistry: The Consultation Process

Small tattoos should feel like an exciting adventure, not a stressful hassle. We make it easy, relaxed and creative, with artists who’ll walk you through every step. Here’s what you can expect:

o1. The Consultation

Meet your artist, talk through your ideas and ask any questions (even the ones you don’t think you should ask!)

 

o2. The Design

Your artist will create a custom concept that reflects your story and show you beforehand so you can give the thumbs up. 

 

o3. The Session

Bring along your drinks and snacks (and a mate if you want to), kick back, relax and watch your idea come to life. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much are you small tattoos?

Pricing for small tattoos depends on size, placement and design. Our artists will give you a clear, personalised quote during your consult (but as a guide, smaller tatts start at $150). 

Most small tattoos are finished under an hour, but timing depends on your design, colour, placement and your need for breaks. Your artist will guide you on what to expect. 

It comes down to your style and comfort. Popular spots for a small tattoo include wrists, ankles, behind the ear and ribs, but your artist can help you choose the perfect placement. 

Absolutely. If your small tattoo fades over time (especially in the first few months), we’ll discuss touch-up options to keep it looking fresh and flawless.
