Nari is incredible she did two tattoos so quickly and the shading is amazing
Very happy with my first tattoo, the environment was great and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Zoe, she was great and made the experience a lot of fun.
Really friendly staff as a first timer and very happy about how the tattoo came out
Had a last minute booking for a memorial tattoo of my cat’s paw prints. Very friendly team and was in good hands with Hayley. It was my first tattoo and the experience was a really positive one, was very smooth sailing.
I came as a walk in for one tattoo but ended up leaving with 6 and an old one touched up! Pau was an absolute professional and a good vibe – trust him with free hand, he knows what he’s doing!
Had a great time yesterday getting my forearm piece. Tanya my tattoo artist was awesome and incredibly welcoming and accommodating! Highly recommend
I had my first tattoo with oliver an it was the best experience. He is fast, funny and perfect at what he does. Loved the work and the guy .
It’s been my second time here and both been back for Yuli ! She did my back tattoo sometime last year which was pretty much my first piece especially my biggest piece yet. She was so genuine and very informative of what the process was. She prioritises hygiene very much and the station is very clean and sterile. I went back today to get some simple cursive writing done around my collarbone. She’s so precise with her work and made sure I was happy with everything before moving forward. I loved getting her profressional opinions as I know I could trust her thoughts, ideas and placements. Absolutely love the studio and I highly recommend Yuli she’s a spectacular artist and has such a welcoming and positive demeanour!
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Victims of Ink several times to see Milli. Milli and the team are kind, fun, professional and make the whole process easy and low pressure. I highly recommend Milli and the team at Victims of Ink.
I had a fantastic experience getting my tattoo done by Pau. I brought in a design I really liked, and Pau not only executed it beautifully but also offered some creative alternatives and suggestions that really enhanced the final piece. He was incredibly patient throughout the process, making sure everything was perfect before moving forward. The end result was even better than I imagined—clean, detailed, and exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend Pau if you’re looking for a talented and thoughtful tattoo artist!
Amazing experience getting tattoos from Pau. Super helpful and friendly guy, really helped develop my basic ideas into things that worked, couldn’t be happier. The vibe throughout the whole place was class, just like Pau’s playlist
Oli was great! Flexible, friendly and fun. Very happy with the results. Great spacious shop, would definitely book here again.
Absolutely loved my experience at victims of ink! My tattooist Milli was so beautiful and caring. Hands down one of the easiest people to talk to as well. The whole time being at the parlour everyone was also really warm and welcoming. I’ll only be getting my tattoos from here.
Thank you so much xx
Pau was great, executed my design perfectly, first tattoo with a mate and was super nice. Really happy with his job.
Very welcoming studio and the artists are all talented, Syd did an incredible job on my tattoo.
I’ve been to a few tattoo artists before, but ever since my first session with Tom, he’s been the only one I go to. His attention to detail, creativity, and genuine care for his clients make every session an amazing experience. Tom always takes the time to make sure I’m 100% happy with the design and the final result, and he puts in that extra effort that really shows in his work. The studio is always spotless, and the whole team is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. I constantly get compliments on my tattoos and always recommend Tom to anyone who asks. If you’re after quality work in a clean, professional, and friendly environment—Tom’s your guy. Can’t recommend him enough!
I had an amazing experience at Victims of Ink! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the team was incredibly professional. Tom was great —he took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, ensured I was comfortable throughout the entire process, and checked in frequently to make sure everything was going smoothly. His attention to detail and calm demeanor made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. Most importantly, he brought my vision to life perfectly—the tattoo design turned out exactly as I had imagined! If you’re looking for a skilled and considerate artist who genuinely cares about your comfort and delivers incredible results, I highly recommend Tom.
Yasid took his time and was very understanding about how important the tattoo meant to me. Very professional and the staff were also helpful and happy. Would highly recommend victims of ink to anyone thinking of getting a tattoo. Thankyou to you all gods gifted angels
Last minute booking and they fit me in with the amazing and talented Pau.
Spectacularly executed tattoo also went above and beyond my expectation and vision.
Will definitely be back on my next trip to Melbourne.
Where to begin? I have never thought I would be this happy with my tattoo. The amazing artist Chanelle, was patient, kind, her precision was next to none. The detail and the outcome nothing short of immaculate. Additionally, Chanelle was friendly, kind and considerate. I highly recommend Victims of Ink and Chanelle. Thank you so much.
Great people and awesome service from start to finish. Oli did such an awesome job of all 6 tattoos. He was super patient, gave guidance, suggestions and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Oli is a superstar with fine lines and coloured shading. (I’m he does more but fine lines aren’t easy) It’s a fun environment and not intimidating at all. 5 stars 🌟
Olly is the best, did a perfect job and went above and beyond to help me with my idea and make it even better!
Got a tattoo with the artist Pau and the results and process were exactly what I wanted. The studio is easily accessible by public transport and the friendly staff + energy are perfect for first tattoos or those with many 🙂
I absolutely love my new tattoo done by Will at Victims of Ink. It came out even better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Will, he’s an exceptional artist that provides great care and professionalism throughout the whole tattooing process. Thank you
I got my first tattoo done here by Pau and was very happy with the entire process. Pau is an extremely talented artist and the tattoo itself looks incredible. On top of that, Pau has a great vibe – he’s very friendly and answered all of my questions (which I had a lot of) ensuring I was comfortable with the procedure, the design, and the after care routine. I highly recommend this studio as a great place to get inked, and Pau as a great artist to get inked by.
Started my sleeve yesterday with ysid and extremely happy with it and the design.
I got my first tattoo with Dappy and she is amazing at what she does. She was meticulous and careful throughout the process. Amazing stuff!
I was so nervous getting my first tattoo, and I had Pau who was amazing!! He was so patient, kind, and did an amazing job. Would defenitely recommend, I love my new tattoo!!
Had a great experience at Victims of Ink! The shop was clean and super welcoming. Highly recommend Pau – he’s a great artist that made us all felt super welcomed and relaxed for the day. He did all four of our group in the one day and all of us love our new ink. I will definitely be coming back for future bookings.
Had a fantastic Sunday in the studio with friends getting tattooed by Pau. Great experience and left with incredible tattoos. Highly recommend Pau as a tattoo artist.
Pau did a most awesome and wonderful work on my eagle tattoo. The detail he added is to perfection, even caught a catch light in the eagle’s eye. I highly recommend Pau for anyone looking for a Tattoist. You can find Pau at ‘Victims of Ink’ in 515 Chapel Street, South Yarra.
Easy location to get to in South Yarra (just outside the CBD) with public transport and a short walk. The studio has an open plan industrial vibe. My tattoo artist Yuli was lovely, very friendly, explained the process and made sure I was happy with the design, placement and colours before starting. Offered water and music choices. I’ll be back again, highly recommend.
Great Artist and great environment. Booked a Colour tattoo with Enrico and it’s perfect.
Pau is an an amazing artist, get so many compliments on piece he did! He’s patient and experienced which helped with my finalised design. Tbe studio itself is bright, clean and professional. Thanks Pau and VOI for making me feel welcome and looked after:)
Whole space is clean and well looked after. Lovely and friendly staff. Milli did an amazing job doing my tattoo couldn’t recommend her or the studio more!
It was my first tattoo, super accomodating and professional service, made me feel very comfortable.
I can’t recommend VOI enough!
We came over from Adelaide for a few days and I spontaneously wanted a tattoo. Knowing full well it was a long shot I sent an enquiry into Victims of Ink to see if they had any availability that day for a pretty complex piece. Within the hour I received a phone call letting me know they could get me in. As soon as we arrived and walked in we felt comfortable and welcomed.
My tattoo artist – Oli, was incredibly patient and approachable. Not only did he do an incredible job, he talked me through everything he was doing and why.
Thank you Victims of Ink, we will be back!
Best tattoo shop in Melbourne!
Had such an amazing experience with a very knowledgeable tattoo artist. Super relaxed and comfortable environment and perfect for first timers like myself. I would highly recommend!
This Tattoo Studio is one of the best I’ve been too, I love the vibe and the people and definitely will be back again! Thank you Yuli for my tattoo! I love with it.
Tobias at victims of ink was amazing. Couldn’t praise him enough. Will be getting more work from him the next time I’m in town
My wife also got a tattoo by Oli and loved it! He made her thoughts come to life in a tattoo and she is so happy!! Thanks Oli!
Such a great experience at this studio!! I saw the artist Syd to get a custom design done, she handled my requests with such care and the whole process was a super straightforward and easy process!! 😊😊
I got my first couple tattoos today with Yuli and couldn’t have had a better experience 🙂 definitely coming back in the (near) future, was super nervous but so happy i went through with it
Just finished get my tattoo done by Pau he was amazing though out the process from the consultation to delivery me exactly what I wanted and has helped give me more ideas to help fill in the rest of my arm I will definitely be coming back to get more work done in the very near future. Thank you Victims of Ink
Yuli was amazing to work with and she really knew her stuff. She was friendly as well as helpful and honest about placement ideas. The design was nearly exactly what I’d pictured, and I’m absolutely stoked with the end result. Would definitely see her again!
What an amazing bunch of artists! They did such a great job, very kind, super relaxed and incredibly organised. Every single staff member was friendly and nice.
We went in a group of friends and they were so good alas patient with us.
Would HIGHLY recommend this place.
Amazing tattoo artist and everyone is so friendly
Very friendly staff, felt at ease as soon as I walked in. I was very happy with my fine line tattoo.
My tattooer was Pau. I had a great overall experience. I wanted a coverup tattoo and received exactly that. My tattooer was really nice and attentive to my needs and the studio was extremely clean.
I was tattooed today by Pau, super good guy from spain. He has a really nice style between traditional and japanese and blackwork. I am super happy with his work, super clean and delicate on the skin aswell. If u get a vist you wont be disappointed
Was tattooed by Chanelle yesterday and it was such a great experience! Her attention to details is incredible. New favourite tattoo studio in Melbourne!
It’s seriously such a gorgeous atmosphere & they make you feel very welcome & safe with absolutely no judgement, I’m getting ALL my tattoos from here, specifically Millie, she’s so wonderful & makes you feel so great
Definitely returning. Digby did an excellent job on a memorial piece. Extremely considerate and invested in the work. Best experience at a tattoo studio Melbourne.
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!
Oh 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.
I 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.
Victims 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!
Yuli 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 🙂
I 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.
Amazing 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
Go 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
Would 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.
Super 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🤍
Amazing 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%!
I 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.
Super friendly people and an awesome shop, easy bookings and great communication. Have had a majority of my tats done here and they’ve all come out awesome! 110% recommend Victims of Ink for your next !
VOI 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! ♥️
This place is extremely professional and authentic. Going in for my first tattoo, the artist were very easy going and made me feel very comfortable. Enrico did an amazing job and got the job done quickly also. 5/5 would recommend.
Place is super clean and professional. Everyone there is also very lovely. Yuli did my forearm tattoo and couldn’t be more happy with it. Highly recommend this place 👌🏻
