What happens during the tattoo consultation? We discuss the ideas that that client has put forward, what we think will work best and develop on ideas with the artist that best suits the work they are after. The consultation is a vital part of the process between the artist and client to build on concepts, ideas and create a great design.
What happens if I don’t show up for my tattoo appointment? If we do not receive more than 48 hours the booking deposit is lost.
Can I get drunk, high or otherwise intoxicated before my appointment? No.
How do you diplomatically counsel someone with a really ugly tattoo idea? We discuss why we think the idea would not work but work with the concept and design possibilities. If someone puts forth an ‘ugly’ tattoo idea, we develop on ideas and thoughts and guide the client to other options that would work well and stem from their first concepts.
Some people want tattoos in very intimate places. How do you go about it professionally? Treat all clients with respect and screen off the area that they are being tattooed in. We pride ourselves in being very accepting and understanding of people’s comforts when in for a booking.
Do you sell gift certificates? Yes we do. $50, $100 and open amount. Valid for 12 months and available in store!
Do you accept walk-ins? Absolutely! Depending on time availabilities it is best to contact us prior to coming in.
What’s the story behind the shop’s name? East Brunswick Tattoos. We are on Lygon St and wanted more of a description to our name to avoid clients going to the Carlton end. Sometimes it works.
How many artists are currently on staff? We currently have six artists on board that cover a vast array of styles! From black and grey portraiture to bold and colour full oriental.
If tattooing was made illegal tomorrow what would you do for a living? Bootlegging tattoos for the masses!
Which three tattoos are you sick of being asked for? Infinity symbols, Edwardian script, anything that turns into birds.
What is different about tattooing in Melbourne? The weather every 15 minutes. There is a great culture for the industry as a whole within Melbourne and boasts some great talent artists. Friendly competition and striving to stand aside and better ourselves.
Can I touch your tattoos? Yes. But there is a handling fee.
Anything else to add? We are open 11am – 7pm, Monday through Saturday and clients are always welcome to drop by anytime and discuss ideas, concepts or just check us out!
