The Tatt Shop stands out as one of Western Australia’s most established tattoo studios, with roots dating back to the early 1980s. Its long history reflects both experience and consistency in delivering tattoo services to a wide range of clients.

Located in Northbridge, within Perth’s busy entertainment and dining district, the studio benefits from a highly accessible and vibrant setting. This makes it convenient for both locals and visitors who want to combine their tattoo appointment with other city activities.

A key strength of The Tatt Shop is its focus on custom tattooing and design services. The artists emphasize personalized work, ensuring that each tattoo reflects the individual preferences and ideas of the client.

The studio is led by Noel Wilkinson alongside a skilled team of artists, contributing to a collaborative and professional environment. This leadership and team dynamic help maintain a strong reputation for quality and reliability.

Professionalism and hygiene are clearly prioritized, with the studio maintaining high industry standards. This attention to cleanliness and safety is critical in building trust and ensuring a comfortable experience for clients.

Another notable aspect is the studio’s welcoming atmosphere, described as offering “good old fashioned street shop hospitality.” This approach creates an inclusive environment that caters to both first-time clients and long-time tattoo enthusiasts.

Finally, The Tatt Shop’s operating hours—from 10am to 6pm seven days a week—offer flexibility and convenience. This consistent schedule makes it easier for clients to find a suitable time for consultations or tattoo sessions.

Inkredible Parlour’s quality is in the name, thanks to its dedicated tattoo artists. I’ve always wanted to have a phoenix emblazoned on my back as a symbol of my new life, but I couldn’t quite decide what design I wanted.

Thankfully, Giorgia was available to ink me up. She’s been tattooing from a young age in Italy, and now, she has over eight years of experience.

I initially asked for their tattoo gallery for inspiration, and I was astonished by the massive array of designs! It was a bit difficult to decide on my best design, so I asked Giorgia for help.

I was a bit shy about explaining my design, but she was friendly and understanding. Eventually, I felt more comfortable about explaining my design.

I asked for numbing cream, but she told me I had to get a pharmacist’s instructions. That’s why I decided to just bite the bullet despite my fear of needles.

My first-ever tattoo was done in an hour, and I’m very happy with how it turned out! If you’re planning to get inked up at Inkredible Parlour, you may want to book an appointment early. It gets a lot of customers!

In the business for over two decades now, Artful Ink has proven its capacity to adapt with the ever-changing tattoo industry. In fact, they’ve already established four boutique shops situated locally and internationally. 

Originally founded by two tattoo art masters, the overall management of these four boutiques now falls on their female protégé. And we love how progressive and innovative this makes them! 

We also love how serious they are in dealing with the health and safety of their clients, artists, and their overall environment. They make sure to use their needles only once and keep the procedure as sterile as possible. 

The staff is also friendly. They will walk you through the entire process, from conceptualizing your design to inking it on your skin. 

As artists, they aren’t shy to turn you down if they think your tattoo design doesn’t go with their style. This can hurt some clients, especially those already set on their designs.  

They only also accept clients by appointment. 

This policy is intended to give their artists more time to prepare and ink their clients per session. If you want to have your tattoo done quickly, this shop is unfortunately not for you.

Uniquely, this shop charges their rates depending on the seniority of their artists. You’ll pay less per hour if you go for a junior artist than for a senior one. 

Nevertheless, if you’re willing to spend extra, the quality of art and service you get from their senior artists is unrivaled. 

If this is your first time getting your tattoo, Bloodlines’ client service guarantees an easy experience for you. For starters, they’re open daily and offer free consultations.

They’re also active on social media, so interested clients can have a quick overview of their artists’ works.

We also love their unique lineup of tattoo artists.

They have resident artists with distinct art styles. 

If you prefer something else, they also invite guest artists who tattoo at their shop on specific dates. Clients can check out these dates on their social media accounts and website. 

This exciting selection does come with a price. They tend to charge higher compared to their competitors. 

Their location, although accessible, lacks parking space as well, so you’d have to come earlier if you’re bringing a car. 

We also love the merchandise they sell, which includes their own line of aftercare ointments. We think this makes them a one-stop shop where clients conveniently get the services and products they need in one place. 

The staff is also friendly and approachable.

They go the extra mile to make sure that clients are comfortable throughout the process, whether it be during consultation or inking sessions. 

They listen to ideas but also suggest their own to achieve the best design that will make their clients happy. 

Post-session, we appreciate that they instruct their clients clearly and comprehensively on how to take care of their tattoos.

Top quality service at an affordable price? Ink Testament Tattoo Studio is a good choice for you.

Established in 2018, this shop is a newbie in the industry. Despite this, they’ve been making noise with their A1 artistry. 

They accommodate different types of tattoos and offer to come up with a design or customize one for you. 

We love that they put a premium on health and safety. In fact, they emphasize using only top-quality inks and authentic tattoo equipment. 

They also make sure their tattoo hygiene practices meet the standards of the Australian Health Department. 

They also offer piercing services if you want to get one with your tattoo. They use sterile and single-use equipment that guarantees a clean and safe procedure.

These services are all offered at an affordable rate. 

Their deposits are pegged at $50 but are, as always, nonrefundable. 

They offer multiple payment options including payment by installment.

They’ve partnered with InkPay, which allows clients to make their payments within six weeks. 

They’re also open on weekends but only for those with appointments. 

Finally, we love that their tattoo shop is just right down the street. It’s cozy and relaxing as well. 

They have a parking space within the complex that clients can avail of, although it’s shared and therefore only limited. Come earlier to secure a good parking spot!

WA Ink Tattoo has been Perth’s go-to tattoo shop with their experience spanning over three decades. 

They house over 10 tattoo artists, each with their own unique art style. 

This, for us, also makes them a good place to discover and appreciate Perth’s most talented local artists.

The great selection also works well for clients who want to explore interesting designs and art styles. 

We recommend them to clients who are, themselves, tattoo enthusiasts. We think you will enjoy the display of art and talent in their work. 

We’re also curious about their Ink Flash Weekend event. It’s a special event where tattoo artists offer their drawn-up designs to clients on a scheduled weekend. 

Clients are welcome to choose from these designs, but it’s strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. This event is also popular, so expect a long queue if you’re thinking of joining in. 

In any case, you can visit their website to check any updates on their next Ink Flash Weekend event!

We love that they also offer products to their clients. They sell a few merch and vouchers which you can treat yourself with. 

Their vouchers make great gift ideas for your tattoo-loving friends and loved ones. 

They are, however, pretty strict with their COVID-19 regulations. Plus-ones aren’t allowed, and only a maximum of three people are allowed in the waiting area. 

If you usually need company when getting inked, you might want to look for other options.
