Sydney/Melbourne Shop/Artist Recommendations

[ChrisM]

Anyone know of any good ones for a fun walkin souvenir. I don't have a ton of time but I wear traditional and japanese and am open to either. I would do the research on my own but decided last minute that I wanted a tattoo and am already in transit. I'm currently in Fiji where wifi has been dodgy. Thanks for any advice guys!

Maybe... try Hunter and Fox in Sydney: Hunter and Fox Tattoo and for Melbourne try:

Chapel Tattoo Chapel Tattoo

Korpus Korpus or

Third Eye Third Eye Tattoo Studio hope this helps!

Good time to be in Sydney

Sydney > Artists | Tattoo Expo

Hunter and Fox Tattoo Hunter and fox is full of talent, my favourite is Stevie Edge, also they usually have great artists guesting there around this time of year.

Tristan Bentley Tattoo Portfolio - Ocean Ink Tattoo and Body Piercing - Miranda NSW Australia

Ben Rorke , I believe Ben Rorke and Mitch love will be in Sydney at hunter and fox in March.

Think the guys from chapel will be in Sydney not to sure, Andrew does great work.

Chapel Tattoo

For some Japanese try

Japanese | Traditional Japanese Tattooing by Kian Forreal | Tattoo Artist | Sydney Tattoo Shops & Tattoo Studios Australia

that should get you started

Melbourne:

Chapel Tattoo

Third Eye

Dynamic Tattoo (Trevor McStay's shop)

Tattoo Magic

All are great but pretty busy, sometimes they advertise time for walkins on their instagram/facebook.

or track down Fergus Simms (currently at No Regrets in Chelsea)

The Expo in sydney will be great also.

Did you end up with a tattoo souvenir from Australia?

Sorry for bringing up a zombie thread, but I'm headed to Sydney soon. Hunter and Fox looks great but it's almost an hour away without a car. Any other options in Sydney?

welcome back, @Kev!

Wow, it's old poster resurrection day . . .

[Joe Stratford]

Further to this if there are any LST'ers in Melbourne I am moving there shortly so it would be nice to meet up, have a coffee/beer and talk tattoos/life!

[Kev]

I'm currently emailing Hunter and Fox to get in with Heath Nock, so I think I have it sorted out.
