✨ THAT’S A WRAP ✨

Something Original is now officially closed. Thank you to everyone who helped us send her off yesterday on birthday 🎂

To all our clients and community, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting our studio over these past 5 years. It’s truly been a pleasure and we are grateful for every single one of you!

The absolute dream team of humans in this photo have made Something Original what it is, and we couldn’t be prouder to know and love them all. Every day with this crew in the studio was a great day ❤️‍🔥 thank you all for everything.

Please be sure to follow them in their next pursuits as they continue going about their crafts with the same ethics, integrity, and level of care and respect that we delivered at Something Original:

Greetings dear friends, colleagues, patrons and fans of Something Original.

Owner Mat Fink here. For those who weren’t aware, I made the announcement over on my page back in December that I was stepping back from tattooing indefinitely for my own personal health reasons, with my last official days being the end of March this year.

Unfortunately what was already a stressful emotional time has now massively compounded as we’ve been unable to reach an agreement on terms with continuing the lease here in Newtown, and I just dont have the capacity for the logistics involved in finding and fitting out a suitable new space at this time.

I’m so sad that this chapter is coming to an end, but I’m extremely grateful and proud of the wonderfully inclusive safe space we’ve managed to carve out here over the past 5-6yrs.

If you’ve ever come to Something Original or been thinking of doing so - now is the time! Our full crew is working with me through til the end of March, from there folks will begin to disperse to their next destinations as I begin to pack up my little dream factory and say goodbye for the last time.

If you don’t already, please follow each of the team to stay up to date with their movements.

If you have gift vouchers you haven’t used yet, please get in touch via the shop email if you’d like to use or reimburse them.

By all means please comment and share your favourite times and experiences with us. 🥰

Love.

🏳️‍🌈🖤💛❤️

It has been an absolute pleasure having on our team for the last nine months 🐈‍⬛

If you’ve ever been tattooed by Al you will know how kind and personable he is.. we’re definitely already missing his calm presence around the studio, as well as his hilarious dry sense of humour 🥲

He’s left Sydney for now, but he’ll be back again in January and sporadically for guest appearances after that.

If you would like to get tattooed by Al next time he’s here, please get in touch with him directly.

MISS YA ALREADY, BIG FELLA 🖤
