If you’ve been thinking about getting tattooed, July is the time to lock in.

Since joining Skinks, Shane has quickly become one of our most in-demand artists, known for clean work, exceptional attention to detail, and standout black & grey realism. His books are filling fast with returning clients and larger-scale projects, so we’ve opened a very limited number of July appointments.

Book your first full-day session with Shane in July and receive a $200 voucher to put toward your second session.
Whether you’re planning a back piece or starting your next sleeve, now is the time to secure your spot before his prices rise to reflect demand.

How Our Business Works
We are a custom tattoo studio focused on creating high-quality, original artwork for every client. Rather than working from pre-drawn designs, we work closely with our clients to develop tattoos that suit their ideas, body shape, and personal style.
Consultation
The process begins with a consultation where we discuss your ideas, placement, size, style, and budget. This helps us understand your vision and determine the best approach for your tattoo.
Booking
Once you’re happy to proceed, a deposit is required to secure your appointment. Deposits confirm your booking and allow the artist to begin planning your tattoo.
Design Process
Our artists create custom designs for booked clients. Design work is usually completed closer to the appointment date rather than months in advance. This allows the artist to focus on creating the best design based on the latest consultation and ensures the artwork is tailored specifically to you.
Design Review
You will typically see your design at your appointment. Any reasonable adjustments can be discussed and made before tattooing begins. We encourage clients to review their chosen artist’s portfolio beforehand to ensure their style aligns with the desired outcome.
Tattoo Appointment
On the day of your appointment, we will confirm the design, placement, and sizing before starting. Our goal is to create a tattoo that not only looks great on paper but also flows naturally with the shape and movement of your body.
Aftercare
Once your tattoo is complete, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure proper healing and the best possible result.

Our Philosophy
We believe great tattoos come from a combination of client ideas and artist expertise. While client input is important, we encourage trust in the artist’s experience and creative process. This collaborative approach consistently produces the strongest long-term results.
