A brand new addition to Fitzroy Street, St Kilda Ink is bringing back some artistic flare in the…read moreform of body art. With four different artists on staff you have a choice of four distinctly different styles, specifically they have artists who specialise in traditional Asian influenced artwork, another artist who really loves a tribal influence and even a staff member who has studied fine arts. With their shop facing the street you can often see customers of St Kilda Ink undergoing their artistic transformation as you are wandering by. A little daunting for the people being tattooed, but fantastic for the general public! The studio itself has been furnished well and decorated accordingly, lots of black and white traditional and ornate patterns cover the walls, and of course tattoo examples for you to admire and compare.

I can't claim to have any myself but I have accompanied a number of friends to St Kilda Ink to…read morewatch them as they writhed and squirmed in pain while having themselves permanently scarred by the ink from a needle. Okay, so that was a bit dramatic. In fact, all the friends that I have accompanied to St Kilda Ink have said quite the opposite. The gentle touch from the female artists at this tattoo parlour makes the experience really quite tolerable. So I'm told. As I sat on the stool watching in amazement the steady hand of one particular artist, I was quite taken by her talent. I've never been one to frequent tattoo parlours but St Kilda Ink, with its glamorous black and white interior complete with ornate mirrors, plasma screens and clean white tiles, certainly alters the perception I had of such establishments. The friendly nature of the staff make every consultation easy and, even as a bystander, I felt very welcome within the venue. Specials are always on offer, especially as the business is new, but tattoos are generally priced at about $160 per hour. Once my friend's artwork (on her ribcage may I add...ouch!) was complete, I was astonished at the intricate detail of the image. I was so impressed, that I've even started to consider one for myself.... maybe.

I stumbled into Voodoo Ink way back in 2005 when I first moved to Melbourne. I'd parked myself in…read moreSt Kilda (as many newcomers do) and was looking to get a walk-in tattoo done to kill a Saturday afternoon. The guy I spoke to was super enthused by the ideas I had (old-school OG swallows on my shoulders) and at that time, they were very open to walk ins. Little did I know, the tattooist in question would go on to work in one of Melbourne's premiere tattoo shops (Tattoo Magic) and Voodoo kind of allowed him to develop his chops. That seems to be the role of Voodoo Ink. They don't really hold on to talent but they allow newcomers an environment to hone their skills. This means that at any given time, the quality of artists in the shop can vary, so if you're particular about 'perfect' tattoos (I'm not), Voodoo won't float your boat. The batch they have now look pretty good (check the website) but that may be a different story in the future. The shop's not as much of a dump as it used to be also, and they've got plenty of flash art for those who wanna pick off the wall. This is no purist style shop, but it serves a function and there are surprisingly few studios in St Kilda.

Got my second tat at Voodoo. Located in the heart of St Kilda, this studio offers about 4 different…read moreartists, and with a couple of apprentices, rates are competitive. Mikey Sharks is a chief and talented tattooist.
