Cannot say enough great things about True Love! It started with somehow coming across jesse's Instagram when I first arrived in Brisbane and I loved his work. Jesse is an apprentice but I had complete faith in him, especially after meeting him at the shop for my consultation a few weeks back. The shop is rad! It's so clean and cozy. All of the artists are super friendly and seem to love being there. True Love requires a minimum $50 deposit for a tattoo, which you can pay in cash prior to your appointment, or pay thru PayPal! Which was really convenient. The tattoo I wanted was nothing I had seen Jesse do before, but he emailed me a sketch of his idea and I was so stoked it was almost exactly what I pictured. Jesse told me on appointment day, this style of tattoo was his first time ever doing anything like it. I'm absolutely impressed with the whole experience. Not to mention, my tattoo is so beyond perfect. Jesse will definitely be the one to finish my whole arm. read more

True Love are a bunch of fun dudes. On the advice of a friend, I booked in with Pip, and handed over my ideas during a short in-house consultation (which I recommend, because it gives you an idea of what you're in for, and gives the artist an idea of what you're like). I had been hoping for (and promised) a sketch of my piece before the day of the appointment, but it didn't end up happening - which was cause for a bit of anxiety on my part, and probably the only disappointing part of my experience. Once I came to terms with my right to exercise my power to say "actually, that's not quite right yet, sorry", I rocked up for my appointment only to find out that there was absolutely nothing to fear. Pip had done an awesome job in translating my suggestions into exactly the picture I had in my brain. She was as professional as she needed to be, and the remainder of her was hilarious. The pricing was totally reasonable (True Love are cash-only, but there's an ATM at the supermarket around the corner). I look forward to going back to True Love. read more
