Perth tattoo shops

[supra_jza70]

Ok guys
I wanna get a tattoo and not top sure about where to go
Considering that I want engine parts I'm thinking about going somewhere where the tattooist has some sort of idea about engines and how parts look
Maybe somebody knows someone?
Or just got something done?

So if anyone can lemme know some shops and phone numbers just lemme know

Thanks
Adam

I got mine done at Holdfast Tatto. They're located on Beaufort St in Mt Lawley, and next to the Balmoral Hotel in Vic Park. They have a facebook page too.

My tattoo is very car related, and I'm very impressed with the work. Highly recommend.

[ReaperSS]

Goong from artful inkmorley did mine. Very good!

[Chris138]

See Joe at Cherry Bomb tattoo, he's into his cars. Has done turbo tatts, camshaft tatts, old school Caddy tatts etc

Not only that, but his artwork is simply awesome!

[mitchy]

The girl who did mine was Lauren Fenlon. I had two 2.5 hour sessions, one at each outlet (both by Lauren). I've got a hotrod, with buildings in the background - black/red/white colours. Sort of like a scene from Sin City movie. I'll post a pic later tonight if ya like.

Here's a link to her facebook, to see some of her other designs:

some nice tatts there


any other tattoo shops known for their japanese base culture tatts?

which shops have the best reps?

[INSINR8R]

+1 Holdfast. Haven't had a tatt from them but seen a lot of their work and it's pretty awesome.

Going there when I got money to get another.

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Almost no shops are known for "genre" Rep!

Artist move all the time...

Best advice, go round to all shops speak to artists, see there work... Find someone that's really into doing your tattoo as opposed to "its just another job"

My Oriental Sleeve was done by Tim Dunn, worked for most places in Perth. Now at Midland Tatt!

I don't really have any photo's of mine, other than this (bottom half)

[stackede30]

See Joe at Cherry Bomb tattoo, he's into his cars. Has done turbo tatts, camshaft tatts, old school Caddy tatts etc

Not only that, but his artwork is simply awesome!


Agree with Cherry Bomb tattoo, All the guys there do great work, all my tattoo`s have been done by Pip.

[supra_jza70]

went into cherry bomb yesterday
spoke to dude there
he recomended either joe or task
so heading in today to have a talk =]

[Chris138]

I'm getting my tat finished off by Joe at Cherry bomb next sunday arvo. Not an automotive related tat but I can show you the finished product once it's done :)

[supra_jza70]

yer mate if you can show me that would be awsome, ill be popping in next weekend to have a look at the final draw up anyway so see how things go

[supra_jza70]

wow bad timing huh
was getting my tattoo done next sunday

[rucker_]

I would NEVER go to cherrybomb.

Go see Tim at Artistic Skin art Midland. He would be by far the best guy for the job

[supra_jza70]

Tim used to be my neighbour. Ive seen massive amounts of his work. Most of his customers are via word of mouth and return customers.

Also, if you want colour, there is not better guy or gal in Perth

[adzmerc]

Dude, go to Nathan at Holdfast.
He did mine back when he was at Reilly's and its unreal.
Its an old Ford Merc with spark plug and spanners and im going back early next year to get rest done ( more mechanical)
He is quality and knows what he is doing only problem is his waiting list is half a year long!
