About Base 9 Tattoos

Base 9 Tattoos is a multi-artist studio on Mt Alexander Road in Moonee Ponds, in Melbourne's inner north-west. Its resident team leans heavily into black-and-grey and realism while covering a broad spread of styles across the chairs.

Between them the artists handle everything from Chicano, micro-realism and portraiture to traditional, stylised Japanese, blackwork, fine-line and illustrative work, with several holding a decade or more behind the machine. That range makes it a studio worth matching to a specific artist rather than a single house style, and a private room on site hosts guest creatives alongside the core team. It suits detail-driven realism collectors as much as those after a first considered piece.

The mix of senior specialists and apprentices keeps the books broad without narrowing to one look.
