About Hamsa Tattoo
Hamsa Tattoo is a custom studio in Footscray, spread across two levels a short walk from the suburb's transport links. Opened in 2021, it frames itself as a safe, respectful and inclusive space built around a large roster of resident artists.
The studio leans collaborative and welcoming, with tattooists covering blackwork, fine line, black-and-grey, dotwork, geometric and neo-traditional work alongside botanical and illustrative pieces. Several artists offer silent sessions and prioritise a relaxed, low-pressure experience, which suits first-timers and anyone who wants a calm room as much as considered design. Work runs by appointment, with each artist keeping their own books and taking flash as well as custom commissions.
It reads as an artist-led shop that puts comfort and inclusivity on equal footing with the tattooing itself.
