About The Hammer And Quill
The Hammer and Quill is a custom tattoo studio on Main Street in Alstonville, in the Northern Rivers. Six resident artists work out of the studio, and between them they carry an unusually broad set of backgrounds spanning fine arts, graphic design, barbering and more.
That range shows in the work on offer: geometric and ornamental pieces, black and grey realism, Japanese, traditional and neo-traditional, fine line and dotwork, illustrative blackwork, floral designs and native Australian flora and fauna. New clients and larger projects start with a complimentary consultation, and the studio runs on an appointment basis with designs prepared ahead of the sitting.
It is a considered, craft-minded set-up that reads equally well for a first small piece or a full custom sleeve built over several sessions.
