About Triple Eight Studio

Triple Eight Studio is a family-owned tattoo studio and creative space in Sawtell, on Gumbaynggirr country on the Mid North Coast. It works to a custom brief, with black-and-grey realism and clean custom script at the core of what it does.

The studio doubles as a community creative hub and the approach leans collaborative, with time spent understanding an idea before it goes on skin. That framing suits people bringing a personal or memorial piece rather than choosing off a wall, and the small resident team spans everything from realism to script and portrait work.

Bookings run through an online form or direct contact, with a consultation to talk through the design first. It reads as a warm, unhurried place for considered work rather than a walk-in-and-go shop.
