About Umbra Tattoo

Umbra Tattoo occupies a loft-style warehouse on Gore Street in Fitzroy, just off the crossroads of Brunswick and Johnston streets. Co-founded by two artists with two decades of combined experience between them, it was built as a deliberate move away from the dim, back-alley shop toward a private, light-filled gallery.

The space is flooded with natural light and leans into a calm, considered atmosphere rather than a walk-in-and-go feel. Beyond tattooing it runs as an artist space that hosts seminars and exhibitions, and it carries a large, rotating roster of resident and visiting artists working across custom and hand-poked pieces. That breadth means the studio suits people bringing a specific idea to develop, along with those who value a collaborative, unhurried consult.

It leans high-end and appointment-led rather than spur-of-the-moment, so it rewards a bit of planning. For anyone after custom work in a considered gallery setting close to the heart of Fitzroy, Umbra is a strong fit.
