Yink Tattoo

Yink Tattoo is a custom studio on Burwood Road in Hawthorn East, in Melbourne's inner east, working across colour realism, fine-line, traditional and Japanese-influenced tattooing. The team frames each piece as a personal story, shaping a design around the client's own idea rather than pulling from a set catalogue.

The studio runs as a small collective, with several resident artists who each lean into their own specialty, from photorealistic colour and portraiture through to clean fine-line and bold traditional work. Quotes are worked out per project rather than on a flat hourly rate, and the space is set up for considered, one-off pieces as much as smaller first tattoos, in a calm room where detail and comfort both matter.

Walk-ins are taken when there is space, though a message ahead is the surer path to a slot. It suits anyone after custom colour or fine-line tattooing in the Hawthorn area.
