FAQs
What makes a traditional tattoo different from other tattoo styles?
Traditional tattoos are known for their bold black outlines, strong shading, and solid blocks of colour. This style focuses on timeless imagery and durability, meaning the tattoo is designed to age well and stay visually striking for years.
Can you customise traditional tattoo designs?
Yes! While traditional tattooing has its own classic motifs and style rules, our artists work closely with you to personalise your design so it still feels meaningful and unique, while staying true to traditional aesthetics.
Do traditional tattoos fade over time?
All tattoos will experience some level of fading, but traditional tattoos are specifically designed to last. Their bold lines and saturated colours generally age very well with proper aftercare and protection from sun exposure.
Do I need to book an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?
We’re happy to offer both. You’re welcome to book ahead if you have a specific design in mind, or drop by our Melbourne CBD studio for walk-ins, subject to artist availability.
Is this style suitable for first-time tattoo clients?
Absolutely. Traditional tattoos are a great choice for first-time clients thanks to their readability, durability, and clear design style. Our team is friendly and supportive, and we’ll guide you through every step of the process.
