Tatau – Explore the Art of Tattoo. At NGV Studio
I recieved and email about an upcoming event at NGV Studio, suggesting it as something my readers might be interested in, which is very exciting for two reasons. Firstly the exhibition sounds like a very cool look at the history of tattooing and secondly it means that the blog is getting some significant attention from people both in the industry and the wider public.
Here are some excerpts from the NGV studio media release:
Tatau will examine the history of permanent skin marking with a
focus on Pacific Island culture and will feature live tattooing by

Off Ya Tree Tattooing
The Off Ya Tree store on Swanston St in the city now also has a tattoo parlour as well as the piercing studio which they have had for quite some time. Located in essentially the heart of the city gives it a very convenient location for access with countless buses, trains and trams servicing the area. Being located in a store also gives them the advantage of taking away some of the pressure if it is your first visit to a tattoo parlour. Sometimes it is good to be able to look at t-shirts and random paraphernalia to escape the initial shock to the system that comes with walking into a dedicated tattoo parlour
