The Craft

Three Services.
One Studio.

01
Tattooing

Classic and traditional tattooing is the core of the studio — bold black outlines, the deep traditional palette, old-school flash in the Japanese, American traditional and Celtic styles. The house style is what collectors of classic traditional tattoos describe when they recommend this studio by name: the horse-and-snake, the eagle, the sleeve, the back-piece. Work that peers call "a little part of history in tattooing," done by a man with over forty years at the machine. Cards accepted.

02
Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal is available at the Punt Rd studio. The best first step is a conversation — call (03) 9428 8542 to speak directly with John about what you have and what you want to do about it. No online form, no automated system: a straight answer from the man who will do the work.

03
Body Piercing

Body piercing available at 207 Punt Rd, Richmond. Walk in during studio hours, or call ahead on (03) 9428 8542. The studio is open Monday through Saturday — see Visit for full hours.

Payment
