WHERE TO START

Welcome to Pacifink Tattoo Studio

We have transitioned to operating as a private studio exclusively by appointment to guarantee a tailored experience throughout all your interactions with us. This means that when you come into the studio for your appointment, you can expect a more personalised approach, free of distractions and interruptions.

If you are a returning client, we ask that you please contact your artist directly via email – you can find the email address of each artist at the bottom of the page or by visiting their Instagram pages here. All messages to the inbox may not be monitored within a timely manner and you will find a quicker, more personalized service if you contact your artist directly.

If you are new to Pacifink, you can browse through each artist's Instagram page to gain an understanding of their style, artistic skills, and specific genres, empowering you to make a well-informed choice on which artist to choose for creating your timeless masterpiece.

We encourage you to select an artist and communicate with them directly via email. You will be able to request personalized information regarding your tattoo, such as costs, availability and any other information to get your journey started.

Prior to contacting your tattoo artist, we recommend that you have a fair idea of what you want. If you are after a masterpiece, be prepared to collaborate with your artist to envision what your body will look like at the end of your tattoo journey. Once you have decided on the final vision, you will work with your artist to take the steps needed to get there.

DO NOT LIMIT YOUR TATTOO ACCORDING TO YOUR BUDGET

Things to consider prior to contacting your artist are:

Body placement – Are you wanting an arm sleeve, back piece, leg piece etc.? Is it large or are you just after a small piece?
Meaning – what does this mean to you?
Genre – What style of tattoo do you want? Realistic and illustrative, traditional and old school, Japanese, watercolour, abstract, polynesian, tribal…...the possibilities are endless. If you are unsure, search engines are your friends.
Cover ups – this process involves more discussion with your selected artist. Not everything can be covered with just anything and you may have to consider laser removal prior to your tattoo. Discuss this directly with your artist.
Reference pictures – you will need a bunch of reference pictures for your artist to share your vision. What you have in your mind will not necessarily be what your artist has in theirs. Be mindful that we do not copy tattoos – all artworks will be created following a unique collaboration between you and your artist.

Once you have all this information, feel free to contact your artist of choice via email:

Once you have chosen your artist, it's time to book in.

All bookings require a booking fee. This is a fee that guarantees your spot on your chosen day at our studio. This fee is deducted from your final price of your tattoo.

If you don't turn up to your tattoo appointment or if you fail to give your artist 72 hours-notice of postponement or cancellation, your booking fee will be kept by the artist to cover the loss of income incurred.

All booking fees will range between $100-$300 depending on the size/timing of your tattoo. Remember, this fee is deducted from the final price on the day of your tattoo.
