·I found this tattoo/illustration/drawing online, will you tattoo exactly like this for me?
In short, No.
Like any reputable tattoo artist, Nat has the ability to draw and design your ideas into your own perfect tattoo. Nat can use the references you provide as inspiration for your tattoo. If there are any particular elements you want included, let us know so that these details can be incorporated in the design process. Elements include things like; colours, the way the tattoo is arranged or negative spaces. Nat is a very capable artist who can design your tattoo and include elements you want. Nat has been tattooing for 15 years and has been involved in art for over 19 years.
For Illustrations, we ask you to provide consent from the original artist before they are tattooed. You will need to provide proof that you have the artists consent prior your appointment.
Please note: Not all designs will translate directly into good tattoos and may need to be redrawn for the tattooing process.
Inks? Consent?
·What inks do you use? Are they Vegan?
Yes! All Nat's inks are Vegan. In fact, Nat provides a full vegan tattoo experience.
·I'm not 18 yet, can I get tattooed? What if I have a parent/guardian's permission?
No. In Victoria it against the law and you must wait until you're 18. Nat also does not feel like it is ethically right to tattoo a minor. You will also need to provide your ID when filling out the consent form before your tattoo.
