A private tattoo studio in Melbourne, by appointment.
Bespoke, large-scale Japanese and neo-Japanese tattooing, in Yarrambat, north-east Melbourne.
NEST is a private, appointment-only tattoo studio in Yarrambat, north-east Melbourne. One artist works with one client at a time, in a space set up for long, focused sessions.
Every piece is bespoke and built around you, planned as one cohesive project rather than a collection of separate ideas. The studio's focus is large-scale Japanese and neo-Japanese tattooing: full sleeves, backpieces and bodysuits.
There are no guest artists and no walk-ins, and nothing about the work is rushed. Each piece is planned to flow with the body and to age well over decades.
NEST works with clients across Melbourne and Victoria, from the studio on the city's north-eastern edge.
