five more lovely melbourne/naarm tattooists to keep on your radar

Itching to get some more ink? Peep our recommendations.

Ah, there's just nothing like getting a fresh new tattoo on our bods. We've been pretty big fans of tattoos for yonks now (in fact, we've gushed about our favourite tattooists from all over the country already) but we reckon that we're always in the mood to see even more spiffy tattoo artists. 

This time, we're heading back to Melbourne/Naarm, and we've jotted down five artists who we reckon you should check out – ASAP. 

@crushedclub is a tattoo artist based at Faith Hope Charity Tattoo in Flemington. Their illustrative art is dynamic, dreamy and perfect for fans of cute critters and anime motifs.

@soft___spot___ is a tattoo artist based at Milk Bar Studio in Brunswick. Their art is soft, calming and looks like the visual equivalent of a warm hug from an old friend.

@1000000000.horsepower is a tattoo artist based at Heartstrings Studio in Fitzroy. Like the name suggests, Jim's art is lively, fast-paced and should be the first stop for tattoo-loving horse-girls (regardless of gender).
