Good toknow.

Use our Tattoo Enquiry form and tell us the idea, placement, approximate size and whether you want colour or black and grey. Reference images help us understand your direction, but they do not need to be polished.

No. An enquiry starts the conversation. We review the piece, talk through fit, timing and quote guidance, and only secure a date once you are happy to proceed and the retainer has been paid.

We usually reply within 1–3 days. Messages sent over a weekend or during a busy run of appointments may take a little longer.

Yes. You can name a preferred artist in your enquiry. If you are not sure, send the idea through and we can guide you toward the best fit. You can also view artist portfolios first.

A retainer is a non-refundable payment that secures your appointment date and time. It is credited toward your tattoo quote, so it is not an extra fee. Retainer payment is arranged privately after we have reviewed your enquiry.

One reschedule is available with at least 72 hours notice. A late cancellation, no-show, or additional reschedule forfeits your retainer. Read the full Cancellation Policy before proceeding.

Every piece is quoted individually. Size, placement, detail, style and the time required all affect the price. Send a Tattoo Enquiry with as much detail as you can and we will provide guidance once the idea has been reviewed.

Yes. The studio minimum is A$250. It covers the professional setup, single-use equipment, preparation and appointment time required for every tattoo, including small pieces.

Eat a proper meal, drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol before your appointment. Wear clean, comfortable clothing that gives easy access to the placement. We will share any piece-specific guidance when your appointment is confirmed.

Ask us before your appointment. The studio is private and set up for focused one-on-one sessions, so space and the nature of the appointment may affect what is possible.

No. Independence Ink is a private, appointment-only studio. Keeping the space free from walk-in traffic protects the focus and privacy of each session. Start with a Tattoo Enquiry and we will guide you from there.

We are in Camden, New South Wales. The street address is shared privately once your appointment has been finalised; it is not a public shopfront.

We will confirm the design, placement and sizing with you before tattooing begins. Your artist will explain the process, keep you informed throughout the session and provide clear aftercare guidance when the work is finished.
