Does getting a tattoo hurt?
Pain is really relative. Everyone has a different tolerance to pain. Yes tattoos can hurt! It can be compared to a “hot scratching sensation”. Remember though that you will have a piece of art that will be yours forever and this outweighs the small amount of discomfort you will endure getting your tattoo
How do I care for my tattoo?
Leave the tattoo wrapped for a hour or until you arrive home. A fresh tattoo is a open wound and is prone to bacteria and infection. Please do not soak in a bath for up to 2 weeks. Showering is fine. Cleaning the tattoo with warm water and soap is a must. Only use your clean hands to do so, do no use a face cloth or anything abrasive to clean the area. Pat dry with a clean towel and let it dry completely.
Follow with an aftercare product. We suggest our very own aftercare. It is all natural and easy to apply. Made from Unrefined Coconut Oil, Shea Butter and essential Oils. It is made here onsite at the studio with no hidden nasty Petroleum jelly or chemicals. And the healing time is 4 to 5 days using our product.

It is my absolute pleasure to share a review on my personal experience with Roki, Skye & the crew at The Art Of Tattoo... Petersham.I have had 2 coverup tattoos (30 & 15 years old) recently completed by Roki Maika.I know my first was a very difficult coverup as I had been speaking with many tattooists prior whom all said too difficult or just no way. I had 4 laser removal sessions & still same results.I remember from the first day I walked in & met with Roki, we sat down & talked about my journey & how I was wanting to coverup my old tattoos with Maori Tamoko. Without hesitation Roki said yes I can work with you & coverup the old & incorporate my story with a custom Tamoko that incorporates my culture.All I can say is working with Roki has been a awesome journey & experience with the most amazing results!!So if you’re thinking about getting a new Tattoo? I highly recommend you call, email, or just walk in & speak with Roki & Skye at The Art of Tattoo & book your appointment.I promised Roki to book in for my next Tamoko this time on clean clear skin.read more

If you are looking for the best, look no further than Dhruv! A true artist, able to mould your words into works of art.... He brought my vision to life by the flick of his wrist and was able to display it with such symmetry, movement and expression. He will exceed any and all styles with ease as he has been an international tattoo artist for 16 years! He loves what he does and it reflects greatly in the work he produces. I will exclusively be getting all my tattoos from Dhruv in the future.* HANDS DOWN BEST TATTOO ARTIST IN AUS *read more

Such an amazing atmosphere and really friendly staff and ownership. The walls are adorned with the widest range of... visual stimulation to get the brain churning out the sickest of ideas for next pieces. Really cool portfolio work and even skate decks with animal skulls, music posters and banners it was like stepping into my favourite room in the house 😂Am defo gonna return and smash out some bigger pieces based on their wall art. Usually i plan and know exactly what i want beforehand and deliberate over designs for weeks but Theyve made me wanna get twenty more asap now that ive seen how good their artists are Also as a metal fan the proximity to the crowbar has not gone unnoticed so tbh this is probably the best combo ive seen in a while Thanks so much guys!! Love love love the work and youll definitely see my lovely face again 😂😂read more

An overall comfortable, kind, professional and relaxed atmosphere. You won't find the typical macho "bro" culture that... often leaves non-men feeling uncomfortable or un-welcomed in the studio, instead the team is diverse, talented, considerate and easy going. One of the greatest tattoo experiences i've had in Sydney ~ Check them out, Igor is brilliant.read more

Yesterday I walked in for my first tattoo. The atmosphere was great and the staff were very welcoming and made me feel... incredibly comfortable. I had the pleasure of Rochelle being the artist to give me my first tattoo. She was so professional and bubbly and just made me feel relaxed and that I had nothing to be nervous about. I will definitely be returning to this parlour for my future tattoos. I cannot thank you all enough! 🙂read more

I can’t express how wonderful the experience was! The shop is beautiful and welcoming and the team are all lovely!... Rochelle was wonderful enough to give me three beauties! She spent lots of time working out fonts and designs and showing me different options she’d sketched up and helped me figure out perfect placement. This was by far my best tattooing experience (and the others were all brilliant so that’s really saying something). I’ll be returning for many more! Thanks Rochelle!!!!It’s also a really relaxing atmosphere - I could have stayed all day!read more

A 5-star rating doesn't seem high enough for my great experience at the Art of Tattoo at Petersham. Paul was my tattoo... artist and did an amazing job both designing and drawing on my tattoo. I've had two very large pieces done by Paul and I've gotten so many compliments on the detail and overall appearance of both. If I get any more tattoos, I'll definitely be going back to Paul! I highly recommend him as a tattoo artist and the Art of Tattoo for all your tattoo needs. So great!!read more
