Lease is exipring in November, so would need to negotiate a new lease with the landlord.

Employees

Currently 7 tattoo artists (subcontractors) and 2 receptionists (employees)

Reason for Sale

We’ve proudly run this studio for over 7 years, but with a young family and another business, we simply don’t have the time to give it the attention it deserves. This is a chance for a new owner to take the studio to the next level.

About the Business

When you step into the studio, you immediately feel the care and craftsmanship poured into every corner. Owners Joe Metrix and Loretta Perry designed and built much of the space by hand, creating bespoke features and decorations that make the studio truly unique. Our artists, managers, and apprentices treat the studio like a second home, maintaining a welcoming and professional environment.

We’ve cultivated a fun, family-friendly vibe that resonates with clients, whether it’s a cup of coffee when you walk through the door or a game of pool during your tattoo session. This warm, engaging atmosphere has helped build a loyal and returning client base over the years.

Since opening in December 2018, we’ve overcome challenges, including COVID setbacks, and have continued to grow steadily. Our team regularly attends Australian and New Zealand expos, earning multiple awards and recognition, which further strengthens the studio’s reputation.

From an investment perspective, this is a rare opportunity. The studio is fully fitted, turn-key, and positioned in a high-traffic, highly visible location in Richmond. With ample space for up to 12 artists, private rooms, a large office, and a generous staff area, the business offers significant room for expansion—whether by adding artists, diversifying services, or developing retail and merchandise sales. Combined with a loyal client base, strong brand reputation, and proven operational systems, the studio is well-positioned to generate consistent revenue and grow under new ownership.

History

Opening in 2018 after extensive construction including stunning handpoured, purple and gold resin floors, stone walls, victorian-esque arch ways and custom metal fixtures, the studio has flourished over the years and has been home to some incredible talent hailing from around the world. Our 400+ 5 star reviews on google, 10k+ Tiktok and 17k+ followers on Instagram, are a testiment to the strong reputation we have built in the community.
