FAQ

Are you regulated or licensed in any way?

Yes. The Health Department comes and inspects the shop twice a year. We are licensed under the skin penetration law.

What happens during the tattoo consultation?

During a consultation we try to get as much information as we can about the tattoo they want before we start drawing the tattoo. It also gives us a chance to get to know the customer a little bit to get a feel of what would suit the customer.

What should I do before my appointment?

You should always eat about an hour before your appointment and drink lots of water to stay hydrated.

Do you guys do piercings?

Yes, myself Rob Wog and Holly both specialise in piercing as well as tattooing.

Do you sell gift certificates?

Yes.

Do you accept walk-ins?

Yes we do. Myself, Rob Wog and Maisen love doing walk-ins. When I was a kid growing up, most tattoo shops were walk-in shops. I’ve always liked the challenge of tattooing on the spot.

Would you say the studio has a particular style it adheres to?

No, all artists at Down To Earth Tattoos specialise in different areas and forms of art in tattooing, so we can cater for everyone.

Reviews

“The wonderful Craig did the outline of my full sleeve and he was really great! He was really dedicated and focused, even after 6 hours of tattooing. This wasm first big custom tat and because Craig was so calm I was calm to which really makes a difference. I’m super excited to get it coloured!
I love that Down to Earth use vegan ink and the prices are good too. I highly recommend Down to Earth!”

“Thankyou Craig for your dedication & hard work on mine & Meagan’s tattoos yesterday! You did a stellar job getting them both done, staying up until the early hours to finish them both off to perfection � it was very much appreciated & we both have a stunning artwork that we can cherish forever �”

“Had a piece done by Gabby, a new apprentice and she was fantastic. A true perfectionist. The outcome was great!! And the other guys there were really friendly and easygoing. Made me feel really comfortable. Not to mention they’re really pedantic about hygiene which is awesome. Highly recommend these guys. ”

“YUna was so meticulous in her work. Perfect straight lines. She finished an old tattoo and I got a cat silhouette on my neck. Great work. Will 100% going back to her for the next tattoo under my ear. 10 out of 10 thanks you yuna”

“Absolutely the most humble, hygienic, friendly and welcoming tattoo parlour. Had the privilege of Gabby doing my two pieces I designed. Done completely freehand, this woman has talent!!��. Highly recommended Gabby for your next piece. #gabbyangiolino #downtoearthtattoo #lovemytattoos #inkmasters”
