Very professional staff and beautiful studio. They made us comfortable and we knew we could trust the quality and cleanliness. Anna did our tattoo and she did a great job. They have very high standards - we wanted to get tattoos on our fingers or tops of our feet and they talked us out of it because of issues with fading and maintenance. The price was high - $180 for a very small all black tattoo. But it looks great, so we are pleased overall. Read Less

After a lot (and I mean A LOT) of research I chose this studio for my first tattoo and so glad that I did. I booked in with Lance after browsing his portfolio and loving his work, and really did have a great experience. I'm a real worrier, and after waiting 12-years to finally get this done (henna inspired forearm piece), I was absolutely on edge about the whole situation; from the design process, if I was going to jump with the first needle touch, how I would feel about it a...fterwards etc. Lance has been great in making me feel comfortable during the entire process (poor guy didn't know what he was letting himself in for!) Anytime I've voiced concerns, he has done nothing but make me feel totally at ease the entire time. He is very honest and professional in giving advice on what would or wouldn't work, and I really am in love with the final piece, it looks fantastic. The studio itself is great, everyone is really lovely and it sounds strange, but a really relaxing environment also with everyones' easygoing natures around. I loved looking at all the incredible work on the walls and going on around me, and also that the artists (when finished with their client of course) would go across to have a look at what the other team members were working on to comment on every aspect of it imaginable, from the tool used, the lines etc. They are all so passionate and professional - absolutely incredible talent in this studio that's for sure! My husband was not a fan of the idea at all (he is not a tattoo lover) and even he is blown away with Lance's work and really likes it! I'm already thinking about what I want for my next, and wouldn't go anywhere else! Thanks again to Lance and the team, I can't recommend you enough! :) Afficher la suite Read Less

My best friend lives in Sydney & we'd decided that when I visited from Perth we'd get a friendship tattoo. The lovely Hayley booked me a consult with Pete to discuss designs & my friend & I came back several days later to have the work done. Pete's design was quite different to what we'd envisioned but it was beautiful & after a few tweeks it was perfect. He is such a friendly guy & was happy chatting away with me while he was working, which was a great distraction from the pain. Hayley was on hand to answer all my questions & is a customer service star! I'd recommend authent/ink to anyone looking for great artists in a friendly comfortable environment. Thanks so much to Hayley & Pete, I absolutely love my new tatt!! Read Less

I recently had a large rib/side piece of a traditional phoenix completed by Kian Forreal. Kian's work is fantastic and I highly recommend him. After spending around 26 hours being tattooed over multiple session you get you know the studio very well and it was very clean and welcoming with the other crew members incredibly friendly and professional. I highly recommend getting a tattoo from Kian, or anyone else in the shop for that matter, as only the best are employed there. Read Less

Ning started my sleeve yesterday. Extremely professional environment and also very chill and good vibes from all the artists. The staff are always trying to make you comfortable and giving you the best experience possible. Ning is extremely talented and took the challenge of tattooing my skinny arm with ease. He is super friendly and very professional always adding to my sleeve trying to make it look the best he possibly could, he powered through a lot of work in one session with top notch quality tattooing. Can't wait to go back for my second session, amazing studio. Read Less

From the initial consultation through to aftercare, they provide all of the information required to ensure that your tattoo will last the test of time. I would recommend Authentink to everyone interested in getting the highest quality of tattooing. Once you check them out you won't need to look any further. Read Less

I recently had a full sleeve and chest plate completed by Kian Forreal of Authentink. Kian is an exceptional artist with over 20 years of dedicated experience behind him. His studio employs only top shelf artists. The studio is clean and welcoming and the artists take pride in their work. Like most good tattoo artists, Kian has a wait list - my advice is that if you're going to get inked, do it properly the first time. And remember, as with most things in life - you get what you pay for. I highly recommend Authentink and especially Kian Forreal. Read Less

Authentink was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so pleased. It's easy to see from their site that the artists do incredible work, but the whole experience of visiting the studio was wonderful. All the staff are professional, helpful and friendly, completely committed providing an excellent service. You really do feel welcome and important right from the initial email/phone call to arriving at the studio and discussions with your artist. I've now had two tattoos done by Lauren so have spent a few hours in the studio and from my observation my experience is absolutely the normal one at Authentink. Read Less

Totally different experience to any other parlour ice been to. Very professionally run, from cold drinks to meals to gun time and quality of seats and lighting this place is a must if you want the best. My artist, gus honey, was very professional and his work is great. I was just blown away by how different it is to the run of the mill tattoo parlours. Will be doing the rest of my work here for sure. 5 stars Read Less

Ning started my sleeve yesterday. Extremely professional environment and also very chill and good vibes from all the artists. The staff are always trying to make you comfortable and giving you the best experience possible. Ning is extremely talented and took the challenge of tattooing my skinny arm with ease. He is super friendly and very professional always adding to my sleeve trying to make it look the best he possibly could, he powered through a lot of work in one session with top notch quality tattooing. Can't wait to go back for my second session, amazing studio. Read Less

Authentink is probably the most professional tattoo shop I have ever seen. All of the staff are helpful and go out of their way to make sure the experience is a pleasant one. From the initial consultation through to aftercare, they provide all of the information required to ensure that your tattoo will last the test of time. I would recommend Authentink to everyone interested in getting the highest quality of tattooing. Once you check them out you won't need to look any further. Read Less

I recently had a full sleeve and chest plate completed by Kian Forreal of Authentink. Kian is an exceptional artist with over 20 years of dedicated experience behind him. His studio employs only top shelf artists. The studio is clean and welcoming and the artists take pride in their work. Like most good tattoo artists, Kian has a wait list - my advice is that if you're going to get inked, do it properly the first time. And remember, as with most things in life - you get what you pay for. I highly recommend Authentink and especially Kian Forreal. Read Less

Authentink was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so pleased. It's easy to see from their site that the artists do incredible work, but the whole experience of visiting the studio was wonderful. All the staff are professional, helpful and friendly, completely committed providing an excellent service. You really do feel welcome and important right from the initial email/phone call to arriving at the studio and discussions with your artist. I've now had two tattoos done by Lauren so have spent a few hours in the studio and from my observation my experience is absolutely the normal one at Authentink. Read Less
