Peter needs to sort out his way of talking to people and the professionalism needed for working with people. I got a band on my arm and was my first tatt. I got alot of attitude, unwanted comments and the lines werent even straight.

Luke and Pete are fantastic artists. I have had two sessions with Luke and his work is amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
He also tattooed my partner and it looks great. Pete has also tattooed my partner and again, can't say enough about the quality of the work here at Australian tattoo.

Saw an older guy there, Luke, he got a little difficult when trying to show him exactly what I was after, he wanted to do his own thing. He also went for a cash grab, overcharged and made way too many mistakes/messy parts for what you'd expect at shop price.
I returned , asked the owner to clear up what had been done but was given a foul, unprofessional, punk attitude. He cleared up a small portion of it and did some extra ink I requested which came out very good but still there is a huge! lack of professionalism here, I wouldn't go back!

I've had two pieces done here in the last month. I could not be happier with the result, the boys are a laugh and made it easy! Even for a (two visit) six hour piece, I felt looked after by Pete. Totally recommend and will come back if I decide on more work.

You know a business aren't struggling for customers when a person walks in and show's them their design, and they say "F@#k that! I ain't doing that, that's going to take too long!" An incident that happened when i was with a mate, which made me laugh my arse off.. :) Professional and classy they are not, rude and arrogant they are... But what they lack in professionalism they make up in quality and skilfulness of work... I've had 3 tattoos done and have been happy with all of them... My first tattoo with them was 16 years ago and it's still in excellent quality condition... One word of advice is don't take things to personally with them... Would i go back? It's the only place in Melbourne where i get tattoos done...
