Every style, one studio
Whatever you're after, there's someone here who lives and breathes it. Find your style, or just tell us your idea and we'll match you to the right artist.
Why people come to us
01
Specialists, not generalists
Every artist here is known for a particular style, so you're placed with someone who works in yours every day, not a shop where one person turns their hand to everything.
02
A considered space
A light-filled, gallery-style studio in the heart of Fitzroy. Calm, elevated, and a world away from the dim back-alley cliché, and a room you'll happily settle into for a longer session.
03
Custom, or curated flash
ring your own concept and we'll design it around you, or choose from our curated flash. Either way, it's original artwork, considered and made to last.
04
Meticulous and safe
Fully licensed and immaculately clean, with clear pricing and honest aftercare from your very first message.

FAQs
Do you take walk-ins, or do I need to book?
Yes, we welcome walk-ins. If you'd like a specific artist, though, please send an enquiry first so we can make sure they're available.
How do I pick an artist?
Have a look through the styles and portfolios above, or just tell us your idea and we'll match you with whoever suits it best.
Do you do custom work and flash?
Both. Bring your own idea and we'll draw it custom, or pick from our flash if you'd rather something ready to go.
Do you do consultations?
Yep, especially for bigger or more detailed pieces. It's the best way to plan it properly. Smaller pieces can usually be quoted straight from your enquiry.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes. A tattoo at Umbra makes a solid gift for anyone who's been meaning to get something done. Grab a gift card here.
