Clear communication during the consultation is essential in making sure time is spent effectively during the appointment.

We understand that getting a tattoo can be an intimidating experience. At our studio, we prioritise creating a comfortable environment for clients. Due to limited space, we kindly request that you come alone to your appointment or have your friend wait in our designated waiting area. If your friend prefers, they can also explore the surrounding area during your session.

To ensure a smooth experience, please consult with your artist beforehand to determine the best arrangement for the day.

At Laneways Tattoo, we value the importance of creating a safe environment where artists and clients can interact.
We understand that some tattoos may require a higher level of privacy, and not everyone feels comfortable in an open setting.

That's why we provide screen dividers that can be assembled around your artist's station to ensure your privacy during the tattooing process. Our artists will typically offer this option if your tattoo is in a more private area, but feel free to request it if you prefer. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities at Laneways Tattoo.

While our studio primarily operates on an appointment-only basis, we do understand that sometimes you may be looking for a small or last-minute tattoo. Although most of our artists prefer bookings made in advance, we can sometimes accommodate walk-ins with our resident artists who have available time slots. We usually post on our instagram story if there is space available. If you're interested in a spontaneous tattoo or have a smaller design in mind, please feel free to send us an email and we'll do our best to accommodate you.

We accept cash and offer Eftpos/Debit cards, Credit cards 3% surcharge.

We know this process can be a little scary especially for people wanting their first tattoo.

How we work is very simple, you can email: bookings@lanewaystattoo.com

Feel free to swing by the studio and book a consult with an artist of your choice.

If you don’t know who you would like to see we will assign the best artist for the tattoo.

For the consult we ask you to come prepared with a few things:

- Reference images

- Size of tattoo (cm)

- Position of tattoo

- Changes you want added to the piece

- Additional requests

At the consult you can ask your artist questions about the session and what you need to do prior to coming in.

From the consultation the artist will know how many hours the piece will need and quote you accordingly. We then bring you to the front desk where our booking manager Sam will find a day and time that suits both the artist’s schedule and yours.

We ask for a $100, $200 or $400 deposit for every tattoo we book in, the amount depends on how large the tattoo is. (For deposits info please look at our deposit policy section).

From here the artist will prepare your design and have it ready for your booking!
