THE ART & EXPERIENCE

I approach tattooing as a collaborative and considered process… Creating pieces that feel personal to the person wearing them, while making the experience of being tattooed just as thoughtful and meaningful.

My work is drawn from the natural world, symbolism, clean lines and soft textures, with an emphasis on creating tattoos that feel both delicate and enduring ~ designed to age beautifully in the Australian sun.

My name is Estelle, and I’ve been tattooing for 14 years.

I began tattooing through a professional apprenticeship and have spent the years since exploring a wide range of styles and techniques.

I enjoy making tattoos that feel personal, beautifully considered and connected to the person they belong to.

The process of getting tattooed by me

Enquire via email

I’m excited to hear from you! Send through your idea, a rough size in cm and placement on your body with any supporting reference images. I’ll respond with a quote, and a link to my calendar where you can find a time that suits.

1

In the lead up, you’ll receive a drawing to make edits to

2

Each tattooer has their own drawing policy, but I like to send you a design before our date (the week of) for you to eyeball and make any necessary changes to (within reason). I find this makes for a much more calm, smooth and intentional appointment.
Note: My drawings are my own intellectual content that are copyright protected. They’re not to be taken, used or tattooed elsewhere.

Head into the studio for your appointment

3

I tattoo out of my own studio Good Karma Tattoo in Charlestown (Newcastle) NSW. I endeavour to make appointments as comfortable as possible, with plenty of time for breaks, lunch for longer sessions all the while keeping the session highly productive.

Support after your tattoo

You can contact me at any time you have questions in the aftercare process, and a touch up session is free within three months of the tattoo being done.
