About High Hopes Tattoo

High Hopes Tattoo is a classic and custom tattoo studio on Crown Street in central Wollongong. It runs as a multi-artist shop, with several resident artists each taking their own bookings.

The studio pairs traditional, classic tattooing with custom design work, so the roster covers a fair range of styles under one roof. Alongside tattooing, an on-site laser removal service handles fading and full removal, which makes it a practical option for cover-up planning or clearing older work.

Booking runs through each individual artist, which suits people who prefer to choose their artist by portfolio rather than by chance.
