About Man's Ruin Tattoo

Man's Ruin Tattoo is a long-running studio on Carlisle Street in St Kilda, working out of one of Melbourne's busiest bayside strips since 2014.

The shop runs a sizeable crew of resident artists and keeps an easygoing, come-as-you-are feel. Appointments are the norm but walk-ins are genuinely welcome, and the booking form makes room for a preferred artist and reference images. That mix suits people arriving with a considered custom idea as much as those chasing something more spontaneous on the day.

It reads as an approachable neighbourhood shop rather than an exclusive one, geared toward collectors and newcomers alike.
