About Tattoos by James

Tattoos by James operates out of Skinblitz Tattoo on Vincent Street in central Cessnock, in the NSW Hunter Valley. It's a working collective that covers most styles of tattooing alongside body piercing and on-site laser work.

The team works across Japanese bodysuits, traditional, realism, geometric, dotwork and lettering, with cover-ups handled in-house thanks to laser lightening. Body piercing and laser tattoo removal round out the services, so reworks and fresh starts can happen under one roof, and aftercare products are on hand once a piece is done.

It suits anyone after a broad-styles studio that can take a project from consultation to aftercare, whether that's a first small piece or a larger custom build.
