About The Sweet Life Tattoo Shop
The Sweet Life Tattoo Shop is a custom studio on High Street in Northcote, in Melbourne's inner north. It works across custom commissions and walk-in requests from a team of resident artists.
The crew brings international experience and a spread of styles, from traditional and Japanese-influenced work through to neo-traditional blackwork and darker, bold designs. Flash is kept on display for anyone who would rather pick a ready-made piece, and the artists describe themselves as friendly, professional and approachable, which reads in a relaxed, decor-heavy shop rather than a clinical one. The mix suits both people planning a larger custom project and those wandering in for something smaller.
With walk-ins accommodated alongside booked work, it functions as a flexible neighbourhood shop on one of Northcote's main strips.
