About True Addiction Tattoo & Body Piercing
True Addiction Tattoo sits on Johnston Street in Fitzroy, a long-standing strip for Melbourne tattooing. The studio was designed and built by a veteran tattooist with more than thirty years in the trade, and combines custom tattooing with a dedicated piercing service.
The space leans into a gallery feel — polished concrete, original artwork across the walls and a separate private piercing room — while keeping the tone relaxed and inclusive. Pricing is deliberately flat and transparent, and the studio makes a point of looking after nervous first-timers as much as seasoned collectors.
Custom work is the focus, from small flash pieces to large-scale designs, with free consultations available in person or by video call.
