Preview your tattoo before your Melbourne appointment
Photo
With designMelbourne's tattoo community sits within a broader arts and culture scene that encourages experimentation. Fitzroy, Collingwood, and Brunswick studios produce work that pushes beyond convention — but "experimental" tattoos require even more careful previewing, because the unexpected is harder to walk back from.
InkBefore lets you see the experiment in a real photo before it's permanent. Try the bold idea, the unusual placement, the scale that might be too large — and see what it actually looks like on a real photo. If it works, you have confirmation. If it doesn't, you've saved yourself a difficult removal conversation.
