A new chapter

We’re moving to Miriam Vale

After years on Round Hill Road in Agnes Water, the studio is heading inland to a brand new home in Miriam Vale, and a new name to go with it.

“While our address is changing, everything else stays the same, the same quality work, and the same passion for creating tattoos you’ll love.”

How it works

From an idea on your phone to ink that lasts

01

Send your idea

Call, email or message on Facebook. A photo of what you have in mind helps Ian get started before you arrive.

Ian draws it up

He will fix up an existing design, free draw a new one, or work from your own artwork until it is right.

03

Tattoo day

Relaxed and unhurried. First timers and nervous clients say they felt at ease straight away.

04

Aftercare

You leave knowing exactly how to look after your new tattoo while it heals.

“He explained everything that we needed to do to take care of our new tattoos and the text the next morning just shows how passionate he is about his customers and his work.”

The artist

Ian Walker

Ian is originally from England and has spent years tattooing the Discovery Coast from the little black and white studio on Round Hill Road, Agnes Water, next to 1770.

The Agnes Tattoo Studio name goes back to 2014. Locals, holidaymakers and people passing through on a trip up the coast have all left with his work, and plenty come back for the next one.

He is a fully qualified tattoo artist, happy to fix up a design you already love, work from your own artwork, or draw something from scratch. First timers and nervous clients keep saying the same thing: he made them feel comfortable straight away.

Ian was so friendly, professional and made me feel at ease straight away, even though it was my 4th tattoo it had been awhile and I was a little nervous. I sent a photo of the tattoo in advance and he had free drawn it fixing it up so it looked amazing. I could not be happier with the end result and if I'm ever in Agnes Water again I will definitely book in with Ian again.

Ian is fantastic! He was so accomodating, his work is beautiful and honestly I had the best experience. I got one of my own artworks and one of his designs and couldn’t be happier. Already planning my next tattoos on our next trip to Agnes Water.
