For clients

Book a tattoo

Every artist here is independent and keeps their own books. Find the one whose work fits your idea, and message them straight.

  1. 1

    Find your artist

    Six artists, different hands. Pick whose style fits what you want — that choice matters most.

  2. 2

    Message them on Instagram

    Send placement, rough size, the style you are after and a couple of references. They will come back with a quote and a time.

  3. 3

    Come in and get tattooed

    We are at 35 Stubbs St, Kensington. Eat beforehand, bring water and something to occupy you if it is a long sit.

Not sure who to ask for? Message @mothergoose.tattoo with your idea and we will point you at the right hands.

Straight answers

Before you book

How do I book a tattoo at Mother Goose?

You book with the artist, not the studio.

More on this

Every artist at Mother Goose is independent and keeps their own books, so you message the one whose work fits your idea — their Instagram is on their page — and they take it from there.

What should I send when I get in touch?

Placement, rough size, the style you are after, and a couple of reference images.

More on this

If you are flexible on dates, say so — it usually means you get in sooner.

Do I need a consultation first?

For a large or custom piece, usually yes — most artists want to talk it through before drawing.

More on this

Small and flash work often goes straight to a booking. Ask your artist; they will tell you which it is.

How much will it cost?

Each artist sets their own rates, so the quote comes from them rather than the studio.

More on this

Send your reference and placement and they will give you a number.

Can you cover up or lighten an old tattoo?

Yes. Ink Off Laser is in the same building, so an old piece can be lightened on site before your artist starts drawing the cover-up. Talk to your artist first — they will say how many laser sessions it needs.

Bookings happen with each artist directly on Instagram.
