Namakubi

Namakubi (生首) tattooed by Matt Wisdom on Mick tonight.

A severed head or Namakubi symbolizes courage, strength, dignity, facing mortality with honour, and the impermanence of life, and it can be a frightening warning to onlookers. Excellent subject matter for a traditional Japanese tattoo.

Matt is now taking bookings for September and beyond! Email Matt here, send through a tattoo enquiry or call Melbourne Tattoo Company on 03 9602 2555.

RIP Ozzy

It’s clear how much Ozzy’s music has shaped the atmosphere in any tattoo shop over the years, his music is definitely on high rotation at Melbourne Tattoo Company. His sound, whether it’s the raw power of Black Sabbath or the theatrical nature of his solo work, brings a distinct energy to the space. Maisen often channels that heavy metal energy into his tattoos highlighting the deep connection between music and art, going far beyond just listening.

Flash sheet painted by Maisen and a handful of tattoos he tattooed in the days after Ozzy’s death honouring the Prince of Darkness.

For bookings & enquiries with Maisen, send him a DM or call the Tatt Co on 03 9602 2555.
