Warrior Princess

Courage, above all things, is the first quality of a warrior. Zoe added a pinup to Michael’s great collection of tattoos.

Colourful Koi

Anita picked off the wall and added a new fish friend to her forearm. Healed strawberry tattoo and koi tattooed by Slippery Tom.

Farewell Fergus

Last week we said farewell to one of the original members of Melbourne Tattoo Company, Fergus Simms - whose hard work and dedication have earned him a coveted position at Smith Street Tattoo. A dream come true, to say the least.
We want to acknowledge Fergus’ impact on our shop’s success - we can’t imagine the last 9 years without him. An absolute honour and a pleasure. On behalf of the whole crew, we wish you all the best!

Pit of death

Oliver had the pleasure of adding the final touches to Greg’s bodysuit. The uncomfortable armpit was one of Greg’s last spots to fill. But Greg sat like a rock (as always) and walked away with a pit skull!

Doctor in the House!

We’re very happy to announce the arrival of MTCo’s newest artist Doc Wilson. For appointments email, send a DM or call the shop on 03 9602 2555.

Jack getting spooky

Fergus had the honour of tattooing a spooky tree on the great Jack Jourard. Jack makes delicious food out of the cafe downstairs; Captains of Industry Jack is also very handy with a video camera and great on a skateboard.

Fantastic beast

Afternoon meeting between workmates! Benny tattooed a winged beast on Jake’s thigh.

Farwell Rol and all the best for the future!

We begin the year without one of our oldest employees and friends. Rol has been working with MTCo since the early days. Taking care of the front desk and documenting the ins and outs of the shop with his trusty camera, he created a consistent visual narrative with his photos that helped document MTCo and help it grow. We wish Rol and his young family all the best for the future!

Check out Rol’s wedding photography via his website and instagram.

End of Year Bowlarama

Well 2022 is done and dusted! Thanks to all who came in and got tattooed!

To celebrate the year and the festive season break, MTCo visited The Keys in Preston! Photos by Rol.

Screaming Knee

Bianca came in to the shop to visit her old work mate Jake. She had her other knee tattooed by Jake at their old shop and dropped by MTCo to complete the set!
