Welcome!

Welcome to Vamp Body Art, a private tattoo studio located in the inner-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, adjacent to the CBD's popular East End.

Hi! This is the place where I share my tattoo art, hopefully in a somewhat organised way to make for easy access and reference, and perhaps some of my other art too. I hope you enjoy checking out my work, and get inspiration from what you see. I look forward to seeing you in the studio soon!
