What our clients say

We’re dedicated to providing our clients with the best possible experience at our tattoo studio. Your feedback matters!

I went to Dark Essence and seen Shane; he was amazing and made me feel so comfortable. He took the time to ensure I loved the tattoo and took his time to finalise all the finishing touches making it look amazing. I am so happy with the final result.

This store has to be the coolest athletic tattoo parlour I’ve ever been to! The staff and artists are incredibly lovely and the place is so hygienic and prices are great! So much talent I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I’ve got a few but if you are nervous and wanting your first tattoo I highly recommend going here. No doubt I’ll be revisiting for more soon .

Came here for my first professional tattoo with Ivan. He was very kind and very professional and I am so happy with the results of the 2 tattoos I got and also a touch up of an old stick and poke. Also there were lots of lollies which were definitely an added bonus. price is reasonable.

Wonderful experience, calm and inviting environment for a first tattoo. Communication was timely and everyone was really nice. Shane did a lovely job with the tattoo and gave great and informed suggestions which made the result turn out better than what I had expected. Thank you

Joe is an amazing artist and the tattoo turned out perfect and couldn’t have asked for any better, great studio and all artists and staff are friendly and welcoming. Will be going back for more
