There's something personal about getting tattooed. It might be a design you've wanted for years, a piece of art you can't stop thinking about, or an idea that's been sitting in the back of your mind waiting for the right moment.

Whatever brings you to tattooing, finding the right studio and artist makes all the difference.

Located in Rosewater, South Australia, Scythe & Sparrow Tattoo is a studio built around creativity, individual style, and a genuine appreciation for the art of tattooing.

Meet the Artists

Every artist brings something different to the studio, from their artistic influences to the styles they've spent years developing.

Will has over a decade of tattooing experience, working across neo-traditional, realism, trash polka, Japanese traditional, colour, and larger custom pieces.

Jake brings over a decade of experience, specialising in large-scale black and grey realism and Chicano-inspired artwork.

Jamie is an apprentice developing his skills under Will's guidance, with an interest in illustrative and botanical designs.

We encourage you to explore each artist's portfolio, get a feel for their work, and find the style that best suits your vision.

Custom Tattoos, Fine Line Work and Cover-Ups

Not every tattoo starts with a finished design. Sometimes it's a collection of reference images, a concept you've been thinking about for years, or a piece of existing ink you're ready to transform.

Custom tattooing gives you the opportunity to explore an idea and develop a design around your preferences. Fine line tattoos offer a more delicate approach to detail and linework, while larger pieces can create room for more complex compositions.

If you're considering a cover-up, the existing tattoo, its placement, and your new design all play a part in what's possible. Speaking with an artist can help you understand your options and work towards a piece you're excited about.

Whatever direction you're considering, the first step is simply starting the conversation.

Your First Tattoo or Your Next Big Piece

Getting tattooed should be exciting, whether it's your first appointment or you're adding another piece to a growing collection.

If you're new to tattoos, take your time exploring designs, placements, and different artists. Ask questions, discuss your ideas, and make sure you understand how to care for your tattoo once your appointment is finished.

Proper tattoo aftercare is an important part of the healing process. Follow your artist's instructions, keep your tattoo clean as directed, and give your skin the time it needs to heal.
