We are located in unit 201, 342 Elizabeth Street, Surry Hills, on level 2 of Sydney’s historic Hibernian House, just a stone’s throw from Central Station.

It’s the big old green building on the corner of Elizabeth and Kippax Streets.

The entrance is next to the art gallery.

Press 201 on the intercom and we’ll buzz you in.

Since we work by appointment only, we do not have set trading hours.

When you make a consultation or tattoo appointment you will be given available time slots by your chosen artist.

While we encourage clients to arrive via public transport, as we are right next to Central Station, if you must drive there is paid parking available at Wilson Parking on Holt Street, or street parking by the hour on Kippax Street.

Yes, but we recommend arriving alone if possible, as we have limited space and cannot let friends and family into the tattoo area.

Minimum charge for tattoos is $200.

Yes, walk-ins are welcome. However, it is recommended that you call, text, or email ahead to make sure there is an artist available.

No, sorry we only do tattoos. There are many great piercing shops around the area, just check google maps.

You must be 18 years or older to get a tattoo in NSW.

All customers must present their photo ID on arrival.

We do not tattoo anyone under 18, with or without parental consent.

Yes.  Deposits are always necessary to secure tattoo appointments.

This is basically a down payment to let your artist know you are fully committed to getting the tattoo. 

Deposits are usually paid at the time of consultation to secure the tattoo appointment/s, and deducted from the total cost at end.

If a tattoo requires multiple sessions, the deposit will be deducted from the total cost of the final tattoo session.

Deposits are only refundable under very special circumstances.

Each artist has their own deposit rates and conditions, so please discuss this with your artist. 

We require at least 1 week’s notice to cancel or postpone tattoo appointments.

If less than one week’s notice is given, your deposit will be forfeited, and you will have to pay another deposit to secure the next tattoo appointment.

We may make exceptions for genuine emergencies, but we ask that our customers carefully consider budgets and time constraints before committing to the tattoo, as each artist spends a lot of time preparing for each tattoo, and bookings are usually made well in advance.

Each artist at Hibernia charges different rates, so please discuss this with your chosen artist.

Most artists prefer cash.  There are ATM’s very close by.

We also accept bank transfer and Paypal.

All payments are required to be paid immediately after the tattoo session is complete.

Yes, we are fully licenced and health department approved.

We take great care to ensure the safety of our customers and our artists, by using single use needles and equipment to eliminate cross contamination, combined with daily cleaning of all surfaces using hospital grade cleaning and sterilizing equipment and detergents.

We adhere to strict guidelines laid out by NSW Health Dept., making it extremely safe to be tattooed at Hibernia.

Yes.  We have elevator access to the studio on level 2.

We are more than happy to accommodate anyone with special needs, so please let us know if you require assistance in any way.
