Tora Sumi Tattoo

Late last year, I traveled overseas and got a tattoo at a highly-rated studio to honor my late mother. Unfortunately, the experience left me deeply upset, and I asked the artist to stop midway. Having had a positive experience with Tora in the past, I decided to return and met with Eduardo Tavares. We spent around 30 minutes discussing how to repair and transform the tattoo. Eduardo was incredibly patient, attentive, and full of creative ideas that aligned with my vision. When I left Tora, I was in tears — but this time, they were tears of joy. The result was beyond anything I could have imagined. The tattoo is absolutely beautiful and a perfect tribute to my mum, who truly was one in a million. A heartfelt thank you to Kahli for her support during the booking process, and an enormous THANK YOU to Eduardo for his artistry and compassion. I’m completely in love with my tattoo.

Myself and two of my best friends got matching tattoos done by Mattia. I first reached out to Mattia after seeing the amazing photos of tattoos he has done on his social media page that I had come across when looking for an artist. That’s exactly what we found in Mattia he is a true artist his work is amazing. We gave him our design and what we were hoping for it to look like with the colour incorporated into it that has a meaning for us three and our friendship and what he created for us was amazing it blew our expectations completely. If you are looking for a tattoo studio where you will get some awesome tattoos I definitely recommend going and seeing the guys at Tora Sumi you definitely won’t be disappointed. The staff there are very welcoming and knowledgeable. The communication from Mattia and the staff was on point and a very positive experience overall. We were made feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The studio is an amazing and unique place with true artists. We definitely will be returning for future tattoos with Mattia.

From the moment i walked through the doors, I was welcomed immediately and felt at ease. Absolutely in awe of my tattoo. Eduardo did an amazing job! Will definitely be back to Tora Sumi in the future for more. Thanks for looking after me.

Jay did my tattoo, he was amazing and even went above and beyond with the design and colour (which makes me love it even more) . It was my first tattoo and he made sure I was comfortable and talked me through the process so I wasn’t as nervous. He made sure it was not painful (which it wasn’t). Will be back again

I have been going to Tora Sumi since 2015. Everyone at Tora Sumi is welcoming and its a comfortable environment listening to the buzz of conversation and artists at work. I have only had tatts done by the same artist however they have specialists that cover all types of styles you can think of! Reasonable pricing and a location that is quite easy to find. No negatives here! Highly recommend. 🤩

So stoked, had a sleeve I wanted to rework and luckily found Mick Medusa who is a legend! Anyone wanting some old or not fantastic work uplifted and revamped highly recommend going to Mick. Lovely studio too. Will be back soon!

I got my first tattoo with the Tora Sumi studio, and Eduardo was my artist. The studio was clean, and each artist had decorated their small section with their own art and tattoo designs. I could see cleaning materials neatly set out at each station. The person at the front desk was upbeat and kind, and gave excellent customer service. Eduardo clearly has a high standard for his art. He printed multiple slightly different lengths of the sword to find the ideal size. After talking with him for a bit, I felt very confident leaving the final design in his hands. I was initially thinking of getting a black linework tattoo, but after mentioning colour and seeing his face light up, and his beautiful botanical art on the wall, I was really happy to get colour on the botanics in my tattoo. During the three and a half hour process we took a few breaks, and Eduardo made me feel very comfortable to initiate the breaks when and if I felt I needed them. I got to stop to have a look at it right before the colour time, and even without the colour it looked incredible. With the colour? Even better. He has managed to do a beautiful piece of botanical art, capturing key characteristics of the plant I wanted incorporated into the tattoo. The final piece looks better than I imagined it would. Moreover, the sword is very straight, and we all know straight lines are a pain in the arse to do, much more so on skin. It's been a week now since receiving the tattoo. There were no healing complications. Huge shoutout to Eduardo for this beautiful tattoo. I am incredibly pleased, and once I work out what I would like next, I will definitely be seeing if he's got room in his schedule to do the tattoo.

Eduardo was great, very friendly and relaxed. Walked me through the process for my first tattoo, stenciled it to make sure it was in the right position and made sure it was all to my liking. Tattoo came out great.
