Tim Tavaria - Tattoo Artist

Based in Melbourne, I create custom Neo Traditional tattoos that honour the natural world through detailed, illustrative design. With over 15 years of experience, my work blends illustration with the human form specialising in neo traditional inspired pieces drawn directly onto the body for perfect flow and impact. The result is a unique approach to the style and each piece I create is strictly a 1 of 1. all ideas are welcome and I truely love working with my clients to realise their vision beyond their own expectations with the highest of standards.

Built on trust. Designed with intention

Tattooing isn’t just decoration it’s a reflection of your personal mythology. I work intuitively, drawing directly on the body to honour its shape, its movement, and your intention. A tattoo should feel intentional and a part of who you are. I strive toward reaching that goal with every client, making sure the tattoo sits perfectly on the body.
