Services
Custom Tattoos
Our custom tattoos involve collaborative design consultations to translate client ideas into unique body art. Artists spend extensive time refining concepts, ensuring each piece reflects personal stories and preferences. Clients receive detailed drawings for approval before tattooing begins, guaranteeing satisfaction with the final design.
Japanese Tattoos
Specialising in traditional and neo-traditional Japanese designs, our artists create large-scale pieces with intricate details. The process includes multiple design drafts and placement planning to ensure cultural authenticity and visual impact. Each tattoo combines heritage elements with modern techniques for lasting quality.
Portrait Tattoos
Portrait tattoos capture lifelike representations of people or characters through advanced shading and detail work. Artists use photographic references to achieve accurate likenesses, focusing on facial expressions and depth. The studio provides guidance on size and placement for optimal visual impact.
Realism Tattoos
Realism tattoos transform images into high-detail body art using advanced shading techniques. Artists work closely with clients to select reference material and adapt designs for skin contours. The process ensures photorealistic results that maintain clarity and depth over time.
Female Artists
Our female artists specialise in various styles, offering fresh perspectives and creative approaches. They focus on client comfort and collaborative design, ensuring tattoos align with personal aesthetics. Their portfolios showcase versatility in both intricate and minimalist designs.

Getting my third tattoo a large calf piece with a new artist in pure vision I was a bit nervous. But the owner & staff put me at ease they're very friendly, patient and understanding. I highly recommend even the toilet facilities were nice and tidy too Hahaha.

I researched for weeks to find the right artist. Louie sounded relaxed and enthusiastic on the phone and suggested I drop by to meet Ross. I walked in to Pure Vision without a formal appointment. Ross had an opening and was the perfect match for a particular, slightly nervous me. I walked out with a beautifully detailed cherry blossom tattoo. Ross may or may not be happy to hear Im already planning my next tattoo, which I hope he will agree to do!

Have been tattooed by Tam for a decade and she does fabulous work. Lou and the rest of the talented artists there give you a wide range of styles to choose from whatever style you like. I recommend them to all my friends.
