Dusk and Bloom Studio: Reviews

Fantastic experience: I have wanted a tattoo by Luna for 9 years. NINE YEARS. The delay between the design and the action was entirely my own But I have now had the pleasure of having three sessions and every single one has been an absolute joy. Not only has the work been insanely incredible [I dance in front of mirrors a lot more often, simply to see her work move on my body] but the professionalism, the care, the love, the humour [the incredible amount of laughs I have laughed] the way she has indulged my [quite frankly sometimes ridiculous requests] and the INCOMPARABLE quality of the work makes me wish I could give this so much more than a simple 5 star review. If you, or someone you know are thinking of getting a colour tattoo in Cairns, there is not a single word in the English language [potentially any other languages] that could express how highly I would recommend both Luna and Dusk and Bloom as a studio

Hadassah Crowe Published on Google 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: George is honestly one of the most incredible artists I’ve ever met. Not only is her work insane, but her energy made the whole experience so fun and comfortable from start to finish. She took my ideas, understood the vision straight away and somehow created something even better than I imagined. Every part of the process exceeded my expectations, the design, the detail, the atmosphere, everything. Could not recommend her enough. Absolute weapon of an artist. I feel like I will never be able to thank you enough for what you did for me George

Fantastic experience: I'm absolutely happy with my tattoos from Luna. Her bubbly personality makes you instantly feel comfortable and welcomed. She is professional and absolutely talented. I will definitely go back. The studio was very clean and inviting.

Jonathan Hofmeister Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing Shop with a Great Vibe Dusk and Bloom is hands down one of the best tattoo shops I’ve ever been to. The vibe is incredibly cool—artistic, calm, and welcoming the moment you walk in. The entire space is spotless, clearly well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell they take cleanliness and professionalism seriously. The staff are super friendly, easy to talk to, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Whether you’re getting your first tattoo or adding to your collection, Dusk and Bloom is the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to.

Temika Monti Published on Google 1 year ago

Rhiannon Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I got a tattoo done yesterday by Claudia and I am floored by the artistic talent & attention to detail. It’s a custom design in dedication to my son and I LOVE it. The shop is clean and presentable with really lovely art on the walls, conversation was light and friendly and I felt very comfortable in the space. Looking forward to coming back

Sarah Patten Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Claudia enough! She managed to fit me in on one of my final days in Cairns and her fine line Orchid is soooo beautiful! I’ve had so many people ask me about it already. Thank you and I will definitely be back next time I’m in Cairns

shantelle Birch Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been tattooed by Gracie and Vanessa a fair few times over the past few years. Absolutely amazing studio and even more amazing ladies!! I’ve loved every minute from the moment I walk in to the moment I walk out, they make you feel really comfortable and at home in their amazing studio. I can also confirm you won’t go anywhere else!! I ended up getting a touch up from another artist (got it done by this artist) at another studio and it wasn’t the same so can confirm you ladies have a life long client that won’t go anywhere else My bestie also got a whole heap there as well as my boyfriend❤️ Love you ladies so freaking much you guys are amazing artists!! Can’t wait to book in another tattoo (Yes don’t worry it won’t be till next year Vanessa)

Remy Niven Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve only had the pleasure of being tattooed by the talented Tia, but I can’t recommend her enough! Her attention to detail is immaculate, and she’s genuinely such a kind and caring soul who puts her all into giving you an amazing piece of art! Her fine line is out of this world and I can’t imagine going to anyone else after the last 3 pieces she’s done for me! She makes the whole process so smooth and ensures she gives you nothing but the best. If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Olivia Keniry Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: LOVE! All of these girls are so incredibly talented and extremely nice. Tia has done six absolutely stunning pieces on me over the last few years and I couldn’t recommend her enough! From the booking through to the end result I am truly so happy and so grateful to her.

Chloe Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best tattoo artist ever! I was blessed to be tattooed by Vanessa back in 2020 where I flew from Brisbane and spent the day in cairns to have my rose tattooed on my inner arm. I am hanging out for when Vanessa reopens her books to have a design created for my leg! Still to this day have not come across another vibrant tattoo artist.

Jamila Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When anyone asks where to get a tattoo I'll always recommend Dusk & Bloom. I've been tattooed by both Grace & Vanessa - they are both very talented & professional. Grace recently did a small font tattoo & greyscale flower on my arm, its very neat and healed really well! At the time I didn't realise I couldn't get a tattoo while I was breastfeeding, the girls explained to me why this was & didn't make me feel pressured to go ahead with the tattoo if I didn't want to which I thought was really nice. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lisha Notting Published on Google 1 year ago

Jamie Penman Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got this little clownfish done yesterday and I absolutely love it! (Artist - Luna). Great atmosphere and total professionalism from both ladies. Would definitely recommend

Casey Adele Hampson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had the best experience with Vanessa (Luna) here the other day! I had admired her work on Instagram for years and knew she was the only person in the world I wanted to do a Steve Irwin tribute crocodile tattoo for me. Was so honored that she wanted to do it and was as excited as I was! She created the most beautiful crocodile with gorgeous flowers to make it perfectly girly and gorgeous. Her level of detail and use of colors is insane! I could not be happier with it! In addition to the amazing tattoo, my husband and I had the best day with Vanessa, Grace, and their apprentice Ziah. They were so fun, and created such an friendly awesome atmosphere that my husband unexpectedly stayed the whole day hanging out with us! Cannot say enough good things about these girls and their business. Wish there wasn’t 9k miles between Florida and Cairns! I’d have a whole collection of their work if I could!

Will Hagel Published on Google 2 years ago

Emma Farmer Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I honestly can not recommend these girls enough. I've been lucky enough to recieve two amazing tattoos from Vanessa (Luna), the first at a guest spot and the second in her studio. Vanessa and Grace are so welcoming and friendly, spending the day with them was so much fun and I hope to be back one day for more! They are extremely talented and truly create stunning art everyday.

Caine Mcardle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had multiple tattoos done of fantastic beasts creatures by Gracie and Vanessa who are both very talented and welcoming. I would give 100 stars for this amazing little studio and the artists if I could. I follow their work on Instagram and they have amazing artwork on there too. Booked in for a small piece with the apprentice Zia soon who has some awesome designs and artwork as well.

Haylee Fox Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience receiving a tattoo from Luna. Both her and Gracie have created such a welcoming and relaxing environment in their tattoo studio. By far the most enjoyable tattoo experience I've ever had. Luna is extremely talented and I am in love with my new ink! I can't stop dreaming of my next tattoo at Dusk and Bloom!

Troy Ison Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Grace and Vanessa are truly impressive artists. Their work is mind blowing can't rate them higher.

Melissa Martin Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: What a great few hours spent with Luna and Grace today with train conductor Jo along for morning tea.... I've been longing for my tattoo for months and finally had Luna ink me today! Very talented lady, such a beautiful looking piece. Thank you so very much for your hospitality and professionalism today❤️❤️

Chloe Kennedy Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Luna has done two pieces for me, for my two daughters. The second was done in her new studio, Dusk and Bloom. The piece I chose was not necessarily the work she likes to do these days but remembered me and booked me in anyway. They are collarbone tattoos that look so symmetrical and elegant, I get compliments on them all time. She was so incredibly lovely from my very first enquiry to my last tattoo. I highly recommend Luna to everyone!

Linda Putting Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is such an incredible tattoo shop. Two extremely talented and professional and sweet and friendly artist work there.. Venessa and Gracie.

Just love coming there. I shall definately be back for more beautiful art❤️❤️

Addi Lindsay Published on Google 3 years ago

Hannah Ekvoll Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had my first ever tattoo done by Luna (Vanessa) and it exceeded my expectations. I went in on my birthday and all the ladies sang happy birthday to me when I walked in. The atmosphere in the studio is so chill and a beautiful vibe. I highly recommend all people who feel intimated by tattoo parlours to go check these talented ladies out. Gracie does hyperrealism black/white/grey and Vanessa's colour tats are her specially! I'm already looking forward to more tattoos in the future and I will only go back to these ladies!

Kelly Moran Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa and Grace have created such an incredible, warm space with their studio. Their beautiful friendly dispositions and amazing talent make it an absolute pleasure to be tattooed there! I was recently blessed with my second amazing Luna Tattoo by Vanessa and I cannot wait to add more!

Aaron King Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dusk and bloom studio is a cool little studio run by Gracie and Vanessa. These girls are very talented artists and provide a great experience. I highly recommend their work

Inna Garratt Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you want to get a tattoo that will turn heads for all the right reasons, at a studio with the most talented artists then look no further. I’ve had 2 tattoos now from Vanessa (Luna) and will certainly be back for more. She takes so much care about her custom designs, really thinks about the colours, position and flow and takes her work seriously. Very professional and such a fun experience. 10/10 recommend.

Arwen Knight Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gracie was amazing, she put so much time and effort into the placement of my tattoo. It wasn't an easy spot to tattoo. It came out above and beyond what I expected. I felt super comfortable in the studio, it's such a beautiful space. Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had being tattooed.

Ruby Baumgaertner Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Immaculate vibes. Vanessa and Gracie are so warm, welcoming and make you feel so comfortable. I have been going to Vanessa for years and she always makes sure to constantly check in to see how you’re doing while getting tattooed (doesn’t matter if it’s your first or 20th!). These girls are so incredibly talented and I’ll never recommend anyone else!

Courtney Ling Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. Both Vanessa and Grace are so lovely and welcoming. Was such a pleasant experience in their studio. I’ve been given so many beautiful comments on my tattoo by Vanessa. Will definitely be back for more!

Danielle Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: 15/10. Could not recommend these women enough. The best vibes and the most amazing work. I’ve been getting tattoos from Vanessa for many years and I’ll keep coming back until I have no skin left.

Cathy Sola Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have had several experiences with this studio. The art work is thoughtful, personalised and done to an extremely high standard. The studio is clean, welcoming and safe. You really couldn't ask for a higher tattoo standard in Cairns.

Georgia H Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Visiting the girls at Dusk and Bloom has been my best tattoo experience so far and I will absolutely be returning for more. I was tattooed by Vanessa and I have never met an artist more passionate about their work. She was patient, attentive, warm and so friendly that I felt at ease immediately. Her art is precise and detailed, and she was extremely gentle. Thanks for the beautiful tattoo and the beautiful memory x

Leonie Mackedie Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gracie and Vanessa are incredibly talented artists and queens! I recently had a sensational experience getting a very meaningful and special tattoo. I was made to feel so comfortable, I was informed thoughroughly about every part of the process and much attention to detail was taken in getting my tattoo just right. My tattoo is perfect, it was everything I wanted and I felt heard throughout the whole process. I would 1000% go back to Dusk and in Bloom for another tattoo in the future

Jess Wieden Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa (Luna) was so accommodating and made my first tattoo a pleasant experience. Luna designed the most amazing art piece. Both Vanessa (Luna)and Gracie made the experience very enjoyable. Walking into the studio, it is so welcoming. I’ve had multiple people, comment on my tattoo and they know straight way it’s a Luna tattoo ☺️ I will be recommending the studio to everyone. They deserve more than a 5 stars ⭐️

Jay Carswell Published on Google 3 years ago

Jim Button Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Vanessa and Gracie are incredibly talented artists and great, lovely people. I don’t have any tattoos yet but I really love tattoos, especially their work. I have a big appreciation for what they are doing, how they live doing what they love the most. I always tell my mates who are coming up to Cairns that they should get tattooed by them in case they look for high quality tattoo artists. Keep up the with the good work guys, follow your passion and always stay down to earth. Also good to see you guys were able to fulfill the dream of opening up a studio despite all the big challenges within the last years. That’s why you never stop following your passion no matter what happens. Cheers Phil:)

Sammy-Jade Southey Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve only had one tattoo done by grace but I absolutely love it! Will definitely be a returning customer next time I’m in Cairns!

Michelle Liddy Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Gracie did additional work to an older tattoo and matched it in seamlessly. Tattooing over scarring on the soft part of the stomach, she created a stunning piece. She was fast and super gentle. Gracie is a truely talented sweetheart and the new space she and Luna have created feels so comforting. The energy in the place and watching them bounce ideas off each other makes for a truely wonderful studio. Cannot speak high enough of the girls and their new studio.

McGee Family Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just.can't.even! The talent from both of these amazing women is jaw dropping. I had my 7th tattoo, the 2nd by Luna, done 10 days ago now in their new (own!) studio and I just can't stop looking at it. Thank you Luna! And congratulations to the both of you for this new adventure you've begun

Fantastic experience: Awesome studio, awesome artists, good vibes all round

William Bellerby Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Two of my friends went and got tattoos here, they then met at my party and instantly kicked it off with a conversation about their tattoos, they had recognised that they were done by the same artist due to the care and respect she puts into all of her tattoos. These two friends are now dating. If you're looking for a good tattoo, this is the place.
