Done with
hospitality,
dedicated to
the craft.
At 29, Paige Green walked out of a management career in hospitality that made her miserable and picked up a tattoo machine. It stuck. Since 2022 she's been drawing stories on skin at Iron Mayhem Ink, Tuggerah.
Soft girl,
sharp needle.
A decade managing venues — coffee roaster, funeral home, hospitality. Great with people, wrong stage.
Walked out of the misery business. Picked up a machine and never put it back down.
First pieces on skin. Fineline, florals and script became the signature almost immediately.
Resident at Iron Mayhem Ink, Tuggerah — booked through Instagram, growing an archive of keepsakes in fineline, floral and full colour.
Random facts.

Still unsure? DM @pg.tattoosStraight off the book page — pick your rough session length, choose a slot from her live calendar, send the brief and pay the deposit. That locks the chair on the spot. Paige talks the design through with you before your sitting, and references are welcome in the DM any time.
Every piece is custom — the final price depends on size, placement and detail. Send your reference and Paige will sort a quote in the DM. Deposits come off the final price.
Tiered by session — $50 short, $100 half-day, $200 full-day. It locks your slot and comes off the final price. Non-refundable, but transferable once if you reschedule in time.
Yes — once, with at least 48 hours notice. Your deposit rolls over to the new slot. No-shows forfeit it.
Paige finalises your design before the day and you'll see it in the chair — tweaks welcome on the spot. Got concerns in the lead-up? Message her as early as possible.
Yes — blackwork is very good at swallowing old ink. Bigger or darker pieces take planning and sometimes multiple sittings. DM a photo of the existing piece and Paige will tell you straight.
Yes — the studio stocks it for $30 a tube. Worth it for longer sittings or spicier placements. Full directions live on the aftercare page.
Honest answer: yes, but less than you think — and you forget within minutes of finishing. Sternum is spicy, forearms are pretty chill.
18+ — it's NSW law. Under 18 needs a signed consent form, written permission from a parent or legal guardian, copies of both IDs and the style + placement, all on one document, handed in before or on the day. Done properly or the appointment gets knocked back.
Two weeks for the surface to heal, 2–3 months to fully settle. The whole ritual — timeline, products, the dos and don'ts — lives on the aftercare page.
