For generations, Melbourne built a reputation that drew tattoo artists and collectors from across the globe. Today, that reputation is being challenged in ways that few people saw coming.
Through rare interviews, personal stories, and a journey into the city’s tattoo culture, Here To Stay uncovers the history, personalities, and defining moments that shaped Melbourne into a global tattoo destination, while asking an important question about where it goes next.
Featuring some of Australia’s most respected tattoo artists, this documentary is for anyone interested in tattooing, tattoo history, Australian culture, and the stories behind one of the world’s most iconic tattoo scenes.
