Soul Inn House Custom Tattoo Art and Body Piercing Clinic is a well established Studio In Melbourne, Australia.
The Clinic was created in 2002 by Clare Keton, who is a well travelled artist having had experiences working at studios and tattoo conventions in many parts of the world.
Long time colleague/apprentice and friend Wendy Pham has worked with Clare since the doors opened and has helped to create the hub of artistic desire. Both artists are setting a bench mark for tattooing. Joined by them are Terrell, a Soul Inn House artist of many years, also taught the trade by Clare, and Matt, who is currently completing his apprenticeship.
The Clinic reflects Clare's love for and specialty in Japanese style tattooing, which she has become renowned for. The team are dedicated to quality custom design and inspiration is bountiful as one looks around the rooms at the Clinic.
Soul Inn House is in this for the long haul, the ripening and harvest, not the quick fix.

Contribute to good causes!

Some good causes to be aware of!

Proceeds of $500 have been contributed by Clare from her charity tattoo day, given to the WWF's "Heart of Borneo" Project to save the Orangutans.http://support.wwf.org.au/heart-of-borneo.html

$300 was also given to Queensland Marine Turtles, which are dying of fibropapilloma virus due to chemical run-off washed into the sea by Cyclone Yazi. They are also dying of starvation from their feeding grounds being covered by debris from the cyclone. Immediate action needs to be taken to save these amazing creatures! http://wwf.org.au/turtle

And finally, education shouldn't be f***ed with!http://www.facebook.com/SaveSteinerAtFootscrayCityPrimarySchool
