What You’ll Love About Working with Catching Hands Ink For Your Melbourne Wedding:
"Such a clean, vibrant environment. My experience was calm and the result was phenomenal. I’ve never had a tattoo experience that didn't leave me feeling sickly." — Jullie-Anne"
Catching Hands Ink creates a pop-up tattoo station tailored to you and your event. Before the day, they design a custom flash sheet for guests to choose from, inspired by your wedding, style, or celebration. It is a fun, personal way to add an interactive element to your reception while giving guests something they can take with them long after the final song.
Their team handles the full setup, including the floor, stencil station, information table, chair, armrest, checkered flooring, and tattoo toolbox. They require at least a 2x2 metre area and will liaise with your venue around council compliance requirements. With a clean, organised station and both a tattoo artist and tattoo assistant included, Catching Hands Ink keeps the process smooth, guest-friendly, and considered from start to finish.

I bring a fully self-contained mini tattoo setup to your venue. Guests choose from a custom flash sheet designed to match your vibe, sign consent forms, and get tattooed during the event. It becomes part entertainment, part wedding favor.
Absolutely. Everything used is single-use and disposable where required, and all equipment is handled using professional hygiene standards. I work with hospital-grade disinfectants, barrier protection, and sterile supplies.
Yes. That’s one of the best parts. I can create designs inspired by:
Usually no. High-maintenance placements like hands, fingers, ribs, necks, and faces are generally avoided during events to keep timing smooth and healing predictable. We tend to stick to arms and legs, but rules can always be bent for the couple getting married.
If timing allows, yes. Additional hours can usually be added during the event, and are invoiced after.
Because nobody keeps a candle forever, but people keep tattoos forever. It turns your wedding into an experience people genuinely remember.

Get Expert AdviceIs it okay to skip the dance floor at our wedding?
We are planning a restaurant reception for 100 guests but neither of us likes to dance, and our families aren't big on it either. We want the night to feel like a dinner party focused on great food rather than a traditional party. We are considering replacing the dance floor with a dedicated conversation lounge or a space for our live illustrator, but we want to make sure the evening still feels celebratory and not just like a quiet dinner.

How about a super unique wedding favor!
What's the best wedding favor you've ever gotten? Do you remember any?
It's gotta be niche and cool, but also something people want and won't throw away.
Obviously we're a bit partial to having a pop up tattoo station at your cocktail hour, for little flash tattoos that everyone get to have for life, we promise people will never stop talking about it! How memorable and slightly wild and fun.
We also love ideas like custom incense, custom seed packets, things people can actually use, and dont end up on a shelf collecting dust.
We want our dog in our wedding. Any tips?
Would love some advice! We def want to include our dog in our wedding! We want him as the ring bearer. Are they are any things to avoid or prepare for in advance? Thanks!

Absolutely. Honestly, a lot of modern weddings are moving away from the “everyone awkwardly standing around a dance floor” thing and leaning more into interactive experiences instead. The best weddings usually feel like the couple, not just a checklist of traditions.
You can replace a dance floor with things people actually mingle around naturally:
I’ve even seen weddings where the “main activity” was tiny flash tattoos and people talked about it for months afterwards because it gave everyone something to do together instead of just dancing to Mr. Brightside for the 400th time ??
At the end of the day guests remember atmosphere and experience
