Lasting Trace: A day in the life of a Melbourne tattoo artist.
This short film revisits renowned tattoo artist, Rob Abell, who gave me my first tattoo twenty years ago in Queenstown, New Zealand. Now both living in Melbourne, we reconnected to reflect on Rob’s journey, the evolution of the tattoo industry, and what it's like to work as an artist today.
