The Studio
One artist. One room.
One client at a time.
Pale Moth is the private practice of Juno Ó Riain — seven years tattooing, the last three in her own quiet home studio off Oxford Street. No walk-ins, no shared room, no loud flash day. Every client is the only client in the room that day. Work spans delicate fine line, traditional Americana with a soft palette, and fully bespoke commissions built out of a first-sit conversation and a set of reference sketches.

- Single needle & traditionalDelicate linework to bold blackwork — in the same practised hand.
- Fully sterile setupSingle-use needles, medical-grade sterilisation, licensed council registered.

Notes from the chair.
“Juno took the scribble I emailed her and turned it into something I genuinely stop and look at in the mirror. The studio itself feels like a tiny ritual — candles, records, a pot of tea.”

“She covered up a piece I'd had since I was 19 and hated for a decade. First consult I actually felt listened to. Final result is honestly better than the original was ever going to be.”
Miles R.
Cover-up · upper arm
“I'm a collector — I've sat with a lot of artists. Juno's line work is some of the cleanest I've got and the home-studio pace is something I didn't know I needed until I had it.”

Bookings
How it works.
- What does the consultation process look like?
- Start with the enquiry form — references, placement, size, any context you feel like sharing. I'll reply within a few days to let you know whether it's a fit for my hand, and if so we'll book a paid 30-minute in-studio consultation where we nail down design, size and date. The $80 consult fee is credited against your first sitting.
- How does aftercare work?
- You'll leave with a clean wrap, a written aftercare sheet, and a small aftercare balm tin included in the sitting. I'll also check in by text at the 48-hour and 10-day marks. Any questions during healing, message me first before Dr Google.
- What's the deposit policy?
- A non-refundable $150 deposit secures your booking and is deducted from your final sitting. Deposits are transferable once to a new date with 7+ days notice. Less than 48 hours notice or a no-show forfeits the deposit — it covers design time already done.
- Do you take walk-ins?
- No. The studio is a private residence and appointment-only. The closest thing is the twice-yearly flash day, announced on Instagram a fortnight ahead with a booking window. Everything else goes through the enquiry form.
