The wait is over. NINja Ink Tattoo is officially opening its doors as an independent studio in Darwin! For the past few years, our founders Nini Beltran-Bullard and Jack Bullard have been the resident creative forces and lead contractors at Lelei Ink. Today, we are thrilled to announce that we are taking over the space and relaunching as NINja Ink Tattoo Darwin—your premier destination for world-class custom art in the Northern Territory.
From Hanoi to the NT: Our Global Journey
While our name is new to the Jape Village storefront, our legacy spans over a decade. The story of NINja Ink began in 2013 in a small apartment in Hanoi, Vietnam. From those humble beginnings, Jack and Nini grew NINja Ink into a world-renowned flagship studio known for precision, vibrant colors, and a "family-first" atmosphere.
In 2014, we opened our first professional studio on Nghi Tam, a risk that established us as industry leaders. Now, we are bringing that same "Creative OG" energy and 30+ years of combined experience to our own independent studio in Millner, Darwin.
What’s Changing? (Hint: Only the Name!)
If you’ve been tattooed by us while we were at Lelei Ink, you already know the quality of our work.
By transitioning to NINja Ink, we are able to fully implement our signature studio ethos:
The Same Elite Artists: Nini remains Darwin’s specialist in vibrant watercolour and realism, while Jack continues to lead the NT in animation-inspired and high-saturation designs.
A Refined Experience: Expect a collaborative, professional, and sterile environment focused on custom design tattoos and high-end fine line work.
Premium Materials: We continue to use the highest quality vegan inks and state-of-the-art equipment.
