Ink & Drink Geelong is taking over The Edge on Eastern Beach Road for a string of ink-fuelled art sessions with a twist. Think hands-on tattoo-style drawing workshops using synthetic skin, expert guidance from real artists, a few cheeky drinks, and a vibe that’s more house party than art class.
No experience? No worries. This event is open to all levels — from seasoned sketchers to total beginners who just like cool tattoos and good beer.
Each session runs for two hours, with a cosy 45-person cap to keep things social. You’ll learn real techniques like linework, shading, and colour blending — all using safe, pro-level tools on fake skin (so your mates don’t end up being test subjects). Every material is supplied, so all you need to bring is yourself — and maybe a mate or two who’s keen to get artsy.
Sessions run on:
- Friday, May 2 – 5:00PM & 8:00PM
- Saturday, May 3 – 2:00PM, 5:00PM & 8:00PM
- Sunday, May 4 – 2:00PM & 5:00PM
And while it’s definitely an Ink party, let’s not forget the Drink part — The Edge will be slinging your favourite pours all weekend long (just a heads-up: it’s non-BYO, so no sneaky stubbies).
Tickets are $89 a pop, and they’re moving fast — so if your idea of a good time includes tattoo flash sheets, banging tunes, and beers by the bay, this is your moment.
Book your spot online, roll up to The Edge, grab a drink, and let your inner tattoo artist run wild — no needles, no regrets, all vibes.
