Tattoo consultations in Sydney

 

I approach tattooing as a collaborative process, not a transaction. Every piece starts with a conversation, where we explore your idea, the story behind it, and the direction that best serves the final work.

 

I work with clients who value artistic guidance, trust the process, and are open to creating something personal, timeless, and well considered.

I’m Wilbert Olaya, a tattoo artist in Sydney, specialising in Black & Grey Realism and Illustrative Surrealism. Every custom piece starts with a conversation about your idea, placement and the direction of the work.

Consultation

​This session is designed for clients planning large scale, detailed, or story driven tattoos, including sleeves and custom concept work.

​

During the consultation, we take the time to explore your ideas, symbolism, placement, and overall vision. From there, I define a clear creative direction and outline the process before tattooing begins.

​

The one-hour consultation is $200. This fee is credited toward your tattoo project when you book within three months of the consultation.

The Process

​

I don’t take on every project and that’s intentional. Being selective allows me to give each piece the level of focus, care, and artistic integrity it deserves.

This process ensures:

​

• Strong, cohesive designs

• Thoughtful planning for larger projects

• A collaborative experience built on trust

​

I focus on considered, custom tattoo projects rather than copying another artist’s work. You can also enquire about one of my available original concepts.
​

If you’re looking to invest in a meaningful piece and are open to creative collaboration, you’re in the right place.

​

How to begin

All new projects start with a consultation. Once we’ve aligned on the concept and direction, sessions are planned accordingly.
