Mallory

Mallory Gardiner is an artist, tattooer, and steady anchor in the room. Originally from the Macedon Ranges, she relocated to the Northern Rivers nine years ago, where her tattooing practice deepened through creating with and for others.

Her work is rooted in ancestral and ancient cultures, with strong influence from nature and elemental connection. Each tattoo is drawn from within and brought into form to mark moments of transformation. For Mallory, tattooing is a sacred and intentional process of creation and connection, with care held for the wearer.
