Classic Tattoo Designs (ART NIGHT OUT)

Wild Learning hosts fabulous Paint & Sip style Art Workshops @ Qirkz in the Hunter!

Paint a Classic Tattoo Design
Old-school ink meets paint & sip fun @ Qirkz in the Hunter

No needles, no regrets — just canvas, colour, and classic tattoo vibes.

At this laid-back art night, you’ll paint your own mini masterpiece inspired by vintage tattoo flash. Choose from bold, timeless designs like I ❤️ Mum, red roses, swallows, skull and crossbones, pin-up girls, anchors, or classic sailor icons and bring it to life in your own style with vibrant acrylic paints.

You’ll get a tracing template to make things easy — no drawing required — plus step-by-step guidance to help you create crisp outlines, strong colour, and that signature old-school tattoo look.

💀 Pick your flash: from skulls to swallows, roses to rockabilly pin-ups
🖌️ Paint on canvas with bold acrylics and classic colour palettes
🎨 Use tracing templates — no stress, just fun
🍻 Sip, paint, and enjoy a night of cool tunes, good company, and no pressure

Come solo or bring your crew! Either way, you’ll walk out with a painting that’s got bite.

🎟 Only 25 seats available. These unique nights book out fast.

“I never thought I could paint, but I walked out with something I’m SO proud of — and I laughed all night!” – Jenny R.

Do I need to be artistic? Not at all — we promise you’ll surprise yourself.
Can I come alone? Absolutely — lots of people do, and we’ll make sure you feel welcome.

🍷🍕 Food and drinks
