Fans of Taylor Swift are taking their love of the pop star to new levels

Swifties in one state are making their love for Taylor Swift known with the help of a local tattoo parlour.

Tens of thousands of Swifties descend on Melbourne for first night of shows

A Melbourne tattoo parlour is helping hordes of Taylor Swift fans make their support for the international pop star permanent this weekend.

Popular Fine Line Tattoos in Carlton is hosting a “flash tattoo event” across three days as thousands of Swifties flock to Melbourne for Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated Eras Tour.

The parlour is offering fans a variety of different Taylor themed tatts and one fan has taken to TikTok to share the moment she became a Tay Tay fan for life.

Digital creator Liz, who goes by Lizzie.mouse on social media, attended the event with her two work colleagues and captured queues stretching metres down the footpath of diehard fans waiting to get inked.

“We headed there straight after (our) night shift, so we got in line at about 7:30am,” she said in a Tik Tok video.

From short phrases to heart shaped sunglasses, fans of the musician can select from 22 different designs, all paying homage to a different era of Swift’s music.

The fine line tattoos designed by Melbourne Tattoo artist Cholo Caracciolo, all cost $200 each.

“There was no limit on how many you could get,” Liz said in her video as she shared the tattoo process with her followers.

“Obviously they had Taylor blasting, it would be rude not to.

“But then it was general tattoo stuff, you pick your stencil size, and your position and you can move it around if you choose”.
