What people get wrong
Tattoo studio first. Barbering is one desk in the same room. Book the service you actually want. Closed Sunday. House site has 500ed. Call 0493 601 479. We last walked this on 2026-09-17. Hours move with the week. Checking the shopfront keeps the night easy.
What is Sonder Studios known for?
Ink first. The glass says TATTOO and BARBER. Coffee sits on the machine inside. inkLocate: shopfront studio, black and grey and cover-ups among the work. FindMe: resident artists including Lenon, Grant, Carlo and Mickey. Treat those names as a directory snapshot, not a roster you can quote without asking who is on today.
The window still runs the sonder line: every passerby has a life as vivid as your own. That is the brand, not a menu. Flash and walk-ins happen when the floor says so. Saturday dies at 3pm.
Pho Tam is noodles on Leeds. Rudimentary is coffee around the corner. NP Legal is Suite 18 in the same stack of jobs. None of them will tattoo you. Studio Zero is Joseph Road scissors. Do not mash the river barber with this room.
How do you book, and what do you bring?
Call 0493 601 479 or email sonderstudioscollective@gmail.com. Say tattoo consult, flash, or haircut. ID for ink. Photo for a cut. Do not book a fade and sit in the tattoo chair by accident.
Council ran an Open House at this door, flash tattoos, iced coffee, Maddern Square World Cup on the big screen. That was a Sunday event, not the weekly clock. Weekly trade is still closed Sunday.
If the house site 500s, the phone still exists. inkLocate and FindMe still print 38 Leeds. Do not treat a dead Squarespace as a closed studio until the glass agrees.
Hours and which door
Closed Sunday and Monday. Tuesday 10am-6:30pm, Wednesday 10am-6pm, Thursday 10am-7pm, Friday 9am-6pm, Saturday 9am-3pm. Quoted from inkLocate and FindMe. Public holidays override it. Last checked 2026-09-20.
38 Leeds Street, Footscray 3011, Maddern Square. Match 38. Match TATTOO / BARBER on the glass. It is not G1A/4 Joseph Road.
The photograph is the 38 Leeds shopfront from inkLocate: SONDER STUDIOS on the window, barber pole, coffee machine inside. It is this door. It is not Studio Zero.
How do you get to Sonder Studios?
Footscray station, one block to Leeds, market side, Maddern Square. Pho Tam is the noodle neighbour. Read 38. Leeds hides law suites above shops. The ground-floor glass is the studio.
Street parking is short. Do not use Irving unless you were already at the market. After dark leave via Barkly or Hopkins. Leeds is not the night shortcut.
If you wanted scissors in the river precinct, Joseph Road. If you wanted pho, name Pho Tam. If you wanted a solicitor, Suite 18, different buzzer.
What do people mix up about Sonder Studios?
They book a haircut and mean a tattoo. They send a Leeds search to Joseph Road. They trust a dead website as a closed door. They walk in Sunday.
