Mystic Lounge Tattoo — Studio Shopfront

The brief

Strip out the existing white shopfront. Install a contemporary black aluminium replacement with branded gold-on-black fascia signage. Maximise glass area for interior visibility. Specify safety glazing for high-traffic shopfront use and toughened laminated glass at door level.

Our approach

We surveyed and produced design drawings to coordinate with the signwriter's brand artwork. The new shopfront uses slim-profile black aluminium framework with full-height glazing for maximum interior visibility. The fascia banner was supplied in matte black powder coat to receive the gold-leaf signage applied on site by the signwriter. Construction barriers were installed for pedestrian safety during the install — the surrounding shops remained trading normally.
