Taylor Swift fans in Australia are inking their love for the star, forever and always.

Hundreds of Swifties flooded tattoo parlors in Melbourne, Australia, ahead of Swift’s Eras Tour stop there to get a Swift-themed tattoo — with some fans even waiting in long lines for up to 50 minutes.

VC Ink Tattoo Gallery shared a post on social media earlier this week letting fans know that they were launching Swift-inspired designs featuring lyrics and motifs inspired by the Grammy winner’s music. Each design could be tattooed for $150, and two fans could also win free tattoos from the collection.

The designs included song titles like “Cruel Summer,” “Getaway Car,” “Karma” and “All Too Well,” as well as a snake to represent Swift’s Reputation album, a cardigan sweater with stars to represent the song “Cardigan” and a disco ball inspired by “Mirrorball.”

The company also showed a photo of the long line of people waiting outside its shop on its Instagram Story, and noted that its estimated wait had been at one point 40 to 50 minutes for tattoos. It also reposted several Stories from fans who got inked, including one who got a design of two hands making the shape of a heart, and then shared Swift doing the same.

The fan tagged the shop in their post and wrote, “Asking me how I feel about tattooing 🫶 after seeing myself at the Eras Tour last night? I feel fearless.”

VC Ink wasn’t the only company to offer Swift-inspired tattoos for the weekend. Popular Fine Line Tattoos also launched a “flash tattoo event” that took place over the weekend, according to Australia’s News Corp.
