Meet Kelly & Georgie
Two artists. Decades of experience. Exceptionally high standards.
Australian Colour Technologies, or AusColTech, as we call it, was founded by Kelly Inglis and Georgie Westley and officially launched on Australia Day, 26 January 2017.
But the story behind it started long before that.
Between us, we've spent decades working in the beauty and cosmetic tattoo industries, treating clients, building clinics, educating artists, testing products, making mistakes, finding better ways of doing things and becoming increasingly particular about what earns a place in our kits.
And that is ultimately why Australian Colour Technologies exists.
We wanted access to products that were different. Products that performed. Brands with substance, innovation and a little bit of magic, not simply the same things everyone else were using and selling.
So we built the kind of supplier we wanted to buy from.
Today, AusColTech is a carefully curated destination for professional cosmetic tattoo artists across Australia and New Zealand. We seek out exceptional products, cult favourites, innovative newcomers and those harder-to-find brands that make you stop and take notice.
We don't stock everything. We stock what we think deserves to be stocked.
Our backgrounds mean we're looking at products through the eyes of artists first. Kelly's 22 year career spans beauty therapy, clinic ownership, cosmetic tattooing, scalp micropigmentation and tattoo removal, while Georgie's more than 25 years in the industry encompasses cosmetic tattooing, education, mentoring and industry leadership.
We've built and run successful clinics, worked on thousands of clients, trained and mentored artists, won industry awards, launched our own products and watched this industry evolve enormously over the years.
Today, we work together from The Agency of Skin and Ink in Geelong, which is also home to Australian Colour Technologies.
And despite everything we've done, we're still obsessed with finding what's next, what's better and what's genuinely worth having.
Because AusColTech was never created to be the biggest catalogue or the cheapest place to shop.
It was created for artists who care deeply about their work. The artists who research. Who refine. Who obsess over the details. Who understand that what they use matters.
The serious artists. The exceptional artists. The educators, perfectionists and industry savants.
The ones who know the difference.
We're Kelly & Georgie. Welcome to AusColTech.
