Tattoos, talented artists and plenty of creativity come together at Studio 367.

Home to 11 resident artists, along with visiting tattooers from around the world, the studio brings together a huge range of styles — from fine line and realism through to traditional and everything in between.

The studio was designed to feel welcoming and relaxed, whether you’re covered in tattoos or thinking about getting your very first one. There’s no pressure, no attitude and plenty of time to chat through ideas with the artists.

Whether you’re planning your next piece, exploring different styles or simply curious about the tattooing process, is a creative space worth knowing about on Northcote Rise.

Every trader on High Street has a story worth a few extra minutes.

The hand-lettered sign they made themselves. The plants they water each morning before opening up. The quiet routines that keep a shop feeling like theirs.

Northcote Rise is full of these small, easy-to-love details — the kind that only show up once you slow down enough to spot them.

Some places are made for a quick drink. Others make you want to settle in for the evening.

Purple Emerald at 349 High Street, Northcote is definitely the latter.

With its low lighting, old couches, board games and cosy corners, it has the feel of a great local living room — just with considerably better cocktails.

The back deck is a favourite when the weather warms up, while the cocktail list brings plenty of reasons to stay a little longer. Their mandarin martini and chilli margarita are local favourites, and the 2-for-$30 cocktail offer makes sharing the first round an easy decision.

On Saturdays, settle in for one of their Bottomless Sips packages, or book the space for your next birthday, celebration or private function. And when the mood calls for it, their 80s–90s disco nights bring a little extra energy to the evening. Keep an eye on socials for event information.

Planning a wander down High Street this weekend?

Make sure you stop in at two local favourites — Rathdowne Records and Dixon’s Recycled Records. With both stores just across the road from each other, it’s the perfect excuse to spend a little time flipping through the crates and seeing what you can find.

You never know what’s waiting to be discovered. 🎶

It’s all connected on Northcote Rise.

A coffee before an appointment. Dinner before a gig. A browse in a shop after lunch. A quick stop can easily turn into a few local businesses benefiting from the same visit.

That’s the beauty of having a thriving local precinct. Our businesses don’t operate in isolation — they support each other, share customers and help create the energy that makes Northcote Rise such a great place to spend time.

When you choose to shop, eat, drink or experience something locally, you’re helping keep that ripple going.

One business doing well can lift those around it — and together, we make Northcote Rise stronger.
