Finding a second to none tattoo artist in Brisbane is often the first job that to tackle when you want to get inked. There’s quite a few tatt stores around the city, but only a select few have a fantastic name for themselves. Many are very talented in tatt designs of their own, especially if you don’t have any tattoo plans of your own! Other studios provide other services like body modification as well.
If you’re into getting inked in Brisbane, who do you think is the best tattoo artist or shop in Brisbane? What makes them so good? If you design a tatt, do they provide any aid and build on your work? Share your preferred tattooist in Brisbane below.

hi guys i just heard there is a awsome tattoo studio opening in garden city upper mt gravatt it sounds awsome they are talking bout 2 levels a cafe, thertre room,all the most moden equipment, they are merging some of the best body modders and piercers with awsome international tattoo artists, i cant wait to check this place out i think the name of it is BRANDED. this shop sounds great just what this side of brisbane needs….
Hi Mark22,
It sounds a lot like you are either the owner, or associated with BRANDED.
I am disappointed you would provide such a biast review of a company that you are clearly associated with.
Definitely not what this side of Brisbane needs is another tattoo shop.
Bad Apples Tattoo Emporium for the win. such a friendly crew, and amazing work.

The Inker at Kelvin Grove. Dean and Alex make you feel at home and both are wickedly funny
Stafford Tattoo is the best!
Im looking for an awsome little tattooist in Brisbane area he name is Shannon anyone know where she is working?
The best Studios in Brisbane go in this order.
1. Black throne – Alison Manners tattoos at this studio and almost has a cult following. 9-12 month waiting list
2. True love Tattoo, Sherwood – 4 Top of the line artists who specialise in old school style Nailz, Mez, AJ Tanor and Pip all throw down quality work consistently.
3. West side Tattoo still have quite a few good artists but have also lost a few quality tattooist in recent years.
Avoid Bikie owned/run studios woolloongabba tattoo, valley tattoo, the inker are examples of these studios but every second tattoo studio is dodgy so do your research and check out the artists portfolios.
