Realism tattooing · Port Kembla, NSW

Realism, built over full days.

Marlin and swell · colour realism · chest

"I design every piece myself, from your idea or mine, and tattoo it over as many full days as it takes."

Black and grey and colour realism. Fourteen years in, working by appointment at Atlantis Tattoo Studio, ten minutes south of Wollongong.

Selected work

From the water

Fish, reef and open ocean.

Most days off are spent on the boat. It shows up in the work: marlin, sharks, swell and reef, drawn from a life on the water.

How booking works

01

Join the waitlist

Books open a few times a year. The waitlist hears first.

02

Apply with your idea

The idea, size and placement, plus references. A brief is enough; I design the rest.

03

Approval and deposit

If it’s a fit, you’ll get a date and a link to pay the $300 deposit by card.

04

Your day

Prep notes before, aftercare after, and a check-in once it’s healed.

About

Fourteen years. One chair.

I grew up travelling around Australia and fishing whenever I could. I started tattooing on the South Coast, moved to Sydney to push my skills, and in 2015 opened Atlantis Tattoo Studio, now in Port Kembla.

I design and tattoo every piece myself. Away from the chair, I’m with my wife and son or out on the boat.
