Broken Arrow Tattooing

Broken Arrow Tattooing is a busy studio just off the centre of Ballarat, on Shepperd Street, built around a large resident crew rather than one or two artists. The collective spread means a broad reach across styles, with particular strength in fine line, linework and black and grey.

The feel is relaxed and famously non-intimidating — a place regulars return to for the banter as much as the ink, and one that tends to put nervous or first-time clients at ease. With a big roster of hands, there is usually someone whose style suits a given idea, from small pieces through to larger custom work.

It reads as a proper community shop: welcoming, unpretentious and as geared to walk-ins as to booked sessions.
