About Cairns City Tattoo
Cairns City Tattoo has worked from Shields Street in the Cairns CBD since 1984, a long-running family-owned studio with a second location on nearby Lake Street.
A deep resident line-up covers most tattoo traditions — Japanese, realism, black and grey, blackwork, geometric, fine line, neo-traditional and custom lettering — and the studio also offers body piercing. Both walk-ins and advance bookings are welcome, which suits travellers passing through the far north as much as locals planning a larger piece.
Decades in one place and a broad bench of artists make it one of the region's most established studios.
