About Darkside Tattooing & Body Piercing Studio

Darkside Tattooing & Body Piercing Studio sits in a Goddard Street complex in Rockingham, south of Perth, and has been marking skin since 2006. It is a custom studio that also runs a dedicated piercing service, working across a broad range of styles rather than to a single house look.

The resident team spans realism and cover-up work, blackwork and illustration, neo-traditional colour, geometric and ornamental design, and darker surreal pieces, so most briefs can be matched to an artist rather than squeezed into one style. The studio leans on its own line about working up to a standard rather than down to a price, and backs it with autoclave sterilisation and a fresh needle for every client.

For anyone around Rockingham after custom tattooing or a straightforward piercing in a long-running local shop, it is a solid first stop.
