About Gold Empire Tattoo Barber
Gold Empire Tattoo Barber is a combined tattoo studio and barbershop on Wood Street in central Mackay, a regional shop that pairs a full tattoo crew with an on-site barber.
Its resident artists cover a broad range, with strengths in black-and-grey and colour realism, portraits, Chicano, Japanese, traditional and neo-traditional work, plus dotwork, fine line and custom script. The shop welcomes walk-ins alongside booked sessions and takes on custom designs and cover-ups, which makes it a flexible option for both first pieces and larger ongoing projects.
As an established local studio with a wide stylistic bench, it suits Mackay clients after everything from a quick walk-in to a detailed custom sleeve.
