About Studio 278
Studio 278 is an established tattoo studio on Riverside Boulevard in Douglas, on the edge of Townsville, running since 2015. It brings together a large, varied crew under one roof.
The line-up spans grey wash and realism, traditional and neo-traditional, fine line, Japanese, Polynesian and Ta Moko, blackwork and darker horror and surreal work, so most briefs can be matched to an artist who specialises in that direction. Piercing and cover-ups are offered alongside tattooing, and the studio runs on a mix of appointments and Friday-evening walk-ins.
Free on-site parking and step-free access make it an easy, all-round shop for first-timers and seasoned collectors alike.
