Surfers Paradise, Helensvale, and Uluwatu — Surf N’ Ink Tattoo Studios, widely recognised as one of the best tattoo studios on the Gold Coast, proudly announces its continued expansion with a flagship studio now open in Uluwatu, Bali. What began as a family-owned, independent tattoo studio in Queensland has grown into an international name trusted for artistry, professionalism, and unforgettable tattoo experiences.

With established studios in Surfers Paradise and Helensvale, Surf N’ Ink now welcomes tattoo enthusiasts, travellers, and backpackers alike to experience the same world-class standards in Indonesia’s most vibrant destination.

More Than Tattoos — A Story-Telling Experience

At Surf N’ Ink, tattooing is deeply personal. Every piece begins with a conversation. Through free consultations, artists take the time to understand each client’s story, refine ideas, and translate emotions into timeless body art. This thoughtful approach, combined with a team of award-winning artists, has positioned Surf N’ Ink as a studio where creativity meets meaning.

Clients are never rushed. Walk-ins are welcome, appointments are available, and every individual receives the same level of care and attention, whether it’s a first tattoo or a full-scale custom design.


Award-Winning Artists, Endless Styles

Surf N’ Ink is home to a diverse collective of highly skilled artists, each specialising in distinct tattoo styles. This allows the studio to match clients with the right artist for their vision perfectly.

Styles offered include:

• Fineline tattoos
• Mandala tattoos
• Watercolour tattoos
• Realism and Chicano
• Neo-traditional and American traditional
• Japanese tattoos
• Script and text tattoos

No matter the concept, Surf N’ Ink delivers tattoos that are technically precise, visually striking, and built to last.

Studios Designed for Comfort, Safety, and Excellence

Each Surf N’ Ink studio is thoughtfully designed to enhance client comfort while meeting the highest industry standards. The Helensvale studio, located inside Westfield Helensvale, was the first tattoo studio of its kind in a Queensland shopping centre and features modern interiors and state-of-the-art tattoo beds.

The Surfers Paradise studio, situated on Orchid Avenue, caters to both holiday-goers seeking a meaningful souvenir and serious tattoo collectors looking for standout designs. The newly opened Uluwatu studio in Bali extends this same premium experience to an international audience.

Uncompromising Hygiene and Safety Standards

Hygiene is a non-negotiable priority at Surf N’ Ink. All studios follow strict daily safety protocols and are cleaned thoroughly between every client using medical-grade sanitising solutions. Artists use single-use needles, disposable ink caps, and sterile equipment opened in front of clients.

From skin preparation with medical-grade antiseptic solutions to the elimination of cross-contamination through single-use containers, every step is designed to ensure a safe, clean, and professional tattooing environment.

Tattoo Now, Pay Later with Afterpay

Making high-quality tattooing more accessible, Surf N’ Ink offers a Tattoo Now, Pay Later option through Afterpay. This flexible payment solution allows clients to invest in meaningful body art without financial stress, further reinforcing Surf N’ Ink’s client-first philosophy.
