About Red Lotus Tattoo (Private Studio)

Red Lotus Tattoo is a private studio tucked at the back of a skate shop in North Mackay, in central Queensland. It has run as an appointment-only room since 2019, trading big-shop bustle for a quieter, one-on-one setup.

The work spans bold traditional, Japanese and oriental pieces, ornamental, mandala and geometric designs, fine line and symmetrical work, dotwork and tribal blackwork, with skate and band-inspired flash on hand for something ready to go. Everything runs by appointment, with references, size, placement and a rough brief sorted before the needle. The studio also brings on apprentice talent, so there is a mix of a seasoned hand and fresh energy.

For Mackay locals who would rather book a considered session than chance a walk-in, it is a dependable local spot.
