About Sami Locke Tattoo
Sami Locke Tattoo is a solo, artist-led studio based within West Side Tattoo at Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast, built around bright, bold and custom traditional work.
The approach is genuinely custom: clients bring a description, placement and reference images, and designs are usually drawn close to the appointment rather than sent ahead. Bookings open in three-month blocks and free in-person consultations are offered, which suits people planning larger or ongoing pieces as well as those after a single considered tattoo. Cover-ups are taken on after a photo assessment.
It is a strong fit for anyone who wants a bold, traditional-leaning piece from a dedicated single-artist room.
