About The Laughing Buddha Tattoo
The Laughing Buddha Tattoo sits on French Street in Pimlico, a custom studio serving Townsville with a small resident crew and a stated focus on original artwork.
The team's strengths span Japanese, neo-traditional and realism through to realistic portraits, horror pieces and watercolour, so the studio covers both bold colour work and finer detail. It works to a custom, by-consultation model, and the space is described as relaxed and professional, comfortable ground for a full sleeve or a first idea worth talking through.
Everything is designed in-house and charged by the hour, with online booking and in-store payment options.
