About Vanguard Tattoo
Vanguard Tattoo occupies a unit on Gateway Drive at Biggera Waters, a short step from Harbour Town on the northern Gold Coast. It is a co-owned studio built around a large resident team, and between them the artists cover black and grey, colour, realism and traditional work.
The range is broad by design. The line-up runs from black and grey realism and portraiture through neo-traditional, Japanese, blackwork and dark ornamental styles, so a first small tattoo and a full sleeve can each be matched to a suited artist. Bookings and walk-ins are both welcome, the space is kept to state sterilisation standards, and vegan products are available for anyone who wants them.
With depth across styles and a mix of established artists and apprentices, Vanguard suits people who want to find the right hand for a specific idea rather than settle for whoever is free.
