About Zandaka Tattoo

Zandaka Tattoo is a McKinnon studio on McKinnon Road, positioned by its founder as a cultural hub for Melbourne rather than a standard shop.

The crew's work draws on Japanese tattooing, graffiti and street art, hip hop and comic culture, giving the studio a clear leaning towards custom, illustrative and traditional Japanese pieces. The resident artists range from an established Japanese-influenced hand to a working apprentice, so the studio covers seasoned collectors as well as newer clients. Aftercare guidance is provided and work is done by appointment.

For anyone around Melbourne's south-east after character-driven, custom tattooing with a street-culture bent, Zandaka is worth a look.
