Hi my name is Kjell, aka Squid, and I've been a Brisbane tattooist since 2009.

I enjoy doing a wide variety of tattooing styles, in particular I really love doing Japanese, neo traditional and portrait work. I am the owner of the Brisbane tattoo studio and invite you to come check out our Brisbane tattoo parlour.

Tattooing is my passion and I strive to give my customers the best possible tattoo.

Growing up I've always had an interest in art, whether it be drawing or painting, this led me down the path to becoming a tattooist.

It has been a challenging and rewarding experience, my main style of tattooing would be Neo-traditional, Bio-organic and colour realism, however I'm open to other creative styles too. I look forward to tattooing you in our Brisbane tattoo parlour soon and getting you the best possible result.

My main goal is to create with you a unique and custom art piece that brings you joy over the years to come and I hope you make contact with our Brisbane tattoo shop to start your tattoo or continue your tattoo journey.

Dylan tattoo intensely

With a passion for art and creation I naturally pursued the career of a tattoo artist, being able to fully express my artistic style and capability.

I would say my preferred style would be Neo-traditional and blackwork, but I am open to the customers input and strive to work with one another to get the best possible outcome of your tattoo. I work in our Brisbane tattoo shop located in Taringa, would be great to hear from you so we can collaborate and start your tattoo.
