Tattoo shops in Perth

Thinking about ink in Perth, WA? Start with the studios: 17 are mapped here. All 17 are mapped as tattoo studios proper, and each one is worth a portfolio browse before you commit — style varies more between shops than towns. A consultation costs nothing and tells you everything about how a shop runs.

This guide covers every tattoo shop we could verify in and around Perth (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. Names you'll run into include Bloodlines and 5 Star Tattoo, plus Ink Remedy. If a studio's missing from Perth's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet — the scene is bigger than any single dataset.

What the map tells us about tattoo shops in Perth

3 of the 17 list their opening hours on the map, which is genuinely useful — tattoo studios often work by appointment, so posted hours can be more of a guideline than a promise.

Tattoo tips for Perth

First tattoo or fiftieth — the rules don't change in Perth:

• Don't haggle on price at Bloodlines. You're paying for hours of someone's skilled labour on your skin forever. Bargain hunting has no place in a tattoo shop.
• Cover-ups need a specialist at 5 Star Tattoo. Not every artist does good cover-ups. Look for healed cover-up photos in the portfolio, not just fresh work.
• Browse portfolios before anything else. A studio's Instagram or website tells you more than any review. If nobody there does the style you want, keep looking.
• Document the healing. Photos of the healing process help your artist advise you, and help you judge their work honestly.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Perth — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new tattoo shop in Perth can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 17 that's closed, or a great tattoo shop we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't rate studios or artists, and we never list prices — those are between you and the shop. What we list is the where and the how-to-find, from places real mappers have verified.

If you run one of the 17 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
