Australia is one of the greatest countries in the world to experience tattooing. There is genuinely something in the water down there because the artists consistently produce incredible work.
One thing I have noticed is how much Australians gravitate toward large scale tattooing. Around the world, different cities tend to favor certain niches. Places like Los Angeles and New York often lean toward smaller, fine detail pieces. Cities like Barcelona and Copenhagen have a deep love for traditional work. Meanwhile, countries such as Japan, Germany, and Australia are known for embracing full murals on the body, from sleeves to full bodysuits.
Australian tattoo culture thrives on scale, commitment, and craftsmanship. There is a strong spirit of creativity and enjoyment in the process, and that energy shows in the work. The result is bold, ambitious tattoos that transform the body into a canvas and reflect a culture that truly loves the art form.
