Featured Artist: Kris Olsen

Escaping the bustling world of Melbourne City, Kris set off on a quest to satisfy that craving for a lifestyle of perfect waves and the cruisy Gold Coast way of life.

A perfect match for this quality tattooist and avid surfer was the Gold Coasts only studio that truly lives the dream; SURF n Ink. With Kris’s instantly evident down-to-earth vibe, he fits right in.

Kris is competent in many styles but specialises in dot work, Polynesian, geometric and tribal work with an eye for combining contrasting, seemingly dissimilar styles.

Featured Artist: Justin Nichols

Known best for comic relief, Justin’s clients (and anyone else in the room for that matter) are sure to have a giggle, if not have to ask the artist to stop tattooing so they can really let their laughter out!

Confident in a range of styles and excelling in pieces without outlines, you’ll find it difficult to put his wide range of talent into one category. From crisp colour work to soft black and grey and even dark imagery, you can be confident that Justin can turn your idea into a great tattoo.

Big or small pieces, Justin will give 200% as he sees every tattoo as a new challenge to better his artwork. He is currently exercising his creative flair by using charcoals as well as Chinese ink and bamboo. He is also studying fine art.
