These are the artists who trusted Ink Nurse before it was easy to do so. They’ve used our products on real clients in real studios, pushed back when something could be better, and helped shape what Ink Nurse is today. We’re proud to stand beside every one of them.
Angelique Cianci (Shady Cook)
Black & Grey / Illustrative. Sydney.
Angelique works out of Lighthouse Tattoo in Sydney and has built one of the most respected followings in Australian tattooing. She's a Lotus Needles pro team artist, part of the Australian Tattooists Guild, and someone whose standards are genuinely high across the board. She chose Ink Nurse, and that means something to us.

Matt Telford
Japanese Inspired Tattooing. Adelaide.
Matt is an Adelaide-based tattooist at Fallen Muse Tattoo whose Japanese-inspired work is some of the most accomplished in the country. He's also proudly vegan, and his values line up with what Ink Nurse was built on. His pieces are large-scale, considered, and built to last.

Celia Dunne
Black & Grey / Vampire Tribal / Lettering. Sydney and Melbourne.
Celia is one of those artists whose work stops you mid-scroll. Her vampire tribal and lettering work has a dark, cinematic quality that's entirely her own, and she's built a following that genuinely worships what she does. She's had @inknurse in her bio for years, and we've never taken that lightly.

Ross Jenkinson (Yadokai)
Japanese / Illustrative / Dark Colour. The Black Mark Tattoo.
Ross works under the name Yadokai and his work has a mythological intensity that's hard to categorise. Demons, warriors, otherworldly creatures rendered in colour that feels lit from within. He's also behind Shikigami Printing and Stencil Jam, which tells you everything about how seriously he takes the craft. A top tier fella with top tier work.

Casey Charlton
Anime / Neo-Traditional / Colour. Brisbane.
Casey Charlton is one of Australia's most decorated tattoo artists, with multiple national awards for his vibrant, anime-influenced colour work. He works out of Rose Rabbit Tattoo in Brisbane and creates some of the most personality-packed work in the country. Full of life, completely committed to colour, and endlessly inventive. Casey is exactly the kind of artist the Ink Nurse Family was made for.

Lily Parker
Black & Grey / Realism / Illustrative. Melbourne.
Lily has 14 years in the industry and runs Golden Goose Tattoo Studio in Healesville. Her black and grey realism work is meticulous and deeply personal, and she's one of the most thoughtful artists we know. She's not just one of our closest collaborators, she's joined as a part owner - much to our delight! Her feedback has shaped Ink Nurse product development and she also heads up our newly launched tattoo studio wholesale division.

Brea Lanyon
Nouveau Tattoo. Founder of House of Vanta.
Brea is a 3x published author, the founder and creative director of House of Vanta, and an artist with over eleven years in the industry. Her nouveau-inspired work has a flowing, almost architectural quality, and she brings the same rigour to everything she touches. A genuine force in Australian tattooing.

Aura
Japanese / Neo-Traditional / Colour. Sydney/Japan.
Aura is a Sydney-based artist at Hibernia Tattoo whose style moves fluidly between bold Japanese influences and vivid colour work. She's quietly become one of the most exciting artists working in her space right now, and she's been an absolute please to have onboard the Ink Nurse family.

Jay Boogy
Black & Grey Realism / Portraits.
Jay does the kind of portrait work that makes you look twice. Faces rendered with real weight and texture, no filters, no shortcuts. He's been quietly championing Ink Nurse for a long time and even keeps a dedicated Ink Nurse highlight on his profile. That kind of loyalty runs both ways. He was one of the first people to join the foundational team we know as ink nurse today.
@10th_lett_r
With 12 years of tattooing experience, Matej specialises in intricate geometric work, micro realism, ornamental tattooing and blackwork, with a strong focus on creating designs that complement the natural shape and flow of the body.
His work often incorporates patterns, florals, fine details and portraiture. Working predominantly in black and grey, Matej draws much of his artistic inspiration from fine art.
Outside the studio, his interests include jiu-jitsu, photography, motorcycles and video games. So, essentially a very balanced combination of art, violence, horsepower and sitting on the couch getting humbled by strangers! Stoked to have you onboard the fam!
Based in Wollongong, NSW, Alyssa Jade specialises in black and grey illustrative realism with neo-traditional influences. Having recently opened her own private studio in 2026, Alyssa now has a home base to produce her seemingly endless stream of world class & instantly recognisable tattoo flash for her growing cult following. Proudly embracing neurodivergence, her work draws inspiration from niche pop culture, quirky references and the nostalgia of growing up in the mid-2000s. Alyssa is definitely one to keep an eye on, the talent is unstoppable.
