What we tattoo
Tattoo Styles in Brisbane
Dead Doll Tattoos works out of Stallion Ink in Richlands, Brisbane. These are the styles currently offered — pick the one closest to your idea, or describe what you want and it will be drawn from scratch.
American Traditional
Bold black outlines, a tight colour palette and imagery built to last — roses, daggers, swallows, hearts and hands. Traditional work ages better than almost anything else on skin, which is exactly why it never left. If you want a first tattoo that still reads clearly in thirty years, start here.
Gothic
Coffins, candles, mourning lace, cathedral detail and Victorian portraiture. Heavy blacks, deep shading and a quiet sense of romance rather than shock. This is the house style at Dead Doll — the reason most clients come through the door.
Occult & Esoteric
Sigils, moon phases, tarot imagery, inverted symbolism and quiet magick. Symbol-led designs are drawn around what the piece means to you, not pulled from a stock sheet, and can be kept as subtle or as bold as you want.
Anime
Linework and shading drawn from beloved frames — Dragon Ball, Pokémon and other favourite series. Bring the reference frame or character and it will be redrawn as a tattoo that actually works on skin rather than a flat screenshot copy.
Fine Line
Delicate single-needle precision for script, botanicals, small symbols and minimal designs. Fine line suits inner arm, ribs, collarbone and ankle placements where a lighter hand reads better than heavy black.
Floral
Hothouse roses, deadly nightshade, peonies and wildflower arrangements — in traditional bold colour, soft black-and-grey, or fine line. Florals wrap beautifully around forearms, thighs and shoulders and pair well with gothic or occult elements.
Mandala & Sacred Geometry
Symmetrical, meditative detail built outward from a centre point. Mandala work rewards patience and sits best on flat, even areas such as the outer forearm, shoulder blade, sternum or thigh.
Original Flash Art
Pre-drawn one-of-a-kind pieces from Dead Doll's own flash sheets. Flash is the fastest and most affordable way to get tattooed — the design already exists, so the session goes straight to the needle. Each sheet design is tattooed once.
Recent Work on Skin
Healed and fresh pieces tattooed by Dead Doll at Stallion Ink, Richlands.
Styles outside current scope
Dead Doll is an apprentice under the guidance of Neil Kaos at Stallion Ink, and is honest about scope. Large-scale colour realism, full photorealistic portraits and full-body Japanese bodysuits sit outside current practice. If your idea falls there, say so in your booking request — you will either be pointed to a suitable artist at Stallion Ink or offered a version of the design that can be executed properly today.
