About Us

Zoe is the founder and lead Artist of Tatt Brat. Her creative journey began in childhood, where she entered in competitions and her keen eye for detail flourished. She transitioned from a Portrait Commission Artist, creating works for clients across Australia, to Graphic Design, and ultimately embarked on her tattoo apprenticeship in 2016. After honing her craft in various Newcastle studios, Zoe developed a unique fine line art style, which inspired her to create Tatt Brat - an inviting space for likeminded creatives. Zoe’s vision for Tatt Brat is rooted in passion, trust, and creativity, providing a safe and inclusive space for everyone to explore and embrace their artistic potential. She takes immense pride in the thriving community that has blossomed within it.

Birdy started her tattooing journey in 2020, but her experience extends beyond the years. Birdy has always loved to draw but decided after her first tattoo, which was done by Zoe, that tattooing was what she wanted to do. In a full circle moment Birdy commenced work at Tatt Brat and has been following her dream for nearly four years. Birdy is inspired by Australian nostalgia, including native flora and fauna, books and animals. Her style is predominantly fine line/illustrative, but would like to dabble in colour and to tattoo more of her flash designs. There's one thing you must know about Birdy and it's that Wuthering Heights is her favourite book.

Bella has been tattooing for the past 12 months as an apprentice tattooist. With a natural knack for drawing intricate detailed designs for instance, mandala's, Bella knew her skills would translate well to tattooing. Mandala art originates from Buddhism and Hinduism, and is a representation of the inner journey of healing. Bella utilised the comfort of mandala art to transcend the restraints of anxiety. the repetition of the line work extends to a feeling of continuation and growth when it reaches its final form. Bella specialises in fine line work, abstract shape work and micro realism. For Bella, creating art makes her calm and relaxed and hopes this feeling is embraced whilst you're in her hands.

Justin is our apprentice tattoo artist and a longtime creative. He’s been drawing since he was a kid and now channels that into tattooing. His work blends style, personality, and a love for all things hand-drawn. Justin’s work reflects both the nostalgic and the new. Drawing from vintage 80s traditional, filigree, and rococo influences, he blends classic foundations with contemporary techniques and style. His fine line detail and bold character work bring a playful edge to everything he tattoos. Laid-back in energy but focused in practice, Justin stays dialled in on evolving his craft and pushing his style forward.

Sev is our newest apprentice, bringing a fresh burst of creative energy to the Tatt Brat studio.

Her warm personality and passion for meaningful conversations make her a joy to be around. Sev is excited to connect with clients and fellow artists alike as she continues her journey in the world of tattooing.
