BLVK Temple Tattoo
CAIRNS & TOWNSVILLE
Both BLVK Temple Tattoo Cairns and Black Temple Tattoo Townsville are North Queensland’s premier tattoo studios, home to some of the country’s most talented artists working in a warm, professional, and welcoming environment. Our team specialises in a wide range of tattoo styles, offering the versatility to bring any vision to life with expert craftsmanship.
We’re proud to now offer an advanced clinical laser tattoo removal room at our Cairns location, operating under Laser Lab Tattoo Removal. This service expands our commitment to skin art by giving clients the option to fade, correct, or fully remove tattoos—including cosmetic ink—using the most advanced PicoSecond laser technology available in North Queensland. All treatments are performed by the region’s most experienced laser technician, with specialised techniques that make sessions as comfortable, efficient, and effective as possible. Whether you’re preparing for a cover-up or starting fresh, we offer affordable, high-quality results tailored to your needs.
Both our Cairns and Townsville studios also offer professional body piercing services through Black Heart Body Piercing. Our experienced piercers provide a comprehensive range of ear, facial and body piercing services, along with a premium selection of body jewellery. Every piercing is performed with a strong focus on hygiene, safety, comfort and professional aftercare, creating a respectful and personalised experience from start to finish.
At both studios, we’re dedicated to creating a one-of-a-kind experience, where every visit ends with a work of art or service you’re proud to wear.
Appointments and walk-ins welcome!
Please note: You must be 18+ for all tattoos. A non-refundable deposit is required for all bookings, which is credited toward your tattoo. For more information, see our Cancellation/Deposit Policy page.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL Cairns
At Laser Lab Tattoo Removal Cairns, we offer expert complete, partial, and custom tattoo removal, as well as precision fading for those preparing for a cover-up. Whether you’re looking to remove a large, unwanted tattoo or simply lighten an area for new ink, we customise each treatment to suit your individual goals.
Led by the most experienced technician in North Queensland, our Cairns Laser Tattoo Removal clinic uses the latest PicoSecond laser technology—a level of advanced equipment not available anywhere else in the region. This means faster, more effective results with fewer sessions and less discomfort compared to older laser systems.
We provide free, no-obligation consultations and clear pricing quotes, so you can feel confident about the process before you begin. While our primary focus is body tattoo removal, we also safely treat cosmetic tattoos, including eyebrow, lip, and scalp micropigmentation, with the same high level of care and precision.
