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.

Our Cairns studio also offers a full range of professional piercing services through Black Heart Body Piercing, designed to match your personal style and delivered with a focus on hygiene, safety, and comfort. From elegant ear stacks to intricate body and genital piercings, we ensure a respectful and personalised experience every time.

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!

    Really great experience! From the start of the process through to the last tattoo inking - very professional, friendly and enjoyable. Josh was really attentive and an expert at his craft - putting his artistic flair on the design - which personalised the outcome. Highly recommend.

    "I had an amazing experience with David B!He designed a custom piece for my arm to represent my new grandson, and the final artwork exceeded all my expectations. David is incredibly talented, professional, and took the time to make sure every detail was perfect. The tattoo is a beautiful tribute that I will cherish forever. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful, high-quality art!"
Thanks again David, good luck with your challenge I hope you win.😊

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.
