Six artists work out of this Frankton tattoo studio, where walk-ins are welcomed alongside booked sessions, and first-timers are looked after with free no-obligation consultations, clear design chats, and free touch-ups once ink has healed. The shop runs game-style specials like Flash Darts and Lucky Dip Tats from \$100 (as at 2026, with \$20 re-rolls), where a capsule drops a mystery design, alongside custom pieces and multi-session work. With half their chair time spent on people getting ink for the very first time, the trade here leans on straightforward collaboration and reassurance rather than studio intimidation, backed by payment options like Afterpay sorted at the counter.
Clients point to owner Errol and the team for being remarkably honest about pricing and placement, even checking in across stations to ensure a design sits squarely centered. People praise the banter, the soundtrack that eases pre-needle nerves, and the straightforward, no-nonsense delivery of custom ideas from galaxy orcas to repeat visits decades apart. Paradiso Tattoos is open every day from 11am to 4pm at 245C Kahikatea Drive in Frankton. Our pick in Frankton for an easygoing, laugh-filled first tattoo without the attitude.
