Australia Tour 2026 — Tattoo Travel Plans
My fiancé and I are heading back on the road in our 1965 GMC and 1975 Viscount caravan, and I’ll be tattooing around Australia as we travel.
Last time I didn’t end up doing many guest spots because adjusting to full-time travel took more than we expected. We’ve found our rhythm now, and with NSW dropping their tattoo licence fee, I’m hoping to visit a lot more places this time.
What I need for a workable stop
- A studio willing to host
- A nearby camp spot that fits a big van, allows dogs, and isn’t crazy expensive
- A short, simple commute between the camp and the studio
- Enough bookings to make the stop worthwhile
Note for Big-City Folks (Sydney, Melbourne & Perth):
The surrounding regional towns/areas will probably be as close as I can get.
When will you know where I’ll be?
I’m not going to post a detailed schedule or guess where I’ll be months in advance. Every time I try to map it out, something changes.
Once I’ve officially locked in dates with a studio and found somewhere to camp nearby, I’ll share those dates and locations here and on my socials. Until then, please treat everything as flexible and “in planning”.
How to get me to your town
If you want me to visit, camping info is the most useful thing you can give me. Affordable or free camps—or private property with space for a van + dog and access to water/power—make a huge difference to whether I can stop somewhere to work.
Comment the town you’d like me to visit below. If someone has already mentioned your location, reply to their comment to second/third it. That helps me see where the strongest interest is.
I’m dying to get to Tasmania, but the Spirit of Tasmania costs for a large van are steep and we have to book around six months in advance. To make it worthwhile, we’d need a longer stay. Realistically, Tassie will probably happen after we finish a mainland lap and have the funds set aside.
