Walk-In Tattoos Brisbane
There’s nothing worse than walking into a tattoo shop, all excited about getting a new tattoo, and suddenly you feel like none of the tattoo artists really want to help you.
At CB Ink, we welcome walk-ins and frequently have experienced and talented artists on standby, ready to deliver quality tattoos at the drop of a hat! No matter what tattoo styles you’re interested in, our team is here to help you create a piece that’s uniquely yours.
Walk-Ins Welcomed 7 Days A Week
Brisbane's Favourite Walk-In Tattoo Studio
Many other tattoo studios will require you to have booked an appointment or they may be completely unavailable to see you when you arrive asking for a tattoo. At CB Ink, we do things differently.
Every day, 7 days a week, we’re able to book you in on the same day if one of our expert artists is available.
So whether you’re booked in advance for a custom design or have been struck by a spontaneous tattoo idea, we often have talented artists excited to give you an incredible tattoo right then and there!
Please note that whilst we absolutely welcome walk-ins, we cannot always guarantee availability. Therefore, to avoid disappointment, we do still recommend booking in advance to ensure you have secured a dedicated appointment time with an artist. You can also call ahead to see if we can accommodate a walk-in that day.
With CB Ink, you get:

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Walk-In Tattoos?
We’ve done our best to cover the key things our clients ask below, but don’t hesitate to flick us a message if you need some more information!
How long do I have to wait if I come in as a walk-in?
We will always try our best to ensure wait times are kept to a minimum and we can get you in the chair as soon as possible. However, times may vary depending on artist availability and the time required to design your tattoo. We can’t always guarantee that you will be able to get a tattoo on the same day, but our team will always try their hardest to fit you in.
Can I come in as a walk-in if I don’t have a set design?
Yes, we have a tonne of pre-designed flash to choose from at the counter and on our walls. We can also run through a consultation with you on the spot to help you decide on a design and finalise your ideas. If you really want to leave it up to chance, we also have a gumball machine full of mystery designs set at either $100 or $200. Spin the machine and get what you get!
How do you decide on the right tattoo for me?
One thing we always emphasise is collaboration; your input is as important as our artistry. Every handmade first draft is tailored to fit the position required on your body, ensuring the design complements your shape and flow. We offer a variety of styles and take time during your session so you feel confident your tattoo is truly special.
Do you welcome first-time clients as a walk-in tattoo parlour?
Absolutely! We are an inclusive studio that treats every client with care and respect. Your comfort and satisfaction are our priority, and we genuinely love helping people explore what a tattoo means to them before we start the process.
