Your Trusted Tattoo Studio in Surfers Paradise
Phresh Ink was established in 2013 by owner and director Josh Kuhne, whose passion for tattooing originated through graffiti and art during his youth. With over a decade of experience in the tattoo industry, Josh has worked globally at conventions and studios before settling in his hometown to build Phresh Ink. The studio began with three artists in Helensvale and expanded to Surfers Paradise in 2021, now housing 14 artists. Joshs wife, Amy, launched Phresh Tattoo Removal after seven years of behind-the-scenes support. The studio prides itself on a family-oriented culture, prioritising customer service and affordable, high-quality tattoos.

Josh has since stepped back from tattooing to pursue an undefeated career in mixed martial arts, a passion that influences the studios energetic atmosphere. Complimentary consultations are offered daily, allowing clients to discuss ideas with artists and receive tailored guidance. Phresh Ink also specialises in laser tattoo removal using advanced Cynosure MedLite technology, ensuring professional care and transparency throughout the process. The studio extends its creative expertise to mural art commissions, reflecting its deep roots in street art and graffiti culture.

Highest of recommendations for Phresh Ink! I had a sketchy pic printed of the palm tree I wanted. Ricky turned it into a perfect tattoo which is even better than I tried to describe. The vibe is awesome, the ppl are awesome, I can see why they're the best

Thank you Matt for such a creative and detailed design. Better than I imagined. Along with outstanding creativity it should be noted that your hygiene and infection control practices are exceptional. I'll be back for more.
