As the largest tattoo brand in Asia-Pacific, Celebrity Ink is taking tattooing from the underground to the mainstream.

This fresh, new way of thinking has positioned their studios in high traffic shopping centres, targeting a wide demographic and has seen them grow by 60% over the past two years, despite COVID. Modern, approachable and appealing, they’ve created the world’s first experiential tattoo studios, designed to bring tattoos to life and help clients express themselves the way they want!

You don’t need to come from the tattoo industry to own a Celebrity Ink studio. They offer all their franchise partners access to a dedicated training academy, built to ensure the ongoing training and development of artists. Their academy offers both online and face-to-face training options, allowing geographical reach. With a highly experienced head office team you will receive ongoing support to help your studio perform successfully and profitably. Celebrity Ink is all about taking things to a new level, challenging the status quo of the tattoo industry and doing things differently.

Celebrity Ink Background

Celebrity Ink is celebrating its 10-year anniversary, with the first flagship studio established in Phuket, Thailand in 2013. Over the past 10 years we have grown to become one of the largest tattoo franchises in the world. With 25+ locations and growing, Celebrity Ink’s locations span across four countries, including Italy. Their head office is based in Australia on the Gold Coast.

Doing things Differently

Traditionally tattoo studios have had a reputation for being underground. Celebrity Ink challenges that stereotyped thinking, by bringing their studios to the forefront within shopping centre locations. Making them modern, fresh and approachable. This new approach ensures Celebrity Ink appeals to a wide range of demographics and guarantees high foot traffic.

You don’t need to have tattoos or be from the industry to own one of their studios, their business model appeals to investors and business savvy people who come from a range of industry backgrounds. It is just one of the ways they are approaching things differently! Celebrity Ink ensures their business partners undergo full training and have the right support for success.
