I spent my younger years in Murray Bridge, SA growing up, from there I left and ended up in Wyoming, USA, racing cars, skiing & freezing my b#!!$ off! Once I'd had enough of the cold I decided to move with my brother to Kununurra, WA where my time is now spent  sweating my b#!!$ off! 😂 I was blessed with a creative mind from a young age and have always had a passion for all types of art,  this all amplified when I discovered the medium of tattooing. I started tattooing at the age of 18 & throughout the years gained a wealth of knowledge, which has enabled me to transform clients' design ideas into unique pieces of art. I'm always honoured when someone asks me to design a tattoo for them, it's a surreal feeling watching them walk out the studio with my art tattooed on their skin. Additionally, I dedicated four years to designing and developing my own tattoo machine ( BlackRock 303). I wanted to create a machine to reduce the trauma and discomfort associated with traditional tattoo machines, making the experience more comfortable for clients and ensure they'll come back. We here at the Studio welcome everybody and look forward to discussing your design ideas with you, so don't miss out, book in and we'll see you soon.

When I first met Rob, he tattooed an octopus on my shoulder for my birthday.  I never would have thought we'd be 7+years on, still close friends and opening his tattoo studio.  We've both watched each other accomplish many things over the years, but this is by far the most exciting  & memorable. Working alongside Rob has been fun to say the least & watching him fulfil his dream of opening his own Studio is amazing. As the Studio Manager, I'm committed to delivering the utmost professional care & ensure the highest standards of health & safety are maintained for both staff & clients. Black Rock Tattoo is somewhere I feel proud to be apart of & can't wait to see what the future might entail. 

Ridgie Didgie - The Dingo pup 

If you happen to see Ridgie around the Studio while at your consultation be sure to say hello, she likes long walks in the park and has some strange addiction to moisturisers. The primary reason in why we don't allow children at the Studio is because - well, she is a Dingo. 😂 Just jokes, she's more focused on what kind of tattoo cream you'll be using and if you have a free hand for a pat.    



At Black Rock Tattoo we're not all about getting inked, have you ever considered a carved Boab nut - they're not as permanent, you don't need to worry about numbing creams or how much its going hurt, but they're equally meaningful. Whether you're looking for something to remember your Kimberley adventure, wanting a unique gift for a loved one or just something special for yourself like your pet’s portrait carved on a nut. Then look no further, come have a look at Rob’s nuts he’ll gladly show them off to you.

His Boab Nuts of course!!! Alternatively you can scroll down and look at some of the amazing work he’s done already. 

The Boab tree, (Adansonia gregorii) with its distinctive bottle-shaped trunk and character like presence, serves as a captivating symbol of the Kimberley's unique landscape. If you’ve ever been to the Kimberley, you can understand how intriguing the Boab tree is. Boabs capture your imagination, spark curiosity and each one is completely different to the next. Boabs are not only visually stunning but also hold significant cultural and ecological value, with some being aged over 1500 years making them the oldest living things in Australia & most of the world.

  • At Black Rock Tattoo, we respect the Traditional Owners of the land and the profound cultural significance of the Boab tree, which has been essential to the Miriwoong and Gajerrong people for centuries. 

'Gerdewoon’ â€“ Is the Miriwoong name for the iconic Boab 

Miriwoong country is a large area of land in Northern WA and spreads just over the border to the NT that is sacred to the Miriwoong people.  

  • Every part of the Boab tree is versatile and usable, with most of the Boab being edible. It has 6 x the amount of vitamin C than oranges and twice as much calcium as milk. It’s rich with vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, and phosphorus, iron, sodium, zinc, magnesium and potassium. It harnesses a lot of medicinal remedies that the locals have been using for years.
