Drew Shallis

Drew Shallis is a name that carries real weight in the international tattoo community. A specialist in neo-traditional tattooing, Drew has spent over 14 years refining a style that merges the bold structure of traditional tattooing with rich illustrative detail, nuanced shading, and vivid colour palettes that set his work apart.

His tattoos have a painterly depth to them — animals, nature scenes, portraits and mythological imagery rendered with the kind of craft that earns him guest spots at studios across the world and a wait list that speaks for itself.

If you're chasing something truly exceptional — a statement piece or full sleeve that will turn heads for decades — Drew is one of the most exciting artists working in Australia today. Consultations are available; reach out early.

I never wanted to do anything other than draw and make art. Tattooing allows me to do that!
