STORY
Malika Rose began tattooing as a young artist in 2005 from a small studio in Adelaide. Growing up in a family of artists, as a child she spent her weekends at exhibitions, galleries and art classes. Inspired by the subcultures of fashion and music that she immersed herself in as a young adult, the art of tattooing was a constant source of awe and fascination.
about
Early in Malika's career, her passion for the art and history of tattooing took her around the world where she submerged herself into the tattoo cultures of countries in Asia, Europe, South America and the USA. These global experiences cemented her love and dedication to this unique and deeply personal art form.
A love of nature and organic forms is expressed throughout Malika's tattoo designs which are primarily in black and grey with a focus on texture and contrast.
Malika's fine art explores multi-mediums, oil, acrylic, graphite, ink, perspex and also enjoys larger scale murals. Malika has exhibited her fine art in galleries across Australia as part of group and solo exhibitions.
STUDIO
Malika now works from a private studio nestled in the Buderim rainforest on Gubbi Gubbi Country, Sunshine Coast. With views of rolling mountains and lush forest it is truly special. Malika strives to give her customers not only the best work but also the best experience and has created a perfect space to do so where life can imitate art.
