Hey there, For those who don’t know me my names Jake Straat. I’ve been tattooing in Cairns for a little under 9 years. I own and operate @royalbluetattoo on Sheridan st and have done for the last few years. Royal Blue Tattoo is a humble little private studio focused on American Traditional and Neo Traditional tattooing. With my appointments I’m currently booking up into March for existing clients and ongoing work and I’d like to announce that I’m now accepting new clients for Cairns. 🎉 Get it touch let’s start something rad. You might even meet my pet Iguana 😂❤️ - - - - - - #tattooartist #cairns #cairnsartist #artistcairns #cairnstattoo #tattoocairns #fnq #fnqtattoo #qld #qldtattoo #royalblue #royalbluetattoo #oldschool #classic #americantraditional #americantraditionaltattoo #tattooer #tattooist #tattoos #inked #tradwork #tradworkers #traditionaltattoo #traditionaltattooing #americantrad #americantraditionaltattoo #neotrad #neotradtattoo #neotradtattoos #tattoosnob (at Royal Blue Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cngme7ZvmDp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Nothing better than a design picked from a painting I’ve made. Thanks Edan for sitting tough and copping it sweet 💪🏻 When I originally created the piece I was listening the ‘The Acacia Strain - Nightman’ and the lyrics - ‘Close your eyes and think of better times, the reality is you're all gonna die’ inspired this piece. Applied with love from @royalbluetattoo Now booking March - - - - #owl #owltattoo #classic #classictattoo #classictattooing #royalblue #royalbluetattoo #oldschool #boldwillhold #oldlines #cairns #cairnsartist #artistcairns #cairnstattoo #tattoocairns #fnq #fnqtattoo #qld #qldtattoo #bright #bold #boldtattoo #tattooflash #tattoosnob #classictattooing #americantrad #americantraditionaltattoo #americantradtattoo #tattoo #tattooing (at Royal Blue Tattoo) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnTtShbrm77/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tattoo I made for my friend Rhi in Canberra. This tattoo was picked from my hand painted flash. I was inspired to create this piece whilst listening to the song ‘Flowers and you’ by Touchè Amorè.
