THE LAUGHING BUDDHA TEAM

MEET OUR ARTISTS

MEET RAY

Ray is the owner of The Laughing Buddha Tattoo, and has been tattooing for over 13 years. He started his apprenticeship following a workplace accident which allowed him the opportunity to follow his love of drawing and art. He completed his apprenticeship in Brisbane under the one and only Eric Bruckner. Ray loves a variety of styles but Japanese, neotrad & realistic are his favs..which has been his inspiration for the look of his studio. When he's not tattooing you will catch him painting, gardening & spending time with his wife, kids and friends out camping.

MEET FAITH

Faith is our enthusiastic apprentice who is excited to be on this creative journey. Faith made the big move from Bowen to Townsville in 2021 to pursue a career in tattooing and started with The Laughing Buddha in May 2022. Faith has always wanted to be in the industry and is interested in learning traditional / neo-traditional styles but is hoping to be versatile in all areas of art. Faith also enjoys playing saxophone, spending time with family and animals, and being out in nature.
