Our parlour is dedicated to creating striking and iconic Tribal Tattoos that transcend time and trends. Our award-winning artists are Australia’s most experienced in designing Celtic and Nordic tattoos.
Many of our clients have been on a journey of discovery into their own heritage. Tracing their history through ancestry websites and historical documents, they reach new understanding about where they have come from and how it impacts their life today. Inscribing these discoveries in customised tribal tattoos is what Ancient Marks is known for.
Each line and symbol is full of meaning, and traces a story as old as time itself over each new recipient’s body. The bold flowing designs of Tribal Tattoos speak about strength and vulnerability, ancient wisdom and fresh discoveries, forever connections, and new beginnings.
Whether you are creating your first ink or you are continuing your personal artwork, if you are seeking tribal markings you have come to the right place. We listen closely to your ideas and gauge your personality, connecting your custom tattoo design with your life force. Choosing tribal designs imbues your tattoos with layers of meaning, speaking to the very depth of human experience, and we respect that the path of your life has brought you here and now.
Your actions direct your life, your tattoos tell your story, your body is your canvas.
Let’s inscribe your meaning.

I was fortunate enough to get 4 days of time with Anthony on short notice thanks to some last-minute cancellations. His skill, professionalism and commitment to his craft is absolutely... Read more top notch. Within short order he designed and freehanded two incredible shoulder pieces for me, combining realism and his trade mark Ancient Marks style to create a stunning display of precision tattooing that receives immediately compliments from anyone who sees his work. Whether you are a fresh canvas seeking your first tattoo, or a veteran keen to extend your portfolio, you will be enjoy the Ancient Marks experience and not be disappointed.
Anthony is an award-winning, internationally acclaimed and published tattoo artist who leads the industry in Celtic, Nordic, and other Tribal Tattoo styles.
Growing up in Ireland, Anthony was strongly tied to his Celtic ancestral past, and Tribal Tattooing became a natural extension of his creative expression. Committed to his craft, Anthony studied and mastered many styles of tattooing in order to become the skilled artist he is today. He is respected in the industry as a multi-specialist artist who leads the way in Tribal Tattoos.
Anthony works uniquely through his intuitive connection with the body surface. Rather than drawing flat designs that must fit the contours of the body, Anthony creates freehand designs directly onto the skin that work with the individual curves and contours of your body. Capturing the energy and inspiration you bring to your session, Anthony will create a one-of-a-kind design that expresses your personality, aesthetic style, cultural meaning, and creativity. Anthony does large-scale work only, masterfully completing high-impact Tribal Tattoos over the torso, back, full or half legs, full or half arms, and bodysuits.
