Meet Burke & Sass

A little bit about Us!

Get to Know Burkey

Burkey’s life has always revolved around tattooing. From a young age, he knew exactly what he wanted to do — create art that lives on skin. With the full support of his mum and dad, who bought him his first tattoo machine and setup, his passion became more than a dream; it became his path.

Tattooing isn’t just a job for Burkey — it’s the heartbeat of his life. He’s confident across all styles, from fine line and traditional to realism and custom designs. What he loves most is taking someone’s idea and turning it into artwork they can wear proudly forever.

For Burkey, every tattoo has a story, and he’s honoured to bring those stories to life.

Get To Know Sassy

Sassy has been tattooing for almost five years, beginning her journey as Burkey’s first official apprentice. She later completed her apprenticeship at Arrows End in Rockhampton, where she refined her craft under the guidance of her mentor, Tia.

For Sassy, tattooing is deeply spiritual. She values the connection between artist and client, believing that every tattoo carries a piece of the artist with it. This mindset shapes her approach — thoughtful, intentional, and grounded in meaning.

Sassy specialises in blackwork, floral designs, mandalas, and all things feminine. But she’s just as passionate about crafting bold skulls and exploring the darker, edgier styles of tattooing. No matter the design, Sassy brings creativity, care, and a personal touch to every piece she creates.
