Meet Kecil
Born and raised in Solo, Central Java, Kecil has been tattooing since 1996.
Affectionately known as the master, he has been part of the West Coast Ink family for almost 5 years.
An incredibly diverse artist, there is literally no style in which he doesn’t excel, but if you push him on it he will tell you that Japanese, and big custom projects are his favorite pieces to do, his attention to detail is legendary which also makes him a fantastic realism and fine line exponent.

Meet Badunk!
Our longest resident artist, he was born and raised in Solo, Central Java.
Badunk first started tattooing back in 2012 before bringing his extensive skills to Bali in 2016.
Attending many of Australia’s expos over the years, he has a huge following both here and in Australia.
One of the most diverse artists we have had the fortune to work with, his favorite styles are realism, neo-traditional and Japanese although Badunk also has a natural flair for color work and free hand, and his ability to cover up almost anything is legendary!
A natural born artist, Badunk is quick and detailed and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Meet Tony Alva!

A well rounded artist for many years, Gentong brings a wealth of skills and experience to our team with his fantastic realism, portrait, fine line, oriental, ornamental and color work.

Meet Wawan!
Just 25 years old and tattooing for only 6 years, Wawan is a young man destined for the very very top.
Born in Malang it was clear from a young age that he was going to be an artist of some sort, fortunately for us he chose tattooing!
Absolutely loves a challenge, there is no style he doesn’t relish, his realism, fine line, mandala and floral work is simply beautiful, but equally at home with the bolder styles like old school, neo trad, Japanese, whilst his rich color work needs to be seen.
With an incredible appetite to keep growing you will find Wawan a joy to work with!

Meet Ucenk!
Born and raised in Semarang, he has been tattooing now for almost 14 years.
A veteran of the tattoo scene in Bali, Ucenk has cemented his position as one of the very best with his super clean fine line, floral, geometric and mandala work.
A consulate professional and a very popular member of our resident line up, we look forward to seeing his beautiful work for many years to come!
