Buscombe House Tattoo is a private tattoo studio in Gosford, NSW, on the Central Coast. We specialise in Japanese and traditional tattooing and welcome custom work across all styles, from smaller single-session pieces to large-scale work and full bodysuit projects. Every piece is designed with care, precision and respect for the craft, in a safe, professional and private studio.
Japanese and traditional tattooing
Japanese and traditional work is at the heart of the studio. That means bold, lasting designs: tigers, dragons, phoenix, samurai, geisha and more, built to fit the body as back pieces, leg sleeves and full sleeves. Traditional, Japanese and black and grey realism are all done in-studio, and all styles are welcome, from fine line to tribal.
Our artists
Kyh Allport has been tattooing for 18 years and works large-scale Japanese: back pieces, leg sleeves and full sleeves. He also paints his own designs on A1 washi using tattoo pigments, and any of them can become your next piece. See Kyh's page and portfolio, or follow him on Instagram at @kyhallport_tattoos.
Mick has been tattooing for 5 years. He specialises in traditional and Japanese but takes on all styles, including fine line. See his work at @mickwoodtattoo.
Mitch also tattoos at Buscombe House.
