What are the popular tattoo Styles?
Hervey Bay tattoo artists are known for their diverse styles and techniques, with bespoke and personal body art of every style and subject now experiencing an explosion in popularity.
I have an extensive portfolio and experience in all styles and techniques including Cybersigilism, Neo-traditional, Tribal, New School, Black and Grey, Japanese, Nordic/Fantasy and Water Colour. I specialise in Ultra Fine line, Colour and Script.
























Just about anybody can pierce me, right?
Piercing may seem simple, but can have serious long term repercussions when performed by inexperienced and under-trained personnel. Experienced Professionals know the individual properties of skin, where to pierce to avoid capillaries, nerves, and other important structures. We also understand how to properly place a piercing to ensure it will settle into the correct place, and a myriad of other pre and post considerations. Professionals ONLY use needle and clamp technique with medical grade instruments to avoid the damage and trauma to delicate cartilage and tissue. This method provides a safe, fast, accurate and generally pain free experience.
I am fully qualified, medically trained and have over 20 years of full body piercing and ear styling experience.
I strive to keep you informed and comfortable before, during and after your new piercings, and Infants, Kids and Teens are a speciality.
All piercings include Premium Range Jewellery at no extra cost.





What is True Permanent-Makeup?
Permanent-makeup and cosmetic tattooing has become very popular in the Hervey Bay region, especially for those wanting natural looking yet long lasting brows, eyeliner and full lips. Permanent-makeup (sometimes referred to as as cosmetic tattooing though the practice is quite different) allows you to maintain a fresh and vibrant “just made up” look 24/7 for many years without the need for regular touch-ups.
For brows, modern best practice is performed by genuine licensed and experienced “full dermal” tattooists with additional Beauty industry training. I am also a fully qualified beautician through Madame Korner Institute and a Certified Trainer in all elements of Cosmetic Tattooing, Micro Pigmentation up to and including Advanced Degree level.
Using the latest nano needles and top-grade permanent inks, I work with your existing brows to create, shape and colour each individual fine hair layer. Your brows take on a natural and consistent look, perfectly matched to your preferred colouring, style and face shape. Or, you may want a bold look to your brows, with strong colouring and shape for a confident and individual vibe. The choice is yours.
If you are a little unsure about going True Permanent initially, why not try a semi-permanent option to see how the look works for you? Ask me about the options available.
In the hands of an experienced and trained professional , True Permanent-Makeup Tattooing represents excellent value and produces outstanding long term results without the skin trauma, scarring, and the temporary nature of microblading and other sub-dermal practices.








WHAT DOES POST- MASTECTOMY DECORATION ENTAIL?
Often, Mastectomy etc can leave areas of trauma on the body, and can have a detrimental effect on a person’s self esteem and body image. Working on damaged skin is a very specialised skill, and to be able to transform it or integrate these into a design that is both visually pleasing and personally significant takes artistic skill, vision and understanding.
I am a specialist in tissue integration and covers, as well as post-mastectomy decoration, including floral arrangements and 3D re-creation of nipple and areola. My discreet and private studio ensures you are in a completely relaxed, safe and comfortable environment.
How do I choose the Right Artist and Studio ?
When choosing an artist and studio for your tattoo and piercing, it is important to do your research and find someone who is experienced, skilled, and able to create the design you have in mind. Some tips for finding the right artist and studio include:
Look for Examples of their Work and Reviews online.
Ask for recommendations from friends or family who have gotten tattoos and piercings.
Check for current certifications and accreditation.
Visit the studio, ensuring that it is clean and hygienic, with superior infection control practices in place.
Make sure the artist has time for your questions and concerns.
Am I in good hands ?
In addition to a 4 year apprenticeship and a further 7 years additional training in the medical and beauty fields, I have been in practice for over 20 years. I continuously study and perfect techniques, trends and styles from around the globe and use only the very best equipment, the highest quality inks, and take your safety and health seriously. By choosing me as your artist, you can be assured that your new piercings are performed to the highest standard, supported by real-word experience, and your Tattoochique tattoo is a beautiful and meaningful one-of-a-kind work of art that you will be proud to wear for a lifetime.

EXCELLENT Based on 156 reviews Posted on Matthew Roberts03/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely Outstanding Experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just got my piercings done by Nicola at Tattoo Piercing Permanent Makeup Hervey Bay Tattoochique and I couldn't be happier! This was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. Nicola is the ultimate professional—she has a brilliant, calming presence and clearly has a ton of experience (I think her website mentioned over 20 years!). She walked me through the entire process, explained the aftercare in detail, and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The studio was impeccably clean and I felt completely safe and confident in her hands. The piercing itself was quick and virtually painless, thanks to her precision and expertise. The jewelry she used is premium quality, and the placement is absolutely perfect! If you're in Hervey Bay and looking for a new piercing (or tattoo/permanent makeup), you must go see Nicola at Tattoochique. She's not just a piercer; she's a true artist who genuinely cares about her clients. Highly, highly recommend!Posted on Brodie Riley26/09/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the best artists I've personally been too!

Amazing range of jewellery, Nicola made the service very calm and relaxing!!Posted on KIREN KODALI25/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicola is one of the finest tattoo artists I have met having worked with tattoo artists all across Australia. She is very artistic & also brings to the table added care, hygiene & precision from being a nurse in the past as well. Also very caring & jovial which makes your tattoo/ piercing experience super fun !Posted on Kristina Gibbs21/08/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today my husband and I took our daughters to Tattoochique in Hervey Bay for our youngest daughter’s very first ear piercing, and the experience was absolutely outstanding. I had previously visited Nicola two years ago with my second daughter to have our ears pierced together, and I was so impressed then that I knew we would return. Once again, Nicola delivered exceptional service. She explained everything thoroughly, ensuring we were fully informed about aftercare, when it is safe to change the earrings, and the best way to care for newly pierced ears. The use of numbing cream was a fantastic touch and made the process completely comfortable for our youngest, who was not nervous at all. Nicola’s professionalism, gentle approach, and attention to detail made the experience seamless from start to finish. Today also happened to be our daughter’s birthday, which made the moment even more special. Seeing how happy and proud she was truly made our day as a family. We are already planning to return in October for our eldest daughter’s second lobe piercing. Thank you, Nicola, for your outstanding work and the care you put into every detail. Your professionalism and care are second to none, and we will continue to recommend you to others.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
