John "Johnny Dollar" Entwistle opened his first studio on Flinders Street in the 1960s. He ran what was billed as the oldest established tattoo-supply house in Australia. Over forty years at the machine, one pair of hands, one Richmond studio. You cannot manufacture sixty years.
The Full Story"He tattooed your Dad — get a little part of history put into your skin permanently."
Dragon sleeves, Japanese back-pieces, eagle chest pieces, bold Celtic knotwork — the studio portfolio from 207 Punt Rd.




Classic and traditional tattooing — the bold black outline, the deep flash palette, the horse-and-snake style that peers call "a part of history." Old-school done properly, at the machine every day.
