JADE CICADA

A private tattoo studio in South Brisbane
where intention meets craft.

About the Studio

Jade Cicada is an appointment-only tattoo studio on Merivale Street, where each piece is approached as both art and ritual.

We work with people who see tattooing as more than decoration— as a way to mark transitions, integrate experiences, and carry meaning forward.

Whether you're honoring a threshold you've crossed, claiming space on your body, or creating something that helps you remember who you are— we're here to hold that process with intention and care.

From fine line and blackwork to ornamental dotwork and continuation pieces, we specialise in work that's designed with you, for you, and built to live well on your body for decades to come.

This is a space for collaboration, presence, and craft.

The Studio

Jade Cicada sits in the heart of South Brisbane— a quiet, private space designed for focus, comfort, and creativity.

Natural light. Warm air. Room to breathe.

Every session is by appointment only, so you're never sharing the space with walk-in traffic.
