SMP BRISBANE

We are Kai and Lauren, registered tattooists with over 20 years of combined creative and technical experience across cosmetic tattooing, paramedical tattooing, and body art. Together, we founded SMP Brisbane as part of Barber – Stables & Co, creating a studio where artistry and clinical precision meet.

​

Our backgrounds are diverse — Kai comes from a creative and barbering background, with years of hands-on SMP and body tattooing experience, while Lauren brings expertise in cosmetic tattooing, brows, lashes, and paramedical artistry. This combination makes us one of the only teams in Brisbane able to bridge the gap between traditional tattoo artistry and medical-grade cosmetic treatments.

​

At SMP Brisbane, our work is guided by three core principles:

1. Precision: Every hair stroke, every pigment deposit, every design line is executed with technical accuracy. We don’t “dot” hairlines — we recreate them.

2. Inclusivity: We are a tattoo studio for all bodies and skin tones. Whether you’re looking for SMP, cosmetic tattooing, or body art, our techniques are designed to work across a wide range of complexions, hair textures, and styles.

3. Creativity: We treat every client as an individual canvas. From a soft feathered hairline to a bold body tattoo, we design results that reflect who you are.

What We Do

​

Nano Hair Stroke SMP
We are the first and only studio in Brisbane offering Nano Hair Stroke SMP, a hyper-realistic technique that blends hair strokes with your natural hair. Unlike traditional SMP, this method allows you to keep some length, creating a soft, feathered, and stylish hairline.

​

Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
Our SMP work goes beyond the standard “shaved look.” We build density, cover scars, and create tailored hairlines for both men and women. SMP is a non-surgical, lasting solution for hair loss — restoring confidence without downtime.

​

Cosmetic Tattooing
From brows and lips to lash enhancements, cosmetic tattooing is about refining natural features. Our approach is subtle and artistic, ensuring results look natural and suit both men and women.

​

Body Tattoos
We don’t just specialise in hair and cosmetic tattooing. As registered tattooists, we also design and deliver custom body tattoos, blending traditional and modern styles. This allows our clients to trust us for both functional and artistic tattoo work.
