Working at Fable Tattoo in Meeanjin/Brisbane, Australia, Brooklyn’s tattoos blur the lines between traditional and neo traditional. They could be described as cute traditional, but I love and prefer the term coined by tattoo artists themselves: bubblegum trad.
Anything you love in life, Brooklyn can turn into a tattoo that you’ll love even more. Pet portraits, Australian natives (flora and fauna), stylised pop culture pieces, chibi, kawaii, music and lyrics, The Simpsons, Harry Potter, and even a meme – I mean anything.
As an Aussie artist, it was either through a local tattoo magazine, or through my research for tattoo articles for other websites that I first discovered Brooklyn Bee. After all those years, she continues to produce solid and extremely cute bubblegum trad tattoos.
Brooklyn is one of those artists who you just want to share every single tattoo they’ve posted online. Once you’ve looked through the pieces I have selected and posted below, be sure to follow Brooklyn Bee on Instagram.
