private studio central coast

Welcome to Louielou Tattoo The Doom Room

A private tattoo studio in the heart of the Central Coast of NSW, providing a warm, welcoming environment for clients and exceptional bold traditional and Japanese-style tattooing.

As you know, our Terrigal shop is now closed but we’ve kept our business name to create a new private space for our owner, Zach [neighbourhoodtats].

We are still based on the Central Coast and offer bookings Tuesday to Sunday, by appointment only. 

This new space provides Zach with one on one appointments with his clients and enables him to offer the best possible experience for them. 

On this website, you will find info on Zach and his new space, his portfolio, tattoo history and meanings, some handy info in our FAQ page as well as a blog dedicated to regular updates on Zach’s new flash, guest spots and new merch!

We’ve also kept both Instagram accounts, the shop and Zach’s, mainly to advertise different aspects. The shop Instagram will focus on his available bookings on the coast as well as his portfolio, flash sheets and new merch. His account will be used as a portfolio, his upcoming bookings including his guest spots and a travel blog!

Make sure to check out our articles about the history and meaning of Traditional & Japanese tattooing, both of which are Zach’s specialties. It can give you some great insight into specific styles and tattoos and lots of inspo!

About Zach *

Zach * Owner of Louielou Tattoo & Traditional Tattoo Artist

Zach [neighbourhoodtats] has been a tattoo artist for ten years and ran a busy tattoo studio in Terrigal, for seven years.

In May 2025, it was time close the doors of Louielou Tattoo in Terrigal but the decision was made to keep the business name to create a new, private space for Zach.

As well as having his studio on the Central Coast of NSW, Zach travels a lot to other tattoo shops all over Australia and overseas, most notably France & America.

He specialises in Traditional & Japanese styles, blending bold black tattooing with Japanese folklore as well as including clouds, waves and ornamentals into dark pieces.

When Zach isn’t tattooing, he spends his time making rings and key rings out of recycled coins and bullet shells. These are in limited supply and, when available, are sold in store, at conventions and on the website if there are any left.
