The Scab Daily

Australia's Premier Tattoo News Source Since 1891

About The Scab Daily

Our Story

Founded in 1891, The Scab Daily has been Australia's most trusted source for tattoo news, artist spotlights, and ink culture for over a century. What started as a weekly broadsheet in Sydney's historic Rocks district has evolved into the digital authority on all things tattoo.

Our name reflects the healing process of getting inked – a daily reminder that great art requires patience, care, and dedication. Just like a fresh tattoo, good journalism needs time to develop and heal properly.

Our Mission

The Scab Daily is committed to providing comprehensive coverage of the tattoo industry with a uniquely Australian perspective. We believe in:

  • Celebrating the artistry and craftsmanship of tattooing
  • Promoting safe and ethical tattooing practices
  • Supporting local artists and shops
  • Preserving tattoo history and culture
  • Entertaining our readers with quality satire and humor
