Canberra-born Gabrielle Slater thrives under pressure, stepping up to the plate to lead local, family-owned business, Canberra Ink in producing some of the ACT’s best body art.

What led you to where you are now?

“As a woman in business, I believe it’s important to be involved, present and willing to do whatever it takes. Even if that means mopping a floor; you never grow too much to do the grind work.

“In what has historically been a male dominated industry, Canberra Ink was built in 2019 to defy the odds, the norm, and be a business promoting equality.”

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

“To be able to help people achieve their aesthetic body goals, tell their stories via art, create everlasting memorial pieces, and bring ideas to life. There is nothing more satisfying than a content client who leaves feeling happier in their new skin.

“The endgame is to create a legacy. We’re here for the long run, putting in the hours, the effort and creating something Canberra can be proud of.”
