THE owner of Bondi Ink tattoo parlour is furious his business has been linked to bikies in the Eastern Suburbs.

Coogee Ink, a tattoo parlour in the neighbouring suburb, was firebombed last week and is owned by Comanchero national president Daux Ngakuru and his right-hand man Mark Buddle.

Bondi Ink owner John Tadrosse said reports linking his parlour to the Comanchero and Coogee Ink are wrong.


"The name may be similar but that is where the similarity ends," he said through his lawyer, Michael Ghobrial.

"Bondi Ink's owners have no association with the Comanchero or Notorious.

"We have worked hard to move away from that image and have had a lot of high profile clients."

Tensions between the Comanchero and Notorious bikie gangs have been simmering for the past few months.

Mark Buddle, 32, was released from prison last week for his role in a brawl with Notorious boss Allan Sarkis and his enforcer David Lima.

The trio, and a fourth man Michael Murray who is an associate of Buddle, clashed outside Bondi Ink in October.
