A gang in Perth's south has smashed up a tattoo parlour and bashed the manager in what is believed to be a bikie gang payback attack, police say.
Gang Crime officers were investigating Sunday's attack involving a dozen or more men who stormed the Lost Tattoo shop at Spearwood, a police spokesman said.
They warned several customers to leave before they trashed the office and beat up the manager.
The shop is believed to have links to the Rock Machine outlaw motorcycle gang, which has been feuding with the Rebels bikie gang.
In November, there was an attempted firebombing of a tattoo parlour owned by a Rebels bikie at Bibra Lake in Perth's south.
