Perth bikie Dayne Brajkovich photos reveal how he became the dreaded Hell’s Angels enforcer
Before he became Australia’s most recognizable motorcyclist, Dayne Brajkovich was a fresh-faced teen with no tattoo.
Grinning at the camera, just 18 years old, the future Hell’s Angels sergeant-at-arms looked like a high school crush you could bring home to your parents.
Never-before-seen photos obtained by Daily Mail Australia show his transformation over two decades into a formidable enforcer.
Brajkovich now regularly appears in court with ink covering every inch of his body, including a swastika, and biker slogans that the government went out of its way to ban.

His striking floral tattoos of wide-open red flowers with a yellow center were among the first to be applied across his body, extending down to his legs.
An early photograph of the design shows them scattered across his arms and torso, along with Chinese characters and two dueling dragons.
Gang ties were completely absent and although he had already lost all his hair, the ink had not yet reached his face or head.
Tattoos later began to merge with the facial hair he wore briefly in the next photo, snaking down his cheeks and onto his scalp.
Another photo from about the same years shows exactly how far the now tightly packed tattoos stretch across his body.
Sitting stark naked in the cab of a job site crane, the body art even extends to his crotch with intricate designs heavy on black ink.

A more recent photo shows the ink beginning to spread over his head with the first tattoo on the forehead, an image of Jesus.
Crammed on his left cheek was a pistol, brass knuckles and the Roman numerals of his year of birth, 1979, and a Chinese dragon on his neck.
Two of the photos also showed how his beloved pets grew from puppies to the loyal watchdogs that protect his $1.5 million Perth fortress home.
Brajkovich became so notorious for his tattoos that he was the poster child for the Western Australian government’s crackdown.
Prime Minister Mark McGowan, his ministers and senior agents singled him out in promoting controversial laws banning the public display of bicycle symbols.
He had “Hell’s Angels” embossed on his forehead and “1%er” on his neck—a common biker identification number that represents the percentage of bike owners who don’t obey the law.
Others included “notorious gang enforcer” on the right side of his head to spoof media reports about him, and “One %” above his right eye.

WA Police Commissioner Colonel Blanch suggested at the time that motorcyclists should cover their tattoos or leave the state.
“I would certainly start with things like bandages or make-up or having it removed or alternatively people can choose not to live in Western Australia if this law is passed,” he said as the law was debated.
After being kicked out of the Hell’s Angels in 2021, he threw away all the club clothes he had when none of his former brothers showed up to pick them up.
His wife Jacinta Hill told a court in January that she applied makeup over his tattoos every day before he left for work.
He later tattooed over the Hell’s Angels forehead ink with black bars and filled in the diamond that the 1% er mark was around.
However, he added a new one on his head that says “f**k the police” and a swastika on his chin – which unlike bicycle symbols is not illegal in WA.
Brajkovich seems to take up so much space in the minds of WA authorities that his new ink has them talking about banning Nazi symbols, just as Victoria just did, citing him as the reason.
He recently got a huge “King of Kings” tattoo, complete with a spade, on a black background across his right cheek, but the enforcer was still there.
Brajkovich regularly comes to court in the most casual of attire, possibly to turn his nose at the authorities, and always has a thick $200,000 gold chain around his neck.

Most recently, he wore a T-shirt with three gold bars that read “you keep your silver,” along with a hat that covered his Hell’s Angels tattoo.
This related to him walking into the shop of the Perth Mint on June 13 last year and buying 300 grams of gold, worth about $27,000.
He also wore gold rings with large letters on them.
Brajkovich was kicked out of Hell’s Angels early last year after a brawl with other senior members sparked by his anger that members were partying with those from rival clubs.
Since then, the ex-cyclist has focused on his growing real estate portfolio, which includes two investment properties in addition to his own.
On his left ear is a tattoo of ‘6104’, the postcode for the Belmont area in south-east Perth, where he grew up and all of his belongings are located.

Brajkovich first gained notoriety for beating up rebel boss Nick Martin (left) in a pub in November 2020 – two weeks before he was shot dead by an assassin
Brajkovich first gained notoriety for beating up rebel boss Nick Martin in a pub in November 2020.
A source told the Daily Mail Australia that the shocking drinker brawl at The Sandbar on Scarborough Beach was part of a dispute over the territory of a tattoo parlor.
Two weeks later, Martin was shot dead about 300 yards away by a highly paid hit man as he watched from the stands of a drag racing event south of Perth.
Then, in March 2021, rebel bikie Jason Kemp, a former friend of Brajkovich, fired five or six bullets into his car outside his home in Ascot.
The Holden Commodore was shot down while his wife and seven-year-old son were inside, in retaliation for the Martin bashing.
Brajkovich returns to court next month and faces numerous charges for alleged violent rampage against tenants at one of his properties.
