Last year he was given a five-year good-behaviour bond after he pleaded guilty to four counts of dishonesty causing a loss after lodging false declarations of income on his 2013 and 2014 tax returns.

He admitted under-declaring his income to the Australian Taxation Office to dodge paying more than $74,000 in tax on income from two tattoo parlours he helped operate in Milton and Fortitude Valley.

He has since sold the tattoo parlours.
