I'll preface this by saying I'm an absolute wuss, and although I have 15 tattoos, none have taken longer than 90 minutes. So I said to myself I'd never get another wrist tattoo again, well now I remember why. I had a small plane tattooed by Luke on my wrist - and it killed! But it also only took 10 minutes at most, so I'll stop my whinging now! A friend and I were a walk in after she'd read good reviews about Gold Coast tattoos / Skin FX. The lady on the front desk was lovely, and quickly gave us a quote, and printed the work we wanted done. The studio is extremely clean, everything was new (as you'd expect) and everyone is friendly - the photos of work around the shop all look pretty amazing (but then you wouldn't display it if it wasn't) I warned Luke how I don't handle pain, and he got to work. Very happy with my "tiny tattoo", and I'll go back next time I'm in QLD wanting ink. Cost was $110 (shop minimum), which is decent considering some of the prices you see some days in Australia (unfortunately nothing like the $60 minimum I had in Austin, TX) The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is I didn't have custom worked designed, and I think that's the real test of an artist (well that and cover ups!), so don't want to give anyone false hope just yet! read more

Skin FX Tattoos - In love with my latest tiny tattoo! - Tattoo Near Me - Surfers Paradise, QLD

Mark and Wayne were very friendly and made me feel comfortable getting my first tattoo. They were able to get me a time slot within 30 minutes and the session was about 45 minutes, including preparation and ink. They have plenty of different art to sample including many Japanese styed artwork and the facility is fairly clean. The location is located next to a convenience store and is on the second level. Likewise, they even charged me less than I was quoted due to how quick of a session it was. Definitely glad I came through on my trip. read more
