About Skin FX Tattoos Gold Coast

Skin FX Tattoos sits on Cavill Avenue in the heart of Surfers Paradise, on the corner of Orchid Ave. Family-run and fully licensed by Queensland Health, it is one of the longest-running tattoo studios on the Gold Coast, with roots going back to the early 1990s.

The resident crew covers a broad range of work, from American traditional, neo-traditional and traditional Japanese through to realism, dot work and geometric design, alongside small fine-line pieces and large custom builds. Walk-ins are welcome and booked custom appointments sit comfortably beside them, so the studio suits both a spontaneous first piece and a long-planned sleeve.

Decades of combined experience and a central, easy-to-find location make it a steady choice for locals and visitors passing through the strip.
