The Gilded Goblin Tattoo

The Gilded Goblin Tattoo is a studio in Adelaide, located upstairs in the Adelaide Arcade and accessible by stairs or a wheelchair-accessible elevator. Operating predominantly by appointment only, the studio was created to be a safe, comfortable, and accessible space for people to get tattooed. Owner George Gilles works alongside senior artists Aneta Szumny and Sonja Bow, who together bring over 20 years of combined experience in the tattoo industry, plus a wider team of resident and full-time artists.

The team describes itself as a group of women, gender-diverse, neurodiverse, and queer folk, and welcomes all clients who respect their diversity and intersectional identities. The studio operates on the unceded land of the Kaurna people and states its commitment to working ethically and respectfully on Kaurna Country. Prospective clients can get in touch through an online enquiry form or by email, and the studio shares aftercare guidance and placement photos on its site, alongside updates on last-minute openings and flash days for those who sign up for its mailing list.
