About The Gilded Goblin Tattoo

The Gilded Goblin is a tattoo studio tucked inside the heritage Adelaide Arcade off Grenfell Street in the city centre, describing itself as a safe space for all goblins great and small.

Run by a team of women, gender-diverse, neurodiverse and queer artists with a combined couple of decades in the trade, the centre leans toward illustrative, fine-line and black-and-grey work and puts real weight on comfort and accessibility, from sensory-friendly lighting and sound to careful, step-by-step attention over each design. It works predominantly by appointment, which suits people who want a collaborative, unhurried piece rather than a quick walk-in.

For clients who value an inclusive studio and original artwork, it's a well-regarded choice in central Adelaide.

How do I book at The Gilded Goblin?

Fill out the studio's online booking form thoroughly so the team can match you with the right artist, and allow up to 5-plus business days for a reply.

Does the studio take walk-ins?

The studio works predominantly by appointment rather than walk-ins.

Is the studio wheelchair accessible?

Yes. The whole team is neurodiverse and the space is set up to be sensory-friendly, with soft background music, non-flickering lighting and noise-cancelling headphones available.
