Absolute Tattoo - Gold Coast

Really cool shop and friendly staff. Dane did a great job of reviving an old dull tattoo. Very happy with the result.

Great service from Rady and Kath, the Tattoo and design is amazing, congrats to Rady for his inspiration and artwork, plus the quality of the Tattoo.

Extremely friendly, well organised and really listens to what I wanted! Rady did an amazing job, thank you for your art! I will love it forever

The atmosphere of this place is very well designed but also slightly judging, if you don't fit in the certain click you feel as though you are being looked down on. As I got the tattoo done I got offered a lollipop which I thought was great. After getting the tattoo I went outside with my tattoo artist to get photos done and that is when another artist said something so rude and insensitive to my boyfriend that it ruined the entire tattoo experience, now as I look at the tattoo I only remember what he said and the emotions my boyfriend and I felt when we left. I almost went back in to yell at that man for saying what he said. Not only was it not professional, he also displayed himself as a horrible human being and I hope karma will get him back. I definitely won't be coming back here to get my future tattoos.

Rady tattooed my shoulder, I had over 10 sessions of lazer removal, my skin was scared and still had colour. Rady tattooed an awesome wave with palm trees & blended into old tribal black work, I was absolutely amazed with the finished tattoo & look forward to the next sessions & new ink.

Always a friendly comfortable and welcoming experience, great artists, friendly staff always checking clients comfort, one suggestion would be Is that for people sitting for long tattoos may be able to make a few song requests, have been coming here for a around 4 years now and will continue to be a loyal customer, massive thumbs up to rady for always doing great work, having great ideas and for just being an all round top bloke!

Drawn up exactly as asked, my Daughter & I are very happy. Price was great. Rady is the only guy I trust with my ink. He's done lots on me & I love them all.
Zara chick was lovely also.

I was really impressed with the service today at the shop in Kingscliff. Each time I’ve been in all the staff have treated me well with friendly attitudes along with quick service. The shop is very clean and smells clean also. Matt who did my tattoo was very professional and I’m really happy with my cover up that he did. I’d definitely come back again and will be recommending them to all my friends. I really love how they walk around offering out free lollipops for you to suck on to take your mind off of the pain you might be experiencing. Tash was wonderful knowing I wasn’t feeling 100% kept checking in on me offering water. Thanks guys for an awesome experience

Zoe is the bomb, such a talented legend, Highly recommend and the crew are good value too,
Thanks guys for another epic sesh

Absolutely stoked. All the staff were friendly and had Dane do my tattoo. He was fully accommodating to a change in design and tattoo location and did and unreal job. Will be back for sure.

Dane was amazing and gave me exactly what i wanted. I highly recommend him. Thank you. Will be back.

The guys at Absolute Tattoo Kingscliffe made sure I was relaxed re first time ever getting ink, everyone was positive and supportive, even playing Radio Birdman music as my tatoo was their insignia.
Zoe did my work and she was fabulous, but all the staff were great and I'm sure anyone of them would be great to get work done by.
Thanks guys for making my first time so much easier than I had imagined.

Been getting tattooed by these guys since day one, extremely happy with how everything works and it's a super comfortable environment.

Walking in I asked if anyone does fine lines and they guys responded "we all do fine lines". So naturally i think, cool- they do fine lines. I just wanted a sun like literally a circle with rays and the OUTLINE of a cactus, we are talking very minimal work here guys. The sun: I actually think a small child could of drawn it smoother.its so rough and the evidence of an unsteady hand (hint: that's like an optometrist treating you who is blind). Secondly my cactus is literally the fattest, blob in the world.like I ask for fine lines and they guy came back with the EXACT opposite. Fortunately my tattoos are very tiny and to the average person do not look bad but don't trust everything they say, ask to see work and JUDGE the person by there tattoos and appearance (sounds horrible but true).

I had my first tattoo here today, and I loved it, beautiful atmosphere and beautiful people. They made me feel really comfortable and well looked after. I loved the experience and I love the tattoo they did one me, they did an awesome and professional job. This will be my tattoo place for my next tattoos because I will return for sure. Thank you Dane

Its the second tattoo i have got from these guys both my kids have gotten tattoos from here they are the most friendliest people you could ever meet.my tattooist Matto is a dead set champion can turn anything into a master piece but in saying that the rest of the guys there are champions as well.cheers guys will be back in a few weeks

I had my first tattoo done at Absolute and I absolutely loved it! Super welcoming and kind staff and I am in love with my tattoo. They paid so much attention to detail! I'll definitely be visiting again

Jen did a Phoenix tattoo on my arm it's beautiful, am really pleased with Jens work. Will recommend Absolute Tattoo at Kingscliff to everyone, the shop has really good vibes liked the experience and will be back for more tattoos.

Being my first time, I meet with Zoey, she helped with the design and was absolutely amazing.
Thank you Zoey. I would recommend Absolute Tattoo Kingscliff to every one.

Rady listened and discussed tattoo designs with us, my husband & I were made to feel welcome, the atmosphere was relaxed and the studio clean well set out.

I was tattooed around mid-day on Sunday. By evening, around the tattoo was red, swollen and painful. Monday afternoon, the doctor said I had cellulitis and put me on a course of anti-biotics with a repeat. He drew a line around the infection and said that if the red went outside the line I was admit myself to hospital so they could put me on IV anti-biotics.

This is not uncommon when people get tattoos. Bacteria on the skin is pushed into the lower levels of skin and causes the body's immune system to respond. I don't know why I got cellulitis. The needle was new and my skin had been cleaned before hand because I'd asked for the stencil to be relocated. Unfortunate and unpredictable.

Bottom line:

I am a responsible adult that made the choice to have a tattoo. I was aware of the potential for anything to go awry and in this case it did. The cellulitis has, thankfully, responded to the anti-biotics, however; the experience was unpleasant.

The tattoo has scabbed up, is peeling nicely and I love it. Thank you, Rady.

P. S. Maybe I had this experience to bring awareness to others.
