Gold Coast Tattoos is a family owned and run company comprising three studios: Skin FX Tattoos, Crossfire Tattoos and Gold Coast Tattoos. Established on the Gold Coast in 1985, we have come to be the most well-known, respected and experienced tattoo studios housing some of Australia's best tattooists that specialise in all styles of tattooing, big or small.
Ben began tattooing in 1994, under his father Paul, and currently works out of the Gold Coast Tattoos studio. Ben is incredibly versatile, and his extensive experience in the industry allows him to comfortably adapt to any style of tattooing providing work of the highest quality. His favourite styles include black and grey, colour realism, Latino or Chicano designs, graffiti, and organic biomech.
His send-off showed the love and respect he had gained over his short life with friends and industry professionals from all over the world travelling to show their respects and say goodbye to a great man. Not a day goes by that he is not thought of by his family, friends and all those who proudly wear his art.

I have been getting tattooed by the owner Ben for over 13 years now and have continued to come back. The service he provides isn’t just the amazing and professional artwork but the personal touch, the experience, communication and understanding of what I wanted. Since then I have been tattooed by other apprentices he has had being Jess, Spike and Bob and have always been a great experience.
Being a family owned and run buisness the staff have always been welcoming and a friendly safe place to be.

First of all, great communication when I reached out for a quote with quick response time and very reasonable pricing.
Amazing inkwork by my artist Spike, like seriously, 100% nailed the execution of transforming the design into a stunning piece of art that I couldn't be happier with
11/10 will be back

They are such a great bunch. Very chill atmosphere. The findings Ben has drawn up are beautiful. Above and beyond in hygiene, customer service as well as other things like friendliness and designs. They are patient with you as the tattoo will be on your body forever. They take pride in their work and I will definitely be sticking with they as long as the to lovely Spike,Jess and Ben will be there. They vibe they give is like they are family and they bounce of each other and it's really calming to be around. I'm very pleased with service .
