Common questions about tattoo studios in Adelaide.

Who are the best tattoo studios in Adelaide?

As of October 2026, the 3 highest-ranked tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA on the Starworks directory are Day One Atelier (5.0 stars from 523 Google reviews), The paper moon tattoo (5.0 stars from 235 Google reviews) and The paper moon tattoo collective (5.0 stars from 219 Google reviews). Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.

How many tattoo studios does Starworks rank in Adelaide?

Starworks ranks 100 tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA, holding 9,751 Google reviews between them. Across the 100 the median rating is 5.0 stars from a median of 39 reviews. Of the 100, 92 are rated 4.5 or better and 29 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 1,055 reviews, more than the top-ranked tattoo studio holds, which is why rating alone does not set the order.

What star rating should I expect from a good tattoo studio in Adelaide?

The median Google rating across the 100 tattoo studios Starworks ranks in Adelaide, SA is 5.0 stars, and 92 of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA rather than a warning sign on its own, and a rating well above it only means much when enough reviews stand behind it.

How many Google reviews does an established tattoo studio in Adelaide have?

The median tattoo studio Starworks ranks in Adelaide, SA carries 39 Google reviews, and 29 of the 100 tattoo studios have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 1,055.

How does Starworks rank tattoo studios in Adelaide?

Starworks gives every tattoo studio in Adelaide, SA a reputation score out of 100 from three things: its Google star rating (up to 47 points), how many reviews back that rating (up to 35), and whether customers can reach it by website and phone number (up to 18). Review volume is the one part that can subtract: below 15 reviews it costs points, because a near-empty review record gives a stranger very little to go on. No score falls below 0 and placement cannot be bought. The score measures the strength of a business's public review record rather than the quality of its work, so it is worth reading the reviews as well, and every listing links to them on Google.

Why does a tattoo studio in Adelaide with all 5-star reviews score lower than one with a lower rating?

Because review volume counts as well as rating, and below 15 reviews it counts against you. Five perfect reviews are encouraging but thin evidence; three hundred reviews averaging 4.7 tell a stranger far more about what to expect on the day. That is a judgement about how much proof exists, not about the quality of the work, and a newer tattoo studio with a handful of excellent reviews may still be the right choice in Adelaide, SA. The star rating and review count sit next to every score so you can weigh both yourself.

Why does the same tattoo studio not appear several times on this list?

Some businesses run more than one Google listing, often one per suburb they service. Those are the same company, so Starworks groups them and shows the business once, using the listing with the strongest review record. That is why this page opens with 50 distinct tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA rather than a longer list of repeats.

How often is this list of tattoo studios in Adelaide updated?

This ranking of tattoo studios in Adelaide, SA rebuilds on a 30-day cycle and prints the date of its last rebuild above the list, which for the current version is October 2026. Ratings and review counts are re-read from Google over time rather than on a fixed schedule, so an individual figure here can be older than the rebuild date.

How can I improve my tattoo studio business ranking in Adelaide?

Collect genuine customer reviews consistently, and keep a working website and phone number on your Google listing, because those are the three inputs the score reads. There is no placement to buy on this page. For scale: the median tattoo studio Starworks ranks in Adelaide, SA carries 39 Google reviews at 5.0 stars.
