Every figure here is computed from Google review data that Starworks collects for tattoo studios in South Yarra, VIC, recalculated when this page rebuilds. Placement on this list cannot be bought.
How many tattoo studios does Starworks rank in South Yarra?
Starworks ranks 14 tattoo studios in South Yarra, VIC, holding 3,963 Google reviews between them. Across the 14 the median rating is 4.9 stars from a median of 156 reviews. Of the 14, all are rated 4.5 or better and 9 have passed 100 reviews. The most-reviewed carries 1,003 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 South Yarra?
The median Google rating across the 14 tattoo studios Starworks ranks in South Yarra, VIC is 4.9 stars, and all of them sit at 4.5 or above. A rating at or near that median is ordinary for tattoo studios in South Yarra, VIC 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 South Yarra have?
The median tattoo studio Starworks ranks in South Yarra, VIC carries 156 Google reviews, and 9 of the 14 tattoo studios have passed 100. The most-reviewed of them carries 1,003.
How does Starworks rank tattoo studios in South Yarra?
Starworks gives every tattoo studio in South Yarra, VIC 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 South Yarra 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 South Yarra, VIC. 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 14 distinct tattoo studios in South Yarra, VIC rather than a longer list of repeats.
How often is this list of tattoo studios in South Yarra updated?
This ranking of tattoo studios in South Yarra, VIC 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 South Yarra?
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 South Yarra, VIC carries 156 Google reviews at 4.9 stars.
