GOOD VIBES. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE.
Started by Kim Deakins in 2016, Pink Goblin is a female-owned and operated tattoo & piercing studio in Athens, GA. We’re all about creating a clean, fun, and professional atmosphere where clients and artists can connect. We aim to provide an elevated, client-focused experience, while offering high-quality tattoos and piercings. Unity, community, and empowerment are our core values. Pink Goblin welcomes all genders, religions, races, and orientations.
Sunscreen is a literal lifesaver! If you plan to be out in the sun, protect your skin (and your beautiful tattoos) by applying plenty of sunscreen.
If you hate the feeling of sunscreen all over your body, then wear something that covers your skin…..find some shade…..wear a hat….avoid the most intense UV exposure hours.
Protect your tattoos! Protect your skin - it’s the largest organ of the human body❤️❤️

Nothing and no one is perfect ❤️. Sometimes bad things happen but we have control in how we react. Today’s question for some of our tattoo artists : What’s the worst thing that can happen during a tattoo?
Do you agree with any of these answers? What’s he worst that can happen?

It’s summer, it’s hot outside….and you have a fresh new piercing. That cool pool, lake, river, ocean is looking pretty inviting, BUT please remember that if you want that piercing to heal properly you need to follow the recommended aftercare protocol. No swimming for at least 6-8 weeks! Stay safe out there!

Let’s talk piercing aftercare! We don’t expect clients to know all of the Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to taking care of your new piercing. That’s why we send every client home with a comprehensive guide on how to care for your new body mod! Our piercers are incredibly knowledgeable, so if you ever have any questions or concerns, don’t ask Google….ask one of our piercers! You can either reach out to them directly or call the shop! You’ve got questions, we have the answers. Be safe out there and look fabulous at the same time!!

There is so much that goes into preparing for a tattoo! Your artist spends A LOT of time working outside of the studio. Ever wonder how much time a tattoo artist spends drawing outside of the studio each week? As you can imagine, the answer to that question will vary….but here is what some of the artists at Pink Goblin had to say. How much time do you spend working outside of the office?

Let’s hear it for the one and only Caroline-Mae, whose heart is as big as her talent! She’s been with us for a year now and we are so lucky to get to sing her praises to you right now!
Long before she was wielding tattoo machines, Caroline-Mae has been a connoisseur of critters. We’re talking about a childhood where lizards were apparently the chicest earrings a person could sport. Forget diamonds – give her a gecko! Her early pet roster included bugs and frogs, each with a special name and a place in her wildly imaginative world. We wouldn’t be surprised if “Popsicle” the roly-poly or “Slither” the garden snake were among her earliest muses.
And speaking of muses, you might not know about her secret weapon: her “Cinderella skirt.” This wasn’t just any dress-up tutu; this was the tutu. Worn under her outfits, it became less a skirt and more a magical belt, yet she insisted on wearing it because some things are just pure joy, even if they’re held together by sheer will and a bit of elastic. It’s no wonder she has such an incredible sense of style today – always standing out, always uniquely Caroline-Mae.
Her love for the whimsical didn’t stop there. Picture a tiny artist in ruby slippers, tapping her heels, ready to declare, “There’s no place like home!” just like Dorothy. That Wizard of Oz magic clearly stuck, because Caroline-Mae still brings that same wonder to everything she touches.
Seriously, she can make anything into art. Give her a potato and she’d probably sculpt a masterpiece. No artistic endeavor is too grand, too weird, or too complicated for her creative mind.
She’s not just an artist; she’s a friend to all. Her love for critters and her friends is truly boundless, and if you’re lucky enough to be her tattoo client, you might just get one of her famous big hugs (from a tiny body). It’s no exaggeration to say she’s genuinely the sweetest soul you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting.
So, next time you’re at Pink Goblin, give a cheer for Caroline-Mae! She’s more than an artist; she’s a little bit of magic, a whole lot of heart, and a wonderfully quirky force of nature. We’re incredibly lucky to have her! ⚡️Caroline-Mae’s books are currently open⚡️

Our dear friend and artist at the studio @carolinemaetattoos could really use some support as she prepares for two surgeries to be able to continue tattooing. If you are in a position of abundance, please consider supporting this wonderful human.
There is a link in our bio to the GFM page!
From the gofundme:
This is a fundraiser for Caroline Corder who is a supportive person, incredible artist, and wonderful sister. We are raising money to help pay for wrist and hip surgeries that have been causing her chronic pain for the past 8 years. These afflictions have affected her ability to work and overall quality of life.
Living with chronic pain isn’t easy. It’s all the harder when your source of income relies on the parts that are in pain. Tattoo artists, blue collar workers, and anyone who uses their hands to work long and rigorous hours know what this is like.
Pushing through to live paycheck by paycheck is often the only option while (semi) permanent solutions are locked behind paywalls by medical and insurance corporations. We should work as a community to help these people in need – with that being said, anything helps! Be it a dollar or cent, it’s the person behind it who counts.
