About — Gild the Lily Tattoo

Emily Gauldreault

Gild the Lily Tattoo

"I'm a tattoo artist. But these aren't just tattoos. They're monuments. Proof that someone tried. And in a world that only remembers the last day, I'm making sure the best ones are remembered forever."

Emily is the sole owner and artist at Gild the Lily Tattoo, operating from her private studio in Windsor. What began as a passion for art evolved into a career built on trust, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

The name Gild the Lily speaks to Emily's philosophy: to take something already beautiful and elevate it further. Every client who sits in her chair brings a story, and she works closely with each person to translate that story into lasting art.

Specialising in blackwork, floral, ornamental, memorial portraiture, watercolour, and custom colour pieces, Emily approaches every tattoo as a collaboration — listening first, designing second, and executing with precision.

Philosophy

More Than Ink

"A tattoo isn't just something you wear — it's something you carry with you every day. I take that responsibility seriously. Every line, every shade, every detail matters."

Emily's studio is a space where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable. Whether it's a first tattoo or a full sleeve, the process starts with a conversation. She believes that the best tattoos come from genuine collaboration — understanding not just what you want, but why you want it.
