    Freshly done
    Naomi C.

    I got my first tattoo here and Micah did a phenomenal job! With relatively few instructions, he designed exactly what I had wanted. He helped with sizing and placement options and was the picture of professionalism and artistry. The tattoo healed quickly and effortlessly. I'm obsessed! You should absolutely get a tattoo from Micah.

    Blake tattooed me and I'm stoked with how it came out! This guy has some amazing shading and does quick work! Definitely coming back for my next one! Thanks again dude

    Amazing experience overall, incredibly COVID safe, easy breezy tattoo. Sarah was my artist, made everything comfortable, adjusted the sizing and placement, I was able to place lots of trust in her judgement. Highly recommend, I had already heard great things about this place and definitely am a fan now.

    My son gave me the gift of a tattoo for my birthday. This is my first, and only, tattoo. My son set an appointment with Ben. We gave Ben a picture of our idea, which he translated into a drawing that perfectly imaged what we wanted. I could not be more pleased with Ben's work. He did an excellent job!

    Today was my first time here and I will definitely be going back. Jon did my tattoo and he was so awesome. Very laid back and made sure my tattoo not only had the best placement but made sure I was happy. As you can see, it is a very simple tattoo, but the care he showed was awesome. Definitely recommend this place.

    We come here to get all of our tattoos (we've actually been coming since it's been out in Bonsall, but have never written a review before). All of the tattoo artists who work out of the shop are great but we use Sam Phillips. The most recent piece I got was a camping (s'mores) themed tattoo on my left forearm. I'm in love. The hubby and I will continue coming here and referring anyone who asks for as long as we can!

    Friendly staff and vibes. All the artists are cool, and willing to work with whatever your idea is going to be. Professional and so much art to look at while you hang.

    Wow. I must say, I'm blown away by the work. I've been following Ben for years now and finally decided to make the drive down and get that apt. I've been to plenty of shops and artists and by far, this has been my best experience. From walking into the waiting front room which is decorated with amazing flashes old and new the vibe was set. We know our shit. We are professional. You will love the work. They killed it in all three. I will be back.

    I wanted a tattoo with a lot of specific detail. Toni did an amazing job and worked with me while I was paranoid about getting everything right. Booking experience was great, with a thorough consultation process. Tattooing experience was awesome, because the room has a good vibe and Toni is super chill and calm. Great antidote for people like me who get antsy whenever getting new ink. Highly recommend this shop and Toni specifically

    Wanted to get matching tattoos with my daughter before she left for college. We had some free time today walked into American Tattoo, they helped us out right away. The shop is clean and everyone was really friendly. Price was great for what we wanted. Would absolutely go back again.

    My original tattoo gotten 5+ years ago that needed to be touched up badly
    Callista S.

    I thought my tattoo touchup was long overdue (I got the original tattoo 5 or so years ago by another artist), so I gave them a call and came in same day. Got not only a touchup but a revamp and added color as well. Gorgeous work. My artist was Hunter and he is absolutely an amazing person. I felt a little queasy and lightheaded at the beginning and he was so nice and patient about taking a long break and they brought me cold water, tic tacs and even the woman who ran the front desk that day went and got me a candy bar. They also have a cool numbing spray I never experienced at shops in Washington & Illinois that made the rest of it almost painless. I was amazed by how well he cleaned up the lines that bled out pretty bad, and the addition of color makes it look better than the day I got it! Also, free touch ups for life getting work through them! Will be returning for my next tattoo and touchup.

    Ollie the Impaler at Locally Famous is amazing. He walked me through my ear piercing options with…read morepatience and care. His training and experience made me feel comfortable. After care is so important to any piercing and based on my line of work, I had to go for a more traditional piercing than what I was considering. I went with two additional lobe piercings versus a cartilage option (there are soooo many different options for ear piercings and he went through all of it with me!!)! Overall, I felt like this was the best decision for me, based off the consultation with Ollie and I'm really happy with the results. This place passes all the vibe checks and I'd recommend Ollie without hesitation. 5 stars all around!

He was very friendly and answered all my questions, even though I wasn't the one who got pierced. My friend was nervous and he was very patient with her, and was able to set her at ease. He very thoroughly explained the process to her and did the piercing without causing her any pain. He's also fair priced. He has a very clean space that is nicely decorated all around. Definitely a cool dude, while being very professional. My only complaint would be how hot the place was. It was even humid in there.

Kat takes the time to really understand the vision and heart behind each request, then works hard to bring that request to life! My tattoos are beautiful and have all healed well.

    I was not satisfied with my visit to Golden Child today because I believe the experience should…read morehave been handled better. This will be a detailed review of what I observed and experienced. Short version: Better time management is needed with appointments and clients who have placed deposits. There is no reason for clients to be scheduled for specific appointment times if they are then left waiting 30+ minutes past that time to be seen. Also blood around the piercing site should be properly cleaned before allowing the client to leave. Longer version: I made an appointment for my baby's earlobe piercing at 1:30 PM. We arrived at 1:20 PM to check in and were greeted and asked to complete the waiver online. While we were waiting, there were multiple clients in the foyer, it seemed like a busy part of the day but I was relived to have made an appointment for our visit . During this time, another client was visibly upset and speaking with Birdie. That interaction escalated to the point where they moved the conversation outside. Our appointment was with Birdie, we waited patiently while this was handled. However, this interaction extended into our appointment time. Birdie finished the conversation around or shortly after 1:30 PM, at which point she appeared visibly flustered and behind schedule. Another client who had been waiting before us was taken back, and we continued to wait. We were not called back until close to 2:00 PM, approximately 30 minutes past our scheduled appointment time. At that point, our baby was understandably fussy from the extended wait. When we were finally brought back, Birdie explained the process and how she wanted us to hold the baby. However, the entire interaction felt rushed. I understand that infant piercings require efficiency, but that does not justify a rushed appointment process. No piercing should be rushed, regardless of the client's age. Additionally, directly after the piercing, we noticed visible blood left on and around my daughter's earlobe. I will include photos for reference. I thought based on standard infection control practices and the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, any visible blood should be properly cleaned and the area disinfected before the client leaves. I personally have a good amount of body piercings that were done at reputable piercing shops and have never left without the piercing sight being cleaned and inspected. Final concern: My main concerns are the lack of time management with scheduled appointments, the rushed nature of the procedure, and the inadequate cleaning after the piercing. I believe these are important areas that should be addressed for client safety and overall service quality.

I never received the design. On the day of the appointment, I showed up. Skye did not. She canceled last minute and asked to reschedule. Because I am deploying soon with the military, rescheduling was not an option. I explained this calmly and requested a refund, since the artist failed to show up. Skye initially said she would send it, then completely stopped responding. What frustrates me most is the lack of accountability. A deposit should not be kept when no service is provided and the artist is the one who cancels. Being ignored afterward made the situation even worse. This was handled very poorly, and I can't recommend booking with Skye based on my experience.

We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed.

My piercer was named Lily and she was very kind. She could tell again that I was unsure of which size I wanted and put each size up to my nose and was very patient in letting me decide. She was very nice and soft spoken and did a really good job with my piercing and I'm very satisfied. She was very thorough and explaining the directions of the aftercare with my piercing.
