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.

My sister and I were walk-ins for two very small, simple tattoos. The artist was friendly, but the…read moreexperience quickly became concerning and unprofessional. Looking back, we should have paid more attention to the red flags, but we were excited, as we'd been planning these tattoos for two years (she lives 3,000 miles away so we don't see each other much). Because we didn't have an appointment, we were assigned an artist named Jason, who wasn't even listed on the shop's website and had no portfolio available. We assumed it would be fine since our designs were so simple, my sister's was a small 4-inch tattoo on her inner wrist, and mine was a six‑word handwritten sentence on my arm. Before starting, Jason stepped outside to grab his tattoo equipment from his car. That was the first sign something was off. Before coming back inside, he took a cigarette break, and came back smelling heavily of cigarette smoke. Once we were in the room, it was obvious his hands were quite shaky. My sister went first, and her tattoo took about fifteen minutes. When he finished, he folded up a paper towel, not a sterile pad, just the same roll he'd been using to wipe ink, and placed it over her tattoo. Then he wrapped blue painter's tape around it. Not sterile, medical tape of any kind, painter tape that came straight out of his backpack. When it was my turn, he needed six attempts to place the stencil straight, and each time he repositioned it, he didn't bother wiping off the previous placement. My tattoo took under 10 minutes, and afterwards he covered it with the same paper towel and painter's tape setup. As we were leaving, I realized we hadn't signed any consent forms or waivers. When I brought it up, he brushed it off and said it wasn't necessary. For payment, he insisted on cash and pointed to an ATM, even though the website clearly states they accept credit cards. I paid with my credit card since I hadn't brought cash or debit, but he seemed irritated that I didn't use cash. When we got home and I removed the paper towel, I immediately noticed that my tattoo didn't match the handwriting sample I provided. It was supposed to be my late mother's handwriting, and the final result doesn't resemble her writing at all. I understand it wouldn't be perfect, but all he had to do was trace the stencil. Needless to say, my sister and I are both very dissatisfied with the experience. I'm sure the outcome would have been very different with another artist, but it is ultimately the shop owner's responsibility to ensure that all employees follow proper safety practices, maintain hygienic standards, and use sterile equipment.

Olivia did an awesome job. It has been twenty plus years since my last tattoo. She took plenty of…read moretime to answer my question and put my mind at ease. She was kind and considerate and made the process easy. I have had plenty of tattoos in the past amd I can say she is very light handed, hence her nick name, Angel Hands. Tattoos can become uncomfortable after awhile especial when it is an all day sitting. But she made is as comfortable as possible. Dont let her young age fool you, she is an exceptional artist and tattooist. She is a great addition to their shop, and I will be coming back to her again in the near future. When the tattoo she is working on is finished, I will post a picture of her work.

We all LOVE the pieces that she's done for us! In addition to being creative and highly skilled, she's also really fun and easy to talk to. Every session has been enjoyable, and I always feel excited and proud to bring another loved one in to get tattooed by her. 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. They turned out even better than I was envisioning! I get compliments on them all the time. I'm already dreaming up my next tattoos and can't wait to work with Kat again! As far as the shop itself, Golden Child is clean, professional, and friendly. Every time I've come in, the owner and multiple other artist swing by throughout the session to check on Kat and on me, see if we need anything, and compliment the tattoo. Golden Child has built a little family, and it resonates in everything they do. Highly recommend!
