As a 10-year breast cancer survivor, I wanted to do something meaningful to mark this important milestone in my journey. I decided to get my very first tattoo and decided on a paramedical tattoo--something small to start, placed on my hysterectomy scar. I'm so incredibly happy with the results. The tattoo is not only beautiful, but it also represents strength, healing, and a new chapter. Meeting Holly was a true blessing. She made the entire process easy and completely stress-free. Her kindness, professionalism, and talent put me at ease right away. Because of this amazing experience, I now feel confident and inspired to eventually cover my breast scars as well. Thank you, Holly, for helping me reclaim my body in such an empowering and beautiful way. I couldn't be happier. read more

Holly is absolutely the 8th wonder of the world. I'm a recent cancer survivor and I know I will want her to do my paramedical tattoo to cover the surgical scars. Up until recently, I'd been terrified of needles. But having to go through all the tests, procedures, treatments and surgeries, there's no room for that any longer. I've always wanted tattoos and felt it was time. I asked Holly if she could do non-paramedical tattoos while my incisions healed. After talking with her on the phone, I knew I made the right choice. I got my first tattoos with her and I couldn't be happier. The discomfort was minimal (it felt like getting scratched) and before I knew it, she was done! She's kind, gentle, compassionate and does fantastic work! Members of my cancer support group saw my tattoos and now they all want Holly to do their tattoos. She's a true gift to those of us who are looking to turn our scars into something beautiful. read more

Gilded Lily - Tattoo Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Holly's work is beyond incredible. Accompanied a very nervous wifey who nevertheless has felt so bad about her scars, she wouldn't even put on a bathing suit. Well, Holly creates damn near miracles. She is an artist whose medium is body art. Her office is comfortable, charming, and a very generous space. Waited for wifey who I could hear laughing and enjoying herself, instead of what she thought would be a painful experience. After almost 5 hours, she emerged with the most beautiful flowers completely concealing the scars. Again, she won't let me post a photo - not even faceless - but since others have done so, you'll just have to take my word for it. Holly is a very busy lady who is sometimes booked months in advance, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Thank you for all your work, Holly! read more

Just had a piece done by Holly, and she does OUTSTANDING work. Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Not to mention that during the whole process she was friendly and made me feel very comfortable, making conversation throughout. If you are looking for an artist, you're not going to find anyone better than Holly! But contact her sooner rather than later, because she is heavily booked (I had to make my appointment 5 months in advance), but it is well worth the wait!! read more

To start, I'm a trans woman and was specifically looking for an artist who specialized in hyper realistic areola tattoo design as most regular tattoo shops seem to deliver rather flat looking, one dimensional results. In my search I found Holly and it turns out she's one of the best at this! I've currently had two sessions and can't say enough about how kind, patient, and collaborative she is about the process. This is my first tattoo experience and she gave me so much extra care to help with the pain. The second session was much better pain wise thanks to her advice and personally I can't recommend her enough for what she does! More than worth the commute to get to her and I'll be happy to see her soon for our final session. read more

Although Holly does great body art overall, her incredible talent shows in her paramedical tatooing. She does tattoos with 3-D shading that make the art so realistic that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between the original being copied and the tatoo. The Gilded Lily is a classy place and Holly's sensitivity to a cancer survivor's journey is incredible. She really understands that the tatoo to finalize reconstruction or cover a scar is both a physical and mental statement of moving on with life. The paramedical aspects of her business include tattoos for breast reconstruction, covering scars from all types of surgeries, and covering scars from domestic violence. I'd encourage anyone, male or female, to check out the Gilded Lily. read more

Holly does amazing work. You can tell she loves what she does it shows in all her detailed work. I'm happy I went to Holly for my tattoos

Holly did a phenomenal job covering an abdominal scar that I was tired of seeing in the mirror. I now have a family of dragonflies and the biggest one looks like it is stained glass...so pretty! Holly is very friendly and her shop is clean and private. I was new to getting a tattoo, and it was a pretty large one, and I would definitely would go back to her. I can't help but think what would I get done next! ;) read more

Holly designed memorial pieces for both my mom and I, and absolutely knocked them out of the park! Perfect is the only word we can find to describe her work! The amount of care and consideration she put into each piece was remarkable! This was the first tattoo either of us have ever had done, and Holly made it an incredibly beautiful experience that we will cherish in our memories forever! Holly was able to incorporate all elements we wanted, and her artistic eye created beautiful art to honor the memory of our lost loved one! The atmosphere she has created in the Gilded Lily is that of a zen garden: beautiful, clean, and calming! My mom and I are very grateful to Holly and the Gilded Lily for helping to make this important piece of our grieving process a dignified, cathartic experience resulting in 2 gorgeous memorials we will get to carry with us for the rest of our lives! read more

It's difficult to express just how grateful I am for what Holly was able to do for me in my journey to heal from a double mastectomy. I told her my vision and what she created completely exceeded my expectations. It is so, so beautiful. I can now look at myself again with pride, gratitude, hope and most of all, love. I was so ashamed of how I looked after the surgery and reconstruction but that is no longer the case. I avoided the mirror like the plague. Now, I sometimes find myself lifting up my shirt in the mirror just so I can gaze at this remarkable piece of art. Her shop is classy, comfortable, and discreet. Not your typical "on display" tattoo parlor. She is completely sensitive, respectful, and empathetic to the cancer journey. Thank you, Holly, I am forever grateful. read more

I am so grateful to Holly for her exceptional work, she is simply remarkable. I too just finished my journal with a double mastectomy and Holly made that experience a non forgettable one. I cried with joy after the first tattoo was done and my heart sank when she was done. I actually wanted to stay in front of the mirror and just look at my beautiful breasts. Holly, there are no words that can express my thanks and appreciation for you! read more
