I got my first tattoo here a couple weeks ago! It was a great experience, everyone was so kind and Miranda took me right away. Everything was clean and sanitary and for my first tattoo it was all over a great experience. I ended up coming back to buy some nose jewelry and their piercer Wendi was so kind to me, I plan on going back to get some piercings in the future! read more

Got my 2nd piece from Hannah about 2 weeks ago and I was absolutely blown away by her creativity. Best tattoo artist that I've ever been too hands down and very personable as well and makes you feel comfortable at all times during the process. She asked tons of questions during the process to ensure that I was feeling okay throughout it. Don't think I could go anywhere else to get a tattoo. 10/10 rating from me! read more

Wendi was great! I had a second lobe piercing that was uneven and had grown back. It was done around 35 years ago at one of those 'chain' stores that used a piercing gun. That was the last time I had any piercing, so a lot has changed since then. This time I also wanted a helix piercing, but even though I had searched online (beware of bad info on random sites) and checked the diagram on the GSS site, I was confused about the different types/locations of piercings. I explained that I was a novice and Wendi was understanding. She pierced the second lobe hole again--evenly placed--as well as the helix. She doesn't use the piercing gun, which can be inaccurate. Wendi explained everything through the process, everything was clean, and she went through the aftercare process thoroughly. I plan to go back and have another piercing done by Wendi. read more

I've gotten two tattoos here with Hannah, and she's amazing!! I love her personality and her work is amazing. She always talks me through what she's about to do, and I'm able to ask her any questions I may have even after I leave the studio. Hannah is a 10/10, and she'll always be my go-to! read more

Let me start by prefacing that I had already heard great talk about this place from constituents, respectively especially towards Justin Maness, so when I happened to meet him out and about on evening at one of my favorite eating spots I was enthralled. I immediately booked his time! I specified my wants aesthetically and fast forward 6 months later he still remembered what I wanted. I walked in to the appointment expecting him to hear about what I wanted all over again and have him free hand something but no, this man literally remembered our convo from 6 months ago and had already curated a piece that specifically suited my wants, I was impressed!! He was very professional. I gave him complete artistic creativity and he did the damn thing! I will be going back to complete my whole arm. read more

This is my 3rd tattoo session with two different artists. The folks who drop these tats are phenomenal people, very talented artists and actually care about you and what you want. After my second tattoo I had some healing issues and my tattoo artist was checking in on my every other day just to make sure things were going well. I am very pleased with the service received here at a reasonable price for the fantastic art here. I would 10/10 recommend this place to anyone looking for tattoos at a reasonable price for great quality! read more

I came in for a walk-in piercing by Wendi. It was around 4pm on a Saturday and I only waited around 20 minutes. Wendi was really personable and made sure I loved the placement of the piercing. It was my third lobe piercing and she made sure the spacing was even with my existing piercings. She also gave me a recommendation on if I had the anatomy for a rook and told me honestly that mine wasn't ideal :'). Overall great experience, thanks Wendi! read more

I got my second lobes pierced by Wendi. She was really knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable. You do need to know what you want before you do the paperwork but I don't think that's unreasonable. I don't know what these bad reviews are talking about. read more

Hannah was kind, and incredibly talented. 10/10 highly recommend. Shop is clean, they're very caring with aftercare and it's a great location. read more

Clean, thorough, professional, knowledgeable, reasonable prices, and quick. I had work done with Wendi. Definitely recommend her services.

I went to get my second lobe piercings. The service was very fast and Wendy, the piercer, was friendly and knowledgeable. She really knows what she is doing and explained the right way to clean and care for piercings (#no rubbing alcohol or H2O2). The piercings were also very reasonably priced and included flat back studs or hoops with the cost of the piercing. I will definitely be going back if I ever decide I want another piercing! read more

I was a walk in and I had the best experience here !!! Everyone was so nice !! I got a tattoo for my sister and I had a wonderful lady named Hannah help me with designing my tattoo and tattooing me !! She was so nice and explained everything to a T and I couldn't have been happier with my tattoo. I don't know which one I'm more happier with ... my tattoo...or my experience there!! read more

I love Wendy. She's friendly, personable and knowledge. She gave me my first nose piercing years ago -- before she was at Golden Spiral. When I decided to get another one I searched for her. read more

I would just like to say, I know nothing about the tattoo artist there, but this post is about their peircer. While her process and peircings themselves are good, her jewlery is questionable and never answered my questions about what the metal was, her jewlery styles are outdated, and her aftercare is very awfully outdated. Her aftercare instructions are to use Dial antibacterial soap, which has been out of date and unprofessional for years. Her recommendation of Dial soap is very outdated and potentially harmful. Be very careful if you get a peircing here for your peircings healing and overall health. read more

I was in search of remembrance tatt of my great nephews name I called around everywhere. When I called Spiral the receptionist was very pleasant that drew me in. She said come on down will take a look. She didn't hand me any BS. I arrived they had time, as I was a walk in told me to come back in a few. Got my tatt from Matt I was please with the service and the responsibility of the staff wearing there mask. read more

I went in for a piercing. The ladies that let us in the building were super nice and helpful. Wendi, their piercer, was very rude and not helpful at all. She even badmouthed other studios. I ended up walking out before she even did my piercing because she was so rude. I'm from out of town and will definitely stick to my studio at home. read more

I came here for my first tattoo with Matt and I could not be happier! I sent him some designs so when I walked in, we consulted over placement and design and we were all set. I got it on my ribs, which I was expecting to be super painful considering being my first tattoo, but he calmed my nerves and reassured me I sat very well. I had some additional ideas for my tattoo and he knew what his style and my intentions were and they completely matched. I could not be happier and would definitely recommend! read more

I hadn't worn any earrings in years and so the holes closed up, and wanted to get them re-pierced. After doing some research, I decided to go to Wendi at Golden Spiral. She was friendly and made me feel like I was in a good, professional place to get a piercing. A few weeks after I had accidentally lost the gem on one of my earrings and she offered a replacement, though luckily I was able to find it. I would definitely recommend her and the studio for anyone looking to get a piercing, and I plan to return in the future. read more

Wendi is INCREDIBLE. She gave me exactly what i wanted with my piercings AND she fixed one that hadn't healed from a different shop. Everything was sterile and they have tons of jewelry options. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

Colin did an awesome job! I went in for my first tattoo and was a little nervous- it was practically painless and Colin was very professional but friendly at the same time. The place was clean and the atmosphere was professional and relaxing. I am really looking forward to my next one! Colin also did my son, and did an awesome job!! read more

I came in with my friend who was planning on getting her tongue pierced. The piercer, Wendi, asked if we were both getting something done. I was planning on getting a piercing Saturday anyways and I'm at a piercing place right now so why not? I asked about getting another nostril piercing and was showing her. Wendi was really rude and was like "Stop touching your nose. No, you can't get it done. There's no room." I completely get that not every piercing is possible but her tone was off. The way she talked to my friend right next to me was completely different. A lot nicer. My friend went back to get her tongue pierced and came out five minutes later. She wasn't able to because of a vein in her tongue (again, understandable. Not everyone piercing works for everyone's anatomy and at least Wendi didn't ignore that.) However, my friend said that 1. Wendi ignored that she felt nervous. A tongue piercing can be scary and my friend said Wendi didn't make her feel comfortable at all. Wendi said she shouldn't be nervous, that she wouldn't count down, she just should get over it, stuff like that. 2. Wendi's attitude changed once she realized it couldn't be done. She walked right past us and didn't say goodbye or anything. It's not a requirement but still, why not something like "sorry it couldn't be done. Maybe next time we can do something else! Have a good one." The bare minimum. I've heard good reviews from my other friends but they were white and my friend and I happen to be people of color. I don't know if she was rude because of a race thing or because she realized she couldn't make money from us. But I'm glad I didn't give her my money and next time, I'll go see the piercer at another place who wasn't rude. read more

First off, I would like to preface this review by noting that the one bad review of this place was given by a reviewer who has bothered to write only 4 reviews in a total of one year. That speaks for itself. Second, this place was excellent. This is coming from the standpoint of Mom, who took her daughter to get her belly button pierced with a fellow mom and daughter. I called ahead and checked pricing, and was given the proper information on piercing under the age of 18. Conveniently located downtown and easy to find, nicely set up, and not like most tattoo businesses, which I always find a bit skeezy. Not because they are a tattoo business but because of their employees. Tattoos or not, you can tell a lot by the professionalism, and Rob Bishop had it. He answered the million questions the girls asked and thoroughly went over the process very patiently. Everything was clean, pricing was affordable, and his personality was great! I also really respected the fact he would not say anything negative about competing tattoo businesses in Greensboro. That is really good business practice in my book and I will definitely be recommending him and the business! read more

Love this studio! I had such a great experience here. From my initial contact on their website to working with my artist designing the perfect piece for me. This wasn't my first tattoo but was the first big piece, and an actual investment and first original art. I couldn't tell you that artist ( or apprentice?) who did my other tattoos so I guess that goes to show you what being 18 and having $100 will buy you. Almost 20 years later, and looking back at the realllly bad tattoos I got when I was younger, made me want to have something I was really proud of. A lot friends recommended Golden Spiral because of cleanliness and the incredible artists who work there. I wanted to work with Zach Crisp after seeing his portfolio online and was not disappointed. Zach is the real deal and is amazingly talented. This is the dude you're going to see in the magazines in a few years. He's incredible. I'm super proud and happy to have an original piece that I'm beyond proud of, for the first time. Thank you!! read more

Where to start... We talked to an artist back in Jan about getting a tattoo (all the details, size, number of people getting it, etc.) got a price and $20 deposit/ per person. When we went to book, the price per piece changed and the deposit went up to $50/per person (also said it would be 3+ hrs for a small 2" x 2" tattoo, I've had a few tattoos and for this size is absolutely ridiculous). When we went back to cancel, we were denied the return of our deposit (yes, it was printed on card, but artist never stated that deposit was not refundable.) Did not like that they changed the deposit amount & price of the tattoo changed and had no reasoning behind the change. Very rude to us and our family. No customer service and no we will not recommend this to anyone else in the area. read more

I received a genital piercing here by a piercer by the name of Wendy who was highly recommended to me by a close friend. I had a good experience before, during, and after the piercing the day of (although the pain was almost unbearable to the point of me almost blacking out). She helped calm me down and gave me water. But a few days later the top ball of my piercing came undone so I went back for her help and expertise. At first she told me the jewelry bar was not in. Then she found the bar hiding. She said she would have to stretch the hole to get it back in. My body was visibly tense. She asked if I was ready. I responded not really. Then she says okay I'll not doing this and proceeds to pack up her tools, instead of reassuring me. I told her I wanted it done I just needed time to relax. By that point the top hole was closed to the point she would have to re-pierce it. I opted out of that. I will not be getting re-pierced here. read more

I got my second tattoo here. Jason was very polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and I felt very confident about my tattoo with him. I would definitely recommend Jason, and golden spiral to anyone. read more

I got my nipples pierced here several months ago by Wendi. The right nipple piercing turned out fine, but the jewelry was too short (3/8) and didn't allow room for swelling, which became painful. The left, she didn't even pierce the nipple, she pierced the areola, and it rejected in about two weeks. She also came off as rude throughout the session. Based on her attitude and the fact she made two mistakes in one session, I didn't want her opinion on anything, and went somewhere else for a second opinion. The other piercer said the jewelry was definitely too short, and the left piercing was rejecting and I needed to remove it IMMEDIATELY. I will definitely be going someplace else to get it repierced. I've had other friends say the same things, that she has a bad attitude and their piercings from her have rejected. read more

I really would not go anywhere else for a piercing in Greensboro. Wendy was great. Super friendly and patient and willing to make recommendations! I had two piercings done that day (two helix piercings) and Wendy took time to get the placement how I wanted it. I would also note that she clearly sanitized and cleaned the workplace thoroughly. Really awesome experience. Keep up the good work Golden Spiral! read more

Will did my very first tattoo and he was great and I absolutely love it. He explained everything before, during and after and was a pleasure to deal with. The studio was so clean and the workers that I dealt with were great. Thanks again and I will be referring!!! read more

So I just wanted to post online about the piercer here Wendi. I'm not the type to write reviews so when I do, know that I was truly bothered. Wendi does not have a personality for working with the public. She comes off as very rude to me since she is short and if you ask her for her professional opinion about how she thinks a certain piercing would look on you, she's not gonna give it. I've been places that if you need to make a decision the artist will recommend things. For example, if you want to get your ears pierced and you are stuck between two options most artist I've come across will lean you in one direction based on the anatomy of your ear, do not expect that with Wendi. Of course it's up to you to chose your piercing in the end but it feels nice to have someone even pretend like they care. I don't recommend going here for piercings unless you enjoy spending your hard earned money and time with someone who makes you feel like helping her to be able to provide for her self & family is an annoyance. I have gotten multiple tattoos here and that's aspect is great, 5:5 stars! For me personally, I will not be supporting this business anymore or allowing anyone I associate with to support because if your business isn't appreciated why spend money there? I work SUPER hard as a nurse during this covid year & I won't spend a dime here anymore. Right now in this weird time, it is important to be humble & kind especially if you want your business to thrive. Wendi please be kind to your consumers that come to you, life is hard enough so why make a walk in experience so unpleasant. Be blessed. read more

I absolutely love this place- I get all my piercings done here (I have 4 total and I'm not done yet!) and if I am ever brave enough to get a tattoo, I would 100% want it be here. Ron Bishop, who typically works at the front, is exceptionally professional and I have only had positive interactions with him. The new piercing artist, Wendy, is also fabulous and has so much experience with piercings that you're definitely getting exceptional quality work for fair prices. This is the place to come for piercings and tats!! read more

I had a consultation with Justin last week and sent him an email with a few images I wanted him to use as inspiration. When I arrived for my appointment he had come up with a design that was exactly what I had asked for even though I hadn't really realized that was what I had asked for. Tattoo went great and I'm very happy with the design. I'll be going to Justin first for my next tattoo. read more

This place is the best in Greensboro. My husband has been here for several times and this is where I got my first tattoo. The artists here have enormous talent, you can see just by looking at their online portfolios. The service here is great and the prices are good for the quality you get. As a first timer, I met with Matt Heft and he was great with making sure I was comfortable the entire time. If you are a first timer or a tattoo veteran, this is a great place to check out. read more
