Melissa is an absolute delight! She made a beautiful fine line floral piece for me that is everything I wanted it to be and more. She was so kind and easy to talk to and spent so much time on the ensuring the details on my tattoo were perfect so it not only looked beautiful but it healed in a way that I would love as well. I cannot recommend her enough! I will absolutely be back for another tattoo from her.

Melissa was great her details of fine lines was excellent super happy with my first experience getting a tattoo.

Katelyn was great. As a tattoo newbie I didn't know what to expect. For my little tattoo I was scared of the potential pain. Katelyn was very patient and she tattooed a simple tribute for my mom that I love. And I plan to go back to the shop.

Katherine was awesome. She created a custom design to honor my parents. I gave her a description of what I wanted and she created something beautiful and timeless.
I am so proud. Thank you so much I can't wait to show it off.

I’ve had 2 tattoos from Kurt so far and plan on going back for more. His almost 30 years of experience was reassuring throughout the entire process. Zion up front is super friendly and will help hook you up with the right artist. The culture of the shop is warm and welcoming to everyone, and just from my two sessions I’ve seen some awesome pieces leave the place from the other artists as well.

Katherine Parada is the absolute best! I’ve had 4 sessions with her in as many months, and have brought several family and friends back with me. 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!

Melissa did a wonderful job for my son and me! So professional and beautiful fine line work!

I got my nose pierced here and birdie did an amazing job. She was super nice, made me feel relaxed, and the piercing was quick and almost painless. Everything was very clean and professional. I love how my piercing turned out!

Such a fun place, super welcoming and nice! Birdie pierced my septum and she was so so so sweet, thorough, and fast! An amazing job and so glad I chose this place to go!! 100% recommend

Katelyn is super talented. I went in wanting a delicate bow with my daughters’ names, and she absolutely nailed it — the line work is clean, feminine, and perfectly placed.

And the vibe? 10/10. Everyone in the studio was so kind and welcoming. From the second I walked in, I felt comfortable and taken care of.

Great artist. Great energy. Great place. Already planning my next one. 💁🏼‍♀️✨

Kurt did a great job, spoke over text with what I wanted and he free handed a design and it came out great.

Fantastic crew here! My brother and I walked and in and had an awesome experience the entire time. Matthias did an amazing job, he’s the literal best!

this was my 4th time in the past year getting tattooed by Melissa & I would have it no other way! She has tattooed both of my hands at this point & just finished my third largest piece I’ve gotten in 11 years & im obsessed. She is so easy to trust & I love her style & everything about the experience- it is so important to go to people you would recommend to others & I standby this & can’t wait for my next tattoo with her at golden child! :)

Got my septum done here and it was a 10/10 experience! Very friendly and welcoming would recommend.

Josh did a phenomenal job piercing my 6 month olds ear. Patient, professional, hygienic, and really allowed us a safe and easy space to discuss the exact markings for her piercings. 5 months later and the piercings healed up very well.

We traveled from Arizona to Golden Child Tattoo and Piercing to have our daughter's ears pierced by Birdie and are so happy we did. Birdie is a professional who is an expert at what she does, and it is evident in her mannerism and show she manages the piercing experience. In addition, she's kind and a great communicator who explains what is going to happen throughout the process. Would 1,000% recommend her to anyone looking for piercings!

Okay guys this place is the best place everyone is so friendly and welcoming ♥️ I’ve been to other places and haven’t felt as comfortable as i did here 11/10🤩😏 I will be coming back fs ! I came with birdie to get my 23 month olds ears repierced and she was so patient with my daughter she was so sweet , My daughter did not cry much she felt relaxed as well You guys have to come here if your getting your kids ears pierced or just for anything they are the best !! The music was such a vibe oh and such a clean shop 😍 Thanks Birdie for everything and for your patience with my daughter 💋♥️ Thanks for having me GCT!!

Very clean and friendly. Josh was professional and attentive. He made my daughter and myself feel comfortable and relaxed. Great vibes.

Love all my piercings (and tattoos thank u kat) people are nice and Josh explains everything rlly well

I had an amazing time here! This was my first tattoo. Kurt did an amazing job! It is exactly what I wanted! Had a great time!

My daughter got her eyebrow pierced by Josh! He’s amazing! We get all piercing done there! Birdie is great too

This business was very professional; staff communicated consistently and respectfully, the establishment was clean and orderly, everyone was really friendly and welcoming. The design process was very flexible and my artist helped me get to an affordable design. She offered me plenty of breaks during my session and send me photos afterwards!! I will definitely be coming back :)

I took my 9 year old daughter to get her ears pierced with Birdie. It was a great experience! My daughter has noise sensitivity and Birdie worked with me to come in at a time that the shop would be quieter. She also had the music lowered without being asked. She was kind and patient with my daughter who was very nervous. 10/10!

Got 2 small tattoos by Kurt and he was amazing! Super quick, super efficient, and even added his own expert opinion in to make me feel more comfortable. He was wonderful and kept the price super affordable. Thank you guys! I’m definitely coming back.

Had such a great experience with Kurt/tatzila! He was so nice an accommodating, his line work was so impressive!! Will definitely be coming back, this was a great 18th birthday present!!
