It was amazing! Birdie (piercer) was very comforting and quick with getting my naval piercing done.

Olivia did an absolutely stellar job with my tattoo. I'd been looking around off and in for the past 2 years to find an artist to do this paw print memorial tattoo in a water-color style and I'm so incredibly happy with having waited and looked around and with Olivia having taken it on. From start to finish she was amazing and my picture attached is from the same night she did it (crappy home lighting sorry!) Its just. I have absolutely no words. I appreciated that she wanted my input in the colors for this, but in truth she did all of it. Her execution of this piece...I'm still stunned and at a loss for words. Thank you Olivia!! Also the shop is great! Everyone was friendly and welcoming 🙂 and very clean!

Super amazing piercer. He was very quick and thorough. He also explained everything very well and was very welcoming!

Very friendly, clean, professional environment. Josh was polite, friendly and an experienced piercing artist. He explained everything clearly and made the experience quick and pain free . Will definitely recommend to friends !

Definitely would go back to Golden Child. Everything about the store was great. All the artist are very friendly and professional!. Store very clean.

Birdie, their piercer, was so nice, informative, and communicative when I scheduled my ten year olds first ear piercing. She did a great job talking her through the hard part, and I would absolutely bring my other daughters to her to get their ears pierced. Thank you for taking good care of us!

They will try to make you as comfortable as possible during a tattoo. They understand different reactions to the initial pain and such and will help ya through it.

got my first tattoo with Nick, was such a great experience. excited to come back soon

Every visit has been excellent. Recently came in for a piercing. I was greeted immediately, picked out my jewelry, and within 10 minutes I was out the door. Really happy with the outcome and how quickly it was handled, but still with precision and care.. Josh was my piercer, excellent service all around def suggest him, very informative and helpful.

The service here was amazing and I’m glad I got my nose pierced here, I so recommend!

highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for high-quality work and a positive experience. I'll definitely be coming back for my next tattoo! Thanks Jason 🙌🏽

Josh pierced my son’s lobes. He was friendly, informative and good at what he did. He gave us thorough after care info and offered help if needed.

great communication, loved my design, and was in n out in like 40 mins i was stoked:)

They are amazing! My daughter had Josh do her piercings, and he was super kind. If I ever got another piercing I would definitely go there to get it.

We went in to get my daughter's ears pierced... The shop was easy to find, it was clean and the young man who helped us today, Josh, was extremely kind. He explained the process to my daughter and made her feel comfortable... It was a great experience and she has already asked when she can go back for a 2nd set! Thank you Josh! 😊

Birdie was great! Painless piercing and she was very friendly. 10/10 experience

Josh has always treated my wife and I with kindness and respect. He feels more like a friend to us rather than the guy who does our piercings. His interactions with his clients is outstanding. He takes his time to explain the piercing procedure and makes you feel at ease about the whole process. He is an awesome guy. And I would highly recommend him for all of your piercing needs.

Mathias did an awesome job on my walk-in knee piece!! He was fun to talk to and very talented. I would absolutely recommend GCTP and will be returning in the future.

I had been wanting to get my nose pierced for the second time because the first time was not very pleasant. It was extremely painful, it never healed, and I wasn’t told how to take care of it. On 06/19/26, my family and I happened to be visiting Escondido for the weekend for a softball tournament. In the across the parking lots from where we were staying I noticed a tattoo and piercing shop. My family and I went in there just to look. I got brave and decided to get my nose pierced because I was told that that the employee that would be helping me with my piercing had 10years of experience. Well, he certainly knows what he’s doing because I did not feel any discomfort. He was very patient, friendly, and professional. It’s been 4days since my piercing and I honestly do not feel any discomfort. I was in and out within 20mins. I give this place and Josh 10 stars.

I've gotten 2 piercings from Birdie and both experiences were fantastic. Looking forward to potentially getting a tattoo from someone here in the near future, next!

Birdie was fantastic with my 2 daughters. They got their nose piercings with her and she was able to keep them calm and did a fantastic job.

Josh was awesome and did a great with my 8 & 4 year olds first lobe piercings and my tragus. All are healing great and we're super happy with our experience.

Birdie has done both of my tragus piercings. She’s genuine and the process is quick. Won’t go to anyone else again!

My 7 year old daughter had her ears pierced with Birdie almost a week ago. Birdie was amazing! Super patient with our daughter, she helped her calm her nerves with some excercises and even went out of her way to play Lilo & Stitch music while she pierced her ears! My wife also got a helix piercing and was very nervous but said the piercing was painless and everything has been healing nicely with no issues. Highly recommend this shop for piercings!

I did my nose piercing there and it was a great experience. I really recommend that 👌
