    Artist Regie Calvan tattooed perfectly, a design that was a sentimental tribute tattoo; fine line work of my mother's heart beats, of the last moments of her life. This day was the third anniversary of her passing. He knew how emotional and special this was to me, he just got it! The staff (Jen) handled the original EKG paper that my mom's nurse gave to me, with such care when making copies of it. Regie was so respectful, caring, warm and welcoming with his Hawaiian spirit and aloha. Friendly and also has a good sense of humor. He was precise with the placement, making sure it was just right, so I was fully satisfied. Regie contributed to not only making this experience special, but making my entire day memorable. I choose to honor my mother in a unique way, each year on the anniversary day of her passing and am happy it was with Regie and Golden Rule Tattoo. Mahalo Regie and thank you Golden Rule Tattoo!

    Faith business card

    I came in for a jewelry removal, long stroy short I was in a bad way with my nose piercing (I did not originally get peirced at Golden Rule) anyway my nose was swollen and the jewelry was stuck and it was painful so I was really nervous as to what was going to happen to get it out. Faith was beyond amazing, so kind and gentle she explained everything fully and completely both when it came to cost and the process and options to remove the jewelry. Faith made me feel comfortable, and relaxed in a not so relaxing situation she was professional and knowledgeable. She definitely made every attempt to make the process as pain-free as possible. And she made sure I left with jewelry appropriately fitted to my nose size, and plenty of saline. I highly recommend Faith for your piercing adventures.

    Supposed to be an "industrial"

    Honestly disappointed after coming here for years on end. I got my industrial pierced a few months back & the bar was SO gruesome during healing, I had to take it out & replace it with two smaller bars. Come to find out, my piercings will not heal because 1. they were pierced incorrectly 2. they were not measured pre-piercing 3. they are crooked. I had a fantastic experience with my nipples, and all 4 holes on my nose. However, after being a re-occurring customer for plenty of years & being denied a refund, I am disappointed. I understand everyone needs to get paid, but this piercing was done so wrong it isn't even funny.. I have gotten other piercings since this one, NOT at Golden Rule & it's safe to say, every professional opinion I have received agrees that this was a horrible mistake made to my ear. A mistake that could've been avoided at that. Will not go back to Aaron after this one... I should note, they offered to take my bars out & let them heal & allow a free piercing from it, but considering the pain of an industrial and the fact I now have scar tissue there, it should've been done right the first time. This is not a piercing you can just take out and "redo". Lol.

    I cannot say enough good things about this shop . The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and their piercers are amazingly gentle

    Conch piercing and upper lobe piercing
    Gwen S.

    I chose to get my conch pierced as well as my upper lobes on both ears, Jen was AMAZING!! So sweet, kind, and of helpful guidance. From our convo on the phone to in person interaction Jen was lovely in making my experience so calm. I'm super happy with the look and am excited to return for another ear piercing in the future.

    When the piercing was first done

    Aaron pierced my industrial on Tuesday and by Friday my ear was so swollen it looked like I had cauliflower ear i was in so much pain it felt like someone had cut my ear off I went in Saturday to get it looked at and Jen was there, SHE IS AMAZING BTW, Jen saw the piercing and immediately knew that it needed to come out. My ear did not have enough flesh for an industrial and instead of telling me no and that it couldn't be done, Aaron still pierced it and warped my ear to make the piercing fit ... if you go to golden rule make sure you see Jen

    The racist and ignorant merchandise.
    Kimberly T.

    I had been a loyal customer of Golden Rule for almost 15 years. They've done at least a dozen piercings and two tattoos for me in that time. However I will never give them any more business. The business decided to make a public statement against the use of masks to prevent the spread of covid19. Which is now a state mandated law. This has me concerned for any other state and cdc mandated health guidelines and protocols that they may deem ridiculous. How many guidelines aren't being followed? Also, one of the masks they made which had things like "F**k Inslee" and "I can't eat" also stated "I can't breathe". Obviously mocking the death of George Floyd. Tasteless, unprofessional, and just plain racist. The atmosphere in that shop has never been welcome anyway.

    I was so excited after seeing the photos of the absolutely gorgeous tattoos done by this shop, so I…read moreemailed (as suggested by their social media and voicemail). I waited a few days and got no reply. I called & left a message... no reply. I emailed again, still to no avail, and I planned to call one last time before finding someone else to do my tattoo. I was so happy that they answered. I scheduled an appointment for a consultation. I was there 15 minutes before my appointment time, stayed until 15 minutes after my appointment time. No one was there. Door was locked. Tried to call and got a voicemail, which was now full. No one ever called me to explain why or reschedule.

    "Hey bri is going to take my appointment. This is the 4th time since working with you that an…read moreappointment was fucked. I get stuff happens but it's really unprofessional and annoying on my end because I bring people to you expecting to get their work done, not played and pushed to the right when your booking is already spread out. I watch you post work all the time that gets started and finished in a sitting and we can't even get our work finished when we have appointments set. I'd really appreciate if we can get our work done." That was my message to the artist and this was his reply good morning emani! to be honest there is a very confusing point and actually insulting matter to your last message. Not sure if you had a reschedule miscommunication with Brianna, but you were scheduled for next month(Sept). soooo I assume thats the appointment you're referring too. Brianna was rescheduled from last week to today, not you just to clarify. also, I understand your inconvenience, with rescheduling several times and how it can be "fucked" when things aren't in your control, all I can really do is apologize for any unexpected scheduling adjustments. I really try and keep in contact with clients as much as possible and keep them updated so they aren't left in the dark with what happened with their appointments in hopes they are truly understanding of the matter at hand. I appreciate your sense of getting "stuff happens" because yea shit does happen and always working 7 days a week tattooing AND running the business end on end of the studio by myself is all I do, so when the schedule gets thrown off or shit happens for whatever reason personal or business? the days I have to reschedule clients is really not an option for me, and try and comp you guys the best I can. I dont expect you to fully understand cuz this clearly isn't your business. but trust me when I say I try and do everything I can to keep my clients happy. sometimes that still isn't good enough for some, and thats ok. Unfortunately though when there is a client and I that don't really see eye, the best thing is to just part ways of our business together, plus clientele sending me childish condescending, passive aggressive messages on social outlets at 6am the day of the appointment, and still expecting me to tattoo them comfortably after that is just fuckin crazy. instead of just approaching the sitatution like an adult is completely uncalled for, and dont need cliental like that, sorry. So I will be canceling any future appointments with young have the front counter contact you in the next day or two in regards of issuing you a deposit refund for your inconvenience. I will propose an option to Brianna as in what she would like to do with her appointments when she arrives. thank you again for your time and business Emani. Best of luck to you Three times I've had appointments with you where we showed up and you were not there at all. Once with Breanna, last week with Brianna, And once for myself. That's what I'm referring to and I was completely understanding with that. Also, the one time you tripled booked for me. You have a personal life and I understand that like I said stuff happens. Which is why my ratings on your service is still amazing and I continue to refer people to you. Where it gets frustrating is when we're trying to figure things out and can't get a reply. If you think it's childish to mention what was messed up to try to get a push on getting work finished that's fine. But in no way was I rude. I can see you thinking it's rude that I said "fucked" but that's my in my vocabulary and was not intended to be rude. She didn't get a reply so no one expected there to be an appointment today. Also the timing of my message was simply because I sent it before work. I had no expectation for you to be up at that time or reply as I know often times it takes days sometimes for you to even see it. But best of luck to you as well. An artist that will leave a customer unfinished because he can't accept that fact I called him out for his many mistakes is trash. I don't know if it's because we are black but he defiantly fucked me over multiple times. He never replied to my friend he left her on read but claims there was an appointment. He may be good on this side of the water but I'd rather take a trip to Seattle for someone to not show up to appointment and not finish work.
