The vibes of the shop weren't the most welcoming but it wasn't bad either. My friends and I came in…read moreto get some piercings. I don't remember the name of the piercer but he seemed cool. Go to get my eyebrow done and the dots he put on my face looked okay. He grabbed the needle then he just grabbed my skin, no clamp. Non of my piercings have been done without a clamp. The moment he pinched my skin I knew the piercing wasn't going to turn out alright. It took him 3 shoves to get the needle through my skin. The first shove was definitely at the wrong angle and I felt it. After it finally went through he put the jewelry in which was fine. Went to look in the mirror and the jewelry is sitting so low on my brow, like in the middle of my eyelid low. To say the least I'm disappointed. Other friends have good experiences here but I wanted to share mine

I met Ryan and let him know what I was looking for. He had an opening the next day and drew up a very nice piece. Wow! It came out so much better than I had originally imagined it! The lines, shading and color were done so beautifully! Not only was the artwork awesome, but Ryan was so cool throughout the whole process. I appreciate that he gave his professional input. I can tell he takes great pride in what he does! Thanks Ryan, can't wait til next time!

All four of my previous tattoos were done here, so I knew where I was going for my new one. But I…read moredidn't have a particular artist in mind. Well, let me tell you, that has now changed forever. When I want more ink, I am definitely going to schedule with Ryan. The dude gave me exactly what I wanted with no pain at all. I mean it. A few times during, my mind just wandered away and then I remembered, "oh, yeah, I'm getting new ink." Oh, and I got the ink on Sunday and I haven't felt any pain at all. I mean none. It's like I've had this tattoo forever. Granted, it is black & white and mostly just outlined, but still. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this new ink. Ryan, my man, I will be back for more soon!

I caught a train, booked a place for the weekend and he can't make the 3 week out scheduled appointment because his buddy has a show??! Never again. To everyone who wants to get something done here, just know, they have better shit to do than keep your appointment. Epitome of unprofessional. I would give zero stars if I could

After care tips were also provided along with follow up if need be. Can't wait to get my next tattoo done with Jordae.

Vivid tattoos were offering Friday the 13th specials on flash or custom and wanted to check them out. I arrived early as I wasn't sure if there'd be a long line. I have been to places b4 where the lines were ridiculous. Luckily, I arrived right when they opened and there was 1 only couple ahead of me. Of course, by the time I was in the chair more and more people had started coming in.I showed the artist Yesi, my design and she drew it out and made sure it was to my liking. As she was prepping to start of course fear crept in as it's been awhile since my last tattoo and I asked if my shoulder area was going to hurt much. She was kind and told me how she's pretty gentle handed, but if at anytime I needed her to stop, just let her know. That eased my nerves and once she became, I was like... wait?! I barely felt anything.... even when she was doing some shading the pressure was fine. When she told me she was finished I was shocked, by how truly gentle handed she was. I loved the finished work, and would definitely comeback if I get the itch for another tattoo.

Golden Days is a solid choice for your tattoo needs. I have recommended this place to co-workers,…read morefriends and family. Everyone who works at this shop is kind, approachable, and willing to listen to your ideas. If you live nearby, walking distance or are a little bit of a drive away, I'd suggest checking out all the artist's instagram pages and seeing if anyone's tattoos speak to you. This shop can do your simple line tattoos as well that you find from Pinterest, but do check out their work if you're are considering something bigger than a few words. This is a solid shop here in SD. This shop is around some good food options if you get hungry. I have been tattooed here by Francis and he is a gentle giant with a light tattooing hand. Francis can give you a clean, bold, and legible tattoo that will stand the test of time. He has tattooed me and I got a rose that is drawn-to-fit. See picture. Anyone who offers to draw a piece on without a stencil is worth the time. Francis has tattooed myself little brother as well and I don't send my family to just anyone off the street either.
