I had a really great experience, was nervous as it was a first piercing. This place does charge…read moremore than many others, mostly due to the premium jewelry. Piercing for lobes was $80, I've seen many other places more in the $30-$50 range. That said, I felt super comfortable. The inside was very clean and I was helped quickly with friendly staff. Bradlee did my ears and was excellent at placement and very little pain at all. Healing was quick and noneventful. The jewelry selection is awesome and extensive, but it is all BVLA which is best in class and priced as such. No single stud was rly less than $180, so be prepared to spend at least around $200 for any one earring. Everything felt very sterile and clean, if you're willing to pay a little premium I do think you get that experience.

We had Lily as our person for our teen. She was so friendly, professional and easy to communicate…read morewith. We love that she let our group into the private room and she gave our other child a lollipop - a cute touch and kept her busy. This was the highlight of our experience, working with her. We were a walk in so that experience was a little overwhelming at first; having 2-3 people greet us, sign waivers and verbally explain the pricing to us. There was one main person that was just running through everything so quickly that I just couldn't register everything they were saying. I think it would be nice to have a visual price list to look at for our own pace while we make a decision. It felt pressured and rushed. But once we were actually taken care of by Lily and one other person, it didn't feel as overwhelming. Overall aside from the first part of the experience, it was fantastic. Our teen felt comfortable with Lily and it went so smoothly!

Have had 6 piercings done at Tracy's and jewelry changed multiple times, which is why I was…read moredisappointed when I asked for threaded ball jewelry and was unaware that they used a CBR instead. The ball from this new ring fell out the next day in the shower. I came back in and was told that they do not sell the type of jewelry I originally was looking for. They offered to sell a new captive bead (at original full price) but I don't trust this to not immediately fall out again. Edit: Tracy and team seem to truly want to make the situation better and I really appreciate this. The type of jewelry I originally sought is not available but they helped point to an alternative. I wish this had been the case when I initially returned, before leaving a review-- nonetheless I am impressed by their managements commitment to making sure that their patrons come out in the end with the piercings and jewelry that they wanted

Hidden charges. Make sure you double check the charges before you give your payment. I was told…read more"you're covered for a year, so if anything happens, just bring them in" but nowhere in that statement did she mention that there was a cost associated with it. $14 for the set I bought with the piercing and $3 I'm assuming for the second pair that was 40% off. My fault that I wasn't paying attention, but when I was talking to my husband and breaking down the cost, I realized it didn't make sense that the total was $125 when it should have been around $102. I tried calling them back for over an hour and all I got was a busy tone (they weren't busy) and the chat service online wasn't helpful. Refunds need to be processed at a store, they won't do it over the phone. I'm happy with the piercing. But as far as service goes, it was severely lacking - they weren't very friendly and the fact that the phone seems to not be a "working" number was a bummer.

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!
