    Tattoo by Cassie
    Brenda R.

    After I had a last minute cancellation by an artist in another shop, about 30 minutes before my appointment, I decided to pop in here and see if I could do a walk-in. Best decision ever. Super nice shop, very open, and you can tell all the artists care a great deal about their work. Great vibes from the other artists too! I ended up getting tattooed by Cassie, who not only is an amazing tattoo artist, but a genuinely great person. She was as enthusiastic about my choice in tattoo as I was, and I fully plan on getting more done by her in the future. Pricing more than fair, and you can see in the pic that her work is great.

    Realized I never added my review. Donny worked on me for the second time (first time at this shop since he opened). The shop is great and completely clean. His work is amazing, communication with him is easy and quick, and he's a nice guy, easy to chat with while getting tattooed. I've since moved to the Palm Springs area however, I will never let another artist tattoo me again. He is worth the 2.5 hour drive the next time I want work done.

    I highly recommend this shop!!! YOU will not be disappointed. This shop is super clean, professional, and spacious. Gabe is so patient, professional, understanding and flat out the best. He completed a cover up for me. I have been looking for someone for over a year. From the moment we met I knew he was an artist and had vision and he put so much detail, meaning and purpose into my cover up. I am finally over joyed with my piece and it is an original. Mahalo nui loa Gabe, much aloha and respect. I will be back to get a leg piece. Finally a shop where time and culture is respected. You are not treated like a number or another tattoo, they leave an imprint of there art work and pride in their work!!!!

    My hubby and I got some ink from Donny there. I'm IN LOVE with my tat. Super chill spot, super friendly staff, we are definitely going back for more!

    Katherine Parada is the absolute best! I've had 4 sessions with her in as many months, and have…read morebrought 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!

    I was not satisfied with my visit to Golden Child today because I believe the experience should…read morehave been handled better. This will be a detailed review of what I observed and experienced. Short version: Better time management is needed with appointments and clients who have placed deposits. There is no reason for clients to be scheduled for specific appointment times if they are then left waiting 30+ minutes past that time to be seen. Also blood around the piercing site should be properly cleaned before allowing the client to leave. Longer version: I made an appointment for my baby's earlobe piercing at 1:30 PM. We arrived at 1:20 PM to check in and were greeted and asked to complete the waiver online. While we were waiting, there were multiple clients in the foyer, it seemed like a busy part of the day but I was relived to have made an appointment for our visit . During this time, another client was visibly upset and speaking with Birdie. That interaction escalated to the point where they moved the conversation outside. Our appointment was with Birdie, we waited patiently while this was handled. However, this interaction extended into our appointment time. Birdie finished the conversation around or shortly after 1:30 PM, at which point she appeared visibly flustered and behind schedule. Another client who had been waiting before us was taken back, and we continued to wait. We were not called back until close to 2:00 PM, approximately 30 minutes past our scheduled appointment time. At that point, our baby was understandably fussy from the extended wait. When we were finally brought back, Birdie explained the process and how she wanted us to hold the baby. However, the entire interaction felt rushed. I understand that infant piercings require efficiency, but that does not justify a rushed appointment process. No piercing should be rushed, regardless of the client's age. Additionally, directly after the piercing, we noticed visible blood left on and around my daughter's earlobe. I will include photos for reference. I thought based on standard infection control practices and the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, any visible blood should be properly cleaned and the area disinfected before the client leaves. I personally have a good amount of body piercings that were done at reputable piercing shops and have never left without the piercing sight being cleaned and inspected. Final concern: My main concerns are the lack of time management with scheduled appointments, the rushed nature of the procedure, and the inadequate cleaning after the piercing. I believe these are important areas that should be addressed for client safety and overall service quality.

    Ollie the Impaler at Locally Famous is amazing. He walked me through my ear piercing options with…read morepatience and care. His training and experience made me feel comfortable. After care is so important to any piercing and based on my line of work, I had to go for a more traditional piercing than what I was considering. I went with two additional lobe piercings versus a cartilage option (there are soooo many different options for ear piercings and he went through all of it with me!!)! Overall, I felt like this was the best decision for me, based off the consultation with Ollie and I'm really happy with the results. This place passes all the vibe checks and I'd recommend Ollie without hesitation. 5 stars all around!

    Highly recommend Ollie the Impaler if you're wanting a piercing. He's got a great personality and…read morereally knows what he's doing. He was very friendly and answered all my questions, even though I wasn't the one who got pierced. My friend was nervous and he was very patient with her, and was able to set her at ease. He very thoroughly explained the process to her and did the piercing without causing her any pain. He's also fair priced. He has a very clean space that is nicely decorated all around. Definitely a cool dude, while being very professional. My only complaint would be how hot the place was. It was even humid in there.
