Went for the first time today. Well worth the drive from out of town. Piercing by Zachary, who was great. Excellent experience throughout. Absolutely plan to make the drive again for piercing/tattoos. Will be my rec for family and friends.

I have never felt more unappreciated as a customer. I spent 1300$ on my first session on a back tattoo, the first session came out well, but when I tried to set up the second session, my artist would never answer the call. When I called the shop every time they would answer, saying the artist would call me back in 20 min… they never did. I had to find a completely different shop to finish their work… I also left my 200$ deposit with them for the second session…

Rianne is a gem, I’ve had four tattoos done by them. This was a drawing my kiddo made, and it’s done so expertly and healing so beautifully. Always a great experience visiting the shop. ?

I went in to have three helix piercings, and they were not done evenly. The bottom ring hangs down correctly, but the middle and top ones were further away from the edge, so that the top one doesn't even hang, it just deforms the edge of my ear. I showed a picture of how I wanted it when I went in, and this is not how it looked.It was originally going to be step one of having five piercings, but needing to redo two of the ones already done to get an even row ruined my interest in finishing, so now I've just got three that don't look right.

I've had dozens of tattoo sessions at various studios over the years, and Golden Goat stands out as a clean, professional, and collaborative. They pay attention to every little detail, from the initial consultation to preparing you for aftercare. I have gotten three tattoos there so far, with plans for more. Rianne Phillips is an incredible artist, who designed the perfect piece for me. I probably pass a dozen other studios on my way across Austin to get up to Golden Goat, and it's absolutely worth the drive. I strongly recommend them to anyone who wants a great process with fantastic results!

I have known these guys for years and had several piercings by Sean. He is the absolute master of piercing there is no one more experienced or more knowledgeable. Sean has been doing this since before the APP even formed and he can do anything from the small ear piercing to the big gauges. They have great high quality jewelry selection and a really cool atmosphere. I will never go anywhere else.Services: Ear piercing

It goes without saying that the quality of the work is incredible. But you can find any number of tattoo parlors that have that going for them. But to provide the level of care we received here is out of this world.We came to get a small, very personal tattoo above my wife's C-section scar. When we got there, it brought up a ton of emotions and Rianne helped my wife through those as well as (or better) than any licensed therapist could have. She was so kind and thoughtful, and so incredibly patient, it made the whole experience a true blessing, and everything we wanted it to be. I am so grateful that we came here because we will forever carry this positive experience with us -- both literally and figuratively.

My son got his first tattoo here from Oceana and she did an incredible job! I wasn't thrilled with the cost but my son paid for it, and he's happy so I'm happy!

This happened in January; my friends came to visit and we decided to get tattoos together. We looked for a couple places and this seemed like a good option, esp since the reviews were promising. We decided to call ahead for an appointment, it took us several times but finally they picked up. They said we don't need an appointment, we could just do walk-ins. When we got there the place was completely empty, and there was no-one at the front desk. We decided to wait a bit and started perusing the example art on the walls.It was extremely disturbing. Confederate flags were everywhere, all the art of women was hypersexual, there were overexaggerated caricatures of south asian men in turbans, and all the nonwhite women were either oversexualized, or pregnant, or both. After a couple minutes we all decided to leave, being thoroughly grossed out. We never even interacted with a staff member in person, but after seeing all that art on the walls, I'm thankful for that.

Sean was absolutely AMAZING! I took my 6 year old in to get her ears pierced. He was beyond patient with her. She was rather scared/nervous and he was absolutely wonderful. Bonus, the jewelry used has a flat back. No getting stabbed in the neck while sleeping.

We brought our daughter in for basic ear piercing and had a great experience. Sean took great care of us! We were impressed with his attention to detail & the cleanliness of the shop. Would not hesitate to recommend Sean or Golden Goat!

Tears! It looked like a cool spot - we came for a walk in and they told us 15 mins. An hour passes and we ask for an update & they said soon. 30 more minutes pass with no update so we left. If y’all could have just given us an update we’d be cool to wait but we felt forgotten about.

Oshi was absolutely amazing. Very happy with my piece. Came in for a walk-in tattoo. It was a simple design and she nailed it. Fast, professional, personable will definitely come back.

Sean pierced my daughter's ears and there aren't enough good words for his amazing work. It was incredible. He was calm and gentle, he patiently answered all our questions, and gave expert follow-up care information. This is absolutely the best place to get a kid piercing done. The shop is spotless and professional, Sean was just beyond amazing, and my daughter is thrilled with the results.
