Very friendly people and professional. Store is quite clean and welcoming with comfortable couches and coffee in the waiting area. My husband and I brought our 5 year old daughter here to get her ears pierced. A place like Piercing Pagoda or Claires at the mall would have been cheaper, but wed rather have a piercing professional handle our daughters first piercings rather than a dubiously trained store associate. They were very sweet to my daughter, who was only a little nervous. They gave her a stuffed fox to play with while her piercing needle was sterilized in the autoclave. She cried after the first earring and didnt want the second one to be done, but the lady at the store talked to her and between my niece and I, we convinced her to finish. I was very appreciative of their patience and obvious skill at handling a frightened child who was in tears. They allowed us to hug her while the second ear was done. There were high fives and words of praise when she was finished. Our only issue was the quality of the jewelry we picked out. The earrings they use for piercing arent the ones that I think most people think of for ear piercing. They are flat in the back and the head of the earring screws down. The day after we had her ears pierced, one of the heads fell off. My husband cleaned it and put it back on. Later that day, the other one fell off and was lost. We were lucky to have an old pair of piercing studs (the kind that are used with the piercing guns) that are more secure in the back. We sterilized them and replaced the ones that Golden Goat used with those without a tear shed (mama was more nervous than daughter!). Im still giving 5 stars for customer service because they cant be held responsible for the quality of the jewelry they purchase for piercing. Maybe we just got a bad pair, maybe that kind isnt conducive to an active 5 year old. Their work is top notch and theyre very nice and knowledgable. They even email aftercare instructions to you, which is awesome. I would recommend their services to anyone looking for piercing work.

My experience was a negative 20 the only reason there is one star is because it would not let me post without clicking one. I went to Shaun for a simple Marilyn piercing. The initial piercing was fine and when the swelling went down I had a shorter bar put in. Shaun did not attach the stone to the post properly and it fell out 2 days after he changed the bar. It fell out at 3 pm, I was at Golden Goat by noon the next day to have it put back in. Shaun could not find the hole and after several attempts told me, just a minute and I will get it. I closed my eyes because his hands were on my face, he then re pierced my lip with the bottom being in a completely different spot.He did not tell or ask me if I wanted a re-piercing, I would have said no as there was no way the hole could have closed after 15 hours. This is not the worst part, he put the short bar back in, this bar was only about half as long as it should have been. I asked him about the bar before I left and he said if it bothered me I could come back the next day and get a longer one. I iced my mouth all night hoping to keep the swelling down.When I woke up the next day my mouth was so swollen that the bar had already disappeared inside my lip. I had someone else look at it that day and they said they could not even attempt to change the bar until at least some of the swelling was gone. By the time the swelling went down enough to change the bar part of the hole had closed around the bar inside of my lip, it will have to be surgically removed by a doctor. I would not recommend Shaun for piercing to my family, my friends...not even my enemies. Update to this: I had to have the piercing surgically removed. I went to a plastic surgeon, he had to cut the top of my mouth and work the jewelry out of it. I have a lawyer and will be attempting to have all money I paid Golden Goat refunded and to have my surgical fees paid. I see another person had the same thing happen to them, do not get any piercing at this place!!

Im so glad I never have to drive to Austin to get work done ever again. A while back, I wasnt sure if I wanted to get my bridge pierced so I brought some stick-on jewels and asked the piercer that day, Ryan, if he would place them where the bridge would go, because I didnt think I was doing it quite right myself. He was kind about this. That settled it for me, and I finally got it done by Sean a week and a half ago. He made sure to show me that my bar had passed the sanitation test. There were people waiting when I got there, but I did not have to wait long. The procedure was quick and almost painless. He answered all my questions patiently (even when I called later in the day to ask what I had forgotten.) I was able to get it pierced with amethyst ends instead of metal balls, like I had hoped. And today, I rushed over, worried that the swelling was getting out of hand. Ryan was there and quite happy to take a look and swap me out for a longer bar (just to be sure.) Everyone Ive spoken with has been kind and professional. I think the services and jewelry (which is gorgeous! and theyre happy to place a custom order for you) are fairly priced. I love this shop, and I love that theyre here in Round Rock.

Hello, I was NOT a client here, I recently 12/7/15 called to get information about infant piercing becouse per other mothers and my babys physician staff its best to take my daughter to a tatto and piercing shop since the health department has regulation for them and its a cleaner, safer environment to get her ears done by a professional vs icing or Clairs at the mall. The employee I spoke with informed me that they do not do infant piecing because they are nit of age ( at this point he should have stopped) he then says in his " opinion" it isnt right to do that to an infant because they didnt ask for it, which I understand his option but it was just that an opinion and as a mother I can do whatever is like with my childs ears! I dont think it was at all perfessional of him to voice his opinion. therefore I will be seeking somewhere else who are professionals, not to mention my babys own physician said it was ok to pierce her ears after about 3-4 months when she has her tetanus shot.

I went in looking for a new nose ring (jewelry only, existing piercing) and was immediately greeted and shown their options. They have a fantastic selection and the owners are very knowledgeable. They discussed the various brands and metals available. I also brought up that I was interested in another ear piercing and they showed me the custom options so that I could have a piece that looked like multiple piercing, but with only one hole. While I was waiting for my new jewelry to be sterilized, another couple people came in looking for quotes for a found art tattoo. The artist discussed the importance of original artwork, not only so that she isnt replicating someone elses work, but that the tattoo is original and specific to the person. I was totally impressed with everything about this shop and am so glad I stopped in.
