I dont do many reviews but I definitely wanted to get on here and show my appreciation towards Golden Monkey Tattoo. I am getting a bio-mechanic sleeve and I just finished my first session of a few sessions here and the experience was wonderful. Drew was my tattoo artist and I cant say enough good things about him. One of the most appreciative things that happened was multiple people kept coming to ask him to look at their tattoo or talk to him and Drew would not go until we were at a break. The professionalism and dedication to his craft just spoke volumes when he did that and I look forward to finishing up this sleeve and getting more in the future. As far as the shop itself goes, very very clean, friendly employees, I watched an artist set up and clean up and the amount of time and care to make sure everything was completely clean was phenomenal. The only con I would say is that chair he used, Im a big guy and he used a padded folding chair which did not sit well with my butt (im really reaching for a con).

My recent tattoo... the line work was shaky. This shouldnt be an issue from an experienced tattoo artist. My artist name was Matt. Friendly guy and drawings are good. Yet he couldnt do a basic simple tattoo. I loved it at first but after my tattoo peeled and healed, I see the errors. The line work is bad and lines should be very strong. The shop overall seems alright I guess it all depends on the artist. I hate to be that person and I normally dont write reviews but if you have a tattoo that needs bold lines or a quote. Do not go to him. Ask for the most requested tattoo artist and theyll perhaps do better. Not sure if hes new or an apprentice but Im upset. Luckily, its a tiny tat, I cant imagine if it were big ;(

I got my first tattoo here a few years ago, boy has this place changed. I went in the other day for the start of my side/back piece and not only would they not break it up into multiple sessions they insisted I sit down and get every piece of line work done on one day, then break the shading up into 3-5 sessions... They were pushy and didnt seem to understand what I wanted in the first place. Needless to say, I took my business else where and got tattooed that same day. This place seemed more like a drama filled hang out for punks instead of a tattoo parlor. There were about 7 people sitting behind the desk, another 4 on the couches, but yet they only had one tattooer on duty. Something just didnt seem right.

Tony Talbert did my tattoo, and I couldnt be happier with it! The entire experience was flawless. There was a bit of a scheduling issue and he was double booked, but he rearranged everything so he could take care of me, considering that I was coming from out of town. In total, he spent about 5 hours with me, making sure I was perfectly happy with the design, making sure I was comfortable during the tattoo, and going over every detail so that it was perfect. The shop was the cleanest Ive been in, the staff and other tattooers were extremely nice and welcoming. Im going back in August for more work by Tony, but I would trust any of the artists to tattoo me, as well.

I got my first tattoo when I was 18 (2 years ago) from these guys. I got it about 4 days after graduation with my grandmother (she paid for mine and hers. dont worry she had a very solid ankle). I came up with my design the night before my consultation. When we went they told us what needed to be done and what size needed for the details we wanted. Mine just needed to be a bit bigger; however we needed a whole different design for my grandmother. They were very patient and helpful in finding a new one for her; they even helped personalize it. Over all both tattoo cost $140.

I made a point to see Vicki for my nostril and daith piercing a little over a week ago. She is the best in my experience. She really knows her stuff! She was super cool during the whole experience. She walks you through everything, before/during/after, you have everything you need and need to know. Very comfortable to get pierced by her. Cant wait to go back next week for my next round. I am super stoked!

Piercings - as a perfectionist, I couldnt help but appreciate the measurement, precision, and care that was put into piercing my nose. She was very helpful and answered any questions I had, she took the time to explain what she was doing and was spot on when it came to the range of pain I would be expecting.

Got my first tattoo from Stephan about 2 years ago and he was fantastic, he really made sure I was in love with the design before I went ahead with it. And quite a few of my relatives only go here and theyve never had an issue...definitely the place to go!

Couldnt have asked for a better experience. Jeremiah did my piercing and patiently answered questions. Best of all, minimal pain and redness.
