Reached out to Andy for a palm tree tattoo and was able to take me in the same day! He worked with me on different designs and made the overall experience super easy! Walked me through the whole process and made me feel as comfortable as you can be getting a tattoo. The tattoo came out even better than I expected and had a great time doing it! Will definitely be getting more work by Andy

I booked an appointment over this weekend with Andy & he made time for me to come in the next day. Not only was he extremely personable & kind, he was able to work with my schedule and accommodate a mid afternoon request.
The best part about Andy was he preparation. He had 5+ options he worked/sketched out beforehand for my design. He’s a super genuine and SUPER talented artist.
I will definitely be referring my friends to true gold tattoo!

If you’re looking for a classic American traditional tattoo this is the spot! Andrew’s work is absolutely beautiful, and the shop is spacious, clean, and covered in beautiful classic tattoo flash. If you’re not quite sure what you’re wanting Andrew has tons of books and prints to look through. He was super patient with me, listened to my interests, supplied me with options, and helped me to narrow in on a final choice for my tattoo. I’m thrilled with how my tattoo turned out, and can’t wait to get in for my next one!

My wife and I spontaneously got our tattoos here over the weekend. Andy was super professional, friendly, and answered all of our questions to make sure we were comfortable. His shop is super clean and organized, which is also reflected in the clean, precise tattoos he gave my wife and I. I highly recommend his business.

Great service! Me and a friend did walk ins and he worked with us to find something we both were interested in getting. He made sure we were accomodated for and was just really nice to work with. I would go to him again when I'm in the area!

Best tattoo experience I've had. I was a walk-in with a custom design and Andy was able to fit me in the very next day. The session flew by, and the whole time Andy was a pleasure to talk to. He has great stories, a wealth of tattoo knowledge and history, and his shop is spacious yet homely. Exceptional experience; I'm already planning my next visit

Andy is seriously the best. I will definitely be a regular. I cannot recommend him enough. He made me feel so comfortable and was super patient when I came in with nothing really in mind. He has great taste in artwork so looking for something new and refreshing was the right way to go. He offered great advice about the placement and design. It’s now my favorite tattoo! The shop and vybe is super authentic. Its definitely the experience you want to have when getting tattooed. I’m already planning my next one.

What a find! Best tattoo experience I’ve ever had! If your thinking about getting a tattoo you have to stop at True Gold and see Andy! He’s an amazing artist and the shop has a great vibe, super mellow and comfortable. I’m picky about tattoos, some artists would probably kick me to the curb because I’m such a pain! But Andy was extremely patient with me and we were able to work together to come up with a tattoo that we were both stoked on! Super nice guy, great artist, I highly recommend this artist and shop.
