Golden Stag Tattoo and Gallery

Absolutely Great Experience!!! Nice shop, good atmosphere, professional artist. Highly recommended

Lindsey did an amazing job on my tattoo and ensuring the entire experience was comfortable and exciting! She is super personable, takes her time to get to know you as a client and takes her time to make sure your tattoo is AMAZING. I will definitely be returning for any future work, thanks Lindsey!!

Steve is amazing. The atmosphere is awesome. He went above and beyond and didn't laugh or mock me for having a low pain tolerance was very nice with letting me take a few breaks. Excellent quality. Definitely will be back

Lindsay is wonderful! Such a eclectic shop with very awesome curios. Super clean and professional. Love my piece so much. The prices are very fair for super professional pieces.

Great experience. I did get what you get and my guy let me go again since we were all taken by surprise at the 1st one.😅 The 2nd was this lil guy. Raor. Was quick and is healing nicely. The artist was decent-handed and had solid lines. Style isn't my typical but I love it.

Best traditional shop in Kansas City.Steve has a great team,ethic, and attitude toward customer care and solid tattooing in a friendly environment.

Had a great experience. Mr. Barbosa did a tattoo for myself and my spouse. He was very clean and followed every possible sanitary rule that might exist, which we really appreciated. His linework was fantastic and he was very understanding and did such a wonderful job. I hope we can get a tattoo again from him next year!

The work Steve did is out of this world! He is an amazing artist and the studio is set up like an art gallery. It is worth it just to swing by and check out the art. All of the artist there were exceptionally talented and kind. Thank you for my amazing tattoo!

I went in for my consultation with Lindsey and I was immediately comfortable! The place is very clean, inviting, and has a nice vibe. Lindsey was very nice and patient- I'm so excited to work with her!

Matt was a boss, nailed my tattoo, and was super friendly and helpful!

Matthew was awesome and my wife and I had the absolute best experience with him. Couldn't be happier with our artwork and Matthew is the coolest guy. Definitely coming back for our next pieces!

I've been bouncing around tattoo shops ever since my first. Until I found Golden Stag. This place is wonderful. The artists are outstanding, the attitude and atmosphere is great, and the art that comes out of here is next level. 10/10. I'm thrilled with the pieces I have done by Lindsey - and highly recommend booking with any of the talented people here. You won't regret it!

Worked with Matthew and everything went really well! My first idea didn't pan out but we did some brainstorming together and found something else, and I'm super happy with how it turned out! Nice chill guy to work with, definitely will be back for more ink. All of the artists here have some killer skills, so be sure to check em all out!

I had a unique familial piece I wanted mimicked and Steve did a fantastic job of doing just that! I'm very satisfied with the service and artwork done here! :)

Just finished my session with Mathew and it was awesome from start to finish. He took his time to make sure my tattoo placement was perfect and did an exceptional job with it. Also a very down to earth and nice person. If you're looking for someone who will give you exactly what you want, trust me and all the good reviews, go to him. I'll be back for sure for more tattoos

Went in and got a tattoo of a frog from the gumball machine. I liked it but then I seen he left the nostrils open and I asked my artist Matthew to fill it in. He did that then randomly for NO reason blacked in the eyes more. Now my frogs eyes look terrible and I'm stuck with it for life. He was also rude. See someone else.

Lindsay's artwork is something else. Be sure to ask for a peek at her portfolio. Her nature artwork is seriously beautiful.

Fantastic experience everytime! I have been tattooed 3 times by Lindsey and I'm amazed each time by how beautiful the piece is and how she manages to take my simple idea and make it so much better. Can't recommend enough! There are 2 other tattoo artists in the studio and I guarantee no matter who you make an appointment with you'll be very happy with the outcome

Not enough communication. I made an appointment about a month in advance to get a tattoo done on my 21st birthday. I had sent a sketch to give an idea of what I wanted and asked two days before the appointment to see what the artist had drawn. I got no response. The next day I asked again and still got no response. I had to call and ask them to send it to me and then I didn't receive the photo until 11pm that night. The photo looked almost exactly like the sketch I had sent them so they basically just copied it which was not what I wanted. The sketch I sent was meant to give a basic idea, not be the actual tattoo. I had wanted it to be vastly improved on since I'm not the best artist. I explained what I wanted changed and sent a few reference photos of other tattoos I found online to give them a better idea of what I was going for. The artist then says that they can't do that because it is to realistic and basically cancels my appointment the night before, giving me no time to set a new appointment with another artist in time for my birthday. I had gone thru the artists portfolio on their website before hand and they had many realistic drawings, one was even black and white in a similar style to what I had wanted, so I didn't see why this was out of the scope of their ability. I thought I had been descriptive enough and given enough detail for them, but apparently not. I feel if they had sent their drawing sooner when I first initially asked for it then we could have realized it wouldn't work sooner and had time to get a different artist at the shop to do it instead. I realize they are busy and have other customers, but they should still be able to answer and respond to a few texts to ensure all of their customers are happy and satisfied. In the end this ultimately ruined my 21st birthday, which was supposed to be a fun and special day.

This is my go-to tattoo shop, Dominick is who did my tattoo and he did an amazing job. The tattoo turned out beautiful and healed so well and didn’t kill my wallet. I can’t wait to go back and get another one
