Golden Goat Tattoo Company

I had went to get a double helix piercing after hearing plenty of great review about this place, but now I just wasted $100 as well as a piercing I am unhappy with.

First off, when my friend and I walked in, the girl in the front seemed to be completely new and oblivious to what was going on. She gave us the wrong prices and seemed like she had no idea what was going on. Thankfully, another girl told her the right prices and and that was settled.

Sean was our piercer. I had read up about the place before going, and Sean had a lot of great recommendations, so I was relieved at first. When we walked into the room, my friend got her helix piercing first. She showed him a picture of where she wanted it, and he looked at it for a millisecond before saying, “great. that’ll be easy.” After getting her piercing, it was WAY too high. She had asked to get it repierced because the placement was way too off.

For mine, I got a double helix, in which I asked for a stud on top and a ring on the bottom. I had repeated the order multiple times (seeing that he messed up on my friends) as well as telling him the EXACT location of where I wanted it. Even before piercing it, he had asked me once more which I wanted on top and which I wanted on the bottom. After examining it in the mirror, it was too low, the order was incorrect, and he pierced me in a spot I never wanted, making my ear hurt 10x more than it should of. (He pierced me right next to the anithelix) I took out the stud after a few weeks because it was hurting way too much and the back of my ear was swollen because the back of the stud dug too much into my skin. Now I have to wait a few more months before getting the piercing I want again and I wasted $100+ for a piercing I never asked for.

On a side note, Sean was nice throughout the process and the shop was very clean as the reviews suggest. I am just very disappointed in the way our visit went and wished it could have gone better.

Sean is a wonderful guy who does amazing piercings. Rianne does the most AMAZING tattoos. Just recently got a tattoo finished by her and I’m in love.

This place is incredible!!! Rianne Philips is an incredible artist and everyone that works there is always so friendly and helpful. The overall feel of the shop is like nothing I have ever experienced and I have been to several tattoo shops around the state of Texas. Rianne has so far done one tattoo for me, covered up one awful tattoo and I am scheduled to meet up with her this weekend to work on another. I will NEVER go anywhere else for a tattoo, I can guarantee that!! Also, Sean is the piercer there and tho I haven't had a piercing from him I have two friends that have and their piercings are incredible and have healed with no issues. I'm telling you, there's nowhere else to go in the area. If you want a quality tat or piercing, Golden Goat is the place to go.

Sean did my helix piercing and was very helpful with my questions. The staff was awesome very friendly and funny. I was super nervous about my piercing but they took my mind off of it while I waited. I will be going back for the other piercings I want.

I love my piercing! Everything was explained really well and super clean.

Got 4 lobe pericings here, and it was quick and painless!

Super clean, comfortable space with great covid19 protocols!

My pericings healed up great!

My girlfriend went in for a follow-up with her ear piercing she got here a year ago. They took excellent care of her. Quality work, great service, and super clean. Highly recommended.

I was lucky enough to have work done by Rianne Phillips while she was still in Northern Virginia. I've not had a better experience before or after. My custom sugar skull owl remains my favorite piece and the blue roses are a perfect tribute to my sons. Beyond the work she magically provides, she is friendly, kind, and very caring. Its refreshing when artists treat you like a canvas and not like their check.
Feel like a masterpiece and see her at Golden Goat. I will, given the chance. - Eddie

The moment that I walked through the doors, I knew I was going to be impressed with the Golden Goat. This shop is super clean, and everyone I talked to made me feel right at home. I checked out the portfolios and it was tough to choose who to go with, they all looked good. I ended up going with Ricky and his work was amazing! I will definitely be coming back next time. So glad a good shop has finally come to Round Rock!

I got a nose piercing from another company, and have had nothing but problems with the quality of the nose piercing I received. At my Dr. appointment I asked my nurse about her nose piercing and if she would recommend a company and she said go to the Golden Goat. The piercing artist was knowledgeable and they had high quality nose jewelry to choose from. I would highly recommend the Gden Goat for all your piercing needs.
