The Golden Owl Tattoo & Gallery

I cannot say enough nice things about this business, both as professionals and as artists. I walk in as a clean canvas with a ton of questions on how this process works, after reviewing the portfolio they had I figured these guys were up to the task. Forrester talks to me, we schedule an appointment, and I called daily up to the date and minute of our appt. to ask newbie questions about the process, time, design, etc. Each time someone answered the phone and took time to respond without making me feel like i was a pain in the a** (which I am sure I was).

The day is here, excited, adrenaline, all the fun feelings. I lay down and now sh*t gets real... back to annoying multi question asking customer that I was. Forrester cracked jokes, kept up the convo, gave me breaks, and when the process was done and I thanked him his response was "I appreciate your compliments, I like that I can do what I enjoy and I know doing this art is something on your body for the rest of your life I take it very serious."

Furthermore, when the ink seeped out fo my skin I freaked out (natural part of the process but again I am the new guy). I called Golden Owl late after they were open and again early in the morning. They were not open obviously and I did not leave a message. What do I get 30 min before their store hours? A call from them saying "Hey we had two missed calls from this number, everything alright?" If this is not great customer service, I don't know what is. I came into the shop to ask any comments on the tattoo care and Donavan was happy to respond with everything I asked.

If by chance you are a reviewer that only reads the last line of a post, here it is...

"Forrester is a great artist, Donavan and his team are just great at what they do."

Yelp needs to make a review with a higher star rating, these guys deserve a 10.

I got my first tattoo at the Golden Owl by Donavan and I've been hooked ever since. He is a really nice and fair dude, not to mention talented, like insanely talented. He has become kind of a hero of mine because I respect his work and business ethics so much and I'm so proud to tell people where and who I got tattooed by and I recommend him to everyone who comments on my tattoo. I'll be getting a huge piece on my back next and I'm 100% confident that he's gonna kill it.

Fucking love this place!

Donavan is seriously the RADEST dude ever! I love all my tattoos by him and will continuely go to him forever! AMAZING WORK!  And he's worth the wait and the price! Thanks for being amazing at what u do Donavan!!
