I went to Nicole for some new tattoo additions and am so glad I did! She helped bring my ideas to life and walked me through everything she was doing. Nicole and everyone else that works at Golden Yeti are very funny, kind, talented, and easy going. I can’t wait to go back for more tattoos!!!

I started going to Louie at Golden Yeti about two years ago. In total, he has done four tattoos for me from then until now and I get complements everywhere I go! Folks are always asking who my artist is and telling me how great the placement looks, all thanks to Louie! The artwork is phenomenal and the placements work so well. All of the other artists have been super friendly and are also incredibly talented. I will definitely be coming back! Thanks, y’all!

Have been tattooed by almost every artist there. Cannot recommend highly enough. We are graced with some of the best artists in our own back yard. Go. Do it. Don’t go to Nashville. Go to golden yeti.
