As we enter the month of May we can’t believe how fast the year is moving. Summer is almost upon us! Don’t forget to wear sunscreen on those tattoos!
Wanderfest was an absolute blast ! We appreciate everyone that came out for our tattoo flash event. We stayed busy from 10am-9pm which was beyond our event hours. We enjoyed doing our flash designs and hope everyone had a good time. All the neighborhood businesses also seemed to have a successful and fun filled day. Huge thank you to the ladies of Two Tone Press for organizing the event and making sure everything went smoothly for all the businesses involved. We definitely look forward to next years Wanderfest.
The shop continues to be steady and we can’t thank everyone enough for the trust doing their tattoos. We will continue to take walk ins daily! For those of you that want to make an appointment, rather than get tattooed by chance, feel free to reach out to a tattoo artist via the “contact” tab.
That’s pretty much it for this feed. We are grateful for your support especially knowing that money can be stretched thin these days.
Here are a few recently done pieces by the crew here at GST.

Sorry we haven’t updated the site in a while but we’ve been busy all summer long. Life takes over outside of tattooing and the website has suffered a little. Don’t fret! We are still here doing out thing. The gallery currently has a really neat show up showcasing the works of Matthew Leuttger. We definitely recommend checking out these insane pieces utilizing found objects to create large works based on American traditional imagery.

Hello everyone. We hope that the year is going well for you ! As we slowly get to the end of winter we are all excited about that beautiful spring weather and the opportunity to show off new tattoos! We’d love to have you in the shop for your next tattoo! We started taking more walk ins due to having brought on more artists. While Saturday will remain focused on walk ins only, we will be taking walk ins daily. Some of our artist do prefer to book early in the week so please reach out to them to see about availability if you are seeking to get work from a particular artist.
A reminder that the Steeped in Tradition Tattooer Art Show is still available in the gallery. Don’t miss out on this awesome show. Many pieces from some of the top tattoo artists in the country paying homage to the craft itself through the creation of artwork that embodies the foundation of tattooing. Many of the artwork is for sale! Take home one of these outstanding works of art and decorate your home, office or tattoo shop for those that are tattooers . All are welcome to come view the artwork. They truly need to be seen in person to be appreciated.

The January 14th opening of Steeped in Tradition was a great success. With frigid temperatures outside we had a turnout that we could only dream of! Tattooers from as far as Washington traveled to enjoy the show. The support for this event is overwhelming and we are very appreciative of that. Thanks to the work of Colby Morton, Steve Bayman , Angie Bayman and Michelle Dreher we were able to promote and hang the show. King Theodore Records also was kind enough to spin the records that created a great atmosphere! This show has over 90 artists and 140 works of art. We are very grateful and thankful for all those that supported the event by attending and those artists that sent work to participate in one of the largest curated tattooer run art shows in the United States.
Check out some of the photos we managed to take during the show below. The show will be available to view (and art to purchase) through the end of February.

Another month is almost in the books as this year seems to be screaming by. Hopefully everyone has had a safe and fun summer. As stated in the previous “Feeds” we recommend you stay out of the sun as much as possible with those new tattoos! Want your tattoo to last? The use of sunblock is a must! Don’t let the sun destroy your tattoos that you spent your hard earned cash on.
Kai Pierce has been trucking along in her apprenticeship and has been green lite to do simple walk-ins. These will be done at a reduce rate . Anyone that is interested in getting tattooed by Kai should email the shop to set something up or come in during business hours to talk to her. Pictures of her work thus far are in her artist profile on this website.
Thanks again to all our great clients that let us do what we love for a living.

Thanks for looking! We hope to see you in the shop for an appointment or a walk-in!
We are in the thick of summer and it’s been a hot one. Be careful with those fresh tattoos! No direct sunlight and keep them out of water please! Nothing worse than seeing a fresh tattoo abused and healed badly.
Also, if you are going to get tattooed keep that in mind when you are out in the sun. We will not tattoo on sunburnt skin and peeling skin. Treat your skin right! High SPF sunscreen is the way to go!
Artist Zach Yates is out of the shop for a while mending a broken arm. Let’s wish Zach a speedy full recovery. We already miss his laugh and SoundCloud rap music haha. Get well Zach!
Kai Pierce is the shop apprentice and she’s been allowed to tattoo simple pieces moving forward. Linework tattoos and simple shaded pieces . She also has a style that is unique so check her out for a custom design if you like.
We have a guest artist Tommy Rick who is sitting in until October. His information and bio will soon be up on the site in the artist section. Check him out!
Thanks for the continued support and we hope to see you in the shop soon!
By appointment or walk-in Tuesday -Friday . Saturdays walk ins all day.

This past Sunday we participated in the Tower East Wanderfest event. The shop hosted a tattoo special and had artists Steve Bayman, Lindsey Bulla, Zach Yates, Dominick Barbosa and Adam Unrein doing designs they created for $60-$100.
Everyone had a great time and we can’t thank all our clients that showed up enough. The whole neighborhood had a great time! Businesses had discounts, open doors to galleries and food trucks! There was also a Hip Hop graffiti festival with live mural painting , breakdancing and more. Awesome time ! We look forward to participating in next years Wanderfest! Here are a few pictures from the day!

2023’s first month is almost behind us. Thanks to all our great clients we have stayed busy through January and look forward to an even busier spring. Tattooing has always been a bit seasonal and as we head into “tax season” we expect to be even busier in our 5th year open. Walk in Saturdays are now in full effect! Always feel free to call ahead, but walk ins are a first come first served basis. Larger work is still preferred to be done on an appointment basis.
The shop is also saying goodbye to Dominick. Dom has been with us for a couple years, has worked really hard and it’s been a pleasure to watch him grow and thrive. We appreciate all that he’s done for the shop. He’s represented us to the fullest and will always be a member of the Golden Stag family. He will be in the shop for February and then will be moving over to Stormy Tattoo. He’s always welcome to come hang and do some tattoos in the future so keep an eye on our page for when that happens. Thanks and we wish you nothing but the best Dom.
We still have Steve, Lindsey and Adam in the shop to take care of your needs. Adam is in the shop every other week taking walk ins.
March we will be hosting guest artist Tristen Wilson again. He will be sitting in March 6th-11th. If you’d like to get in with Tristen , feel free to send us an email to set something up. goldenstagtattoo@gmail.com

Update on Artist Adam Unrein. He’s going to be week on week off moving forward. He primarily does walk ins so feel free to call ahead to see about scoring a walk-in with him.
ALSO! WALK-IN SATURDAYS will be something to look forward to in 2023. Steve, Dominick and Adam will be doing walk ins all day Saturdays. Call ahead if you want on Saturdays to see how busy we are or just swing in.
We look forward to working with you all in 2023!
