I came in to get a new stud for my nose piercing post because I lost my old one. The place was nice but I waited 30 minutes and then the person who helped me was not very communicative. I asked for helping getting the new stud into my nose and the person who did it was very rough and stuck the forceps pretty far up my nostril. I like the stud but I will not be returning because of the service. Read Less

No issues with this place, I went in for a piercing and came out with a piercing. The lady who pierced my ear seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I did walk in right during the lunch hour but she had informed me it would be a moment or two and I was fine with the wait. When I asked about pricing she told me 25 and then when I cashed out it turned out to be closer to 40 because the initial price she told me was only for the jewelry, and that was a little sneaky in my opinion but not a reason to not go back if I need another piercing. The area was very clean and they were very careful to not cross contaminate. Read Less

Went to get a piercing. Shop was clean. Everyone was friendly. They have seperate tattoo rooms and piercing rooms which i love. Ramona originally helped get all set up for my piercing. I was so nervous. Both Ramona and Jen ended up piercing me at the same time to help with my nerves. They were both wonderful. Helped me stay calm and talked me through everything. I would recommend both of them for an piercing. I am beyond satisfied with my piercing. Thank you both so much. Read Less

I got my nipples pierced here this morning past saturday night by Jen and she did such an amazing job. She made me feel nothing just relaxed and comfortable-which is very important when you are just showing a stranger your bare body, lol. She made sure I was 100% happy with the placement prior to the piercings. She talked me through the best way to breathe through the piercings and I experienced absolutely no pain, just a quick pink each time. They are h along so beautifully and i have had close to zero soreness and zero bleeding the entire time. They look SO amazing and I am already recommending her to all of my friends.YOU ROCK JEN!!

It irritates me how some of these reviews are negative - for stupid reasons IMO. I’ve worked front counter at tattoo shops in the mid-west. Photocoping ID’s is protocol no matter how old you are, or look. Longer waiting times are normal because customers often times need to take breaks during tattoo sessions which cause appointments to run over. I have 18 piercings (most of them from this parlor) and I’m heavily tattooed (a lot from here as well). Been going to The Golden Rule since they were located back by the Silverdale waterfront park. I’ve NEVER had an issue. Ya’ll need to take a step back and think, this is one of the longest running tattoo and piercing parlors in Kitsap County. They stand by their work and 100% help you if you’re having problems with a survice they provide, come back and they will fix it. They are VERY hygienic and knowledgeable. - THIS IS WHY THEY ARE STILL HERE AND GOING STRONG. I had a tattoo done 6 YEARS ago from one of their artists (who still works there.) and he touched up the tattoo he gave me FOR FREE after all those years. Even though I didn’t take care of it (didn’t use sun block, picked at it when it was fresh, etc.) he backs his work. Maybe your issues with them are due to your own ignorance on proper aftercare because you didn’t listen to your artist after your survice? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or it was an unforeseen issue with your body rejecting the piercing/having an allergy to some product you used on it during the healing process (IT HAPPENS). This is NOT their fault. So don’t leave them a crappy review. Just saying... Read Less

Ever since I was little I had a terrible fear of needles, like literally had to consent to restraints or be held down by nurses for a simple blood draw. I really wanted to get my nose pierced though and my friend took me to Golden Rule. The piercer was SO patient and put up with me and my shenanigans for about 20 minutes until I finally (kinda) let him pierce me. It was done before I could even pull away and no blood! I so appreciated his understanding and ability to make me feel comfortable. 10/10! Read Less

I got my nipples pierced here with my girlfriend by Ramona and Jen. I was super scared and nervous but they made the experience super fun and relaxing, and it was QUICK. They took the time to sterilize everything and had a great variety of jewelry to choose from.The pain only lasted for literally a second and my nips now look bomb af!!! They also provided proper cleaning instructions and provided the saline spray needed to clean the piercings. I've had them for a month now and they are healing beautifully.I'd 10/10 recommend this place if you're thinking about getting your next piercing. Read Less

Had a tattoo done recently by an artist here who is only here a couple months out of the year and it came out pretty nice. Awesome artist.My only complaint about this place is their shit customer service. It's  funny because a lot of their reviews have more or less been about their poor customer service. Anywayyyy, I was scheduled for an appointment at 6pm Om Sunday by a gentlemen, a week prior. When the day finally came a rather large man behind the counter, I believe his name was PORKCHOP or PORK BELLY (or something of that nature) was bitching about how it was closing time and how he didn't understand why I was scheduled so late. Nag, nag, nag, "We'll I'm going home at 6pm, I don't know who's going to stay behind but I'm going home" nag nag nag. Extremely unprofessional.  He proceeded to charge me. I understood the total as $275 when it was actually 27.50. Clearly I was confused but instead of being helpful he said very condescendingly, "No, I just need 2 20s, you can put the rest away, see here, 27.50." First of all, fuck you PORK CHOP what gives you the right to speak to me that way, you're the one behind the counter you're the one that would be without a paycheck if it wasn't for people such as myself. Oh, I'm sorry DOCTOR PORKBELLY. clearly this man is so much smarter than the average customer, clearly this man has more than a High school diploma under his metaphorical belt, although even that would still be difficult to believe.. I digress.. point is don't come here. Save your money and drive an extra hour to be seen by someone in Seattle who surely, SURELY understands how crucial good customer service is. As for you Dr. Pork chop, I'm sorry to have kept you from enjoying your TV dinner a couple minutes later than planned. Read Less

The staff are wishy-washy. Here's my story. We came in Thursday evening get our daughter's ears pierced we were told that the earrings started per ear 25.99 plus the piercing which was 10.00 per ear. They were not able to perform the piercing because it was late. I had called them again Friday evening to see if we could provide our own jewelry for my daughter's to get their ears pierced the the gentleman said yes that I spoke to you over the phone. Saturday we had went back to get our daughter's ears pierced before coming into the shop I had called to verify to make sure that we are able to use our own earrings for the piercing. The gentleman that I spoke to over the phone which I wish I would have gotten his name said yes we could use our own earrings. As I was getting ready to let my daughter's go back and get their ears done the gentleman with the purple hair had said that they could not use their own earrings. We had to purchase their earrings. Now the earrings are $25 per pair plus the piercing. We left due to the fact that they're being wishy-washy with their pricing and giving us improper information. Read Less

Had really high hopes for this place just based off of the woman who helped us. She was super nice and even helped us special order some new plugs. I paid for the full amount and she told us it would take 2-3 weeks to receive our items. She explained that she would call as soon as the shop received them and we could pick them up. Well ive called multiple times to check on the status of the order and its now been a month and a half. No one that works there has been any help. They dont even have the paper work proving that i paid for this order. All i have is the proof i paid over $100 to their shop on Feb 5th (day of our order). They never call me back with new information and now i'm just getting frustrated. Dont special order body jewelry from this shop apparently. Read Less

I always get sketched out when a place has no bad reviews. But with that in mind... I recently turned 18 and was nervous about getting a piercing (other than my 1st earlobes) but I felt very comfortable and welcome there. All of their equipment was very organized and clean they don't even re use the markers which is good. I asked a handful of questions and my piercer was more than happy to answer all of them without hesitation. Would highly recommend this place. Read Less

Got the worst tattoo of my life here! Tattoo "artist" didn't use black ink but used a faded dark blue color instead. My tattoo was just 4 words and he completely messed it up with his shaky hand. Worst part was the ink bled under my skin leaving a permanent blue halo on my tattoo. My tattoo looked like I had it done 15 years ago in a friends garage. The guy that did the tattoo said he guarantees his work and would do touch ups but there's no way I'd ever set foot near that guy or this place again. I was so embarrassed to show my tattoo. I had to spend more money to get a cover up done on my awful tattoo by a way more talented artist in a different shop. Cant speak for the other artists in this shop but there are better artists (than the guy that tattooed me) in other shops within the same area that I found so I would never risk it and come back to this shop. I don't remember the tattooers name but he was a tall skinny Caucasian male with tattoos next to his eyes and dermal piercings under his eyes. Read Less

Well this was awkward.I called and made an appointment. Came from Seattle and asked the receptionist about the appt. the guy pulls out his iPhone checks his texts and says we haven't heard from Jason. Jason wasn't there... apparently he hadn't been in all morning. Okay.... I get if life gets in the way, but the receptionist took down my number when I made the appt and you couldn't call me? Give me a little "hey this isn't a good time"? I didn't get angry, I honestly just stood there speechless.And then, to just add a little salt, one of the female piercers just started to get defensive about the situation when my friend made a comment about it. Like, uh, you have two (ex) clients standing here and you are gonna defend what's going on? Like I should be understanding if I made an appt and no one calls to say it isn't happening? Like how does that make it better?Considering he was not there yet and who knows if he would be I said "you know what. I'm not going to get one today" and they asked me to reschedule and I was like I really don't know, maybe I'll call. As I'm leaving the piercer yells to me that they'll take good care of me next time. Are you for real. Did you actually think after that I'd come back?Advice to Jason and Golden Rule: if your tattoo artist is not in, please call your store (if you can) or at least reception should call the client(s) if he hasn't showed up all morning instead of standing there awkwardly. And to that piercer- the only thing that you should have said was "I'm sorry". Everything else you said continued to make it a little worse, just be a little decent and maybe understand MY situation.

The people at Golden Rule are super nice!! However, I won't ever return there are as a paying customer. On July 29th, I took my daughter and my stepdaughter to get their belly buttons pierced. Both of my girls had the exact same experience in the healing process.Both stayed VERY red and obviously irritated (my stepdaughter has a darker complexion, and you could tell it with her skin tone as well). Within 2 days of each other, my stepdaughter's piercing came through her skin, and then my daughter's did the exact same. I have 28 piercings, and have never experienced what BOTH of my girls did, after getting the same piercing at the same time from the same piercer. I noticed right away their piercings were VERY shallow, but I TRUST that they know what they are doing. I WASTED over $200 on my girls' piercings from this experience. Again, please let me reitterate, the folks that work at Golden Rule are super friendly! Pleasant atmosphere, calm and warm. Read Less

I go here anytime I need a piercing done. Aaron has done some in the past and he is wonderful. I recently had Jen pierce myNipples which was pretty nerve wracking. I wasn't really sure what to expect but she made the experience fantastic. I felt very comfortable with her and she provided tons of information that I didn't even know about. The piercings look beautiful :) my only complaint is the girl that works the front desk needs to work on her attitude. I came in about a month after my piercing to get another bottle of the spray, I went traveling and they wouldn't let me take the aerosol can on the plane so I had to throw it away. When I asked for another bottle she rudely said "that's why you should've gotten the big can". I explained to her that I had to throw it away. Not a big deal but snarky remarks like that are so unnecessary in a customer service facility. Read Less

If I were rating this for piercings I've gotten here I'd give Golden Rule 5 stars. Always have had a great experience getting piercings here. I figured getting a tattoo here would be the same but that was not the case for me although I know of people who have gotten great tattoos here and will only go here. Was scheduled to get a tattoo done by Will I think his name was. He showed up late and apparently didn't know I was on the schedule. Gave attitude when it came to what I w...anted which was something very special to me, a few words written by my dead parents in their handwriting. Also stated that my moms handwriting was already all over the place or messy-something like that. Sorry she was paralyzed and couldn't write perfect. He did eventually try to shrink the words my mom wrote after he had already stomped away with it once before shaking his head only to give it back to me a second later saying he couldn't do it. I understand tattoo artists know what they can and can't do. I know sometimes we ask for the impossible when it comes to a tattoo. I don't think what I wanted was really that case here. Ill restencil it myself to make it more doable if that's the case but I won't be coming back here for it. If he went about it all with a better attitude and was professional I wouldn't probably have taken the time to do this review. See More Read Less

He likes to talk about how he won't do this tattoo or that tattoo, you will know who he is about 1 min into conversation because he will probably tell you what tattoos he will or won't do LOL.   The only reason why I give 3 stars is because I can not speak for the other artist in the shop, and the one who does the piercing is on point.

I'm only giving 2 stars right now, after this septum heals I'll give a full updated review. It took me 3 tries to get this done. The first two times I walked out because in the middle of being helped when asking a question about material (gold) the piercer started helping someone else and I had a life to get back to. I only went to this place because it was on my route. I finally got the piercing done(although this this time was no different, I just had more time to wait around). I know many people who have a septum piercing, I'm not sure mine was done right. First HOLY **** did it hurt, over and over and over again. I had to stop the guy a few times because it felt like he was pulling nerve endings out of my face. I think they bent the gold wrong, it doesn't close. He was trying for a good while but it hurt so bad and I was afraid he was going to do some damage with the plyers he was using. I've read up and realize some peoples wont heal for almost a year. Everyone is different, and I'm prepared to be one of those people. I think what freaked me out more was, how even though his hands were covered with gloves. The smell of weed was strong. I know it's legal here. I wasn't prepared for it. I mean this person is touching my face, and sticking metal through my skin. I didn't feel like he was trained enough to be there on his own. Had I of been just a little more paitient I would have waited for someone who was longer seasoned. Read Less

My struggle was more important and I wasn't going to let rude service get in my way. Got some okay advice.

The jewelry selection was really good, even though they were sold out of a lot we had seen the first visit. The price was very reasonable, and we were seen immediately.

No issues with this place, I went in for a piercing and came out with a piercing. The lady who pierced my ear seemed very knowledgeable and friendly. I did walk in right during the lunch hour but she had informed me it would be a moment or two and I was fine with the wait. When I asked about pricing she told me 25 and then when I cashed out it turned out to be closer to 40 because the initial price she told me was only for the jewelry, and that was a little sneaky in my opinion but not a reason to not go back if I need another piercing. The area was very clean and they were very careful to not cross contaminate. Read Less

It irritates me how some of these reviews are negative - for stupid reasons IMO. I’ve worked front counter at tattoo shops in the mid-west. Photocoping ID’s is protocol no matter how old you are, or look. Longer waiting times are normal because customers often times need to take breaks during tattoo sessions which cause appointments to run over. I have 18 piercings (most of them from this parlor) and I’m heavily tattooed (a lot from here as well). Been going to The Golden Rule since they were located back by the Silverdale waterfront park. I’ve NEVER had an issue. Ya’ll need to take a step back and think, this is one of the longest running tattoo and piercing parlors in Kitsap County. They stand by their work and 100% help you if you’re having problems with a survice they provide, come back and they will fix it. They are VERY hygienic and knowledgeable. - THIS IS WHY THEY ARE STILL HERE AND GOING STRONG. I had a tattoo done 6 YEARS ago from one of their artists (who still works there.) and he touched up the tattoo he gave me FOR FREE after all those years. Even though I didn’t take care of it (didn’t use sun block, picked at it when it was fresh, etc.) he backs his work. Maybe your issues with them are due to your own ignorance on proper aftercare because you didn’t listen to your artist after your survice? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Or it was an unforeseen issue with your body rejecting the piercing/having an allergy to some product you used on it during the healing process (IT HAPPENS). This is NOT their fault. So don’t leave them a crappy review. Just saying... Read Less

Had a tattoo done recently by an artist here who is only here a couple months out of the year and it came out pretty nice. Awesome artist.My only complaint about this place is their shit customer service. It's  funny because a lot of their reviews have more or less been about their poor customer service. Anywayyyy, I was scheduled for an appointment at 6pm Om Sunday by a gentlemen, a week prior. When the day finally came a rather large man behind the counter, I believe his name was PORKCHOP or PORK BELLY (or something of that nature) was bitching about how it was closing time and how he didn't understand why I was scheduled so late. Nag, nag, nag, "We'll I'm going home at 6pm, I don't know who's going to stay behind but I'm going home" nag nag nag. Extremely unprofessional.  He proceeded to charge me. I understood the total as $275 when it was actually 27.50. Clearly I was confused but instead of being helpful he said very condescendingly, "No, I just need 2 20s, you can put the rest away, see here, 27.50." First of all, fuck you PORK CHOP what gives you the right to speak to me that way, you're the one behind the counter you're the one that would be without a paycheck if it wasn't for people such as myself. Oh, I'm sorry DOCTOR PORKBELLY. clearly this man is so much smarter than the average customer, clearly this man has more than a High school diploma under his metaphorical belt, although even that would still be difficult to believe.. I digress.. point is don't come here. Save your money and drive an extra hour to be seen by someone in Seattle who surely, SURELY understands how crucial good customer service is. As for you Dr. Pork chop, I'm sorry to have kept you from enjoying your TV dinner a couple minutes later than planned. Read Less

Got the worst tattoo of my life here! Tattoo "artist" didn't use black ink but used a faded dark blue color instead. My tattoo was just 4 words and he completely messed it up with his shaky hand. Worst part was the ink bled under my skin leaving a permanent blue halo on my tattoo. My tattoo looked like I had it done 15 years ago in a friends garage. The guy that did the tattoo said he guarantees his work and would do touch ups but there's no way I'd ever set foot near that guy or this place again. I was so embarrassed to show my tattoo. I had to spend more money to get a cover up done on my awful tattoo by a way more talented artist in a different shop. Cant speak for the other artists in this shop but there are better artists (than the guy that tattooed me) in other shops within the same area that I found so I would never risk it and come back to this shop. I don't remember the tattooers name but he was a tall skinny Caucasian male with tattoos next to his eyes and dermal piercings under his eyes. Read Less

Well this was awkward.I called and made an appointment. Came from Seattle and asked the receptionist about the appt. the guy pulls out his iPhone checks his texts and says we haven't heard from Jason. Jason wasn't there... apparently he hadn't been in all morning. Okay.... I get if life gets in the way, but the receptionist took down my number when I made the appt and you couldn't call me? Give me a little "hey this isn't a good time"? I didn't get angry, I honestly just stood there speechless.And then, to just add a little salt, one of the female piercers just started to get defensive about the situation when my friend made a comment about it. Like, uh, you have two (ex) clients standing here and you are gonna defend what's going on? Like I should be understanding if I made an appt and no one calls to say it isn't happening? Like how does that make it better?Considering he was not there yet and who knows if he would be I said "you know what. I'm not going to get one today" and they asked me to reschedule and I was like I really don't know, maybe I'll call. As I'm leaving the piercer yells to me that they'll take good care of me next time. Are you for real. Did you actually think after that I'd come back?Advice to Jason and Golden Rule: if your tattoo artist is not in, please call your store (if you can) or at least reception should call the client(s) if he hasn't showed up all morning instead of standing there awkwardly. And to that piercer- the only thing that you should have said was "I'm sorry". Everything else you said continued to make it a little worse, just be a little decent and maybe understand MY situation.

The people at Golden Rule are super nice!! However, I won't ever return there are as a paying customer. On July 29th, I took my daughter and my stepdaughter to get their belly buttons pierced. Both of my girls had the exact same experience in the healing process.Both stayed VERY red and obviously irritated (my stepdaughter has a darker complexion, and you could tell it with her skin tone as well). Within 2 days of each other, my stepdaughter's piercing came through her skin, and then my daughter's did the exact same. I have 28 piercings, and have never experienced what BOTH of my girls did, after getting the same piercing at the same time from the same piercer. I noticed right away their piercings were VERY shallow, but I TRUST that they know what they are doing. I WASTED over $200 on my girls' piercings from this experience. Again, please let me reitterate, the folks that work at Golden Rule are super friendly! Pleasant atmosphere, calm and warm. Read Less

He did so great working with me since I'm scared of needles but desperately needed this piercing for migraine relief. My mom even got new jewelry for her nose and he custom fit it for her. It was a great experience for our first time and Golden Rule and I'll definitely be telling everyone I know about it and returning. Read Less

Got the worst tattoo of my life here! Tattoo "artist" didn't use black ink but used a faded dark blue color instead. My tattoo was just 4 words and he completely messed it up with his shaky hand. Worst part was the ink bled under my skin leaving a permanent blue halo on my tattoo. My tattoo looked like I had it done 15 years ago in a friends garage. The guy that did the tattoo said he guarantees his work and would do touch ups but there's no way I'd ever set foot near that guy or this place again. I had to spend more money to get a cover up done on my awful tattoo by a way more talented artist in a different shop. Edit: I don't remember the tattooers name but he was a tall skinny Caucasian male with tattoos next to his eyes and dermal piercings under his eyes. Read Less

I go here anytime I need a piercing done. Aaron has done some in the past and he is wonderful. I recently had Jen pierce myNipples which was pretty nerve wracking. I wasn't really sure what to expect but she made the experience fantastic. I felt very comfortable with her and she provided tons of information that I didn't even know about. The piercings look beautiful :) my only complaint is the girl that works the front desk needs to work on her attitude. I came in about a month after my piercing to get another bottle of the spray, I went traveling and they wouldn't let me take the aerosol can on the plane so I had to throw it away. When I asked for another bottle she rudely said "that's why you should've gotten the big can". I explained to her that I had to throw it away. Not a big deal but snarky remarks like that are so unnecessary in a customer service facility. Read Less

Took my daughter in for her first tattoo yesterday. We'd gone in ahead of time to talk to Chop about the tattoo she wanted. My daughter sent a couple reference photos to him and he was ready with exactly what she wanted. The tattoo looks really great and like it's going to heal perfectly.

To Jen, thank you for being so helpful with my piercing questions and needs, and thank you for piercing my daughter's nose. Even though she is a minor (with parental support), she made a decision about her body, and that was respected by you (instead of turning her away due to age as a few other places have done). The placement is perfect and jewelry was quality and well priced. We will return to you for all of our piercing needs in the future! Read Less

If I were rating this for piercings I've gotten here I'd give Golden Rule 5 stars. Always have had a great experience getting piercings here. I figured getting a tattoo here would be the same but that was not the case for me although I know of people who have gotten great tattoos here and will only go here. Was scheduled to get a tattoo done by Will I think his name was. He showed up late and apparently didn't know I was on the schedule. Gave attitude when it came to what I w...anted which was something very special to me, a few words written by my dead parents in their handwriting. Also stated that my moms handwriting was already all over the place or messy-something like that. Sorry she was paralyzed and couldn't write perfect. He did eventually try to shrink the words my mom wrote after he had already stomped away with it once before shaking his head only to give it back to me a second later saying he couldn't do it. I understand tattoo artists know what they can and can't do. I know sometimes we ask for the impossible when it comes to a tattoo. I don't think what I wanted was really that case here. Ill restencil it myself to make it more doable if that's the case but I won't be coming back here for it. If he went about it all with a better attitude and was professional I wouldn't probably have taken the time to do this review. See More Read Less

When I first got here I wasn't impressed because it took nearly 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge me and give me the forms for my piercing. The guy who did my piercing was very respectful and professional but I can't say the same for some of the other employees there who smirked when my friends and I entered the shop--we're 18 and it didn't seem like they took us as serious customers. Anyways the price for my piercing was great and the piercing itself is great--I never had any infection. Wish I could remember the name of the guy who pierced me because he deserves 5 stars, however, for the rest of my experience I gotta give this place and the other employees 3 stars. Read Less

I'm only giving 2 stars right now, after this septum heals I'll give a full updated review. It took me 3 tries to get this done. The first two times I walked out because in the middle of being helped when asking a question about material (gold) the piercer started helping someone else and I had a life to get back to. I only went to this place because it was on my route. I finally got the piercing done(although this this time was no different, I just had more time to wait around). I know many people who have a septum piercing, I'm not sure mine was done right. First HOLY **** did it hurt, over and over and over again. I had to stop the guy a few times because it felt like he was pulling nerve endings out of my face. I think they bent the gold wrong, it doesn't close. He was trying for a good while but it hurt so bad and I was afraid he was going to do some damage with the plyers he was using. I've read up and realize some peoples wont heal for almost a year. Everyone is different, and I'm prepared to be one of those people. I think what freaked me out more was, how even though his hands were covered with gloves. The smell of weed was strong. I know it's legal here. I wasn't prepared for it. I mean this person is touching my face, and sticking metal through my skin. I didn't feel like he was trained enough to be there on his own. Had I of been just a little more paitient I would have waited for someone who was longer seasoned. Read Less

Walked in with an extremely swollen lip seeking advice along with interest in getting a longer post for my medusa piercing. When I told them I got the piercing in Portland the person behind the counter rolled their eyes at me. Got a vibe that they weren't going to help me out but I still stayed and asked questions. My struggle was more important and I wasn't going to let rude service get in my way. Got some okay advice.

This wasn't our first visit to Golden Rule, our first was in search of tattoo artists, and though we didn't ultimately choose them for the tattoo (because of specific art styles we were searching for), the staff was so friendly and informative, that we chose to return when we later were looking for a piercer. The jewelry selection was really good, even though they were sold out of a lot we had seen the first visit. The price was very reasonable, and we were seen immediately. The staff was again extremely helpful and gave suggestions and options for angles and such, explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each choice.
