Golden Dagger Tattoos and Piercings 510 20th Street, Huntington, WV 25703

"I got the top of my ear pierced about 8 months ago there and the piercer told me to come back and get my bar changed and everytime I try to they either didn’t have a bar for my ear or the piercer wasn’t there, so I finally was able to get it changed on 01/20/24 and the day after I had to go have my ear cut open to get the bar out the piercer put such a short bar in my ear that it inbeded half way through the piercing. If the piercer didn’t have the right bar he should’ve just told me instead of putting my through the pain and time it took to get it out of my ear. I will NEVER be going back here again and the piercer should not be allowed to even put a needle near someone’s body if he’s gonna do that to his client. If you end up getting pierced here be very careful because he is not good at what he does"

"John is a quality piercer! He genuinely wants your piercings to come out well, and will advise you to not get piercings that won’t heal well or that their angle could be uncomfortable. 5 stars is a little low if you ask me."

"I took my 12 year old daughter to have her ears pierced. I’d heard so many horror stories from the cheaper high street alternative and I wanted this done right. First of all we must have been the WORST customers ever cos we probably took about an hour deciding exactly where we wanted the dots to go to guide the piercing. John was incredibly patient with us - super professional!! The place is spotless clean. He uses a needle and not a gun and it was 100% accurate to the dot we had placed. We happened to have a small issue with the angle of the whole in one ear. Again, super patient and professional. He talked us through it, we ended up taking one of them out to heal up in a few weeks then he redid it. He never made us feel like a nuisance. There is also no chance of any infections here. The place is spotless and my daughter’s ears are doing great. I’d be back here for any future piercings and would thoroughly recommend them - great safe option for a professional reliable service!"

"So my tattoo is from when they first open, I went in for my consult and we discussed my half sleeve that I wanted showed them where and how big I wanted it, I sent in my reference photos and we books. Now I go in and no my appointment and the tattoo was not what I was wanting and was nowhere close to a half sleeve either. All he did was take one of my references photos and tattooed it. Now I know I could have said that it wasn’t right but I thought he was doing a section at a time so I didn’t say it, I was there for almost 6 hours getting this tattoo. So by the time he was done I was annoyed and ready to go home. Now the tattoo it’s self it amazing and he did fantastic but it wanted what I wanted, atleast not completely anyways. The studio it’s self is amazing and the employees are great it’s clean but as for communication not the best. The tattoo artist I had no longer works there and I have since added on to the tattoo with a different artist."

"This is strictly regarding the piercing as I have not received a tattoo here. Johnny’s attitude the first time we met was great. He was very friendly and personable. He explained everything thoroughly about the piercing process etc. I’ve been back probably at least 10 times since then. Not infrequently, he hasn’t been there and there is no one else to help you, even if you just want to buy a piece of jewelry. When he has been there, he has not been friendly or helpful. Instead he makes you feel like you are bothering him and not worth his time, even if you are the only customer there. I understand that everyone has bad days so I kept going back and trying again but it has happened too many times at this point and I will not return again."
