Gold Dust Tattoos & Fine Art

We stopped in here to have my daughter’s nose pierced. The space looked nicer than most of the tattoo shops in lower Greenville. The staff were friendly and quite knowledgeable. They took the time to ensure we were properly id’d and explained the procedure, and showed me the equipment they would use. The needle and the stud were sealed and clean, and the piercer wore gloves. It was quick and easy and my daughter was thrilled with her new look.

I searched through hundred of portfolios online, instagram, facebook, Unilocal,etc. searching for the perfect artist for my mandala. I found a few ok artists and then found Jason Call and knew he was THE ONE!
I saw he was booked through January so decided to email him ASAP to get myself in line! HE quickly responded that he had a cancellation and asked if I wanted it. So Hell Yea I took it! I even left work early for it!
He gave me a perfect tattoo! Just what I wanted!
The shop itself was very clean and laid back. I hate going into a tattoo shop where you feel out of place and/​or uncomfortable… Like… I’m about to get poked thousands of time… be cool…
Anyways, other great artists there as well! I will go back for more ink!

I’ve been itching to get another tattoo recently because well, reasons. I had passed Gold Dust quite a few times while meandering around lower Greenville. Finally because of a series of recent events, I decided to go in and get it done. I was put in touch with Zach by one of the other artists at the shop. I told him what I wanted, he gave me an estimate, and then I mentioned that I may come back later that evening or book an appointment later.
Apparently after dinner elsewhere on lower Greenville, I decided it was time to take the dive and go on in. The prep time took about 10 minutes and the tattoo took about 20 minutes. Zach was really cool the entire time and gave me plenty of prep and post information for the healing process. I had a great experience with Zach despite just being a random walk-​in. He does great line work and apparently my girlfriends are now itching to go in and get some script work done too.
If you are planning on being a walk-​in, you’re best bet will be Mondays through Wednesdays. Just ask for the Zach — he has a beard and he’s hard to miss!

I can’t tell you how much I love this place! Char, the owner/​operator, is a great friend of mine. When my grandfather passed away, I spoke with her about the style tattoo wanted for a memorial and she instantly recommended Roque. As badly as I wanted a Char piece, I trusted her when she said he was the one I should see. Needless to say, I am blown away by the piece Roque drew for me. I gave him my idea and he ran with it. He texted me the night before with his prelim drawing and I had tears in my eyes it was so beautiful and perfect! Everything that I wanted it to be! I get compliments daily on my piece. I have a feeling that Gold Dust will be seeing me a lot more! Plans for a sleeve already in my mind!

Came in as a walk in on a Saturday night. These guys were very friendly and welcoming. Had Zach do some line work and will definitely be back for more.

These guys put you at ease, friendly, and are extremely helpful! I will definitely come back.

Char is by far the best of the best! Whether you’re looking for beautiful artwork or unique, original tattoos she’s the person to go see! Aside from her immaculate artistic talent she’s nothing but professional and makes you feel extremely comfortable no matter how long you’re in the chair. Overall, no matter what, you’ll leave extremely satisfied after getting tattooed by char!

Pretty cool place. Just got a piercing done but more than likely will return for some art work. S/​O to David Nash for the experience!!!

Char is now my go to tattoo artist. She did my first piece and it came out great. Even though it was a small tattoo, she didn’t rush it. Her shop is clean and welcoming. Char, keep setting the bar high for every tattoo artist out there. I highly recommend her and will definitely be back.

I can’t find words to express how much this artist (Dave)@ Gold Dust II has done for me, if you have ever had a bad tat. Then you must know how thankful I am of this guy for 5 years I have been so self conscious of my left arm dressing to hide my tat. Now the arm I hide for years I’m so so proud of! Dave you are amazing! people stop me everywhere to complent your work, even other artists (that’s saying something)
Mad respect for you Dave
Thanks Laura

Not too bad, just got a quote done on my rib about a month ago. Ask for David. He’s a nice guy.

The shop is amazing and so comfortable compared to any shop I’ve been in, ie imagine a hip NYC loft with great artwork (by Char and many other talented artists) filling the walls. Char cares so much about what she does and invests her time and money to give you the best. Her machines are virtually silent which I’m sure costs triple what a normal irritating machine does. Lastly I want to say her talent is unsurpassed by any top national artist. She gave me exactly what I wanted by taking my thoughts and translating onto paper and then my body. Her suggestions made what I thought was perfect even better. Listen to what she says and take her advice it will work in your favor. I didn’t just get a little clover on my ankle I’ve gotten a total of 3 half sleeves (I got my nephew a half sleeve for graduation and he’s extremely pleased as well) and a pec piece and calf. So she IS my go to artists from now on.
If you don’t want to be cionstantly stopped and asked or complimented about your tattoo then go somewhere else bc her work is amazing!!!

This is a great place with great people. If you want artists who still have creativity and imagination go see these guys. David Nash is a great artist and has got to be one of the best people period to have a conversation with. David recently did wedding tattoos for my wife and I and we couldn’t be happier with them.

Char is my «go to» for all my ink. Her skill and artistry are amazing. She’s incredibly talented, very professional, and accomplished in different styles of tattooing. I’m always thrilled with the results and get lots of compliments on her work.
David is my guy for piercing. He did a great job at correcting a botched septum piercing I’d gotten at another shop. He’s fun, knowledgeable, and good at calming your nerves.
The shop is very clean, well organized, and comfortable. I always have a great experience while there and look forward to my next visit.
