Wolf & Goat Tattoo

This will be long, but it’s well deserved. I’ve been getting tattooed by Van pretty much since he ended his apprenticeship. I was 19 at the time, now I’m 27 to put into perspective. I’ve followed him to every shop he moved to, added more and more to my arm until we had a full sleeve of all his own work and creative control, and was there to see the start of Wolf and Goat. Not only is this shop run by amazing people who believe in justice, equality, and equity, but they take immense pride in their craft and continue to hone their skills to be as good as they can be. Each person in the shop is incredibly talented, friendly, and just so fun to be around. I’ve since been tattooed by Kolbi as well, and have new additions to my body that have very quickly become a piece of me I didn’t realize I was missing until I got tattooed. They’ve also got Jimmy Maldonado piercing there, who I’ve been pierced by multiple times, and he’s just such a ray of light. Anytime I was there to see him for piercings I felt so emotional just being in his presence, that’s how authentic and real and kind he is. I feel devastated I no longer live in the US, and a good part of that reason is because I don’t know when I can go here again and see these people who’ve been such a huge part of my adulthood and the changes I’ve gone through as a person. Can’t wait to see how much Wolf and Goat grows as the years go by, and will always recommend Van, Kolbi, Jimmy, and really anyone there because they’re all so amazing at what they do. Whatever style you prefer, they’ve got an artist for you and you will be getting some of the best work in the industry. Love you guys, keep up the amazing work 💕

This shop is absolutely EVERYTHING!!! Jimmy did the cutest, most perfect piercing to give my ears that extra sparkle, and I am OBSESSED with how it turned out. The jewelry selection? Unreal. So many stunning, high-quality pieces — I wanted them all! Jimmy’s expertise and confidence made the whole experience feel effortless, safe, and honestly so much fun. If you’re even thinking about getting a piercing, RUN — don’t walk — to see Jimmy at Wolf and Goat. 1000/10 recommend!!!

Tlazocamati Jimmy for my beautiful piercing. I absolutely love it. If you’re looking for your next piercing I recommend coming to see him. He’s good people, and supporting local Indigenous businesses like his makes it even more special.
