Booked a two day appointment with Gabe. Flying from Mass to Houston. Last minute gifted second day to my assistant, Gabe was so accommodating. Thus, couldn’t get my full half sleeve done. Asked Gabe, recommend anyone to wrap me up?! Drew who is also booked till who the hell knows when and was wrapping up a scheduled appointment has no hesitation to colab and hooks me up with an equally beautiful tattoo!!Dope tattoos, sweet, friendly atmosphere and caring ARTISTS!! Couldn’t be happier with our experience

Friendly artists. Good mix of music to listen to while getting tatted.

Was told the night before what I wanted could be done as a walk in. Walked in the next day (11:30am) was told everyone was booked.The young lady talking to me however was very polite.Dont believe when you are told you can walk in.

Got tattooed by Brynne a couple of weeks ago and had such a great experience! Brynne was able to work with my idea, and the tattoo design came out WAY BETTER than I could have dreamt. I felt super comfortable and taken care of in the shop. Didn’t catch her name but the front desk/apprentice gal was super nice. Brynne was absolutely amazing to work with, and I hope to get more work done by her in the future. Lots and lots of talented folks here. Highly recommend!

All of the artists are amazing! Joel Bones is (by far) my favorite! But whomever you pick for your type of style- You WILL NOT be disappointed!

Thanks for the amazing work Travis! Definitely will be referring you to all my people. See you again soon.

Cat whispering in your ear with a halo

I got a tattoo done by Brynne today and it is AMAZING. Like the exact thing I wanted was what I got. She works clean and fast and shes super nice. I wish I was rich so I could just keep getting tatted by her. Its my first color piece and the colors look so pretty and the linework and shading is on point.A side note about the shop. While I was getting my tattoo, I was one of four people in the shop that I could see and three were women. I just thought that was cool. Unlike some other shops, everyone is nice, respectful, and friendly. No creepy weirdos here!Thank you Brynne for an awesome tattoo and thank you Gold Rush for being good people!

This place was so dope, they we’re extremely clean, friendly and patient with my friends and I. Justin did my tattoo and I LOVE it i stare at it every day so happy he helped with exactly what I wanted!

Great staff and very friendly was a little nervous because it was my first time but justin did a awesome job definitely will be back for other tattoos oh and the place was clean and sterile.

Got this awesome piece done by Justin Cochran, hes such an awesome guy and an absolute pleasure to work with. Definitely coming back!

Greg has done awesome work for me and the team is always friendly and awesome !!! 5 stars !!!

Awesome experience Greg is amazing and does great art work !

My first experience here was with Brynne. She did a cover up for me and exceeded my expectations. She was really gentle. I was so nervous initially because my original tattoo hurt really bad when I first got it and there was so much scarring over it. But coming here and having Brynne cover it up, it didn’t hurt as much- even on my scars! The quality of the tattoo is really great too. I’m so happy with the outcome. I’ll definitely be coming back for more tattoos.

I needed color added to an old tattoo. Brynne did an amazing job. The color is gorgeous, plus she added a little extra to make it pop even more. The shop was clean, I felt comfortable and I was in and out efficiently.I would highly recommend Brynne and Goldrush Tattoo.

Thank you, Bones for the amazing art work. I appreciate all of your professionalism and how great it turned out. Better than I could have asked for! The shop folks are all amazing and it was so clean! I will be back and cant wait to get my next piece planned out. Thank you again. Gold Rush - you rock. Bones is amazing!

Mikey is great, takes artistic liberty only after asking and respects your desires to change or not to change... clean and well kept studio, this is my second tattoo by Mikey, if I get another it will be by him again. Highly recommended Mikey and Gold Rush

First time coming here at Good Rush Tattoo and boy was i amazed the place is nice the waiting room is Small but thats alright. I got 2 tattoos one on each arm of some Anime Characters. The tattooing area is filled with Nice vibes all of sort. The smell of The place does smell like Marijuana but theres a smoke shop rigjt underneath the place and i gave that a plus i love the smell sort of a Calming smell in my opinion. Got my Art work Done by the one and only (Nick) he did a very outstanding performance with the Art he was very professional at all times got the Job done and I couldnt be any more happy with it. Ill deffinently be coming back to That place very soon for some more Tattoos. (Shout-out to Nick ) You killed it 🔥

Justin was awesome! I rolled in there 30 minutes before they closed and he banged out a sweet tattoo for me. He was very talkative and we had a great time just chatting. Everyone there was super nice and professional and the place was really clean. I just moved here from South Carolina and will definitely be back. So happy its so close to my new place!

Awesome work! 10/10

This shop is the #1 shop in Orange County. I have been getting tattooed by Joel Bones for 20+ years. His professional attitude and attention to detail is on Point! This entire shop is filled with polite and professional Artists. The atmosphere is friendly and fun, i have visited this shop since it opened and have NEVER been to a shop so well rounded. All my close friends and family come here for all their tattoos. Keep up all your Outstanding Work Gold Rush, you are the Best!

Walked upstairs to Gold Rush Tattoo and was really impressed from the get go. This shop really understands how to craft a whole experience and keep a clean shop. Their artists are all top notch with strengths in different styles of tattoo work and the entire place has a fun and professional environment. Other shops Ive been to have that were just starting out vibe or that shop on the corner vibe and Gold Rush definitely looks like its been Established Since 2006. I got work done by Colin who is at the top of his game yet he remains friendly and approachable. I looked through everyones books in the waiting area and truly was blown away by what each tattooer had to offer. Will definitely be back to Gold Rush.

Great experience at Gold Rush! Everyone was super friendly. Justin did my tattoo, he was really professional and I love how it came out! I would highly recommend him

Just turned 70 and gave myself a BD present. My first tattoo. Got an appointment with Marc Jackson. He was ready for me with my art work when I arrived.It was exactly what I wanted. ( a dragon with a small wizard. ) He was very professional and made sure I was comfortable with the procedure. Did an awesome job. Very pleased with the total experienceThe shop is super clean and the staff is very friendlyGold Rush Tattoo. Your the best.

This is the ONLY shop I go to when I want a piece done. Everyone that works here is extremely professional, talented, and kind. My first piece was a monster and took 7 hours to complete; Colin was my artist and I asked him to make the concept idea I had his own, and he blew it out of the park! Wonderful artist. I had Joel do a small rib piece for me, and Brynn recently did a forearm floral walk-in tat for me. Everyone Ive worked with has been unbelievably wonderful to me. The facility is super clean too. A good tattoo doesnt come cheap, no matter how small, but the pricing here is super fair! Not exactly cheap, but youre not being insanely overcharged. If you go to any shop expecting super cheap prices, then youll end up with a super cheap tattoo. I recommend this place to anyone that asks for a tat shop!

Brynne is great. Ive got 8 tattoos from her and every single one is well done, beautiful, and she has a light hand compared to other artists Ive been to. Shes also super sweet and fun to talk to, which can make the whole process a LOT easier to sit through.Gold Rush is very clean and well-kept. Ive heard great things about the other artists, too. Well worth the cost!

I have gotten two tattoos at Gold Rush by Nick Macaulay. The work on both tattoos is excellent. Nick was extremely helpful with the correct placement and takes pride in his work. I have received so many compliments on my tattoos from Gold Rush.The shop is clean and everyone I had the pleasure to speak with was professional and helpful. I will be going back to Gold Rush for more work.

It was a great experience to have my tattoo worked by Joel Bone. Joel was great and his work was awesome. I will come back for my next tattoo when I am ready for another one. Thanks Joel

My sister and I went in and was met by Brynne who was super nice from start to finish. My sister had found her on IG and wanted to meet with her. She was professional yet easy to talk to and gave her professional opinion without shooting down ideas rudely which you get sometimes other places. She ended up working on my sister and it turned out amazing. (No pic sorry) simply to save on time I asked if someone else was available to work on mine since it was just some text and thankfully Marc was available. He was equally kind and professional. He drew up exactly the font I wanted, we were done pretty quickly and I turned out perfect. I got my first shop tattoo at Gold Rush 10 years ago when I was 18 and have been impressed yet again after all this time. Thank you Brynne and Marc. I will definitely send friends and family and will surely be back myself.

Ive been wanting to get another tattoo for a while so a few years ago I spent a lot of time researching the best shop and artist in OC. Gold Rush Tattoo and Joel were at the top of my list. At the time I was unable to get a tattoo for personal reasons. A few years later I did extensive research again and came to the same conclusion. I finally got my tattoo at Gold Rush Tattoo with Joel and I LOVE IT! The staff at the shop is very friendly and knowledgeable. It was easy to make an appointment and they answered all of my questions. Joel is the best tattoo artist I’ve come across. He has many years of experience and knows his craft. He loves what he does. My tattoo took about five to six hours and I was watching him work the entire time. This was my first color tattoo and I was fascinated about the process and color application. My tattoo healed really well and its amazing. I wont go to any other artist and Ive already recommended Joel to my family and friends. I constantly get compliments on my tattoo; and even people who dont like any tattoos said that its beautiful. I cant wait to get another tattoo done by Joel. I highly recommend Gold Rush Tattoo, especially Joel.

Justin rocks! He was super friendly and really helpful with design/sizing/placement. Great shop with awesome energy. Totally professional and non-judgmental.

Greg and Justin are amazing. Easily my best tattoos and I think I found my new home parlor :)

Brynne is by far the best tattoo artist in and around this area. She will not disapoint.

Mikey rocked my EGA today. Great service, good people and clean environment. Recommend to anyone looking for quality work.

Theyre compliant with CA laws...... Well come back when my daughter turns 18. Wouldnt trust any other place to do something so permanent!

I was having severe problems with voltage drift and inconsistencies with the power from my other power supplies, from other supposed leading brands. I reached out to these guys after researching and they were very friendly and helpful. I purchased the Gunslinger DC power supply and my tattoo machines have never ran so smooth and consistent. Highly recommended if you are serious about having your tattoo machines run to their highest capabilities.

I want to thank Gold Rush the whole establishment is great very relaxed atmosphere and special thanks to Brynne Palmer for the perfect Woodstock tattoo it is better than I could’ve imagined she was kind enough to come in on her day off to do the tattoo she is a great artist and made it a enjoyable experience Thanks Brynne and the whole staff at Gold Rush

Worked with MarcI had an idea what I wanted. He helped me clarify the details. Reasonable prices, outstanding work, great attitudes and super friendly artists. I will be back for the final workThanks Marc and Goldrush for an excellent experience.

Great studio , I did a walk in based on the yelp reviews. Nick did awesome work creating and putting down my design. Super professional, clean studio

Gone to this shop twice so far for a large piece (arm sleeve). Two appointments so far, with more to come. Tattoo is incredible - the best quality of any I have. The people are awesome, shop is clean, well lit, sterile; very friendly and helpful. 10/10 will go back again and again.

What an awesome shop. Traveled from Philadelphia to get tattooed here. Greatly exceeded my expectations.

Got a piece on my ribs by Brynne. Looks amazing, the shop costs a little more than normal places but the quality shows well worth the extra spent. If your looking to get some work done Gold Rush is a good spot, give the artist some creative license and you wont regret it.

Pretty sseedYstaff ended upnnot getting my first tattoo because of walking into rhiabplace and SRILL am afraid to get one. Honestly I think they should have their hygiene checked big time I was quite worried about Contracting some kind of disease even being in the building and I want to get a tattoo this would have been my first one sending me so nervous about it that now I still dont have one in this was like a month ago!

Awesome job by Marc! Check my review on Yelp!

Quality and professional. Colin has done all my work and is going to get more. I took my son down to get his first tattoo because I know it’s going to be a work of art. Only place I’ll go !

Marc was great, super quick and affordable! I love my design!

I have been getting tattooed from Joel Bones since a year ago. Im planning to get full sleeves with him. I referred all my friends to Gold Rush tattoo.

Extremely clean shop, very professional and well rounded staff, fantastic work done by Greg Spellman, great overall experience. Highly recommend this establishment.

Greg was great. He listened to my design ideas, did not show any emotions when I nixed his initial design and put on a great tattoo that I am proud to wear forever.

Walked in, got inked and walked out a happy chappy.Got exactly what I wanted, completely hassle free!Thanks Mike and thanks to the rest of the staff as well!

Aaron was my artist and i wished he lived near me so he could be my go to guy. i was visiting from washington and decided to get a tattoo to remember my trip. i just wanted a lil elephant on my finger but instead Aaron drew an awesome elephant head to be placed on my arm. not only was i happy with my tattoo but with the experience the guys there definitely made me comfortable and were very welcoming! if your in the costa mesa area and need some ink done. GOLD RUSH is the place to go!! Aaron was awesome and so was the rest of the crew!! until next time!

Asked if they could tattoo me and guy said yes and that he was gonna tattoo someone really quick. I came back 15 mins later and they locked me out. Could have just have said no. Duche!

I had a very positive and pleasant experience, for my first tattoo ever, in 2014. I hope that for my second tattoo i can make it again to the Gold Rush.

Inked twice there myself. Clean and a great crew of artists.

I called to ask about prices and what time they closed and whoever answered the phone hung up on me? I guess my normal questions were offensive or something. I obviously will not be getting anything done at this shop. Why would I want someone with an attitude problem tattooing my body?

Great work done by Joel Bones. He will not tell you his real name.

Greg Spellman is the best. ♥️♥️♥️

Me and my wife just got a tattoo done here just sper the moment their services was great the only down side was that we did not get tattoo from the same artis but over it was great.

Great Place, amazing talent....Than you Bren, off the hook TAT!!!!

Joel is amazing!!! Couldnt be happier.

My first tattoo. I was so nervous but this place rocks. Ready for another. See you soon!

Got work done by Joel Bones, go to him.

Amazing tattoos

Best shop in Newport!

Lindsey Carmichael is the best !!!!

Go Bucky!
