Golden Goose Tattoo Company

5329 West 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46224

Golden Goose Tattoo Company is an appointment-only tattoo and piercing shop on Indianapolis' West Side, near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The studio was built to be an all-inclusive, artist-focused space where creativity and artist happiness come first, and every artist is LGBTQ+ and BIPOC friendly, welcoming all who walk through the door. Open Tuesday through Saturday, the shop is co-owned by Cody Blackford and Spencer Crawford, who together have shaped a collaborative, comfortable environment for clients seeking custom work.

The resident artists cover a wide creative range: black and grey illustrative and fine line work, American Traditional and Neo-Traditional designs, blackwork, and personal-art-driven pieces influenced by pastels, candy colors, animals, horror, fantasy, and nature. Several artists trained locally, including graduates of Ball State University and the Herron School of Art, and one apprenticed directly under a Golden Goose co-owner. Clients can expect bold, clean designs, playful pop-culture and humor-inspired flash, and a laid-back, collaborative approach aimed at tattoos that age well. Booking is typically handled directly through each artist's Instagram or email, keeping the process personal and artist-driven.
