We offer the best Get What You Get (GWYG) tattoos in the San Diego area! Our collection features a wide range of unique, ready-to-tattoo designs.

Embrace the excitement of the unknown with our GWYG tattoos and enjoy special rates for an adventurous tattoo experience. 

What is a Get What You Get (GWYG) Tattoo?

A “Get What You Get tattoo” is exactly as it sounds. You get a tattoo that you randomly select through a game, like Plinko, roulette, or dice, or some kind of vending machine. At our shop, we have a gumball machine filled with our available designs (which can be done in color or black and gray). We prefer this approach because it lets us give a broader range of designs and a more randomized result. 

Read on for more information about our GWYG tattoo pricing and rules and see available designs.

Get What You Get (GWYG) Tattoos

How It Works: We give you a token, you put it in the machine, and out pops your GWYG tattoo design.

Pricing: Our GWYG tattoos are priced at $150 for black and gray designs and $200 for color. You can “re-spin” once for free if you don’t like the design you got. If you still want more options, you can spin three more times for $20.

Special! Mention our online deal for $30 off GWYG tattoos. Plus, enjoy an extra $30 discount Mon. through Thu.

Sizes: GWYG tattoos typically measure 3 to 4 inches in diameter, which are larger than those offered by many shops. They can be applied as small as 1 inch and can also be increased slightly in size, per your preference.

Placement: Typically, GWYG tattoos go on the torso, arms, or legs. Rates may vary for harder-to-tattoo placements.

Pick a GWYG Design: For an additional $50, you can choose a design from our GWYG tattoo options. This reflects the standard rate for flash designs at this size.

Many More Flash Tattoo Options Available

Golden Child boasts the highest-quality selection of flash tattoos available in San Diego & Escondido. Our collection includes a variety of styles, sizes, and complexities to suit any preference. In addition to GWYG tattoos (which you can make a direct pick from for an added $50), you can browse and select from 100s of other diverse designs. For those with specific tastes, our flash tattoos offer a versatile range of options to find the perfect fit.

We invite you to visit our shop to see the full range. We also encourage you to view individual artist page portfolios on our website to get a sense of their styles. You can also reach out to them directly to inquire about additional pre-made designs they may offer.

Josh did a phenomenal job piercing my 6 month olds ear. Patient, professional, hygienic, and really allowed us a safe and easy space to discuss the exact markings for her piercings. 5 months later and the piercings healed up very well.

We traveled from Arizona to Golden Child Tattoo and Piercing to have our daughter's ears pierced by Birdie and are so happy we did. Birdie is a professional who is an expert at what she does, and it is evident in her mannerism and show she manages the piercing experience. In addition, she's kind and a great communicator who explains what is going to happen throughout the process. Would 1,000% recommend her to anyone looking for piercings!
