If anyone is looking for a shop this is the one to go to. Just got a half sleeve done yesterday and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. My artist Richie did an amazing job. And all the other artists are just as good. Highly recommend this shop and will be going there for all my future tattoos read more

I almost never write a 5 star review. Sunny who is new did a nice memorial piece which came out alright. A tiny hiccup on the dates but was an easy fix since changing a seven to a nine is somewhat doable without being too noticeable. The entire AE family are very friendly and the studio is a work of art in its own right. I recommend saving enough canvass to try out each of the artists there. Pricing seemed fair for what was done. Thanx guys! read more

See all

Ok 2 5 reviews in one Roman did an amazing job on my hubby's piece !! See for yourself on his instragram. Captain spaulding!! Cholo was super fast and sterile for my piercings 2 dermals and tongue. read more

Glenn is doing my husbands tattoo. He is very detail oriented. He is nice, polite, professional. He comes up with amazing art. He attention to detail is worth his wait. Has to be the best tattoo place in southern California. You walk in and you want to get a tattoo done there. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Cholo has done my piercings in the past and he is very good. The place is so clean. I would definitely go here if you want QUALITY. read more

Went to Brittney and I'm never been disappointed. I've been getting tattooed by her and every time her work gets better and better. Her pricing is very reasonable for great work. I'm ready to make my next appointment. The shop is very welcoming environment and chill and has beautiful design inside. The artist all work well with each and make the whole experience very memorable. read more

This is a great tattoo shop. Had a tattoo down a couple months ago; healed up and looks great. I have multiple tattoo and they one I got done here was hands down the best experience. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. 10/10 recommend read more

Went to get a patriotic tattoo. I spoke with an artist and I looked at his work and he had done a badass patriotic tattoo and that was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't get that type of detail or artistry. I didn't get the feeling that the artist really was feeling tattooing that day. I wish he would have rescheduled another day when he was more into it. I find it extremely unprofessional and just wrong to give someone a bad tattoo. It looks like it was done with a marker. When I went to talk to the artist for a touch up I got the impression that I was bothering him. This thing cannot be fixed and now I'm stuck with an expensive bad tattoo. read more

The whole shop makes you feel so welcomed and I have never had a more lovely experience. Cholo is one of a kind. And all of the artists are so nice and professional. Thank you all! read more

I came here for my first piercing today. the inside is very cool and they're very welcoming. i got an appointment w/ Cholo and he's so nice! he went through the process with me for my belly button piercing, also the care for it. i definitely recommend coming here for piercings! Cholo really cares for his customers! read more

Omg if you are looking for an amazing and talented bunch of artist that truly take pride in what they do then his is your place. We've been coming her for the last 4 years Richie is our man!! He's done almost my whole family's tattoos. This shop is 100% amazing and you for sure get what you pay for. I wouldn't trust anyone else but these guys to do not only my tattoo work but also my piercings. Their lines are so clean and the creativity is amazing. read more

Artistic Element Tattoo - Tattoo Near Me - Yucaipa, California

Richie did mine and my boyfriend's tattoos. We both couldn't be happier. We plan to have him foamy more of them. The entire place is so clean, the staff is so friendly, just an all around awesome place. read more

Goldmine of amazing artist! I've been tattooed and pierced here throughout the years. I've recommended this place to my family, friends and even strangers too. I love the atmosphere, the artists are so talented, clean, funny, and you can tell they love what they do. I especially love the work of Sam Enriquez, Cholo, Jeff Seeds and Roman. I always feel so comfortable, I KNOW I'm getting quality work and I always leave happy. Worth every penny and more read more

I had a few tattoos done by artists at Artistic Element. I can't go into detail about who did my last tattoo but I wrote a complaint to the owner and in turn received multiple page long emails from the artist who tattooed me threatening to sue me if I went to the Better Business Bureau or if I left a review on this website mentioning their name. I was also told by said artist that because I signed the Waiver BEFORE I was tattooed, basically nothing that happens while I am being tattooed matters. I was insulted over and over again by this artist and emailed the owner thinking he would have said artist stop emailing me but they continued. If you don't see any other complaints on here maybe it is because they threaten to sue you if you do so, I don't know. I just know my own case. I wish I could tell you about the quality or who did my tattoo and what happened but they claim that to write a true heart felt complaint is slander, amongst other things. Best of luck to anyone who goes here. I hope you don't receive the treatment I have. read more

The staff is always very friendly and inviting at Artistic Element. I've gone twice to get piercings from Cholo and he is fantastic. He is very professional and makes you feel comfortable while getting pierced. I wouldn't go anywhere else to get a piercing done. read more

Well well where to began? Let's start off with how Roman had called me the day before asking me "what I wanted to get? " * even tho I had told him about 3 times what I wanted., so I had told him what I wanted to get again & then he said "okay but it's going to be this price now" which was wayy more then what he had first told me & this going back to 3 years ago. read more

I wouldn't recommend 1 employee at this place, there's an artist who quoted me 100$ an hour for a 4 hour tattoo ink to skin session but on appointment day when he "finished" end of tattoo made me pay 500$ for just 3 and 1/2 hours of actual tattooing. In addition they failed to complete all work agreed to when we made the appointment. Not a professional way to conduct business. read more

Cholo has pierced my belly button and my tragus, and he did my industrial. He always opens the needles in front of you and explains the process, and shows you how to do the aftercare. His work is amazing, and it's always virtually painless. He is the only one I will trust with any of my piercings, and everyone in the shop is always friendly when I go in. Their new shop is super clean, and I feel 100% comfortable in there :) read more

The man that does the piercings is absolutely so rude and totally blew my daughter and I off along with talking shit on us to his coworkers right after he walked away and didn't help us when we just wanted a simple piercing! Along with that this place smelt like weed but my daughter really wanted to get her nose done so she called later in the day to go get it done and he said "he didn't feel like doing any more piercings" what I don't understand is how can someone have a job but when business comes around they just don't feel like it! Absolutely ridiculous do not come to this place which is not kid friendly any way possible! read more

I was just tattooed by Kali yesterday. This place is freaking amazing. The shop alone lets you know that they mean business. I had to wait a little over a month for my appointment and it is a little on the pricier side but you get what you pay for. I wanted to update a traditional rose on my back. Kali made it look like a different tattoo and added his own touch to it and I love it!! If I ever decide to get more tattoos, I will go back to him. Great staff, Kali is so sweet... it was an amazing experience all around. I am finally happy with my tattoo. Thank you, thank you Kali!! read more

I was tatted by Kali about a year ago. He is a great artist and I will be going back to him for the next one. The shop itself is cool and everyone in there makes you feel like you're supposed to be there. I have been to many tattoo shops and got that feeling like I wasn't wanted. Never the case here. Everyone is friendly, funny and down to earth. I highly recommend Kali for a tattoo if you are looking for a good artist. With that said, the old saying goes here, "you get what you pay for". So expect at least $125 an hour, but it is well worth it for a permanent art collection...On a final note, I also booked an appointment and it was cancelled twice. It bothered me, but not enough to stay away. read more

I've come here for all of my tattoos & piercings (cholo does the piercings) Zac_ryan is typically who I go to for tattoos, he's very friendly and an amazing artist. Come here if you ever need work done. Everyone in the shop is very nice & the shop is always very clean. read more

Went in yesterday to get my septum re-pierced by Cholo. When I first got it pierced it was at another place and it was done wrong. He talked me through it and of course it hurt especially going through scar tissue but I'm really happy with how it came out. My piercing is now straight and he made sure to educate me on keeping it clean. The shop overall is very clean and everyone in there are super cool. I definitely recommend anyone looking for a piercing to go to cholo! read more

AE is a powerhouse of talent! I came in with a Bad tattoo job & a lot of questions. The staff is incredible. The shop design gives you a sample of the creativity of the artists there. Not to mention it's the cleanest one that I have ever been to. It seems like we were able to meet and talk with each of the artists. Every question that we could throw out there was answered to my satisfaction. Poch took on the challenge and hooked me up with an amazing, vibrant and masterful art piece. I love it! I will definitely be going back for more. I would recommend everyone to consider this shop as the ultimate tattooing & piercing experience. read more

Amazing Shop ! I just finished my second session with wes and I absolutely love my sleeve he is a amazing artist and awesome guy and cant wait for my next session. The shop is clean and has an awesome atmosphere making you feel comfortable and professional. All the and crew are all welcoming and make you feel right at home and do the best work I recommend this shop to anyone looking to be tattooed or pierced. read more

I contemplated for a while to get a cover up done just because I hate pain and nervous about how skilled the tattoo artist is. The moment I met Richie he was very professional, courteous, and attentive to what I was trying to achieve. This is a skill people! He was great enough to give his opinion on what would work and what wouldn't and what can be done to still get what you want. The whole time I was there he kept me talking and calm and at times laughing to get my mind off the pain. These guys there are so talented and professional. You do pay for quality and they take their work seriously. If I ever decide to get another tattoo this is the place I will definitely come to. Don't look any further stop by and speak to them. read more

SUCH A HUGE FAN OF SUNNYS WORK!! He used to tattoo down in the Coachella Valley and when I heard he moved up here I was totally bummed ! He is THE ONLY PERSON I TRUST TO TATTOO ME! I live about an hour away and I drove to get tattooed by him again. I really wanted a Mandala ! He made it look so sick! I sat down with him and he drew it up in front of me. He is such a chill guy and his work is just amazing! He's incredible at Mandalas and dot work! I won't go to anyone besides sunny. I will for sure be posting a pic of my tattoo when it's healed ! Make sure to follow him on Social media! He posts a lot of his work! I'm already thinking about my next tattoo for him !! read more

I came here last week to get my nipples pierced. Cholo was amazing. So respectful and professional. I was a little nervous, of course. He made me feel calm. It was a great expierience. I would definitely recommend him. I'm in love with my new piercings! Exactly what I wanted. read more

Cholo did my industrial and tragus at the same time and gave me a good price. He is so talented and I felt little pain. I went to another place to get my nose done and he was horrible. So Cholo is my number one when it comes to a person I can trust to do a good job. Place is clean and well kept Cholo has a room in the back for the piercings. Overall great experience! read more

What a great location and tattoo shop. I love the steam punk motif and the creativity they used to make it. I had a very unique experience here and the short story is I met Roman and the rest of the gang at AET. I had no idea who he was, other than just a really nice guy tatted from head to toe with the mohawk. I got my second tattoo ever. Excellent prep and procedure. Very unique tattoo needle machine. Great time and experience. Highly recommend. read more

Well lit and open interior. Nicely steampunked out. Lots of people. Seems to be pretty family friendly! Above all else CLEAN!! Pretty cool spot!! I'm not from these parts but I'm certainly recommending it since I live here now. I will definitely be returning for MORE!!! read more

Sunny is a great artist who was patient with me in bringing my tattoo to life. He also did and outstanding job at accommodating me and making sure I was comfortable the whole time. During the length of my tattoo he was talkative with me which was comforting but when I wanted to doze off he gave me something to rest my head on comfortably. All in all he's a dope artist who is pretty reasonable!! I've also come here to get my belly button and my industrial pierced by cholo-- and will soon be doing my nose. Each time was amazing, cholo has a great energy and always helps me feel comfortable before a piercing. He and sunny answered my endless questions when it came to my piercings and tattoos-- care, healing, etc. overall my experience with these two artists is always a great time! read more

This is the best shop in the inland empire for sure! Everyone is extremely professional -- even when you call the shop, they're extremely kind and helpful. Cholo is a GREAT piercer and he makes you feel right at home. It's very sanitary and the shop is very well decorated. I've gotten 3 piercings and a small tattoo there and I'm definitely going to come back for more. read more

Some of the best work i have seen comes from roman a++++++ besides being a humble guy he loves ice cream sandwiches lol

Ronan does high quality. The artists that hold chairs in this shop are held to high standards by the owner and themselves. This is a five star shop. Without the five star attitude. Great people, phenomenal work. If you are looking for the kind of work that is awe inspiring, this is the place. If your looking for a simple cheap memento to glance at from time to time, your choices are limitless. If you take your art/life serious, this is the place. You pay for what you get. I'll pay for an artists hand that is dedicated to their, as I am to making it part of me. read more

The crew over at artistic element are very welcoming and professional, best shop and work I've ever had. You get what you Pay for is an Old saying, and at artístic element these guys are top grade artist. It's gonna be on you forever so might as well pay the extra hundred or two and have exactly what you want plus more read more

I agree with everyone on this page about how amazing this shop is. I was very skeptical because it is a small shop in my home town and that just didn't seem right. Yet I saw work that my friend Ally received from Kali and it looked awesome. So I made an appointment for a cover up and fix of a tattoo I already had from a friend's husband. I wasn't used to the cost of professional tattoos, I had 6 already, but it was well worth it!! I went back for #7, a tribute to my daughter and I recieve so many compliments on the work. My lions are the best work I have and can't wait to add more to them. I love the atmosphere. It's homey yet professional. Everyone there is down to earth and not judemental. Even after sitting for 4 hours getting work done they make sure you're ok and are handling it!! I would recommend them over and over and can't wait to make another appointment!! read more

Love this tattoo shop ! Everyone one is cool and they treat you like a friend. Definitely recommend anyone who wants a piercing go to CHOLO he is a really good piercer and he cares for his clients! As for tattoos everyone's work is good ! My friend got a rose by Richie and it's beautiful she loves it I highly recommend this shop they keep everything clean and the vibe is just chill and welcoming you won't feel out of place! read more

Apparently Roman, the young and kind owner, is quite well-known in the tattoo world, but I didn't come for him - I came because my second-oldest friend married (uber talented and professional) Tony, who had a guest spot working at Artistic Element last weekend. It's hard to get an appointment with Tony in our hometown, so I traveled the 85 miles from Venice to Yucaipa to get the tattoo I've always wanted (an ocotillo in bloom going up my left calf). I can't review Tony because you won't be seeing him at this tattoo studio, but I can speak for the location: it's quite clean, and the other artists were busy and talented and funny. Prices are good. Front lounging area features a comfy black couch and a nice television playing decent films. Artists' equipment is up to date, though the chairs upon which clients sit while getting worked on are a bit wobbly and thus disconcerting. I'm truly happy with my new tattoo and it's healing up nicely. I guess I'd recommend this studio to someone who lives closer and seeks a talented tattooist or piercer. read more

My underage daughter has been pierced twice now without parental consent. I am going to go and speak with Cholo and Roman but this is unacceptable. She also had friends with her that got pierced as well without consent. I am extremely upset. read more

Got my nose pierced to day by Cholo and I couldn't be more happy ,he was very professional and nice ,the shop is awesome and very clean ,loved it and I will be going back read more
