Such an incredible shop. Nomi did my tattoo on my forearm. Its line work is impeccable and she has one of the lightest hands I've ever been tattooed by. Her shop is clean with such cool art all over the place. Also, she has snacks. Couldn't recommend this shop or the artists in it more. All of them are so talented, welcoming and warm. read more

Nomi you are the best!!! I love my cat tattoo, totally would send anyone looking for a great artist your way. I have had so many compliments and had to show them more on your page. I thought for sure as I am older , that it would hurt, not even a little. Just sitting there chit chatting relaxed me and I would definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend you and your partners. Everything was done very professional . Thank you for the best service. LW read more

I almost have a full sleeve created by Gavin Hayes here at Revolt tattoo. Not only is he an amazing professional, but I enjoyed just talking to him during the process. He is not heavy handed, not light, just right. Gavin and the other artists here are the best in Simi Valley, likely all of Ventura County, and they're also extremely interesting and fun people. He probably got tired of my motor mouth, but he was so kind, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations we had. As I looked around at some of the other artists work, I was impressed by everyone's style and ability. Each one is unique and sincerely gifted here. Book an appointment, and you will be more than happy with the results and their company. read more

Justin was very helpful and super pleasant with a beautiful energy. It was my first tatoo and he made me comfortable and educated me along the way. He is super talented and does beautiful shading and fine lines. I am so pleased and thankful for the wonderful care provided. read more

I've been getting tatted by Nomi since I was 18-19 so it's been roughly almost 10 years and it's been the best choice of artist I've done. From the shop to the people that work there the experience is very welcoming I love these guys! Always glad to come back and get another tat by Nome! read more

Very patient and very skilled! I have been complemented on my tattoos many times. Very good experience. My three sons referred me to Rick. Like I said very experienced. read more

I booked an apt with the co-owner Gavin for the 15th. I took the day off work only for him to tell me he accidentally double booked and that we would need to reschedule. We rebooked for the 8th at 4pm and he texted me the day of an hour before that he wouldn't be able to do the session due to a tattoo running late before me (that's two days requested off work burned). On top of all this he told me that he would sketch up my art and send me reference pictures of it before my apt date on the 8th which never came, (see attached texts). He never mentioned refunds being non-refundable when asking for it initially and then denied my request for mine back after he failed to show me my drawing and failing to make my apt. I ended up losing my $200 deposit and two days taken off work due to his lack of organization and unwillingness to do the right thing. He offered to reschedule again FOR A THIRD TIME and use the deposit as store credit. I told him that I just wanted my deposit back and no hard feelings but he denied it even though it was totally his fault. I attached some texts for proof for anyone who doesn't believe me. I was never rude or mean in any way while communicating with him and he still wouldn't return my deposit. DO NOT COME HERE!!!! HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! There's plenty of other better tattoo shops around well worth checking out instead. My recommendation is MDs tattoo studio. read more

Today I had the pleasure of being tattooed by Gavin Haynes. I brought in a rough idea of what I wanted as a memorial to my best friend. He turned it in to a masterpiece, the most beautiful work I have received. Not only is he an incredible artist, but also just a cool personality to make the time go by even better. Can't wait for even more tattoos! read more

I was referred to Nomi from a co worker of mine for tattoo. I got her number and set up a time with her. She's was really nice and helpful. I told her I wanted a sugar skull on my arm and brought in a design to work with. She made the design and had it all ready to go when I got there. She did an excellent job and after a year later I get nothing but compliments from strangers checking out my tattoo. The guys working there were all kind and professional. It's a great shop. I definitely will be giving Nomi a call soon about more tattoos. Great place here in Simi. Thank you Nomi read more

My daughter has had several tattoos done at Revolt by Riq and Nomi .. they both do awesome work so when my son kept talking about getting a tattoo I knew what I was going to give him for his birthday. I surprised him by telling him we we driving to get his present, he was confused until we pulled up in front of Revolt. He knew exactly where we were and got a big grin on his face. We met with Nomi and he explained what he envisioned, a vintage baseball girl, and she was able to draw exactly what he wanted. Last week he got his first tattoo and is so excited to show it off. Thank you so much for doing a fantastic job Nomi .. we will be back in a couple of weeks for a Mother Daughter tattoo! read more

Awesome place to get a tattoo. Josh was a cool person to get tatted from he met my expectations on my tattoo and I would forsure get my next tattoo from him read more

For my entire life I said, "I'm getting my first tattoo when I'm 45!" Well, I'm almost 46. I kind of knew what I wanted. I had a concept and about a hundred pictures and certain words. It was very a sentimental gesture to memorialize my beloved dad. A story I wanted to tell but could never get through three words without crying. So I wanted to say it with my tattoo. I went to all the tattoo artists in Simi, almost interviewing. I know it sounds weird, but I needed to connect with the artist. Not find someone who just wants s picture to copy or some jerk off who couldn't care less. So, how did I decide on what to permanently put on my body in an extremely painful way? I took my specific concept, hundred pictures and certain phrase to GAVIN at Revolt. He listened to my story, took my pictures, concept and phrase and by the following week, combined EVERYTHING into a beautiful picture that made me cry. Ok. Pictures done. Now what?? Oh! That's right. Took a bottle of Jack Daniels with me and laid down. It actually wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Almost... enjoyable, therapeutic, exciting. Maybe that was the whiskey. Either way, Gavin or his freaking GORGEOUS wife Nomi - also an AMAZING artist...you can't go wrong at Revolt. read more

Ash and Ether Art Collective - I was referred to riq so I went in to finish a sleeve I did w someone else....and riq did an amazing job. - Tattoo Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I got a tattoo 15 years ago, and hated it ever since. I'd wanted to get it covered up for years, but I was reluctant to do it, because I didn't want another tattoo that I regretted right after. When I finally decided to get it covered up, I started looking around for the tattoo artist I wanted to do it. Not that I'm snobby, but I just felt I had to click with the artist. The search went on for a few years. I meet several artists, but never found the one I wanted to draw on my skin with a tattoo gun. Then one day I saw a friend's photo on a social media site. He had a ridiculous tribal arm band tattoo covered up by Riq, and the end result was amazing!! The next week I came in to see Riq at his shop and decided on the spot that I wanted him to do my cover-up. I scheduled for the next day for the work to be done. On the day of my appointment I rolled in and he had a design he thought would look really good, and I pretty much let him do what we thought would look best. He did a free hand drawing where the tattoo was going to go, he had me look at it and he proceeded to put it on my skin. I wish I could write that it was a pain free experience, but I would be lying. Getting a tattoo does hurt, but Riq seemed to move around to different areas often to as if he was giving each area a rest. At least that's what it felt like to me. When he was all done and I looked at his work, I knew I had made the right choice by going to him. It looked amazing, and I was very happy with it!! I would highly recommend anyone looking to get a tattoo to come to Revolt and see Riq. You won't be disappointed! I am already picking out a design for my next tattoo and I am calling Riq to schedule an appointment when I decide in it. read more

Riq was suggested to me via a mutual friend and I couldn't be happier. Cordial, professional, incredibly gifted artist. Couldn't recommend anyone else. read more

Nomi and her art are amazing. This shop holds so much talent is should be a crime! Will be back for sure!

I absolutely luv Riq. He had done all my tattoos since I relocated to SoCal and I don't think I can have anyone else ink me. I'm going back today for 2 more and I am very excited. FYI: Riq has a charitable side and a big heart. read more

I myself have 2 small tattoos by Riq. However all my friends have massive peices by Riq. I send everyone to him, even my employees. His talent and eye will leave you in awe. You will not regret it...book an appointment! read more

Just got my 6th tattoo here (first time at this shop) and I can confidently say this is the best experience yet. Darren was the artist that worked with me and he was very professional, helpful, patient and kind. What made me feel most at ease and comfortable was when he said he would redo the stencil as many times as it was needed for me to feel 100% satisfied before he tattooed. He did an incredible job, lines are perfect, straight and very clean. He also gave really great advice on placement which was very helpful. I highly recommend this shop and Darren. I will definitely be coming back here for future tattoos! read more

I had such a great experience at Revolt with Riq. I was referred to him by a good friend of mine and so happy I made an appointment with him. He tattooed an important phrase on my ribcage. He has a steady light hand and is super nice and welcoming. My tattoo came out super clean and beautiful! I'm so happy with it. His shop is clean and beautifully decorated. His staff is nice and professional. Couldn't have asked for a better tattooing experience! Thanks Riq! read more

What a great place...I have been wanting an infinity tattoo to represent my kids.  I explained what I wanted to Riq and he did exactly what I imagined.  I love it! read more

RIQ is the real deal. He knows what's he's doing and he listens to what you want. Had my outline done today by him and couldn't of been happier. My 7th tattoo and finally found someone who is worth sticking with. He is awesome!! read more

I went into this place today and met with Riq and let me tell you as soon as i left the shop i knew he was going to be the one doing my tattoo. He's very friendly, in fact he even was speaking with me as he was doing someone else's tattoo. I can tell this guy cares about his costumers, he even offered for me to sit and watch him tattoo on another person. So if you want someone friendly and easy to talk to go to him. On top of that he does some pretty amazing tattoos, and the shop is really clean. Defenatly go here. read more

Came here to get my first tattoo with my girlfriend in tow about a month ago. Tattoo looks great aside from a few wiggles (I jumped from the pain of it on my collarbone since I'm a big wuss) but those were not his fault. Riq was very nice and I was able to pass the time very quickly talking to him. Great guy and I'll definitely be back for my second tattoo. read more

I'm truly lucky to have been referred to Riq. I'm lucky to know people who knew him. I finally decided to get a tattoo (my first) which I was planning for over 8 years. It required incredibly straight lines and precision work. I came in his new shop to check out his catalogue and was very impressed with his work, including his straight lines which my tattoo heavily relied on. His newly opened shop is well equipped and all supplies including needles are brand new and disposable. I manage a dental office so I can tell that the environment and the supplies were clean and sterile. Riq does amazing freehand work, but here I was asking him to do a very specific, very technical image with lots of straight lines. "No problem" he said! I emailed him the image, told him the maximum dimensions and scheduled an appointment in 3 weeks. When I came in, we made some slight modifications to the image right there on his shop computer. He printed the image, traced it and transferred the image to my shoulder. I had a different placement in mind, but boy am I glad I trusted him entirely with the placement of the tattoo. Just 45 minutes later, I was done. His hand is THAT steady and he is THAT good. It could not have turned out better. He is one of the most professional people I've ever dealt with and a really nice guy to boot. I'm truly grateful for his amazing work and I'm already getting used to being complimented on just how nice my tattoo is. You can bet your house that should I decide to do another tattoo he will be the guy I seek. Thanks Riq!!! read more

I'm so glad my friend referred me to bloodlust. After work one day i got the biggest urge to get a tattoo that i've been wanting for a while. I spoke to Darren, one of the artists, and described to him what i was wanting. Other shops i had been talking to told me what i wanted would cost me about $100 even though every last one of them told me that it wouldnt take long at all to do. Darren told me he would do it for $75 and then informed me that they closed at 7:30pm that night so i rushed over as fast as i could because it was already 6:45 pm. When I arrived I was instantly greeted with a big smile and i could tell he was excited to get started. Its so refreshing to see someone who loves what they do as much as he did. I showed him a picture of what i wanted, with minor changes, and we got started. After the stencil, setting up the machines, and everything to artists do to get set up, he only took about 30 minutes to do my tattoo and made sure that i was absolutely in love before I left the store. And let me say Darren, i LOVVEEEEEE it. Bigger stores normally are busy and somewhat short with their customers. I have never had such amazing quality of customer service. I will defiantly be returning to get my other tattoos done by Darren. :) read more

I was referred to Riq through a couple of my clients after my endless search for an awesome tattoo artist in the area .. I had seen Riq's work on them before I decided to go see him and was very impressed with what I saw. Once I got to meet Riq there was no question that my search was over. The time that Riq takes to truly listen to what I want and talk about placement and color options etc is always so refreshing compared to other artists I've encountered that are quick to do whatever they want and not really hear what YOU want. When your getting tattooed by Riq you can see his passion as an artist and I've never felt more comfortable with a tattoo artist ever (i have 5 other tattoos I have from previous artists) than I do with him. I've had 4 tattoos done previously by him and I'm currently working on a sleeve tattoo with Riq and I couldn't be happier with how it's coming out. I anticipate my upcoming sessions like a trip to Disneyland. I HIGHLY recommend trying out Riq I promise you won't be disappointed!!! read more

It's my first time going here, but I have an appointment with artist Gavin Hayes and I could never say enough good things about him. I've had all my previous tattoos done by him and I always recommend him without any hesitation to everyone I know. So if he works at this shop, then I already like it and know it must be good! I'm bringing my friend here tonight and we're both getting new tattoos, of course done by Gavin. Not only is he a fabulous artist, he's kind, personable and treats you with respect. He takes his time making sure that your tattoo is exactly how you want it and he puts care into every detail. When he's working on your tattoo, it's clear that he's completely focused and all of his attention is on the beautiful piece of art that he's creating for you. The unique piece of art that you will carry with you forever. If I'm going to give anyone the huge amount of trust of letting them draw something on me that will be there forever, there's no doubt I'm going to give it to Gavin. I feel so grateful to have found such a wonderful artist. I won't go to anyone else! read more

Hands down Riq is the best artist in the business. His eye for detail and creativity is like no other. He is very passionate about what he does and always puts 200% into it. If you are looking for quality, passion, talent, dedication, hard work, compassion, laughter and someone to "get you through the pain" go see Riq. He is the shiznet! I will never go anywhere else! read more

Gavin did a great job from start to finish. He really captured what I was looking for. I would go back again anytime!

Riq is an amazingly talented and considerate artist and I will never again let anyone else tattoo me! When I had my initial consult with him, he came across as caring and was interested in my vision as well as explaining how his vision could blend with my own (he didn't try to overtake my vision with his own). He did a full sleeve on my arm and had to work around some existing tats and did it with such flair and skill that it all blends seamlessly and looks beautiful. If you've ever had your upper arm (inside and by the armpit) and 'the ditch' worked on, you know how much it freakin' hurts...Riq somehow managed to keep me laughing while working on those areas, caring about my comfort and experience as a whole. The bottom line is this...Riq is everything you want in someone creating permanent art on you and more. And like everyone else said, ask about the goat! read more

Really good tattoos for good prices. Riq is an awesome guy and is super friendly and hilarious. Works fast and gives you exactly what you want with your tattoo whatever it is. Definitely highly recommend him! read more

Riq fixed and added to a peice on my arm and I am very happy with it. He was super fast and super steady. His line work is great! He is very creative. Just referred my boyfriend to him as well and will be going back for my shoulder peice soon. read more
