    Celebrated my birthday getting a tattoo customized a scorpion with a chrysanthemum stinger. Decided to come back and get a Rose behind my ear to honor my mom and grandma. The artist Jareth did an incredible job. He was able to tattoo not only me but my partner and friend. Place is smaller with intimate vibe. Staff was welcoming and fun.

    Great little shop in the Village in Big Bear. My daughter got a diabetes awareness tattoo for her 18th birthday and Jareth was awesome. Would definitely do another piece here!

    There absolutely amazing and professional. Thank you for the great experience and I will definitely be going back. I don't know how to spell my tattoo artists name but he was really good with an easy had

    I wanted the picture in the middle but the final results was disappointing. Top is all messed up, lines aren't good and so much more that I didn't like about it. Getting it fixed once it's healed by someone that does line art. $200 for this and small stars behind my ear which was also bad work

    Bill Carlson at Big Bear Tattoo is an absolute legend! Got multiple tattoos done over the past couple years, always a pleasure and healed perfectly. This the spot for tattoos in big bear.

    So my husband and I came up to big bear for our honeymoon. I've been wanting a tattoo for the longest time after my grandmother passed away and my husband wanted to bring me the place where he got his first tattoo. It was just meant to be. We walked in and everyone was welcoming and chill. We got introduced to Kyrie and fell in love with his work instantly. For my first tattoo I was definitely nervous but Kyrie was confident and I'm so beyond happy with the results! Thanks again to all the guys at the shop for making my first time experience FUCKIN AWSOME! Thanks again to Kyrie for your incredible work on my first and defense not last art piece.

    I got a tattoo from Huck. I provided an image with customization requests. Huck not only designed my custom areas superbly but his application style was fantastic. Will return for more.

    My husband and I had the most amazing experience with Bill! He worked with us and made sure we got exactly what we wanted in our tattoos! We are from out of town and he worked us in and did amazing work! I definitely recommend stopping by to get some work done, you'll have an awesome time and leave with some sick art!

    Amazing work by Rus! I'm so happy with the outcome of this work, more to come. Thank you Rus!

    This is only my second ever tattoo but I don't know if any other place will top the experience I…read morehad from getting tattooed by Roman. The man is an absolute beast of an artist, with over two decades of experience under his belt. He's tattooed high profile celebrities like rappers and football players so yes he is pricey, but it is worth every single penny. So much so that I flew all the way from Baltimore to go see him (no regrets at all). Roman specializes in realism and biomechanical pieces, so if you like either of those styles (or both), he's the guy you want. Aside from being an amazing tattoo artist, he is also a super chill guy and a caring father to his kids. When I got to the studio I was instantly treated like a star. His wife Kaitlyn is super lovely and one of the most amazing hosts ever. She helps Roman out while he works and makes sure his clients are comfortable and well fed. When I had my second session for my sleeve I was feeling very under the weather and she would make me hot tea and even fetched a blanket for me. These people really make you feel like home. On both my days there they fed me lunch/dinner and supplied snacks and beverages too. The aesthetics in the studio is a site to behold as well, especially if you like HR Giger art or anything biomechanical related. I look forward to finishing up my tattoo with Roman. If you want a sick realistic biomechanical piece, hit him up when you're around San Bernardino!

    Chloe is amazing! I called to make an appt and was able to…read moreget a tattoo within an hr! Chloe was vey helpful and walked me through the whole process. I got a white tattoo and she made sure I knew I would eventually fade which is fine with me. She was very nice and accommodating when I asked her to redo the stencil a bunch of times! The tattoo shop was very clean with music playing in the background. I would definitely come back here for my next tattoo! Don't forget to bring cash when you come!

    My wife and I were walk-ins on a Friday and Josh was super nice! It was my wife's first tattoo and…read morehe was really flexible on placement and design. He was patient on adding or removing things from the design and didn't push for anything, but was honest about if something may not work well. She had a great time and wants to go back for another. He wasn't able to do mine that day because he wanted to put more time into and I was super impressed with the honesty and enthusiasm he had for the idea. He added in so much more than I thought and I love it! I've had other tattoos but this was the longest sitting I've done and my largest. He gave breaks, checked in, and explained what step he was at, at every check in. For the details on workspace and cost: very clean environment, adherence to keeping things sanitized (couldn't give my wife a high five because he'd put on the gloves but gave an elbow bump in solidarity), and good, transparent pricing. There were no sudden switch ups in price and front desk service was excellent. I came in on a pretty slow day and everyone there was super nice. Excellent vibes and just a great experience. Will be going back!
