    Birds of paradise
    Leslie F.

    I love Black Anchor Tattoo. They have the best Tattoo Artist. My most recent Tattoo was with Henry Ruiz AKA "Selfcultured" on Instagram. I highly recommend him, he was able to create what I had in mind and added a touch of color. I went with birds of paradise and I am completely in love with it. Henry was nice enough to answer all my questions with the tattoo aftercare and to see how I was feeling. I plan on going back and adding more to my arm. Thank you Black Anchor Collective for hiring the best Tattoo Artist.

    I had a great experience here! Joe was awesome to work with; he took his time with my tattoo and I'm defiantly going back. I love his work! Very clean shop and polite staff

    I called the day of and was able to get tattooed by Joe who was amazing! My father recently passed away and I wanted the last words to be tattooed on my wrist in his handwriting. I showed up with a notebook of my dads writing and joe did his magic! It literally looks like my dad wrote it on me him self! I also had the opportunity to meet Nikko Hurtado! He was casually there, I mean he does own the place but he and Joe were both so kind and humble! I had a total fan girl moment and asked for a pic and Nikko and Joe didn't hesitate! Such an amazing place! I will absolutely be back! Thank you so much!

    My first tattoo Princess Mononoke absolutely beautiful

    Had an amazing experience with Jose aka Cheeseburger. My very first tattoo and from the moment I walked in I loved the decor and vibe of the shop. I felt so comfortable watching Kubo and the two strings while getting tatted. Jose was very patient with me, a very anxious and overreactor, so I appreciated him answering my texts after the appointment. The quality of his anime tattoos are superb and the time he takes really shows in his work. He even mocked up two separate pieces based on what I wanted. I drove 8 hours from Norcal for my first tattoo and it was so worth it. Thank you Jose and sorry for the extremely late review.

    I've been a fan of Mat for sometime so I was excited about getting a piece from him. We went back and forth with ideas about the piece I'd want and decided on a "The Killing Joke" Joker tattoo. My whole experience was amazing and I love the finished product. I'm definitely going to return and get more pieces added from Mat. The whole staff is friendly and answer questions you may have. If you want some quality work I'd definitely recommend Black Anchor. Their work speaks for itself!

    Butterfly is a cover up. And the start of my sleeve. It's still a work in progress but I love what he's done so far.

    Joe has done numerous tattoos for me and my family. He is the best! He even did an awesome job with my cover up. Now he's working on my sleeve. I won't go to anyone else.

    If you are looking for some amazing work and a super chill artist, definitely gonna wanna check out Henry Ruiz! I've had 2 tattoos done by him now and they turned out AMAZING. The healing was flawless and left both tattoos looking like I just walked out of the shop. Most definitely will be booking more appointments with Henry!!!

    I have been here twice and both times i felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the doors. I booked an appointment via email with Carlos Rojas and he did a portrait of my daughter who passed away recently. Words can't describe how grateful I am for the work he did. 10/10 I would recommend Carlos as your artist and 10/10 I recommend this shop because of the customer service.

    Firstly this location isn't there anymore they are on Hesperia Rd just south of Bear Valley. Secondly Joe did an awesome job on the beginning of a massive piece he totally killed it. Joe took his time and didn't rush through it we booked and 8 hr sesh and it took damn near the entire time. Black Anchor Collective has top notch artists and this the second time I have been tattooed by them, Joe will definitely be finishing this piece.

    Black Anchor is really an awesome spot to get a tattoo! I've been going to my guy, Mike R. for about 7 years now and when I heard he was working here I was super excited to go and check out the place! Everyone there is super helpful and of course Mike always does a phenomenal job; I mean I've been only going to him for the past 7 years, if that's not trust and loyalty I don't know what is He always makes your ideas come to life and there's never a dull moment! He's very professional and he works with your schedule! Stop by and see his work or look him up on social media @umbrellaface promise you won't regret it!! This is my newest piece done by Mike

    Been working with Mat H. for the last year on 2 color Lego Superhero half sleeves. I always get compliments but in the last 2 weeks I've had several people (at the movies, Starbucks, market) strike up a whole conversation about how sick my tattoos are! I love my tattoos for me but getting that type of reaction randomly from strangers is amazing.

    I've been getting tattooed by Umbrella Face since late July of 2017 and his art is beyond beautiful. I've gotten a few pieces that are of his own design but even when I throw out an idea it's better than what I could have come up with. It's always a friendly and professional work place that is very sanitary. I highly recommend checking out his work!

    Do the do piercings as well?? Thanks!

    Unfortunately We don’t.

    Can anyone give me a price range on the hourly rates charged please I'd appreciate it so much?

    Will depend on the artist that you're wanting! I was there three hours and paid three hundred for mine . My tattoo is about the size of my hand with a lot of detail! Best to call and get a quote for the artist you want! Best of luck!!

    My review is on the owner Mario, some might say my review is more personal, and in most cases it…read morewould be, but getting a tattoo is a very personal experience between you and the artist, how the artist conducts their personal affairs should figure in on how you choose your artist...... Mario and his wife have a house on my street, it's supposed to be owner occupied but is not, instead it's occupied by Mario's wife's(future ex wife, I'm not technically sure) Boyfriend who in fact lives there rent free, no water or trash service, he steals from the neighbors & Mario(in Mario's case he stole & spent $80,000 from Mario's biz account. In fact the Bf is one of those rare kind of scandalous people, that no matter what kind of deal you worked out with him, the second you turn around, he gotta grab a little more that was agreed on behind your back, everytime, he just can't help him self. Not to long ago he made me a deal, to where I was supposed to get like 1K worth of different items just to loan him this brand new computer I got, not only did I get my computer back gutted, I never got n e of the other stuff he promised me either, then I find out the 1k of stuff he promised belonged to Mario, so I did the right thing and told Mario what dude was up to, Mario have my e his word dude was being evicted and would be out of the house by the middle of Feb 2025. Why would Mario let the dude who broke he and his wife up, stole 80k from his biz account and still tries to steal from Mario today continue to live in his house, rent free, drive his car for the same price ???? Well I'm gonna tell you, first off the biznez accounts belong to the biznez owners who are Mario and his wife, turns out Mario and his wife make a lot of money, cuz they came up with some kinda sanitary glue that hold the tattoo pattern in place for the artist. Now all tattoo artist everywhere, not just in the US are required to use this glue that Mario and his wife hold the patten on, everytime a tattoo is done in a shop, they get royalties from their glue. Wow that's gotta be a lot of money ? I mentioned Mario his wife are getting divorced ? Well Mario it seems thinks all the biznez cash should stay his in the divorce, and the weasel played right into that for him, I guess Mario has an implied deal with his wife, if he don't press charges on the Wiesel for the theft of the 80k then she don't hire a divorce lawyer to protect her share of everything, of course he got to hire his own lawyer to ensure only she gets screwed in the end. Now I'm not passing judgement on n e body, even if it does seem Mario a little one sided there, I'm just throwing info out there for you guys to consider before picking your next tattoo artist. This whole story is in the words told me by the Bf, true or not, I don't know but he gotta let him keep living in that house for free for some reason Have a great day and god bless you all

They were very nervous and scared Richard took his time explained everything and patiently waited for them to be ready before he started. He explained every step and gave them tips on how to relax. He gave detailed instruction on maintenance and cleanliness also took the time to explain it again before we left making sure they understood the importance of it. I'm very confused how this place has bad reviews. First off Richard is amazing he even wiped my girls tears from her eyes (very common with nose piercings) he cracked jokes with them and even gave them a extra nose ring to swap out when it's time. Blaming someone for your negligence is so odd to me! Before you get any service you do your research even with the great details he gives everyone is different specially if you have thick skin you will heal different and take a longer time. This is the only place I go to and will continue to go too! PROS: Very clean Professional Caring Great play list Courteous Patient Large selection Quick Great at what he do CONS: You never want to leave lol!

    This is not to bash on the shop bc my only issue was with the piercer with the pink and green hair…read moreI think her name is violet or ezzy. First when she pierced me she failed to inform me she didn't have the typical jewelry for a mid helix until after she pierced me leaving me no option then to buy ugly, small, cheap piece of jewelry, otherwise I would've had to pay for just a hole in my ear that was gonna close in 5 mins. If I had know of this prior i would've simply not gotten a piercing at all. Then the cheap jewelry (which she charged separately from the actual piercing itself) falls out a week later I kid you not it was in for 8 days! When I called and ask to speak to her I asked politely if I could get a refund for the jewelry, I told her I was not expecting a full refund bc Ik the piercing itself was charged separately I just wanted the money back for the cheap jewelry bc I had to go replace it now, she replies "absolutely not" in a kind of 'are you stupid for asking' tone, which I thought was rude especially for someone who's working a customer service based job, and told me what she could do was give me a discount if I came in for a different piece of jewelry. Why would I have to pay again for something that was her mistake and for most likely another cheap piece that was probably gonna fall out again. I went to a complete different shop to get the jewelry replace and they did it for free not even knowing of the circumstances. She was also rude to my friend when she asked asked if they had any other jewelry for her piercing she replied "no" very sternly seeming annoyed when she could've simply said this is the only jewelry we carry, or it would be an up charge for a different piece of jewelry again especially considering she's working a customer service based job! I do not recommend letting her pierce you!!
