I sent her some reference images of a barn swallow and she, as they say, understood the assignment! She custom mixed some colors and they turned out gorgeous. Again, another lovely experience here. Met some of the other artists and chatted with them while I was getting worked on and loved seeing everyone's different styles. They were all preparing for Friday the 13th and I got to see some of their flash pages. Really friendly people to talk to. Thanks again, Brianna. You're not only one of my favorite artists, but also one of my favorite people!

Obsessed with Retro Row Ink -- Andrew, in particular. Ughh I love him! He's so warm and immediately…read moremade me feel completely cozy and comfortable. My little brother has a few tattoos by Andrew and only has the very best things to say, plus his tattoos and the line work look SO so good... so when my sister and I recently visited said brother in Long Beach, we had to put Retro Row Ink on the agenda. This tattoo shop is one big open room with maybe 8-10 artist-stations throughout. Everything is super clean, colorful, and welcoming, and of course there's tons of beautiful artwork by the resident tattoo artists across the walls. You gotta browse and enjoy all the different talent! My sister got a couple small tattoos, some script and then her daughters' initials worked into a tattoo she already has. Andrew sent us a link to a website where we could search and select fonts, but if you need ideas your tattoo artist will definitely have them! I like the idea of tiny tattoos on my hands/fingers, just one tiny step at a time, hahah. I decided to get a single teensy star, which I now call the North star. It looks like a classic, Christmassy twinkle star... or what a single light looks like in the dark when you have an astigmatism, ha. ANYWAY, it's the perfect tiny little sparkle and Andrew was able to draw it with the tiniest, finest little lines. I love it. I'll see how it heals and how the ink takes to my hand-skin, but I'm already making plans for my next Long Beach trip so I can see Andrew again!

What a cool experience to be tattooed at Outer Limits!! The museum area is fun to browse and the…read morewhole place has the feel of being on a ship. All of the staff was super friendly and helped me check in at the kiosk. I was referred to Charlene by a friend after I saw the beautiful tattoo she had gotten by her. I had wanted an Owl tattoo for years and I felt Charlene could deliver on the detail I wanted. She was very communicative and professional thru the whole process and everything at the studio was done under very aseptic technique. We also really had a nice time chatting during the hour or two she was doing my artwork. I got a bit clammy at the start so she gave me a little break and then I think adrenaline kicked in and nerves calmed and we tired a fan on and I was good to go. Once she was done I was absolutely in love with my new tattoo. He's so cute! I couldn't be happier!! And I'm already healing well. Thank you Charlene and all OL staff!!

And I liked her tips/reposition of my tattoo. Sometimes it's more about control for us and artist should have some creative control. Learned that the hard way :,) Thanks for helping me with my special tats, Nina love your local family/Long Beach business

This is the only shop I will go to in Long Beach (or at all)…read more I have been getting tattooed here for 5 years now and I have been tattooed by Kevin, Austin, and Nick. Every experience has been great. The artists all know how to turn your ideas into a reality and give you a truly custom piece of work. Each artists has their own style and they will direct you to the right person for what you want. Each artist is welcoming, makes sure you're comfortable, and includes you in the conversation. Austin has been working on a full leg sleeve and he has really gone above and beyond with each piece of the sleeve and I'm so excited to see it finished. Everything is fantasy, metal, alien all with a comic book feel. Kevin is my go-to artist to give me any traditional, psychedelic, and pop culture pieces and he's just a fun person to be around so spending time in the chair is super comfortable.

I recently had my first two appointments with Michael after being referred to him by family members…read morehe's tattooed. Their tattoos always looked clean, professional, and creative, so I felt confident booking with him. For my first tattoo, Michael was able to take me as a walk-in, which I really appreciated. Even though I didn't have an appointment, I never felt rushed. I explained what I wanted verbally, and he immediately sketched up a design that was exactly what I had in mind. From start to finish, I was tattooed in less than an hour. It's been a few weeks now, and it has healed beautifully. I went back for a second tattoo, a small rib piece. I had sent him the font I liked beforehand, and when I got there, he whipped up a few size suggestions to help me choose what looked best. He took the time to make sure everything was spelled correctly and placed exactly the way I wanted before we started. Both experiences have been fantastic. Michael is professional, clean, efficient, and genuinely cares about the quality of his work. His workstation was spotless, and for my rib tattoo, he even used a clean drape on the bed to make sure I was comfortable while lying on my side. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who is talented, creative, detail-oriented, and respectful of your time, I highly recommend Michael. I've had two great experiences with him, and I'll definitely be working with him again on
