    My friend recommended this shop to me and I decided to go with it. Grateful that I did. I walked in and was greeted immediately by staff and Pokey decided to do my tattoo. Im from out of state and this was my first CA tattoo since living here. Not only was Pokey very perceptive of what I wanted but his tattoo technique was gentle. I have quite a few tattoos and I can easily say he did the best I've ever had. He gave me his own ideas but never made me feel as if it was his decision. 10/10 will continue to go him. I showed him two pictures. He drew what he wanted from that. We didn't even need to adjust. He was kind. Asked how I was periodically. And then we rocked out the rest. He is my official go to in Orange County.

    I highly recommend Black Palm Tattoo! Aaron and Joey Cox are first rate, talented tattooists. Today I was privileged to have Rob Barrett (intern) do my art. I am so happy with the results.

    I highly recommend this tattoo shop. I've seen Pokey twice now and couldn't be more than stoked on my pieces. He's fast, clean, and very professional. Perfect lines, coloring, and shading. All of the artists at the shop seem super chill and friendly. Check them out if you haven't yet, you won't be disappointed.

    This review is for Elexa! (susanxsharp on instagram) I've gotten work done by her before when she was located at another shop and that piece came out amazing. I've been wanting a bondage piece done for a minute now and she was the perfect person that came to mind to execute it and she exceeded my expectations by FARR. I honestly kinda gave her a vague idea of what I wanted and let her have her creative way with it because I knew regardless it was going to come out bomb like the first piece she had done for me. If you're looking to get work done, I definitely recommend her. She's the biggest sweetheart and works so swiftly but her talent is beyond incredible. Definitely going to keep collecting more work from her.

    My second tattoo. I wanted a camping scene.

    I've gone here twice, and I know if I were to get any more tattoos I would come back here again. I personally got my tattoos done by Pokey Wolf (Paul A) and he was absolutely amazing! I have one other tattoo from another shop and the experience was nowhere near the same. Pokey was very kind, creative, and did a great job with my tattoo! The first time I had a design in mind, and the second time I gave him mostly free reign. Everyone at this parlor is extremely friendly and super talented. The place itself is a very welcoming atmosphere and clean. I can't recommend this parlor enough. Thanks so much to Pokey and everyone there!

    Took me forever to find someone to do my tattoo, because I wanted something worth my money. I came across this page and saw @susanxsharp (Instagram). Her work is absolutely amazing and she is super super nice. I was able to book my appointment 2 months prior, and finally got it. I didn't have cash, so she waited for me until I finally found an ATM. I really recommend Elexa/Susan for any portraits or costume tattoo. She has a great style and very kind.

    This 66yo tattoo virgin had been considering a tattoo for a couple of years. When I finally decided to pull the trigger and had a general idea of what I wanted. I was given the recommendation of Black Palm Tattoo and Aaron Cox. I stopped in to see Aaron and talk to him about what I had in mind and to schedule an appointment. The staff there was very friendly. Aaron was busy with a customer but took a few minutes to talk with me about what I had in mind for the work I wanted done. He did a quick sketch which was pretty much the idea I had in mind. A few days later I set up an appointment to have it done. Aaron sent me the outline of the design he came up with which was awesome. I arrived for my appointment and we discussed the design and during my drive in I decided to add something to it which was not a problem and Aaron went to work. I was nervous in the beginning but Aaron was very professional and easy to talk with. I am very pleased with the outcome! THANKS AARON!

    Andrew hooked it up. Nice work.

    I've gotten tattooed by Joey and Andrew. This shop has good vibes for me, so I don't mind driving out there for some ink. I'm hoping to have a piece from each one of them when I'm all said and done. They specialize in traditional work, but that's not all they can do. I'll be back there soon.

    After searching around, I came across Joey's Instagram page and saw his exceptional work (@joeycoxtattooer). Many of my friends have gone to him numerous times and have been satisfied with his work. That's when myself and my boyfriend decided to make an appointment with him. He was very professional and booked us on the same day. I can't say I wasn't nervous for my first tattoo but the way he handled everything in such a poised manner made my mind at ease. After my session, Joey gave me thorough care instructions and as soon as I knew it, my tattoo was healed and perfect! If you're looking for an experienced & talented tattoo artist, go see Joey!

    Adoption reunion tattoo done by Joey who absolutely killed it! Thanks Joey!

    Joey did an awesome job on an adoption reunion tattoo that has a lot of personal significance. Totally happy with his work and will definitely return to him for more!

    I've gotten a couple of tattoos done by Jordan. He is professional, nice, and very talented. I love all the artwork and atmosphere at Black Palm, it's a very welcoming environment. I've referred a few of my friends to Jordan and I will continue to. I am super happy with my tattoos!!!

    Ask the Community - Black Palm Tattoo

    Is it affordable and how much would it be for two small tattoos?

    Hi, the shop minimum is $100. If the two small tattoos are for the same person it may just be the $100. If the two tattoos are for different people it would be $100 for each person. Hope to hear from you soon!

    I went to Andrew Vargas for some tattoos - he was very professional, accommodating, friendly, and…read morevery good with his ATTENTION TO DETAIL. I am very stoked with my new tattoos and impressed with how they came out! I hope to continue to get more tattoos by Andrew. I highly recommend him!!!

    I'm giving two stars because truly one of the tattoos I got here was absoloutely amazing, and…read moreeverything I could of dreamed of. But it went south from there. I did need to cancel my original appointment early the morning a day prior due to being ill with GG, and I was informed I would need to place another deposit. I agreed and specifically asked whether that additional deposit would apply toward the tattoo, and I was told that it would. When I arrived for the rescheduled appointment, I was told it did not apply and that this had been communicated via text. After reviewing the messages, I did not see that clarification reflected. I did not argue because I respected her and complied. I also want to note that I was not made aware of any written shop policy regarding deposits in this situation. Based on the wording of the conversation, it came across that the additional deposit was for accountability due to the late cancellation, rather than that the original deposit would no longer count toward the tattoo. It's also worth mentioning that policy isn't anywhere nor was communicated to me. During the session, the artist stopped partway through because she wasn't feeling well, which I completely understand and respect. However, once the tattoo healed (it has now been over a month), I noticed visible shakiness in the linework, inconsistent line weight, and areas of blowout that were not apparent initially. I want to be clear that I genuinely love the tattoo concept itself, my concern is specifically with the execution. I paid a significant amount for the piece, and while I am not seeking a refund, as nice as that'd be, I was disappointed by the technical quality of the finished linework. Especially receiving a tattoo from this artist before and it being absoloutely amazing. So trust was broken there as well. As it healed I didn't really notice at first how poorly done it was. So later, when I reached out to book my next tattoo, I did not receive a response and noticed I was blocked from viewing the artist's stories, which made the lack of communication feel exclusionary and unprofessional. My intention in this review isn't to place blame, but to ask for acknowledgment. I value transparency, especially with permanent work. I paid quite a bit for very very poorly done healed work. It ended up being over $250+.

I started going to Jason back in my 20s, and now that I'm in my 50s, he's still the absolute best in his craft -- if anything, he just keeps getting better. Jason can do everything: stunning cover-ups, beautiful watercolor pieces, and all styles including American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, New School, Black and Gray, Realism, and Japanese Tattoo Style. He's incredibly versatile and adapts to whatever idea or vision you bring him. Every tattoo he's done for me has turned out even better than the picture or concept I had in mind. What really stands out is his professionalism and attention to detail. Lefty's Tattoo is exceptionally clean, professional, and welcoming. The entire team (Josh and Jay in particular) is kind, respectful, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. The equipment is always sterile, clean and up to date, and the environment is relaxed but focused. Even as my skin has changed over the years, Jason knows exactly how to work with it -- every line, color, and detail still comes out amazing. He's a true artist who understands the craft inside and out. If you're looking for a tattoo artist you can trust completely, someone who listens, delivers beyond expectations, and treats you like family, Jason Martin and his team at Lefty's Tattoo is the one. Hands down, the best there is. Thank you, Jason -- you've been my artist, my friend, and a part of my story for over two decades. Here's to many more!

He recently completed a sleeve on my right arm with a hot rod theme. The lines are tight, the colors pop, and i am thrilled with the end result!
