Awesome place. Great work. My friend and I got some tattoos last night and it was great. Good artist,I believe it was Dusti, but he is light handed and it was a pleasure. I recommend this place and I WILL be back to finish my sleeve. There are a few other places on the street and Black Rose is hidden in the back of the strip mall. I think if they were on the street like Hawaii or Monroe it would be better but the are definitely a hidden gem. Nothing against either of those places but Black Rose is one of the Best shops I have been to. read more

Black Rose Tattoo - Me after my piercings - Tattoo Near Me - Orangevale, California

So I messaged Mike first thing in the morning on Thursday 3/1/18 about a tattoo I wanted to get on my forearm, he replied right away with an opening that day. When I got to the shop it was really chill and super clean which I appreciated, Mike and I sat down and talked over what exactly I was looking over. After a few minutes Mike went into the back to draw, when he came out he had gotten exactly what i wanted so we started tattooing. It only took about 2 hours and pretty much no pain at all, even with outlining, shading, and coloring, there were even some points where I thought he had stopped but he was still going. I will definitely be back to Black Rose soon. I am coming back for the mermaid Mike!!! Thank you for everything!!! read more

Mike was awesome! I was originally going to get my first tattoo in March, but COVID closed down everything. Contacted Mike a few times during the lock down, he always responded right away. Finally in November I set an appointment, I could not have been happier with his work, his attention to detail and pleasant nature made the whole process so easy going. I would recommend him to anyone. read more

It's been 4 days and my piercing is healing beautifully, minimal bleeding and hardly any pain. Would absolutely recommend! read more

Messed up my eye brow piercing. Took it out the day of getting it done. Looked like he pierced through a thin slab of my skin. I wasted 40 bucks. AND i went there to get my nose done and he scares u before getting it done by telling you its gonna hurt. THEN the dude messed up and had to do it twice. I was bleeding all over. He was nice though. read more

I have been to a few tattoo shops and this is by far the best shop. Clean, professional, and great people. Shane does all my work and I will never go anywhere else.

Walked in to get a nose piercing and walked out with said piercing very happy! My piercer (I never got her name but she's so kind and informative) made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

I had been looking around for a place to get my first piercing (both ear lobes) and I came across The Black Rose on Yelp.

I definitely recommend coming here. (CASH ONLY) read more

Jessica did my second lobe piercing and was super professional and made me feel comfortable. She was experienced and was passionate about the quality of her piercing. I was able to walk in (without an appointment) and be pierced within twenty minutes. Highly recommend. read more

Mike at Black Rose tattoo is an amazing artist, listens to his clients and always makes sure you are 100% satisfied with his work, if you are a 1st timer he is patient and understanding if you have been inked before you will be amazed at how light of a touch he has while giving you great detail that has colors that pop. This was my 2nd time with him and tho this one was pretty basic he made sure he made it just as I wanted it. With all the tattoo shops in the area to choose from, choose carefully as some are fly by night scratchers that have no business inking your skin permanently. Visit is shop and you will see it is clean well laid out and his artwork amazing. 5 stars all the way, thanks Mike will see you soon for the big project, Fender Bass meets skin....

Michael is great!!! He did my mother in law at the age of 91. went to an other tattoo place and they would not touch her. we live in Orangevale and he was very close to us. He said he could do her. She has always wanted a purple rose on her arm. He is very professional and took his time on her.She loved Frank Sinatra and was the music he played for her. Mom passed way on June 23, 22. My family went back to the Black Rose and Michael did my son, daughter, son in law, my husband, and me with tattoos. We all had a purple rose incorporated in our tats. Had my first one at age 74. Couldn't have had a better person to work on me. Joan H read more

My Yelp review of my experience; Ok with you (since I mention ur name)? So...I reached out to the Yelp community to ask for someone who could pierce my nipples. I had a couple responses, but the best response was from Michael D. at Black Rose Tattoo in Orangevale. I had a bunch of questions about the process and the cost, and Michael answered all of my questions. We made an appointment. I arrived at Michael's shop at 2:30PM. I was finished by 3PM! In that short time: - Michael had me fill out some paperwork - checked out my nipples to see what size jewelry was needed - invited me back into the studio - had me sit on an elevated table while he prepped my nipples by: - cleaning them (alcohol pads, I think) - measuring - a spot on either side of my nipple - clamping them - explaining that this was the most painful part (I loved it though), - deep breath in, deep breath out, - piercing, no worse than any other needle (think medical injections, etc.) - installing the barbells. Pain? Minimal. If you enjoy a clamp on your nipple (as I do), the piercing won't bother u at all. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Michael will guide you. Blood? Minimal. Michael explained that he didn't want to tape bandages on my nipples, since my chest is too furry. But since I saw a bit of blood, he taped a couple paper towel slips on my nipples using bandaids. Follow up: Michael was correct. Just a drop or two of blood on the paper towels. Cost? $70. Seriously, only $70. As I write this note, I am safely back home four hours after my visit to Michael's shop. Still feeling great; will follow the post-care instructions to the letter. No soreness at all, though will apply an icepack as Michael suggested. In the meantime, thanks again Michael for a great experience. read more

I can easily sum up Black Rose with one word, Fantastic. I have gotten both tattoo'd and Pierced here, by Mike and Veronica respectively and both were experts in their craft. I couldn't complain if I wanted too. Due to personal choice i have never gotten more then one tattoo per artist. However, I will definitely be going back to Mike for more work. As for piercings, I got 2 Dermal's in my forearm and a Helix. They were all quick and easy with no messing about. Quick and accurate with her needle (which were all opened from their packaging in front of me, one of my piercing pet peeves) there was just about no pain to speak of. Again, will for sure be a return customer. Just knowing of a shop that I actually want to have more work done at by the same people is a huge + mark for me. Outside of the people doing the work, the shop is clean and comfortable. You cannot go wrong with Black Rose. read more

Got a septum piercing done by verinica. Minimal pain, slight pinch which is normal. Everything was very clean and she only uses new needles. Gave me a paper with care instructions and seasalt. She has piercings herself so she is very knowledgeable in care and upkeep. Will go back to her for any future piercings. read more

I am so happy with my experience at Black Rose! After being disappointed with another shop (who turned me away due to personal issues with the staff) I turned to Yelp to find a place I felt comfortable going to get my nose pierced. Black Rose came up with many great reviews so I called after I got off work to see if it could be done tonight. Veronica was able to fit me in within the hour! The shop is clean, Veronica is very friendly and knowledgable in her craft, and ultimately I am pleased with my piercing! I will definitely be back for any other piercing needs :) read more

Thank you Mike! I went in with a couple of unfinished ideas, and he created such a beautiful memorial piece for my beautiful cat who recently passed. I'm so happy with it, and I can't wait to go back for color. Shane also did a wonderful job on my husbands piece! They were very patient with us, and very kind. Although I didn't get pierced while I was there, Veronica was very nice to us as well and had no problem answering all of my questions about her work and different piercings. I look forward to some possible piercings In the future. :) Thank you so much Black Rose! It was a wonderful experience. read more

Ok so I don't remember their names the guy and the girl, but they gave me and my niece matchymatchys small and simple. We are from out of town and last minute decided to do this before we parted ways. They were very clean, professional and cool. The girl rearranged my tattoo placement twice to line it up perfectly wanting it to be perfect. Told me it's forever so it needs to be how I want. The wrist is hard to line up. I'm sorry I don't remember your names!! But thank you for the great experience with my niece. read more

My husband and I went in last night for some tattoos, called a half hour before coming in and getting right in. Shane did an amazing job on both of us... we both love our tattoos!!! Got a good deal, he took his time, drew up exactly what we wanted and let me take breaks (kinda a new be to tats lol) Great customer service, clean shop, great tattoos!! We will definitely be back read more

This tattoo shop is clean & has a friendly atmosphere. I contacted Mike about a piercing & he got back to me pretty quickly. I went in that same day & got it done. I even booked an appointment for a tattoo & went in today & got in done. He helped figure out size & placement & made me feel better about how it would look. During, the session he asked me how I was doing & reminded me that if I ever needed a break then to let him know. He kept conversation going & rechecked the tattoo to make sure he didn't miss any spots. Mike's the best & was overrall a great experience. I will definitely be back!! read more
