    Simple tattoos but would def trust them with a more detailed piece

    Wanted to get some initial tattoos for our 20th anniversary and stopped by on a whim. Amazing vibe from the get go. Everyone was chill and friendly. Brandon was professional, skilled, and fun to talk to. Clean place and good people

    Loved what Chris did with my existing tattoo. Great art, great convo, and great work. Thanks, Chris. I'll be seeing you real soon

    Tattoo by Kevin Childs

    I recently lost my Dad and wanted to get a tattoo in memory him. I stumbled upon Kevin Childs IG through one of my friends. His work was amazing. I reached out to him through IG and scheduled a consultation. He was very knowledgeable and professional and gave me some good tips on how to choose my tattoo and what to look out for. Appointment day was nerve wrecking because it was my first tattoo and I knew it was going to be painful. Kevin explained what to expect so it put me at ease. He was fast but precise and talked me through almost the entire process, keeping me distracted. Tattoo came out beautiful! Post healing, my tattoo still looks perfect. I will be coming back for another one!

    I have been twice for long sessions over the last month (somewhere around 15 hours total). Chris MacCharles is doing a large piece for me. To say his work impresses me would be a huge understatement. Above all else, all the artists are personable, friendly, and welcoming. From their newest artist to veteran guys, they were all doing incredibly impressive work and being beyond welcoming and friendly to the customers. My wife had been wanting a tattoo for years and finally today pulled the trigger with Chris. Again, his work speaks for itself. Today was much the same, a full shop with machines going all over the place. Friendly conversation between artists and clients all across the shop and another incredibly awesome experience! I already have more sessions booked and cannot say enough about this place. I am hoping to work with the other artists in the shop as well in the future to collect more pieces and continue my relationship with such an awesome local small business!

    Best tattoo shop in Southern California. Went to get a tattoo in honor of my father. Chris designed my tattoo and I'm so glad he did. He is a true artist and a true professional and designed and executed my tattoo better than I could have ever dreamed. If you need a tattoo and you're in Southern California this is the tattoo shop to go to. Will definitely be going back thank you Chris!

    My life partner and I booked a duo session; she had Bryan " Snacks" ... and I had Josh Davies ... they were rock stars!! The shop was clean, the entire staff was awesome; even the the artists who weren't working on us aka: Kevin and Ernie .. those guys were just as friendly, they really make the experience more than just a tattoo ... they build a friendship. From now on this is our home ink spot!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE GUYS FOR ALL YOUR INK NEEDS!!

    Why can't I give 100 stars?!? 5 stars does not do justice to the shop. Chris MacCharles took my vision and hit it out of the park with the final product! The shop environment was beyond what I hoped for. Each individual artist was very welcoming...the vibe in the shop was very social, inclusive, and FUN! All of the tattoo artists were very kind, personable, and busy with happy clients. I would highly recommend anyone to the shop as each artist was working hard to provide nothing but top-notch work and customer satisfaction! I cannot wait to visit again! I would recommend the newcomers look at the artists portfolios on the counter and find someone who will fit your individual vision. Each one offers something unique and personable to their individual style!

    I came into contact with multiple tattoo shops in the surrounding area before coming across this gem & I'm soo glad I did. The artist & shop were quick to get back to my boyfriend whom booked the appointment for me & answered all questions. This was my first tattoo & the staff I met along with the artist (Bryan) were all very friendly & talkative. I felt 100% comfortable during & was checked in with multiple times throughout. Not only did I get a beautiful tattoo but a great experience too. Thank you! I highly recommend & will definitely be back in the future. && (They were also accommodating for my latex allergy)

    Had a couple of tats added to my wrist today Josh did an excellent job definitely would recommend him detailing was awesome , very very satisfied with his work very friendly really concerned about your happiness with the Tat. Very reasonable with the price

    If you're looking for a great tattoo Breakthrough Tattoo is the place to go! I just got my 2nd tattoo from Chris! Both times he knocked it out of the park! On my newest one he captured my furbaby perfectly. The shop is clean, professional, and some really talented artists. Check them out you won't be disappointed.

    BRYAN M is the guy to go to! As a girl going to get tattooed can be intimidating and you can feel like you are getting taken advantage of. That is NOT how i felt with him. This piece already looks amazing and the color is not even complete yet. He talked me through every step of the way and was so kind. Really easy to get along with and bought me dinner to which no other tattoo artist has done before Definitely got a good feeling being there. As for the shop it is so clean and sanitized everyone was super nice and it was an overall good vibe.

    Nice little piece done by Brian Deroo.
    Michael L.

    Great tattoo shop in this plaza. Plenty of talented artists. I recommend Brian Deroo for your tatts he's a versatile artist and does it all. Also have a lot of food choices near by which is helpful.

    Look at that perfect line work!
    Samantha S.

    We can all agree that 2020 sucks. One thing I can honestly say was good about this year is the tattoo I got here at breakthrough by Bryan. Quality line work and amazingly fast. Hands down floored by the amazing work he's done. Ask for Bryan. I did my research and found that he was the best in the area. Don't hesitate, he's reliable and you'll get exactly what you want and more. Trust his artistic skill set! I am absolutely in love with the work he's done. Here's a fresh picture of what was done. Wait for the update for shading and healed work.

    See all

    Brought my friend here (my absolute go-to piercing place ) since we both wanted new piercings…read more Today, I got my rook and tragus, and she got her rook and snug. One thing I always appreciate about here is how friendly, caring, and informative everyone is. Whether I have questions about anatomy or aftercare, they always explain everything clearly and never make me feel rushed or confused. And honestly, the piercing process is always way faster and smoother than I expect. I'll mentally prepare for it to hurt and then suddenly they're like "all done!" and I'm sitting there like "oh, that wasn't bad at all" haha. That's also why all my cartilage piercings (3 helix's, 2 tragus's, conch, daith, and rook) have been done here!

    1/30/26 - Called about information for a walk in to get my septum and a pair of lobe piercings…read moredone. They were very informative about hours and pricing. Most importantly they were able to do the piercings I wanted the same day unlike the other shops I called. When I arrived, the store was empty, very clean and quaint. Just the two workers opening the store for the day. I filled out the consent form and about 10 minutes later I was called to the back by Melissa who measured my existing piercings to mark them on my other ear. Very happy with her attention to detail. Everything seemed to be sanitized properly as well, at least to my untrained eyes. She went ahead with the lobe piercings after letting me see the spots she marked using a handheld mirror and they turned out great. I had the same experience with the septum as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience here at Mint Condition and Melissa's work, and will always consider this place first when I'm ready to get my next piercings!

    Best anime tattoo artist in SoCal!…read more I recently got a tattoo from Wilber (@supa_way_tatt) at Scratch and I cannot recommend the artist and studio enough!! I took a VERY long time to dig through countless portfolios of tattoo artists - there's obviously many talented artists, but so many anime artists heavily reduce the detail in the piece (remove the shadows/lines, simplify it) and often the faces are just the tiiiiiiniest bit off and I really can notice it. It was deeply important to me to find an artist whose portfolio I felt like nailed EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. and with incredible attention to detail, no matter the character, no matter the size. I wanted a tattoo of Levi from Attack on Titan's eyes - specifically where his 1 eye is bandaged and I was very insistent that ALL detail from the frame I chose would be included. every tiny line, every little shadow and detail. and Wilber NAILED it and got everything to absolute perfection. I was confident with my choice going into the tattoo but I was still floored by how perfect Levi's face turned out. I also was trying to avoid just getting a straight up anime frame and so wanted to put Levi within a bird silhouette (so it was a bit more subtle) and Wilbur was incredibly receptive to my notes and preferences and took literally everything I wanted into account and blended his face into the bird PERFECTLY. It looks seamless and even better than I envisioned. I couldn't be more pleased. The studio is super great vibes - perfectly clean (without feeling clinical or sterile), modern, spacious, easy parking, chill music playing, and overall just really nice vibes. I felt welcome and comfortable and when you're kind of nervous pre-tattoo, that's really important. If you're deciding between a few different artists/studios, trust me, go with Wilber @ Scratch!!!!!
