I am SO GLAD I found Jeremy! I had a tattoo that desperately needed coverup and he did an amazing job. He worked with me through the design revisions and when we finally got a date down, I'll have to say I was nervous. Could it really be covered up? This was almost too good to be true... day of, the shop is clean and you can immediately tell that Jeremy is a professional and a true artist. He's also a super pleasant, honestly nice human being. If I had to sit for five hours for a tattoo, he'd be the person I'd do that with. The end result was... unbelievable. Anyone who has seen this coverup can't believe how good it is. I'll def be returning to Jeremy for my other cover ups and I'd highly recommend him to anyone with an old tattoo they'd rather not have. Thank you so much Jeremy!

I cannot recommend or say enough GOOD things about Broken Art tattoo as a whole. Every single artist there makes you feel comfortable and welcome no matter if it's your 1st visit or your 100th. My family and I have been getting tattooed at Broken Art for 10+ years and it's always the best experience. The shop owner, Jeremy Swan, makes such an effort to make sure you're comfortable through every single step. He's done a number of tattoos for me, the first one being my portrait of my dog. I was very nervous before going into the shop. Jeremy handled my nerves with ease and now it's one of my favorite tattoos. When I was ready to get my back piece, I knew that there was no one else I wanted to do it but Jeremy. I could not have imagined the process going any better. It's one thing to have talented artists but it's just as important to have someone that's friendly and thoughtful taking care of you, especially for 7 sessions. The confidence I have in knowing I'm going to get an epic piece every time I step in his shop is priceless. They have artists that specialize in anything you're looking for. I've been tattooed by Jeremy and Matt but would happily trust anyone at this shop.

This tattoo is a cover-up of a tattoo from 35 years ago

They have all different styles of art at this place. It's clean and well up kept. The vibe is very positive.

I got tattooed by Josue about three years ago. Sometimes it can feel very awkward during a session, but he made me feel comfortable and was very personable and professional. He's really talented and listens to his client, taking his time to get it right. I'm glad I trusted him to do such an important piece. I've moved away from LA and got more tattoos since then and it's still my favorite tattoo. I would definitely travel to get another tattoo done by him.

I went here for three different sessions and I truly enjoyed each one of them! I collaborated with Josue for all three and I was just amazed at how he brought my visions to life. I was detailed on what I hoped to see on each tattoo and he delivered! He even added some details to make them even more beautiful than I imagined. I'm extremely grateful for Josue's hard work and his talents!

Came to Cali for the weekend and impulsively decided I wanted a tattoo while I'm out here so I called Broken Art and they were so nice. Spoke to Derrek on the phone, but Josue was the one who actually did my tattoo. Just texted him what I wanted and gave me pricing and was able to see me within an hour. Definitely will be coming back if I'm ever in town again!

Came in last night for a neck piece. First time at the shop and the energy was great. I was recommended by a friend. Jeremy was my artist and created the perfect rose design. Next day and I'm feeling great and looks like everything will health quickly and smoothly. 5 stars. I'll be back.

Found this Tattoo Shop on Yelp and asked if I could come in the same day. Sent some reference pictures to Josue, we talked and figured out the vision and he perfectly executed it! Really grateful to have met Josue, he's genuine, keeps a good conversation going, and is truly Talented

Highly recommend Josue Acosta! This was my first tattoo and it could not have been a better experience. Josue took the ideas/description I sent him and knocked it out of the park with his design. The process of getting the tattoo was super chill and relaxed, and it healed really quickly with no issues. I've gotten tons of compliments on my bunny! Will definitely contact Josue when I'm ready for my next one.

Had a pleasure of getting my tattoo by Josh. He was gentle and friendly. We had great conversations that made the time goes by fast and took my mind off the tattoo. Don't get me wrong I love getting tattoos but I don't like pain .

Great work by Josue!
Grace P.

I found this shop from a quick Google, and was impressed on the website by Josue's work with color. This is my fourth tattoo, and my first with color. I was so impressed with Josue's work. I told him I wanted a David Bowie lightning bolt, and he came prepared with the perfect shape and colors picked out. It was done in under and hour, he was very friendly while working, and he gave me a great deal. I'll definitely be back for my next tattoo. Can't recommend this place enough!

Dillon is the man.

Is this place even still open? I tried calling more than a couple of times but no answer!? I even walked there but during business hours but they were closed.

Hi. Yes. It is still open. In fact, I have an appointment there again tomorrow

Is there a shop minimum?

I finally went ahead and booked a virtual consultation (being in San Diego). From the very beginning of the process, submitting the request to book, through the consultation itself, and coming in to get the tattoo, I had the most amazing experience. I felt comfortable that I was in the hands of the best team at this shop. Rob was super responsive with scheduling and questions. June created a beautiful design based on my references and feedback and added little touches that made it even better. When I showed up to my appointment, I was a little anxious, but it was such a cozy, beautiful studio and I felt welcomed and at ease by Rob and June. June took such great care to cover up the scars I wanted covered and make it look beautiful and flow well with the natural curves of my leg, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. After she finished her work, she brought out the professional camera to get the best pictures possible and promptly sent them to me the same night. You can tell she takes pride in her work (as she should!) I will absolutely be back for more tattoos in the future, and maybe add more to my leg sleeve. It was definitely worth the drive from San Diego to work with the right artist who made my vision come true!

I wanted a tiger paired with specific florals (forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and narcissus paperwhites) all kept above the elbow. Angie brought my vision to life more beautifully than I could have imagined. The process at Baron Art was seamless. After submitting a consultation form, I heard back within 1-2 days and coordinated everything with Cat (Angie's assistant) via email. Cat was wonderful, detailed, and quick to reply. On the day of my appointment, I received digital aftercare instructions after I checked in. Before starting, Angie was incredibly patient. She adjusted the tiger's scale on her iPad to match my arm and printed several stencils to ensure the size and placement was just right. She then freehanded the florals, precisely incorporating the negative space I requested to keep the design from feeling too heavy. Angie is incredibly talented and has a light touch. Even the pain in the inner bicep area was manageable. She made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session, and the result was perfect. This piece means so much to me and is very close to my heart, as it's a memorial for my mom who passed away recently. The forget-me-nots were her favorite flowers, and the narcissus paperwhites and honeysuckle are our birth flowers. The tiger was the first stuffed animal that my parents bought for me when we first immigrated to the US. It was my "guardian" throughout my childhood. Angie, thank you very much for your kindness and for creating such a meaningful, beautiful piece. This was the first of two sessions, and I already love it so much--I can't wait to see how it turns out! Some notes: - Snacks: I brought along Gatorade and was sipping on it before and during my session. I ate some candy and had a protein bar during the breaks too. It helped so much to keep my blood sugar up. - Vibe: So relaxing! The studio was spacious, and they were playing a throwback playlist from like the 2010s lol. I was vibing out and didn't even use the earbuds I brought! Everyone was so friendly too! Throughout the session, I noticed a couple artists stopped by to admire Angie's work as she was doing the tiger :) - Parking: parking in this location wasn't actually too bad. There's a structure about a 5 min walk away from the studio down the street. Just turn right into the little street where the Arrow Lodge Brewing is at. Go in a little bit, and it's on the left hand side. If you reach S Santa Fe Ave, you've gone too far!

There aren't the words to express just how comfortable and PAINLESS my experience was at the 3rd St…read moreOak and Poppy. Yesterday I got my septum pierced for my birthday. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and immediately made to feel at ease. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming. The jewelry is beautifully displayed. I just wish I remembered the name of the woman who helped us because she made such an impression. She walked us through all the options at different price points in a way that felt completely neutral and respectful. There was no subtle steering toward something more expensive. It genuinely felt like whatever we chose was the right choice. Ivy, my piercer, was incredibly thorough and precise. I really want to stress how pleasant and painless this piercing was. I am talking pain level 0 out of 10. I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP. She is extremely clean in her process and talked me through every step so I always knew what was happening. The room itself felt like a doctor's office in terms of cleanliness and professionalism. I wanted to write this because there aren't many reviews here about septum piercings specifically. When I was searching for where I wanted to go, Oak and Poppy kept coming up but I didn't see many septum reviews. Ivy is a true professional in this work. It's clear she knows exactly what she's doing. The staff cares about the customer's experience and it shows every step of the way. If you're looking for a septum piercing and want an experience that feels comfortable, this is the place to go! Thank you Ivy! Thank you Oak and Poppy!

Went though jewelry, explained all of that. I didn't get the name of the person who did the piercing, but he was amazing. He described everything to her, had her do deep breathing. It was done quick while also taking his time with everything. She felt secure and brave, I'm just so happy with her experience! I will definitely be going back after looking at some tattoo work as well, it all looked great.
