This place has international tattooists taking guest spots, and that says a lot for a shop in such a rural (ish) area. I personally have been tattooed by Curt twice, and his lines, detail, and saturation are on par with the best in the business. He's no nonsense, and when you sit down in his chair he tattoos you from start to finish, and asks a more than fair rate for the art you get. The environment is super chill, all of the artists are cool people, and the walls are plastered with beautiful art. There's an artist at this shop for anything you're looking for. Look at any of the artists portfolios, and you'll see that the other shops in town full of wannabe artists and scratchers with certificates aren't even competing. Don't waste your time with them, you'll just end up in Iron Mountain to get it covered anyway! Just because someone competed on a "reality" show, doesn't mean they have any real talent. The art speaks for itself.

We made it early enough to be one of the 25 people put in a raffle for a free tattoo. However, they ran out of time on Friday the 13th and were unable to get to us in, but, they did reschedule for the following weekend. We paid in full- tip included-before leaving. The following weekend we show up and instead of Chris, Tawny was there. She was doing our tattoo's instead. Tawny took a long time to prepare, then, was inturrupted by a client who had an appointment with Chris. Tawny had to call him, he seemed to not have the client on his books even though she had proof of her deposit. Tawny was stuck telling the client to contact Chris through messenger to resolve the appointment. Ultimately, in the end, the whole experience was strange and uncomfortable. One of our tattoos is okay, the other is getting fixed by another artist, I will not go back, nor would I recommend Sacred Art, Tawny, or, Chris Aguirre. The business is unorganized and unprofessional, and, is in an obvious rapid decline.

One day a friend and I were bored. We decided, "Hey! Let's get new piercings!" Neither one of us had a lot of cash, and I knew that Caddy Daddy's was cheap, so I suggested it. After being ignore for about a half hour, the piercer (whose name I will not mention, for respect) pierced a very thick piece of cartilage on my left ear it was supposed to be a "snug" piercing, but was done so deep that it never healed properly. I went back to the shop a few weeks later because I was very uncomfortable with the jewelry and was going to ask to get it changed out to something longer (the balls were getting stuck in my ear because it was so swollen) and I was ignored for about 45 minutes because the only piercer on duty was eating lunch, right in front of me, and I had to wait for him. After the wait, he told me that it was fine, and to just go home. I live 20 miles away from the shop, so it's kind of irritating to make that trip for nothing. After a month or so I gave up and went to a different shop to get better quality jewelry, but even that wasn't enough to save it. This was about a year and a half ago, and I have since let the piercing go. To this day my left ear is slightly misshapen and I don't believe it was any fault of my own. I will never set foot in this shop again. read more

Prior to coming here, I always did my own piercings. I finally got to a point that I needed the help of a professional. I visited most of the shops in redding and was not pleased with my experiances. A few felt unclean, all made me feel uncomfortable in their own special ways. Most of them where rude and thought they were better than everyone. Personally I like to feel welcome and that my business is important. From the first time I visited caddy daddys I felt comfortable. I had a tattoo done by Tom and it was high quality and fairly priced. Plus Tom is super nice and funny. Then it came to getting pierced... Chris made me feel very at ease. We joked and laughed and also talked serious about the piercing process and the healing process. He made sure I understood what he was doing and vice versa. So far he has pierced my cheeks and 3 dermal implants. I will keep going back to him for all my body mod needs. I highly recommend him and his shop for all your tattoo and piercing needs!!! read more

Wow Eden! Sounds like you had a bad peircing experience. Are you sure it was Caddy Daddy's you went to? Chris, the piercer is THE BEST. He has been my piercer for over 10 years and I would never go anywhere else. I am a nurse here in town and if your piercing didn't heal correctly, it must have been something you did or didn't do. Healing and how you care for your piercing is the individual's responsibility. And as far as you waiting 45 minutes for him to eat a sandwich?? Are you telling the truth? THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL anyone who works there would ever make a customer wait for them to eat a sandwich!! Caddy Daddy's is very proffessional, sterile, friendly, and has an inviting atmosphere. I have never had a bad experience at this shop. So if you are looking for any of these qualities in a tattoo and piercing parlor, Caddy Daddy's is where you want to go! read more

I LOVEEEEE Caddy daddys. Ive been going here since 2008 to get pierced, and the other day i finally got my first tattoo, and after going to all the other shops in town (of which one shop boss in particular was very rude, and the others were just crazy expensive and charged for odd things) of course i ended up here, getting an AMAZING tattoo, as did my fiance. The price was right, we were taken care of immedialty, getting Joeys (our tattooer) undivided attention. Chris and his team are always super helpful, very attentive, and they take care of their customers very well, all of my piercings are perfect, and me and my fiances tattoos are doing great they look amazing!!! They are clean and professional, the shop has a great vibe, with music, and just overall friendly workers. Ive been recommending people to go here since 2008, and i will certainly continue to do so! read more

I had my nipples pierced by Chris and Lorrie, and besides the pain, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The piercings are straight and healed within 2 weeks! They enclosed me for privacy, and let me take all the time I needed to gather myself after the shock of the pain. That's when I noticed the paintings on the wall and asked them about where they acquired them. I was in luck, because the artist tattoos there! His name is Dan, and he ended up doing a portrait on my thigh the next day. It turned out beautiful, and I paid a very fair price for it. The thing I liked the most is that I never once felt uncomfortable (some other places I looked into seemed stuck up/trendy), and I intend to get my fairytale back piece there as soon as I decide on all the details. read more

I have gone through different piercing parlors in the 530 area and have honestly only really had luck at two places. CADDY DADDY being one of my top two. Chris and Brea (the piercers) are amazing, they communicate and really make you feel "safe". You can reach them via phone or social media, response times are amazing. Whenever I have a question or need help, i'm helped to the best ability possible. Even on their social media they offer many different way they can help, In regards to cleaning, in regards to keloids. Caddy daddy can really help you with it all. I definitely feel like I'm cared for when I go in, and I'm not just a dollar sign. They've assisted me with five piercings, I recommend! read more
