Went with my cousins to get inner lip tattoos. First thing is that the placement was really bad, it was her first time ever getting a tattoo so she really didn't know what to say and even if she did the woman that did it doesn't even speak English. We paid 100 dollars each just for hers to come out faded which doesn't seem like 100 dollars worth of work in our opinion. Everyone was pretty close together not much privacy and it seemed like she didn't really know how to do the placement. While doing mine she nearly did the same thing if I didn't speak up about it. With my second cousin her line work was fine but it just came out all slanted, and they kept saying not to pull her lip as much but if she didn't it would've ended up on the edge just like the "$$$" one. read more

Went in for a helix piercing. The person doing it walked in vaping, and did not speak english. It was very hard to communicate what I wanted in terms of placement/jewelery and I did not have my questions answered. After the piercing they did not give me any aftercare instructions. Normally shops schedule a follow up appointment to downsize the bar but I had to find this out through my own research after. I also had to purchase my own saline solution. The actual piercing process was not bad, just the language barrier was difficult to navigate:( and i was not given adequate instruction or information. i'm sure the artists are great at tattoos, just would not come here for piercings. read more

Came to Minzy for a custom tattoo, I found her on instagram and loved her style. She's very sweet and after having a couple of heavy handed artists my last two tattoos, she was a dream to sit for. She's very talented, I highly recommend! The shop is very cool, clean, and a surprisingly large space. read more

I visited on my birthday and called for a walk in to get some piercings. Got a helix and conch piercing. Hector was very nice over the phone and gave me a quote and said he was accepting walk ins until a certain time. I came by, did some paper work. Interior is very clean and welcoming. He made me feel very comfortable for the piercings and sanitized throughout every single step. I'm thinking of getting more from him whenever I'm back in the area! Thanks Hector! read more

I recently went to [Cypher tattoo] for a tattoo and I'm happy to say it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. The artists in this living room are very talented and their attention to detail is outstanding. From the moment I stepped into the living room, I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel welcome and comfortable. The atmosphere inside is relaxed yet professional, creating the perfect atmosphere for a tattoo. The artists I work with take the time to understand my vision and bring it to life in ways that exceed my expectations. Their artistry and skill is evident in every brush stroke, culminating in a beautiful tattoo that I am very pleased with. Hygiene and cleanliness are of the utmost importance. The studios are spotless and the artists follow strict sanitization protocols to ensure a safe and hassle-free experience. I appreciate the comprehensive post-op care instructions provided which helped me properly care for my new tattoo. This is my first tattoo and they patiently answered all my questions and told me how to protect it read more

Had a great experience here at Cypher! Very clean & tidy shop, and the staff are very nice and welcoming. Walked in with a special request: immortalizing the sketch/ autograph from Craig McCracken that I received earlier in the day! Luckily they had walk-ins open, and they provided a quote and estimate time. The artist Albert took a look and knew exactly what to do, got everything set up and started working. Even though it's a fairy sensitive area (inside bicep), he had great technique and it never felt painful or uncomfortable. The finished tattoo is exactly what I was hoping for, capturing every wonky sharpie mark from the original sketch! It's been about a week and everything is healing perfectly, making sure to dress it with the ointment that they provided. Thanks to the team at Cypher, can't wait to go back for more! read more

My boyfriend and I. We got our first tattoo. And this place. And we're more than happy. Hector it's extremely professional and knowledgeable. It was our first time. But he took the time to explain and give us suggestions. We love how our tattoos turned out. Hector is just all around perfect artist and we highly recommend him. read more

I got my first tattoo with Hector, I hesitated for years because of bad stories I heard of art done by beginners, since the minute I walk-in his responses gave the confidence I needed, he is really experienced and did details on the tattoo that shows he is a real pro and loves what he does. He did an amazing job explaining everything and keeps in touch with me to check on the healing process, he always gave me his honest opinion about why some of my ideas wouldn't work on the tattoo, And I'm thankful for that, he was 100% right read more

Really good experience! I went on a Tuesday mid afternoon. I wanted to get some upper lobe ear piercings and re-pierce my nose piercing that I believed was closed. Didn't have an appointment, but I called to check if I could walk in and they said yes! When I arrived, they helped me right away, I signed the form and then they quickly took me back and started. Everything was super clean, sterile, and the piercer tried their best to casually let me know what they were doing while also making a bit of conversation to distract from the process lol. They did a great job piercing - it's straight and it was relatively painless. They offered me some saline spray cleaner (10$) and informed me how to take care of the piercings. It's a little pricy but I think it's fair for the quality of experience. It's similar to what most other tat shops are charging. I paid: $80 for the 2 ear lobe piercings, 20$ for the stud for my nose piercing (they didn't have to re-pierce) that they fit into my old nose piercing for me, and 10$ for saline cleanser spray. So $110+ tip. Overall I'd recommend for someone interested in getting a piercing. It was super clean, quick for a walk-in, the staff was friendly and the piercings were done perfectly! read more

I highly recommend this place. The place is big and very clean and well organized with the type of ambience that would make you feel comfortable and enjoyable during your tattoo session. They got free drinks and two large TVs for customer to watch and relax while getting tattooed. Work quality is top notch, I had my phoenix done by Cypher Tattoo and I'm very very impressed with the work and detail to attention on every stroke. The piece came out beautifully and I can't praise it enough. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for some serious high quality tattoo and great tattoo experience to check them out! read more

Great experience all around. I needed a forward helix piercing removed for an upcoming MRI and found this place on Yelp. Hector confirmed that walk-ins were accepted and quoted me the $20 piercing removal/switching fee when I called, and he helped right away when I arrived. The room was nice and he got it out quickly, cleanly, and comfortably and even bagged my stud then gave me words of encouragement on the way out. Thankful for the skilled and kind service here! read more

Cypher Tattoo - MY BABY IS SO PERFECT! CAME OUT BETTER THAN I EXPECTED! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! - Tattoo Near Me - Alhambra, California

I came in to get an upper arm tattoo from the main artist, which took about three sessions. The first two sessions went well, but the last session felt rushed. The tattoo overall came out looking very sloppy like an irezumi from Wish. The tattoo costed over 3k with tip; you would expect quality work for that price. But it was not the case for me. The photos on the artist's IG are pretty filtered, which makes it deceiving. I now have to spend several thousands more to remove this slop from my arm. I severely regret ever coming here. read more
