    Super professional, kind, and clean. Rad vibe. Justin is an incredible artist and has amazing attention to detail. Definitely going back

    Amazing experience. Cool vibe. Very professional and talented artists. Would highly recommend. Appointments are recommended.

    Walk-in Sparrow with shading.

    I cannot recommend Dana Point Tattoo enough, these guys are professional, friendly, and very good at what they do. Nick Cetrangolo ( IG @seasick_nick ) was helping me out today and was informative about how to find his work on Instagram. Considering this was a walk-in, Nick was prepared and very intentional about his quality of work! I will be back 100%

    First tattoo!

    My friend and her sister got their tattoos here. After looking at Justin's work on instagram and close examination of my friend's, I concluded that I wanted my tattoo done by him, too. My boyfriend and I decided on our designs and then emailed Justin. He was quick to email us back and tell us when to come in for a consoltation. The drive here is a bit brutal; I live about an hour away from here. The drive here is straight forward until tou get near the tattoo place. The parking lot is in the back and I do not recommend parking on the curb. The consoltation was quick and easy. Justin asked us where we wanted our tattoos, what deisngs, sizes, and we made an appointment with him. Of course we had to make a deposit as well, not a problem. About 3 weeks later, my boyfriend and I go get our tattoo. Justin is a great artist and he is very calm and confident in his work. He made it painless for me and was very professional. His work was clean and he was mindful that it was our first time getting tattoos. He finished our tattoos faster than we thought, but was very skilled and detailed. The shop overall is clean and all the artists are dope and down to Earth. I highly recommend this place for mixtures of color and line work.

    This review is for Justin! I've been following Justin on Instagram for awhile and have always been obsessed with his work and style. I saw that he posted he was booking for September so I immediately emailed him and sent him my deposit locking in my appointment with him for the 26th. I didn't ask about pricing because honestly the price doesn't matter, I was just super stoked I managed to get an appointment in haha plus my birthday was the 24th so it was a birthday gift to myself! Anyways fast forward to the appointment. The shop itself was super nice. I love how they decorated it. Everything was extremely clean and well organized. According to my friend who came along, "they have the cleanest bathroom ever I was stoked" Haha. Justin was SUPER friendly and easy to talk to which put me at ease. Very accommodating to whatever needs I needed aka needing to stretch, reposition myself, bathroom, etc. I also loved that he was super light handed! The entire session was about 5 hours but it honestly went by with a breeze. I've never felt so comfortable with an artist before, definitely can't wait to get other work done by him! I loved that I gave him the idea of what I wanted and he exceeded my expectations. He showed me the sketch and told me he'd add detail as he goes and I'm SO OBSESSED. The detail was incredible. I'm in love with this piece and can wait to shove my leg in everyone's face to annoyingly show it off

    Where's the 6-star button on this thing? Being tattooed at Dana Point Tattoo by Matt Tischler was so fun and chill, and he's a professional to boot. The new studio is pristine and pretty, but you're gonna have to make sure you open the correct door to the left of the Dana Point window sign since they're in close quarters with a piercing shop. With booking an appointment with Matt, he accepts submissions through email and is fully booked for months at a time, but I will tell ya, he is 1,000% worth the wait because he will adorn you with an exceptional work of art. Not to mention, he's also extremely attentive and hilarious, and gives some solid relationship advice (seriously). Thanks for a memorable time, guys. I WILL see you again in the not so distant future!

    Amazing tattoo by Nick Cetrangalo

    Amazing Amazing Amazing! This was my first tattoo. I spent 12 months deciding on my design and which artist I would work with. I met with many and ultimately met Nick Cetrangalo of Dana Point Tattoo. Nick as a person: I found other artists to be arrogant, where it was about what they wanted and not what I wanted. Nick was the first and only one to sincerely want to understand and create it as I wanted. He was patient, kind and made me feel like we had been friends for years. What is now permanent is not only this incredible tattoo, but the lifelong memory of the great experience I had. What a great personality and such a warm person! Talent: I'm one of the 4 types of OCD: (Symmetry, Arranging, Counting, and needs to be Perfect.) With that kind of hard to please OCD, I still wonder why I would take the ultimate risk of having something permanent on my body. Part of what took me a year to decide was the doubt I had in the many artists I interviewed. I saw examples of Nick's work of 20 years experience and how passionate he was about Quality over Quantity. I was so impressed, I took the chance with him. As he asked me about the vision I had for the design, I was amazed to see how he was creating it on the spot. Absolutely incredible and what a talented artist. I told him that I would know it when I see it and in a relatively quick amount of time, I saw it and so excited. I sat down in the chair with total confidence and let Nick do his thing. He checked in with me often to make sure I was feeling okay and we or I even watched a Netflix movie on the shop big screen. Nick is a quality artist and has the perfect combination of talent, personality and desire to provide exactly what I wanted. Dana Point Tattoo is a Quality vs. Quantity shop. All of of the artists are of the highest quality, experience and skill set. Each will have their own specialties and Nick was my guy. Needless to say, I highly recommend him. Thank you Nick!

    great place to go, got a tattoo from them about 2 months ago, healed beautifully and still so in love with it now. The staff is awesome and are so helpful. My artist was Ivan and he was very good about the placement of my tattoo and making sure that I was super comfortable. If you are getting your first tattoo, I would recommend this place 100%.

    My cousin and I came here for her to get a tattoo, we walked in and it was just about closing time. She just wanted a quick tattoo.... well 4 hours later her and I walked out with beautiful art from Nick... it has been several months and our tattoos look as fresh as the day he did them. I get so many compliments on my sunflowers I absolutely love my tattoo... thank you Nick... I'm thinking up another super special tattoo to memorialize my parents and you are just the guy I want to do it for me!!

    What an awesome experience!!! Jake was so creative and fun to have my tattoo done. The DPT shop is clean, friendly and so professional. I came in with one design that I wasn't super thrilled with, and asked Jake his opinion-he offered to create some designs and let me choose- OMG I love it!!! Best place to go, and did I mention I was just passing thru on my vacation? I highly recommend Jake and the rest of the crew at DPT!

    Simple, clean, and just what I wanted. Thank you!
