    Went Saturday for a tattoo in honor of my grandma who recently passed. Horacio went above and beyond to make sure it was what I wanted. He was patient and did an amazing job.

    A birthday surprise from a young lady named Josie made my day!! My son surprised me with a Sunflower designed by Josie and added my quote in my handwriting The attention to detail and placement it's perfect! Thank you Josie for helping my son deliver the best birthday present ever

    The girl was definitely knowledgeable about the piercings and how much pain it causes. She made me feel comfortable & calm totally recommend this place.

    Can't complain , it is hard to find but really great artists. I can say Horacio is my guy. Good prices , finishes really fast. Took 4 hours for this piece he is very nice. Polite , we talk nice and clean shop. I mean 5 star all the way that's it by appointment , they take walk ins sometimes.

    She pierced the lower cartilage ring. Gold ring is from Etsy, it was originally pierced with a silver ring.

    Clean and friendly, but I wasn't happy with my placement. We got there when the piercer was on her way out but she was super nice and got set up again to pierce me and my friend's ears. I got a second cartilage piercing (the lower one in the pic). I had gotten it done at a different place before this but it didn't align with my first piercing so I took it out and let it heal. This time I made sure to ask the piercer to place it so the two cartilage rings would be parallel but as you can see in the pic they are at different angles even though they're the same size ring. Overall they were extremely considerate, friendly, clean, and reasonably priced, and you'd definitely be fine getting regular piercings but I don't think they are experienced enough to know how to place more intricate piercings. Sorry to leave a negative review because they were so nice and stayed open late for us and gave us stickers.

    Been wanting a few piercings fOr a while and a spur of the moment trip resulted in a very happy customer x2. Sal did the 2nd earlobe piercing for me and my daughter. Then I got 2 forward helix piercings and my daughter got a middle helix. In a little pain but worth it!

    Excellent customer service, clean location and easy to work with for tattoos. We went back and forth with my design and ended up loving it!

I will never go to another artist again because I found mine. Been to tons of places and seen a bunch of artists and this surpasses em all. Super awesome shop. Everyone is very laid back and just makes you feel comfortable. They operate like a family and make you feel apart of it too. Can't wait for my next one :p

    HORRIBLE at rapport building!! I have never understood the "California" way of doing business,…read moresaying NO to the "little" will lose a small business way more when it comes to the "big." Ventura Nationals, the sign said "live tattoos," when it says live tattoos, I assume that means anything! NOPE! not for Jared Starbard at Bone Deep Tattoos. His chair was empty, I thought hey let me blow some money and get a couple of touch ups done real quick. If he does a good job with the touch ups we can go back to him and get the bigger stuff done, my husband excitedly agreed, let's do this!! NOPE!! Not only did we get the California face of judgmental disgust like I had asked him to kill a small child, his response is, "Oh, you would have to come to the shop for something like that." Something like what?! A 10 minute quick job that I was willing to pay $200 for?! Touch up for two small hearts? I was paying for convenience and hoping to find a new tattoo guy. Way to be a boner killer on something we were excited about. I guess he wanted to have something cooler, more hard core to come sit in his chair that day, maybe a $1000 tattoo would have had him interested. It didn't matter that we could be long term customers who would spend $1000 on tats... nope... he wanted something bigger and better that day. I hope he got it! Thankfully we were able to find another guy who was happy to take our money from a different tat shop. Here's some business sense... If you choose to not take care of people with the small things, they won't trust you for the big things.
