Walking into the studio, my first thought was that I came into the best place in California to get my tattoo done. Not only did the place amaze me with his cool art on the walls, Jacob's work blew me away. Dude!!! My tattoo came out so good!! Every single little detail that I described to him came out as perfect as how I had imagined it. He made my vision come true. This guy has a gift. When you walk into his parlor, just the vibe and his care into the design will instantly make you feel so lucky to have found him. I have a million tattoos, and his is the only one I will show to people first. Thank you so much Jacob. I won't be going anywhere else again. From Hollywood to San Diego, every time! I found him on instagram: jacob_henry87 and firmatattoostudio read more

I've been going to Derek for a couple of years now, and I truly can't recommend him enough. His work is clean, detailed, and consistently amazing. I get SO MANY compliments from my small hand, tattoos all the way to the bold Mandalas he's done up my sleeve . Whether it's a small design or something more intricate, he always takes the time to understand exactly what I want and brings it to life perfectly. The vibe in the studio is always chill and professional too. I feel comfortable every time I'm in the chair. If you're looking for a tattoo artist who's talented, genuine, and consistent, definitely hit up Derek. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my ink and haven't since I was a walk-in a couple years ago and he took me right away. read more

I had an amazing experience getting tattooed here. From the moment I walked in, the studio felt clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Jacob has a lot of amazing work and i went with one of his pieces, and he kept checking in throughout the session to make sure I was happy with the placement and details. The linework is super crisp, the shading is beautiful, and the healing process has been smooth. You can tell they care about their craft and their clients. I left feeling confident, well taken care of. Highly recommend to anyone looking black and white pieces. read more

Went to Chris to get a cover up reworked (from a different artist) and there's such a night and day difference, I don't feel the need to hide or cover the piece anymore.
