Great job very nice and clean. Ciarra was very professional and was a good conversationalist while getting my new ink helping me keep my mind off the pain.

Nape piercing
Laly G.

Came in with my sister to get my nape piercing and her tongue pierced. We were nervous because there were no reviews on this place. I am incredibly honored to be the first one because this place rocks. We were pierced by Potts and he was so sweet and gentle and talked so calmly about what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. The shop was very clean and the procedures themselves were very quick! The ENTIRE staff is so friendly. Whether your going in for a piercing or a tattoo, you will not be disappointed with the customer service. The shop is so cute has purple walls and they play great music! It's entirely pop punk inspired.

Decided to get my 1st tattoo after having a life changing experience at a retreat in Jamaica. Researched and found Forbidden Anchor in Palm Desert. Went for an initial consultation with Sean, the owner and master artist. I showed him my idea and he took it and made it a lot cooler and better. Went for the actual tattoo a week ago and for someone who never thought they would ever get inked, it was a great experience. The whole process took about 2 hours from start to finish. Sean showed me his sketch, I loved it and we got started. For somheone who 2 hours from start to finish. Sean showed me his sketch, I loved it and we got started. For somheone whoh has a very low tolerance to pain, it was very tolerable..I got the tattoo on my upper arm so I know the pain isn't as bad as on some parts of the body. The experience: Great music, Clean Studio, Relaxed atmosphere. Sean is an expert and did an amazing job. When done, he wrapped the tattoo with Saniderm. I kept it on for 6 days and the tatoo looks great! Not sure I will get another one, but I would recommend Sean and Forbidden Anchor to anyone!

Done by Ciarra

Went and had Ciarra do a memorial piece for my mama yesterday. She did an absolutely AMAZING job. It's my mama's handwritten with her ashes in every color. Can't wait to schedule more

Sean and his staff do an amazing job I've not only making you feel comfortable and welcome in their shop but by also doing top-notch work at a fair price. Forbidden Anchorage does not get enough credit for their Stellar service and business. I cannot wait to return!

Name cover up, birth month flowers for my kids and grandkids. Amazing!

Sean is amazing. I have found my artist. All I need to do is say some words and he creates what I said on my skin. Absolutely recommend.

I am so hoping my pic uploads get rid of the one that pops up currently! Because it is NoT a proper…read morerepresentation of the place. At all. I had gone back and forth with Chris, the owner, who was one of the nicest and quickest to reply to me..in the entire area!! Back story, I actually had written a message to one tat shop and for some reason it sent to like five. Anyhow it was Bloodline that got back to me immediately and was also waaay less arrogant than the other places I dealt with. And I appreciate that, it's how I work! Get back to me, communicate professionally and don't be an ass. Too old for that shit! Anyhow, night of my appt. Now this is the first work I've gotten since I was 22(?). So I was excited, hoped it would go well, etc. Got to the shop. It was a little busy. But this is how it goes. It's art, not assembly line work. I waited quite a while. People complain on here a bit about that. Ya kinda have to go with it though. It's to be expected in certain arenas of life. So chalk it up as part of the experience and just enjoy getting to know the scene at your maybe new shop. I enjoyed it personally. Now I was seen by Fernando. He was absolutely the sweetest thing and the best person I could have asked for. Especially considering it had been a while since I had work done. It had been a long day. I had eaten a lot of edibles too. Haha And I felt totally comfortable with him. He's personable and an amazing artist. I will definitely get more work done by him and make that my excuse to visit the area. I'm going to add that I went through a total allergic coughing fit like a total dork and he was totally patient and dealt with my non stop cough attacks. So if you want someone who will make you feel at home in his chair and do amazing work, ask for Fernando! (Not dissin the others! I'm sure they're all fab!) Anyhow, I had a great experience and I am very pleased with the work. The price. Etc. Etc. Thanks Bloodline and Fernando aka picazotat2.com !! Picazotat2

After coming in the shop owner Chris Reyes stated that he would like me to come back the next day at 11am so he can have more time to prep. I agreed and gave the $100 deposit. Come the next day at my appointment time and the shop is locked/closed. I call the artist 12 times with no response. I call the shop number and I get someone who only answers the phone calls and he says he doesn't know where Chris is. I waited 50 minutes to receive my deposit back at least since Chris no showed my appointment. I come back around 1:30 to see if the shop is opened and still no one there. Customers coming trying to come into the shop and driving away due to no one being there. I'm still waiting on my deposit back and I will attach the screenshots. On the front door it says they open the shop at 9am. Apple Maps says they open at 12 pm but the owner makes an appointment with me at 11am. Make it make sense.

Nice set up, very clean. I decided to get a Palm Tree. Daniel was the artist who assisted me. He showed me the Palm Tree designs he had, and he guesstimated a size that ended up being perfect. After the placement sample I decided to get it. It costed $150, definitely over priced from what I'm use to paying in LA, but I just bit the bullet. It took him about 10mins to get set up. Once he was all set up I headed over and he got down to business. During the actual tattoo I was skeptical because the results were not looking like the initial image I had agreed on BUT the aftermath was nice. Pain was like a 6/10. The shading is what hurt the most. I did ask him to lengthen the leaves a little because I didn't see the full vision. Daniel was personable, the shop played good music. Overall I do like the placement and the tattoo, I do have a few spots that needed more shading but I'm hoping after it heels it is less noticeable. Daniel let me know about aftercare, bandaged me up. The next day the area around the tattoo was super puffy. But I'm sure with time that will go down.

He sat me in chair and I watched him mix paints and watch a movie till 10:45 am. When he finally started he too long breaks in between him inking me with gun. During one of these long pauses with nothing going on, I look up to see him watching TV. It was really bad service, I thought someone was going to pop out and say I have been punked. After 3hrs I asked him if he was close to be done, he told me it would be at least another 1 hour. I told him I would have to come back. I just needed to get out of there. Against my better judgement I went back. He made sure to collect the money prior to even starting which I found was a little weird, but I paid $160. I was hoping he was just having a bad day. However, I wasn't so lucky. Once again, I watched him mix paints for almost an hour, while watching a movie. This 3" tatto was taking too long, after 1.5 hours I told him I needed a break. I took the opportunity to actually run to my car and not look back. At this point, I didn't care where he was at with the tattoo. When I got home my boyfriend took these pictures. Picture is worth a thousand words. Do not go to Inkfamy!

Finally made it to the new shop! It was totally random. I saw they were doing a Friday the 13th…read moreflash sale and thought, "No, yeah. I'm doing that right now." I got there around 3:30, put my name on the waitlist, and by about 6:30 I was in the chair. Honestly, that's pretty fast considering some people had been waiting since noon. From what I could tell, the event was a success. They had 30 slots and filled 29 of them. The artist who tattooed me, Fiona, was actually the one who drew the flash I chose, which made it even better. The session went quickly, but she never rushed -- it was super chill. I was literally starting to fall asleep if it weren't for my phone blowing up with texts. Fiona was EXCELLENT. I'm absolutely coming back to have her do another traditional piece. I really love these flowers. And honestly, I trust Sacred Black Ink completely. I feel like no matter who I book with, I'm going to get consistently great work.

The second time, I just came by to pop in on my sister-in-law while she was getting tattooed. During that visit, I mentioned wanting to get my dog Skye tattooed on me, and from that conversation, I knew right away that Tuchies was the artist I wanted for such a meaningful piece. The portrait of Skye came out absolutely phenomenal. It's so detailed and lifelike, it feels like he's peeking out of a photo. Skye is still very much alive and my whole world, so this tattoo is a celebration of him that I get to carry forever. The shop itself is welcoming, professional, and has such a great vibe. Both times I've been here, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for an artist who can take your vision and not only bring it to life but elevate it beyond expectations, Tuchies is the one! 10/10 I will be back for more ink!
