Any Artists that specialize in Correction tattoos?

Hi Megan. Yes, most all of us do re-works and cover-up tattoos. You can peep our work online and/or come in to the shop and get situated. You’re in good hands here!

How much are your Friday the 13th tattoos (Oct 13) and can I request a custom SMALL tattoo?

Hi, we are doing 100’s of pre-drawn designs for 10/13. Prices are $80-$300 depending on image. We will be posting artwork/designs as it gets closer. It’s a very busy day so anything custom will need to wait until any other day of the year

Do you do color/ink tests? If so, how much do you charge for them?

No we don’t

Do you guys offer ephemeral tattoos?

No we don’t

Do you do flash tattoos? If so, how much?

We do tattoo “flash” everyday and most all of it is hand painted by us at the shop. Your welcome to come by and check it out on the walls or bring your own design. Price varies by design and placement

Do you guys do nose piercings and how much?

We don’t do any piercings. Tattoos only. Try Barbella next to us

What is Joel's earliest availability and does he have his own pricing?

Apologies for late reply must have accidentally missed this one. Yes Joel works by appointment and you can call the shop or contact him directly (949) 647-7874 Joel@joelbones.com

We design tattoo artwork everyday so swing on through and show us what you got.

Hello! I'm wondering if you are willing to pierce helix's and daith's for a 14 year old? They'll be accompanied by a guardian. Thanks for your help in advance!?

We do tattoos, no piercings. Try Barbella. Thanks

If I send a picture can I get a price?

Send to shop@goldrushtattoo.com

How much for a small tattoo? maybe similar to the size of a small strawberry?

It depends on many things like placement, design and other details. You can come in to the shop and check it out with your design to show us and then we can accurately quote you a price.

Do you have any discounts for current military service members? I'm coming back home for the holidays and I would like to get a tattoo done before I head back out to my duty station

Yes Sir. Come talk to me I’m the owner and can either do the tattoo for you or set you up with desired artist of your choice. Feel free to email if wanted. colin@goldrushtattoo.com Thank you for your service

Do you give discounts to cover up hate/gang tattoos?

No discounts but we do the cover ups right. I do believe some laser treatment centers give some discounts for removal though. Might have to call around to see.

Do you have an expert in cover up tattoos? Fine line black & grey.

Yes there are a handful of us that do a fair amount of cover up tattoos. We also do fine line black and grey tattooing as well but not as cover ups. It’s generally too light and thin to cover anything. It’s subjective so it all depends. Come down to… Read more

A close friend of mine and I came here in January. Getting piercings together was our third stop…read moreduring our girls day in the OC. Unfortunately, parking at The Camp isn't all that great. I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

My appt time was 10:30am on Sat 2/21/26, and they asked me to be there 10 min early, so I was. They checked me in and pointed me to the couches, then just ignored me for 45 min, and finally took me 50 min after my scheduled appt time. No offer for water or coffee/tea, no acknowledgment about the wait (until the very end of my wait). They opened at 10am and weren't doing a damn thing the entire 50 min wait! Two were playing chess when I walked in. When they finally took me, they didn't inquire about my "why" regarding the piece; they just asked for a description and some inspiration examples. They then drew up the design digitally, which was good but not epic. I was only getting black and grey. The price... $2,500 for 8-16 hrs in the chair. Wtf. Even if the piece takes 16 hrs (which I don't think it will), it comes to $156.25 per hr, before tip. Umm, that seems rather steep to me. Their work, from what I've viewed, is good. Studio is professional. Their handling of me for this appointment was offensively impersonal and unprofessional. I will never go back, and hope this review hits a button for them on their lack of care on the customer experience.

Little did we know that we were about to meet the sweetest tattoo artist we could've ever wished for. This was my daughter's first tattoo for her 18th birthday. As a mom you want to make sure that your daughter is in the best of hands. And THAT she certainly was! Charlot immediately made us both feel so comfortable and taken care of. The before and after care was amazing! She always checked in with my daughter to make sure that she was OK during the tattoo. Our conversations flowed, and we both felt so connected to Charlot. It felt as if we just met an angel without wings on earth. Please do not hesitate for one second to choose Charlot at Inc Therapy Studio for your next tattoo.

And he doesn't even know me, but I felt like he knew me. He obviously has the gift of prayer. I was scared of the pain but it was ok actually even without any numbing cream. Anyways he even recommended I shade it in and it became even more beautiful! I know it may seem silly and girlish but I love it!

I have had 11 piercings done total and the ones Jade has done have healed the best, were the least painful, and were placed with incredible accuracy and attention to detail. Jade is so kind, patient, has a great artistic eye, a steady hand, and is super knowledgable. She takes time to answer questions and check in each step of the way. Danny helped touch up and enhance an existing tattoo of mine and was able to restore the intensity of the blank ink and add very intricate detail to a fairly plain tattoo I'd already had. He has a light touch without compromising the longevity of the ink, is an incredible artist, and makes his clients feel at ease. Blue Collar is run with professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, attention to detail, and with a people-first approach. Even though it's a 50-90 minute drive for me, it's my top pick!

Found a few that I liked and went in to get one done. Immediately felt good vibes from the place and was greeted as soon as I entered by MJ. She is the one who did my tattoo and from start to finish it was about 30-45:minutes. It takes alot for me to feel like I get good vibes from someone and I felt like she did a good job. The location was super clean and professional looking. I'm sure this is a respect thing for other artists, but the one I wanted, the artist wasn't there and she woman at the front said artists prefer to not do work from other artists, which I get and it saved me a few hundred from the one I originally wanted. Next time I'm in the area I'm sure I'll come back for something small. Def recommend and thank you MJ!
