    Started my sleeve

    I've gotten tattooed by Willy B a couple times when he was in Thousand Oaks. Best believe I will follow him to his new shop. He's very professional and talented at what he does.

    Handmade Tattoo is the best! I will only get tattooed here. Pops did my olive branch tattoo about 2 years ago and recently did some dainty little ladies on my husband. They both turned out perfect. The employees here are serious about their cleanliness, which I really appreciate and find very professional. He's super experienced and never disappoints! They are thorough with aftercare and prices are very reasonable/worth it. The inside of the shop is crazy cool, decorated with unique thrift store finds, antiques, and flea market goodies. I can't recommend this place enough. Their talent, authenticity, and professionalism really do make it Santa Paula's first and finest!

    I have gotten all my tattoos from handmade tattoo. Pops, the owner & all of the Handmade Tattoo staff are amazing. The space is clean and welcoming and I will always recommend this business. Every experience I have with each appointment tops the last, you can tell this business runs on love and community and family. Thank you pops and team for having such a great space in our community. I will always recommend this gem to others and will not choose any other tattoo shop!

    My experiences at Handmade Tattoo have been nothing short of pleasant! I've gotten tattooed by Miss Emily a couple of times and I fully intend on going back to her again. It's very clear that she is extremely passionate, talented, and dedicated to what she does. :) She responds to any inquiries and messages fairly quickly and is thorough in communication. Her flash sheets/original artwork SLAPS btw lol I'd get more of it on my body if I could I haven't had the chance to personally meet any of the other staff members but the past couple time I've come in, everyone was so welcoming! Great atmosphere all around :)

    Emily is a STAR worth the drive from LA. By far the best tattoos I have. The shop is clean and overall gives good vibes. Could not recommend a place more.

    Handmade Tattoo has to be one of the best shops in the county for sure. The owner Pops is an amazing person that not only makes the tattoo experience fun and exciting but also invests into the community. Pops is always using his social media platform to spread awareness of local businesses and those who work in his shop. I'd highly recommend him for his great work and personality. Through Handmade I met Emily who has done a majority of my work. Whether its some whacky idea I have or something from her flash sheet she doesn't miss. Her line work is immaculate along her personality and how comfortable she makes the entire process. I usually let her have full creativity when it comes to an idea I give her but she is no stranger to being good with making changes to ensure the tattoo is perfect for you. On daily basis I get people complimenting my pieces specifically my knee Emily did for me. If you're interested in getting a tattoo this is the place to go to whether it be your first or 100th tattoo. Everyone in the shop is super friendly and make you feel part of the community.Handmade. Not to mention they do Walk in Wednesdays! @handmadetattoosp @emilytaylorink @artbypops

    I've been going to Jamie Thompson for awhile now. She's done 3 large pieces on me and does some amazing work! I'm so pleased. The shop is clean and the artists are very friendly!

    Ok, so I am really bad at writing reviews, but after seeing the one star review, I realized that someone might actually believe that malarkey. Where's your picture of your overpriced crooked tattoo? Anyways, time for actual facts. Pops is a magician. FACT. My husband and I both had two tattoos done by Pops. He did a cover up on both of us as well as finished the work that two other tattoo artists had started on us. Let me also say that I had no affiliation or ties to Pops prior to walking into his shop for my first tattoo with him. He was recommended by my hairdresser. Obviously four pieces later, I know him a lot better. He's a super chill guy, that is willing to work with you to create a piece that you will love. Now let's talk about the tattoos. Both pieces I had done were very large (See pictures). Pops prices were very reasonable. I have tattoos that are third of the size, that cost more. So when I read that one star review, I honestly could not believe they were saying that his tattoos were Overpriced. But enough about that bogus review and back to talking about Pops. The other thing I love about Pops is how versatile he is. When you walk into his shop you might think he can only do traditional or flash art, but look at our tattoos, his range of work is amazing. Honestly, I was even nervous about asking him to do my tree because I didn't see anything in his shop that was close the style that I wanted. But, he totally nailed it. Moral of the story, I love my tattoos. My husband loves his tattoos. Pops is a magician. The end.

    Beautiful shop. I've gotten tattooed by Emily twice now, and both times she's done such an amazing job. Very happy to have such a talented shop nearby.

    Emily is amazing, she's the only person I let tattoo me. She is an amazing artist, most of the time all I do is tell her my idea for a tattoo and she takes it away and creates amazing designs! Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is also an amazing person, always making me and my friends who have gone to her as well feel safe and taken care of. The space itself is also super cool, they always have great music!

    Emily (@emilytaylorink) is the best.!! She's professional, an amazing artist and a great lady. She has orginal designs or will work with your designs. I've had her do many of my tattoos and I will only let her tattoo me. I strongly recommend her. I get many compliments on the work she's done. And you'll never see yours on anyone else. Here are a few she's done for me. Give her a call you'll be glad you did!!

    Just a couple of the pieces done at handmade

    I've gotten all my work done at handmade tattoo. The shop is very clean, as well as beautiful. Getting a tattoo is not Something you want to get just anywhere, I highly recommend Pops, he is truly one of the bests!

    Highly recommend anyone looking for a piercing to come here…read more Sue is super sweet and is so good. Came here Friday the 13th to get an industrial piercing. Getting pierced was as painless as can be. She was super nice instructing me to breathe while getting the piercing. Since getting it my piercing has been healing super well. With my previous piercing, it did get infected so super thankful for Sue taking the proper precautions to help my healing. Have other piercings in mind and I will definitely be coming back for more.

    Friday the 13th and 2/13 Galentine's calls for tats and piercings . I had been wanting new…read morepiercings for awhile and my good friend , thankfully had been wanting one too. Piercings were 20% off. There were flash tats for $80, I believe. Sue was awesome ! The piercings ( I got two) didn't hurt. It's been a few days now and I can say they're healing well. Compared to getting my lobes pierced with a piercing gun, going to Sue is a world of difference. I'll be back for more ... even if a little bit more than going to a Claire's. I love the look of a ton of studs on my ears .. so many more to come! The shop is cool. Not very huge - you felt comfortable as staff is welcoming / nice. I drove from Oxnard to get pierced here as I had been following Sue for a bit on Instagram. She's also a great artist and has the best personality, is professional, keeps her station clean and her hands are light when piercing! Highly rec!
