    I have gotten two pieces from Rachel and both experiences were wonderful. The first piece was an addition to an already existing tattoo. Her attention to detail and artistic eye married the two pieces together perfectly. The second piece was another addition to the existing which she blended in seamlessly. Her artwork is amazing and her calm and professional demeanor made for a quality experience. I cannot wait to go back for more! Besides the obvious, the shop is clean, everything is held to a high medical grade standard, etc., etc. - the whole shop puts out amazing work. And the vibe is definitely desirable. Awesome playlists and custom artwork confirms that the artists are not just artistic, they have genuine taste, which is a highly sought after quality in the tattoo industry.

    I get tattooed here by Mike Manson. I highly recommend him if you like to talk to your artist and have a good hang. That said I'd put my name out for all the artists in the shop. I've seen them all crush work and they're all incredibly kind and talented people who take pride in their work.

    Rachel did such an amazing job on my Geisha!!! I am so happy with how it turned out. She's so kind and very easy to get along with. This shop is very welcoming and clean too. Will definitely be coming back!!!

    Ronnie is all around AMAZING. His artwork is great, his blackwork is fantastic, he himself is awesome. He will forever be my go to tattoo artist. I'm going to be so bummed once my sleeve is finished, I truly enjoyed my time at the shop. 10/10 will always recommend

    Still in progress. But loving how it looks! Ronnie Grizard is an awesome artist!

    I am writing this review during quartine to inform Imperious Rex of how much I miss you guys and how bad I am craving my next tattoo from Ronnie!! Can't wait to hear that you guys have open back up again so I can schedule my next appt asap! Much love and hope all is well!

    I had my second tattoo with Ronnie recently and it turned out exactly how I had pictured. It especially meant a lot to me as it's a piece I had done in honor of my Aunt that is fighting pancreatic cancer. I showed my Aunt and it brought tears to her eyes. I'll be back after the holidays for my next piece. Thank you!

    Just the beginning

    My wife and I have been going ever since our first experience with Pat. We came in trying to finish my sleeve, due to military regs changing. We asked him if he could do it and he said "I can, but why fill in crappy tribal when I can just cover your entire arm?" We've been addicted to the shop and love everyone! It truly feels like family. Between the two of us, we are almost done with our goal of getting at least one from everyone in the shop. We highly recommend coming, whether your tattoo idea is simple or complex. The artists are not afraid to suggest if another one is better at a certain style. All in all, they are awesome!

    Jesso Lange did the back of my legs and I couldn't be happier!

    This review should have been posted quite a while ago so I apologize. I chose Jesso Lange as a tattoo artist because I love her feminine style. I presented a vague idea to her and entrusted her with the details. I was overjoyed at the end result. She is a beautiful person and it shines through in her art. She is thoughtful and a true pleasure to be tattoo'd by. Although she is often booked a while in advance she is well worth the wait. I have been to a handful of shops to receive tattoos over the years and this is by far the cleanest and most professional I have ever been to. The lovely ladies who work reception are the most kind and courteous I have ever encountered at a tattoo shop. I highly recommend Jesso and this shop!

    This new shop is beautiful! The ceilings have a very elegant look to them, reminds me of the ceiling at the fox theater in Oakland. The walls are decorated with amazing artwork and the shop has an overall chill vibe. One if the nicest shops I've seen in the area. Now on to the artist They all do fantastic art and you can tell they love what they do. I had the privilege to be tattoo by jesso. Shes seriously amazing! She was quick, but also didn't rush anything. Shes friendly and thats exactly what i wanted in an artist. We talked the whole session (only took an hour) and that made me feel at ease. I will recommend her and this shop to everybody who's looking to get a new tattoo!

    Great new location with some of the most talented artists in Northern California. My artist is Harley and once again he never ceases to amaze with his speed, skill, and ability to freehand custom tattoos right onto your body. The new shop is in a great location and I advise anyone wanting a quality tattoo to check out all the artists working there!

    Just got my second tattoo a few days ago from Pat. He did an AMAZING job. He was very nice, very willing to answer questions, and was very skilled when it came to giving me the tattoo. Overall he's a very sweet guy who I recommend going to. My tattoo is healing well, so far no complications. I'm very pleased! As for the rest of the shop-it was very, very clean, everyone was very nice and very willing to help you out if you had any questions. I LOVE that they had a TV playing a movie while you're in there. It helps distract you from the pain of getting a tattoo-it also just contributed to the fun, friendly vibe of the whole place. Definitely recommend! Will go back if I ever have another tattoo idea and remember to tip well.

    Got the "paint" look for this finger paint handprint PERFECT, Harley Haslem did an amazing job, ready to get next one from him.

    Got 1 part of my tattoos done by Harley Haslem, he did an amazing job, it was a finger paint handprint of my wife, he got it to exactly she put the hand print on my leg herself!!!

Fast forward to Christmas Eve, I text her and said, "Let's go the day after Christmas. No excuses." I searched for a tattoo shop with good reviews and found Lucky Buddha Tattoo. Since it was Christmas Eve night, I couldn't get ahold of anyone (understandably), so we decided to just try our luck the next day. The shop is located off San Juan and Madison, which can be a busy area, but there's parking right out front... huge win. When we walked in, we were greeted by their apprentice, Sophia, who was incredibly sweet and welcoming. We explained what we wanted and hoped we could get it done that day. Our original idea was to place the tattoo on the palm area, but Sophia was very transparent about how ink usually doesn't hold well there. She suggested an alternative placement that still worked perfectly with our vision. After discussing the price, we decided to go for it. Luckily, she had availability right then and there. She was so patient, making every tweak and edit we asked for without hesitation or attitude Absolute gem. While she was designing, we hung out up front and got some unexpected puppy therapy! their sweet pit bull wandered over and decided my friend was her chosen human. She jumped right into her lap and chilled, which was especially adorable since my friend is normally scared of big dogs. Instant icebreaker. The entire vibe of the shop was warm, friendly, and chill. The owner even came out and chatted with us for a bit, which just added to the good energy. Once we finalized the design, Sophia got to work. She had a gentle hand, and each tattoo only took about 20 minutes. We walked out beyond happy. the tattoos came out perfect, and the experience was even better. Thank you Sophia, for your awesome work! I'll definitely be coming back for my next one.

    I absolutely adore my tattoo from my artist (Ashley). She did such a wonderful job and I recommend…read moreif you ever need a tattoo to go try out Lucky BuddhaTattoo the facility is very clean very welcoming. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel at home. Great prices.

The building itself has a really cool history, and the inside of the shop looks incredible. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride not only in the space, but in the team they've built. Eli Rushing was my artist, and he took me as a walk-in. I came in wanting to get my newborn son's footprints tattooed on each side of my Tree of Life. We bounced around a few ideas and landed on a design I was really excited about. Eli absolutely nailed it. We had great conversation throughout the session, and once it was done, I was genuinely blown away by the finished piece. On a whim, I also asked if he'd be willing to touch up some faded Hawaiian islands I have on my other arm, and he didn't hesitate. He was happy to do it, which I really appreciated. The pricing was very fair, and I tipped well because I felt he absolutely deserved it. That was fully my choice, just based on the quality of the work and the overall experience. Everyone coming through the shop was friendly, talkative, and welcoming. Even the shop hand stood out--she was constantly making sure the artists had what they needed and was great with customers. You can see why this place has won so many awards. The shop and the artists absolutely live up to that reputation. Thankfully I live less than a mile away, because I'll definitely be coming back for future work. Thanks Eli and thanks Honeymoon Tattoo for such a great experience!

    first, I'm going to say Ross who works at this facility is an awesome tattoo artist. I took my…read moredaughter to see him and he gave her her first tattoo. I also have a friend who has received a few tattoos from him. He was fair, culturally appropriate, and made the experience enjoyable for all involved. I arrived to my session 15 minutes late (different artist) However, the tattoo artist did not pull me back until 45 minutes after my initial arrival time. The sketch he showed me the day before ended up being the final draft, when he put the stencil on me and of course I did not like it, I vocalized it, as I sat in the chair, thinking we'd have a conversation about changes... he began to reprimanded me like I was a child!!! I have six tattoos, I have never been more offended, walking into a place to work with a person. It's like he was trying to get a rise out of me (not who I am, sir) When I tried to approach it maturely (asking open-ended questionsand for clarity), he continued to make it inappropriate and uncomfortable (in front of others and attempting to adding colleagues to the discussion) using the excuse of "this is permanent, then I have a family to feed, and last you seem unsure" as his way out of doing the tattoo as opposed to just telling me he didn't wanna work with me. I felt embarrassed, vulnerable, rejected, and dismissed by this man... I have never cried at a tattoo parlor previously, and I will never be back to this one. He said that he was trying not to make my experience worse!!!!! While making it the worst experience I have ever had... he was culturally inappropriate, passive aggressive, and he was clearly offended by my dislike of the sketching he was using as a final draft to put on my arm. Even when I showed him another version of something that I wanted, he made a big deal out of it and then started talking about time. What an inconsiderate human... I even tried to leave him the deposit I put down for my tattoo because of his need to feed his family. Fortunately, they gave it back to me. This is my truth it is valid ... the end... how many black people do you see in the photos (many???) and when you are the owner asking people to be on your side of course they will they work with you dude.

It's also a lot closer than the other shop I was used to going to. Fallen Angel is a tattoo shop and the set up inside is gorgeous. I liked how the tattoo stations were set up facing the windows and the clients getting tattoos had movies playing for a nice distraction. There didn't seem like much room, but maybe it was (since I'm not the expert, lol). Everyone looked comfortable! We met Shannon! She walked out with gorgeous long purple & blue hair and a big smile. I instantly loved her personality! After introductions, she went to go sanitize the room so we could all get pierced. One by one and we watched each other all get pierced, Shannon took her time with each of us. We all did something different. My daughter got a floating halo, her grandmother got a flat, I think??

How funny is my daughter that as I decided on the conch, she whispers the word "ouch" to me before I was pierced, lol! Yeah it hurt, but it also felt great! Shannon was quick with it and handled my ear worth care. Shannon also explain to each of us the process of keeping it clean daily, a few times a day with saline. We all took it like Champs! I am super happy with mine! This is definitely my go-to shop to get pierced from now on!
