LAWRENCE (FERAL EYES) IS A GENIUS & HIDDEN COAST IS THE…read moreBOMB You have just one body. If you're going to modify it, do yourself a favor and contact Lawrence at Hidden Coast. It's one of the best decisions you'll ever make. I have been tattooed by him since 2017. I'm one of his most heavily-tattooed clients (by HIM) who has had the honor of wearing his incredible art. While I could go on, and on, and on, (and on, and on, and on...) about both Lawrence and the shop, I think most people don't want to have to sift through a novel on Yelp. So this is the SUPER abbreviated version. SOME THINGS ABOUT LAWRENCE / WHAT TO EXPECT ~ he's one of the most talented tattoo artists on the face of this planet. (This is not an exaggeration. You'll see.) ~ Lawrence is a badass ... a really, really kind badass ~ super friendly & easy-going. Gives off good energy. ~ ultra professional ~ a genuine pleasure to be with -- even for about 6+ hours (I'm an awkward introvert, and actually enjoy chatting with him for hours) ~ not a sadist. He's empathetic and actually cares if you're in pain. (He'll regularly check in with you to make sure you're okay.) ~ legitimately crazy smart, well read, cultured, and wise ~ a perfectionist ~ willing to make changes to a drawing to ensure you are getting EXACTLY what you want ~ an impressive hummer to the shop music WHAT'S HIDDEN COAST LIKE? ~ squeaky clean ~ hygiene and safety is clearly at the tip-top of the shop priority list ~ bright, airy, and temperature comfortable ~ not one speck of dust ~ there's an ATM right there in the shop ~ everyone is uber professional. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. ~ not ONE creep in the shop LINKS Lawrence is simply incredible. Full stop.

I have paid him over $4k worth of tattoos, i tip him 20-30% every single time on top of it, and he decided to raise my prices instead of lowering them for my loyalty... and his MFing mistakes!! I have seen him now 4 different sessions for a simple arm shading and it is still messed up! This single shading has now cost me over $1,000 and still looks like dogshit! Legit looks like a damn prison tattoo not a professional tattoo. The last time i saw him we scheduled a session to fix his mistakes and he charges me $150 for 30 minutes of fix up work. The arm still is not right his shading is still off and it still looks like dogshit. Dont waste your money go to a different shop.

It looks great! Tivon is also a talented painter and works in a variety of media, all of which informs his tattoo work. No doubt Tivon is a talented guy, but he also possesses the other qualities of a good tattoo artist. He communicates well and is easy to talk to. You will understand every step of the process, and don't be afraid to ask questions. If you're a little nervous, or looking to get your first tattoo; or, if you are a veteran of many, Tivon would be a very good choice. He gets my highest recommendation. Jeff Davis

I got my first piercing (nose) done here a little over a year ago. I was 13 and still terrified…read moreof needles. Funny, right? I had looked up other places but all of them were either closed or didn't do piercings like i thought they did. Since my mom works in Rohnert Park, she was sick of driving around searching for a place to get pierced. So I finally found Fifth Sun close to her office. We walked in and were introduced by a large bald man with multiple tattoos, even on his head. I don't recall him actually telling us his name. He seemed kind of distant, but other than that was very friendly and helpful. He took us upstairs where he would be piercing me. Keep in mind I am terrified of needles, so it took me a good 20 minutes just to sit in the chair after crying for about 5 of them. He didn't judge me and was very nice. When i didn't like the original placement of the piercing, he erased the mark gladly and redrew it until i was satisfied. He laughed along with us as my mom made fun of me, but was in no way rude. It hurt more than expected but he was very nice. After, he told me everything i would need to care for my piercing. After a few months my nose formed a lump around the piercing. Me being 13, i was self conscious and tried to get rid of it. I took the piercing out before it was ready and it had already begin to close. I was very upset, but my mom was kind enough to take me back to Fifth Sun to get it tapered as he called it. He told me the lump i had was just scar tissue that had formed around it and i could have gotten rid of it with salt and tee tree oil. This time I went alone to get my nose repierced. I was terrified. It was the same man as before. He laughed with me, and let me practically claw at his arm while he pierced me without any attitude. It hurt pretty bad to get it tapered, but I'm glad I did it. He was very understanding about the whole situation and was kind. He then stuck my piercing right back in and told me what I needed to do if the scar tissue ever reformed. It happened a couple more times, but with the proper care it went away within 2 weeks and I haven't had a lump in probably 9 months. Overall a great experience and I would recommend it to any teenage girl who wants to pee themselves at the sight of a needle. I am now 15 and still very satisfied with my piercing. Great place to go for first timers.
