    While on vaca in Cali, my God-Daughter and I decided to get memorial tattoos. We did some research and came across Emo @ Inkyard Tattoo. Emo is great! The tattoos we created had a lot of intricate line work and this dude is a pro!!! The shop is relaxed and eclectic, his prices are reasonable and he is on top of the game when it comes to creativity and sanitation. Trust me, Emo will not disappoint you! Inkyard Tattoo gets four stars

    Was at the deck in laguna and me and my cousins decided to get a random small tattoo before they left for their flight back home. Called another place down the street but they were not accommodating at all. Called Inkyard and spoke with Emo and he was all for helping us out. We got there and told him what we wanted and how it was their first time. Long story short he made us feel important and explained the entire process and how long he thought it would take. He free drew all three of our matching tattoos and they came out AMAZING. I know it's tiny but I've been getting compliments on it ever since.

    Emo went out of his way to accommodate my needs. I am from southern Florid and wanted a tattoo while on a business trip. Emo has a light steady hand. His lines are a thing of beauty. I couldn't be happier with my new tattoo. THANKS Emo! I'll be back the next time I'm in town.

    Emilio is one of the best tattoo artists out there! I would give him more stars if yelp let me. He is literally amazing! I have been going here for about a year and a half now and will never go to anyone one else. He is only person I trust with my work, I have only had some bad work done before and emilio was there to save the day. His line work is absolutely incredible, the details I have. Couldn't be happier to say i have found the only person I will ever need to go to for my tattoos. Highly recommend

    Emo is artist with 20+ years of experience and takes his craft seriously. My wife wanted a large tattoo on her leg placed over an oddly shaped birth mark. She brought in a basic pic and Emo elevated the graphic to a whole other level. His lines, color, detail, and shading are so impressive and he works within your budget.

    The original idea for my son's tattoo - my son made some modifications

    A friend of mione referred us to Emo and I went online to review his work, which was excellent with all positive reviews. I was looking to get my last tattoo and my son was getting his first. Mine was reletively siple, where my son's was extremely intricate with a lot of detail. Emo responded immediately and we set up an appointment with him. I gave him a general idea for mine but of course changed my mind before I got there. I gave him my updated design and he handled it like a pro and it turned out most excellent. For my son, he requested more time on a different day to draw it out and make sure that all of the detail was there and as he wanted it and it was going to take 3-4 hours. We came back two days later and he had it drawn out perfectly, larger so that all of the detail could be seen and he got to work. The work was absolutely incredible, the detail was perfect and my son is beyond thrilled. The prices were extremely reasonable and the flexibility on appointment times was appreciated and worked for us perfectly. I highly recommend Emo, his work is excellent and I am so happy to have come here. We will be back and I am sending all of my friends here.

    One of the most chill and comfortable tattoo shops I have ever been to! Emilio did an awesome job on my tattoo, and made it a great experience! 10/10 would come back!

    My upper back piece with a Ganesh  The lower two weren't done by Emo

    I'm so thankful I met Emo! He started my huge back piece, then we've worked on both my arms. I love how quick he tattoos, literally felt almost nothing. He listens to your ideas and makes the best artistic suggestions to better fit you body or even ideas I hadn't thought of. We started working on my body art many years ago and I keep coming back always will :) thanks Emo

    Super Clean Lines!!!

    I am so happy with this tat!!! Emilio went above and beyond my expectations. I brought a pic of an idea of what I wanted and he made it look so much better. His lines are so clean, the depth is on point, it's well in proportion with my other tats, and the placement couldn't have been better. While I was there , for several hours, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. His shop is clean and is in an awesome location. Plenty of local eats close by. I'll differently be going back for my next piece of art work. I highly recommend going to the Ink Yard for your next tat.

    Got my first (tiny, simple) tattoo, was a little nervous but Emilio had such a chill vibe and made the experience super comfortable and easy! Def going back to him for more! Kinda hooked now!

    About a month ago my friend and I went to watch the sunset at the beach in Laguna. After we spontaneously decided to each get a tattoo! We found Inkyard Tattoo through yelp and headed over to the shop. We walked in around 6/7pm and the tattoo artist/owner Emo was finishing up on another client. Shortly after he was able to discuss with us about what we wanted, pricings, and was able to do both our tattoos last minute. Emo was great, hilarious, and very accommodating being a last minute tattoo and his last clients for the day. A month later I'm still happy with the tattoo I got and the outcome. Definitely recommend his shop & his work. I'll for sure be back soon again for more!

    Emilio did a great job on my tattoo! I wanted something special for my 50th Birthday so I decided to get a tribal tattoo of my favorite animal! He did a perfect job!

    Tattoo

    EMO KILLED IT!!!! i wanted some really delicate seashells and sealife and he really made it all come together perfectly. Talks you through the tattoo and helps you decide what's the best move. Super talented and a nice guy too. You guys gotta check this place out you won't be disappointed. I'll be coming back for more tattoos at this shop for sure.

I chose a small tattoo from the enormous selection of flash art they have displayed on their walls. Zane was amazing and did it exactly as shown. I couldn't be happier and plan on returning in the future to have a custom designed tattoo done.

I just needed many ears re-pierced my partner was getting his done for the first time time. Immediately walking in we were met with a pony sized Doberman and another dog who were so cute and energetic but who should not be in an environment where a guy just got his tattoo done and is looking in the mirror and dogs are running around lose in the shop. That was the first problem but I brushed it off since they're local and in town. I should have known something was off when she pulled out a set of earrings that looked like they came from Claire's but then she said the pairs she brought out were the only sets she had. 2 different colors one set were diamond studs and the other ones were just black. I went first since mine just needed to be re-pierced I was sat on a stool with wheels and she sat in front of me and stuck a needle in my ear, went great I liked them. She did my partners and doted them free handed within less than 5 minutes no measuring or anything. We thought they looked even (what do we know). Payed her and left. Unfortunately my partners earrings were too tight and his right ear was healing over the earring after a night. Mine were also super tight and hurt as soon as they were tightened I had to loosen mine up immediately. I loosened the back of the earrings for my partner to help the swelling and he took medication. His left earring was turning green. She put costume jewelry is both our ears charged us $50 PER ear. Literally robbed us. We went to Dana Point Tatoo Payed $40 per PERSON for titanium jewelry. Wouldn't recommend this place at all.
