    By Jessica. Most of the ink came out.  Healed lumpy, blotchy, Looks nothing like when I left the shop.

    So it's with mixed feelings that I post this review. The instant I set foot in the shop the people are very friendly and it's a nice shop. But I had a very negative experience here from then on. I had a tattoo done that got terribly infected. It was done June 22nd and it's still has scabs coming off of it. I started a sleeve for my birthday and this place was the first tattoo I got that started it. I have since gone elsewhere and gotten another tattoo that has already healed before the one I got here at iron mountain. In the first week of getting it. I went through hell. It got so reddish pink and swelled up to the point I thought I would have to go to the ER. For two days I couldn't move my arm above my head and it was oozing puss and looked awful. It was throbbing, having shooting pains and I was crying from being in so much pain. As it's healed the skin is all uneven and lumpy. People are asking me what happened and my comments on my tattoo which was supposed to be my birthday present and that I paid A LOT of money for in hopes of getting beauty have been "looks like a stick on tattoo, looks inexperienced, she really dig into you, wow that's rough, looks blotchy" During that week I was panicking and when I reached out to the artist I got really no sympathy at all but more so a tough break and probably your fault email back but thanks, I'll use this as a growing experience as an artist....Really? Well I'm glad that you can grow from this. But This in on ME for life not you. And I am the one that had to deal with the pain and I am the one that has to hear the comments not you. I am trying to put topicals on the skin to heal it cause it feels like I was mauled by an animal. My partner had even gotten a kit basically for burn victims with gauze and helped bandage me. It was humiliating going to work like that. But the worst was going through all of this and the defensive treatment like oh tough shit from the business itself. Luckily the artist I am working with now said he can fix it and told me he doesn't know why some artists feel the need to go so heavy. You can go lightly and still get a tattoo looking good, plus you don't have to use those giant fat coils. So this disastrous monstrosity will be fixed but I paid a lot to have it done, tipped a lot, all to have it basically be covered up and treated poorly, and have the "sucks to be you peace out" and there's the door treatment. Pretty uncool if you ask me. Never setting foot near this establishment again. Would have been nice to just be treated human rather than for them to go instantly defensive, probably wouldn't have felt the need to write this review but some people can't set ego aside and I really felt screwed over

    My husband and I came in to get arrow tattoos. Aaron was so great with his drawing and clean lines. Definitely recommend this place!

    The most recent! This was one of Curt's pre-drawn designs.

    This is absolutely the ONLY place in the super northern part of California to get a tattoo. Curt Baer and his entire crew are excellent artists. This place has international tattooists taking guest spots, and that says a lot for a shop in such a rural (ish) area. I personally have been tattooed by Curt twice, and his lines, detail, and saturation are on par with the best in the business. He's no nonsense, and when you sit down in his chair he tattoos you from start to finish, and asks a more than fair rate for the art you get. The environment is super chill, all of the artists are cool people, and the walls are plastered with beautiful art. There's an artist at this shop for anything you're looking for. Look at any of the artists portfolios, and you'll see that the other shops in town full of wannabe artists and scratchers with certificates aren't even competing. Don't waste your time with them, you'll just end up in Iron Mountain to get it covered anyway! Just because someone competed on a "reality" show, doesn't mean they have any real talent. The art speaks for itself.

    Curt runs a clean shop that pumps out great, high quality work. I won't trust anyone else with my tattoos.

    Curt Baer's work speaks for itself. Always clean line work, solid shading, and original designs. It's nice to see artists who actually respect the history and integrity of their craft. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality of the work. True artists work here, and that's rare in the tattoo industry these days. I recommend Iron Mountain to anyone and everyone.

    Curt was amazing. This place is clean, down to earth and has amazing artists. I love my new piece and will be going here for all of my tattoos.

    So it's been almost a month since I got my tattoo from here and I still love it! Jeff was down to earth and nice to talk to while getting my tattoo done. I came in with just an idea to get a sunflower and some words and I was very open to ideas on font and design (I think that scared him at first, not many people are open for whatever) but the first thing he drew up I loved so we did it! He added so much detail into my flower that it just pops off my skin! Definitely going back for more!

    Curt did my Koi Dragon and it turned out amazing. He's also a great guy to sit and BS with while getting tattooed!

    I must say, I was quite offended by a girl at the counter, she was very snotty and acted like she…read morewas too good to talk to me... She really pissed me off because she had absolutely no customer service skills, and was completely antisocial... When I am browsing for jewelry, I expect the counter person to be helpful and at least "try to sell me something", maybe her chomping on gum got in the way. I don't know what was more disturbing for me with my experience, the skeleton of a possum next to the tattoo chair, or the obvious fact that Jason appeared to be on meth while giving me my tattoo. I am very unhappy with my tattoo, and I can't wait to get it fixed by someone else. The parking was HELL, despite what this listing says, they are actually on Churn Creek in a tiny little place south of E. Cypress, and with only 4 or 5 parking spaces, I was worried about backing into another parked car trying to get my truck out of their parking lot. There was another artist there named Grant, his portfolio was very impressive, and I wished I would have had him give me my tattoo, because he appeared to be sober and an actual artist. There was a slutty little girls club that came in during the middle of my tattoo, and Jason had to take a break to go outside and scrounge up some "tail". I didn't appreciate being left sitting in the chair bleeding while my tattoo artist took a smoke break to talk to some hooker outside... That really pissed me off, knowing that I am paying by the hour and all. All in all... I couldn't wait to get out of this tattoo shop, away from Jason and the little bitch at the counter. The only good part of the whole experience was chatting with Grant. He appears to be a struggling artist who can't get into a reputable shop... If he were a chef, I would use the comparison that he's working at McDonalds when he belongs in a 5 star restaurant. Good luck to you Grant.
