Their line work is so clean and precise, and they have such a light hand that the process is actually enjoyable. The shop itself is spotless, professional, and has such a chill, welcoming vibe. If you're serious about getting amazing work done, I can't recommend Monte and Dae enough! They are true artists and made my tattoo experience unforgettable.

I see Brian specifically and I can't recommend him enough. I wish I would've been able to meet him sooner. He's covered up a few tattoos seamlessly and I've had a several more larger pieces done by him. They're absolutely beautiful, and something I am truly proud to wear for the rest of my life. I brought a friend to Brian to get her first tattoo and he walked her through everything with patience and respect, making her feel comfortable the whole time. A lot of times when I am out and about, people ask me where I got my tattoos done at and compliment the work he has done. Brian's level of talent is exceptful and reflects through his work. Each piece clearly shows the amount of hardwork, thought, and diligence put behind it. If you're looking for a tattoo shop that is welcoming, passionate about their work, and respectful, look no further and come on in. Below are a few pictures of the tattoos Brian has done for me.

See you then. 5 minutes later I got a call back from them saying that there's an opening, I said Bet, I'll be there in 10. My artist was Artt. I came in with a few ideas and asked how much time he had and we ended up doing 2 tattoos (tbh i wish i did more), i couldn't have asked for a better artist. He was nice, funny, and his lines are clean. He took my ideas, made them his own by adding little details and shading, and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 am coming back for more. Can't wait for the next ones.

Hands down my worst tattoo and it came out of black sparrow…read more I got this about a month ago and I was very upset so I went to another artist FRANCISCO in the shop he assured me he could fix.

I am compelled to do another review of Black Sheep Tattoo and my artist Jake after a recent…read moreexperience. I occasionally have to make quite a drive up to Orange to a hobby shop for parts. Before my most recent visit to this hobby shop, I had not been there for at least 7-8 months. When I walked in, the guy behind the counter said "hey, how have you been?" Then he started talking with me like we have been friends since second grade! I was completely caught off guard and confused because I had no idea who he was I awkwardly asked him if we knew each other and he said "yeah, I remember you the last time you came in." I told him that was impressive because I hadn't been in there for almost 8 months. I asked him how he remembered me given he has probably seen thousands of customers since I had been there last. He said I remember your sleeve!!! He said when I saw it the first time he would never forget it! I personally cannot remember anyone I have ever met because of their PARTICULAR tattoo! THAT speaks volumes to me about Jake's work. His work has been the ONLY work I have had done that was remembered by ONE person I had a five minute interaction with from 8 months ago! Jake- thank you! You take your work seriously and your talent literally shows. Go see Jake at Black Sheep Tattoo in San Clemente if you're considering anything new or continuing anything old. Look at his work, it speaks for itself!

5 Stars - Amazing Tattoo and Even Better Service!…read more I couldn't be happier with my experience with Chad! From start to finish, the service was absolutely amazing. Chad made me feel comfortable, listened to what I wanted, and put so much care and attention into the entire process. The tattoo turned out absolutely STUNNING! The colors are vibrant, the linework is beautiful, and the detail is incredible. The coral-pink flower paired with the olive-green leaves and black ornamental detailing make the whole piece stand out. Chad made the whole experience enjoyable and welcoming. It's so nice to find an artist who not only does amazing work but also genuinely cares about their clients and the final result. If you're looking for a talented tattoo artist who delivers beautiful work and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Chad! I'm obsessed with how my tattoo turned out and couldn't be happier.
