I have been going to Leftys for 16 years. If you want the very best tattoo this is the place to go, Jason Martin is amazing. He has tattooed probably 75% of my body with extraordinary work. He has done my parents portraits and my dogs and they look exactly like the pictures. He has done many Disney characters and many other designs I have came in with. If you want the very best tattoo you can get go to Leftys cause they are the very best. Most importantly his shop is exceptionally clean, I have never seen such a clean shop. All the guys that work there do amazing jobs. You will not regret going to this shop!!! read more

I got a tattoo done by Jason. He did an amazing job. It's perfect in every way I got so many compliments on it. I can't wait for him to finish my sleeve. The environment was clean and friendly. The whole shop is involved and engaging and that's always nice to feel included. I absolutely recommend this shop! I would give more then two thumbs up but I only have two. Thank you Jason I'll see you soon for more! read more

I've received 2 tattoos here, both of them from Jeremy. The shop as a whole is professional, all employees I've encountered have been very kind, the pricing is good, and the work is awesome. I love the design Jeremy came up with for one of my tattoos and I plan to go back very very soon to have him do up another one. I have several friends who have also received work done here, and all of them have been stoked by what their artist has done. Call and make an appointment, NOW! read more

I recently got a forearm tat with Josh. He was really easy to work with & I love the finished piece. He quoted me a good price range up-front & even though we were there until 11pm at night, he didn't try to charge me any extra. He actually charged me the bottom end of his price quote range. We met twice before the night to go over the artwork too. He was really pleasant whilst doing the tattoo & I enjoyed our 4 hours together! The arm has healed beautifully & I'm just so pleased with the result. All the staff were welcoming, courteous & fun to meet & I never felt "looked down upon" as can happen in tattoo shops that think they are above the clientèle. The only issue I had was that the bathroom is a bit grim! read more

After getting my first couple of tattoos elsewhere, Lefty's was recommended to me by my brother. I first went in to see the artist Jason for a touch up to an older tattoo. Then came back for new ink. I've now been to Lefty's on four separate occasions for my own work to be done in addition to the several trips that my husband and friend have made there for ink. Every single time it's been a great experience. They are clean, careful, friendly and are very good artists. No one will ever tattoo my husband or I except Jason Martin at Lefty's as ever single one of my tattoos healed up nicely and look great. If you'd like an appointment with a master, better make it months in advance since his schedule is quite full. Not to worry, he's WELL worth the wait. read more

Lefty's Tattoo - Jason Martin artist - Tattoo Near Me - Orange, California

I have been to Lefty's twice now, and if I get any more tattoos, I'm going there with 100% confidence that it will be a great experience, with an extremely reasonable price, and absolutely no buyer's remorse. The first time I went, I got a tattoo from Ryan. He was able to adjust without an already-existing drawing or print to make exactly what I wanted. I wanted greek lettering done a certain way, and he did an awesome job! My tattoo still looks super sharp. The second I got from Chris. He is the shit!! Not only is he really good at doing simple line tattoos, but is super diverse in what he can design for you. It can be something rustic, something simple/more contemporary/ minimalist, or something more whimsical, he can do it. He was really efficient, super personable, and also customized my tattoo to exactly what I wanted. He definitely helped me figure out where it was going to look best, would last longest and what size to get, while he gave me really thorough after-care instructions and answered all of my questions clearly. He also was really big on keeping everything and anything very, very clean. Lefty's is awesome because all employees, whether they are doing work on you or waiting for a separate appointment, are all super friendly, approachable, and fun to talk to! read more

My girl has been getting her ink done for a couple years with Ryan and his work is spot on...He gets her work done just the way she wants it & is always helpful with suggestions to make the experience and the art come out just right... He's a go to guy.. read more

I've had (2) good size tats done by JEREMY, 1 on my chest, 1 on the middle of my back. He is by far the most gentle with the tat gun, very clean/ hygenic, major (+) easy going, comfortable environment. GET INK'D BY JEREMY @ LEFTY'S !!!! read more

It is currently 9:10 and after talking to someone on the phone and getting the green light about walking in to have 3 small words tattooed on my chest I was turned away. The guy who was sweeping told me he was getting ready to take off even though I had just spoken to someone who told me to come in and get it done. They have on the yelp and the shop front the hours "12 pm to 10pm". These guys clearly don't care about your business if it's something small. I hope the owner talks to his employees. read more

I got my second tattoo here. The people were nice and I loved the way my tattoo looked when I first got it. After it healed not so much. To be fair they said I could get free touch ups but I think I'm going to get it touched up somewhere else. I got it on my wrist and the ink ran. It looks smudged in spots. It's messed up. Now I'm going to have to make the lines thicker, which was not what I had wanted. Not good. I'm going to get it touched up at outer limits. I hope they can fix it. read more

Ok, so this review is for Chris Smith. He's my first choice for tattoo work I get done In California. He's great with colors and pretty much anything. He works with you to get exactly what you want. Most of the work I have on me is done by him. You defiantly get what you pay for. He's great. The tattoo shop is in a small little plaza. Hidden gem I'd say. Very welcoming and a friendly staff. Very clean and professional. They take cash and cards. So def a plus for me cuz I don't usually carry cash on me. But if you need cash there is a atm. So, if you looking to get some great work done check them out and ask for Chris Smith. You won't be sorry. I need to go back soon and get some more work done! Forever customer here :) read more

I love this shop! I found out about them through a friend, and since then I won't get tattooed anywhere else. I've had two tattoos done by Chris Smith. He's a great guy! He did both of my feet in separate occasions. He made sure they lined up perfectly and flowed together. He was super light handed so I didn't have much pain to go through! Their shop is clean, organized and has a great vibe to it. I felt comfortable there both times I went. Overall, this shop rocks. If you want quality work, with a fun atmosphere; there's no doubt Leftys is the place to go! read more

I have been getting tattoos at Lefty's for 16 years now. That's a compliment in itself. If you want to walk in at 9pm to a drive by shop where the artists skip around from shop to shop go to the beach boardwalk. If you want a great Tattoo go to Lefty's. read more

Oh yea! Hurts so good. My ONLY location for tattoos! I started over year ago and YES I'm slightly addicted. They have a new location. Very clean and sanitized. People there are awesome but I have to say, my go-to person is the ONLY asian kid there, Nhan! I follow his work and it's amazing. He's honest about what he thinks of your ideas and recommendations are great. I trust him and I throw him an idea and let him run with it and so far it's worked out great. All the other artists there are cool and the environment is super chill. Itching for some more ink! Referred quite a few friends here already to Nhan and nothing but good feedback. read more

I have had nothing but the BEST experience at Lefty's Tattoo. I have had work done personally by Jason Martin within an 8 year time period, and have had family & friends tattooed here by Jason and others in the shop for the last 16 years. All of the guys in the shop are great at what they do. They each have their own unique style so whatever you are looking to have done can fit within the style of one of their artists. I love how clean the shop is, that is of the utmost importance to me as a client. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Best tattoo shop in oc. Very nice professional staff with years of experience. Some may say its pricey but you pay for what you get and when its permanent its worth the money! I wouldnt go anywhere else! I can't say enough nice things about this place.;) read more

I went to Leftys on a recommendation, I made an appointment with Jeremy. He was so professional and kind. This was my first tattoo and he was very patient with me. He drew out my tattoo and placed it on me, I didn't love the way it looked on my body, I felt bad since it took a while for him to draw. He wanted to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it and re-drew it again. It was perfect! I love my tattoo! I would definitely recommend Lefty's and Jeremy! read more

THIS PLACE ROCKS ! ! ! If you looking to get some great Artwork done. Check out Leftys Tattoo. on Tustin ave. CITY OF ORANGE These guys are Superstars. Best TATTOO SHOP IN OC. Let Ryan (SHADOW) work some MAGIC ON YOUR SKIN. read more

I had Chris Smith tattoo me for the second time, and I am so glad I did. I had a concept in mind and told him about it when I made my appointment, when I showed up, it was already drawn and ready to go. Chris is a real good artist, his lines are clean his hand is steady, and if I ever need any more work done, I'll be going to Leftys to visit Chris. read more

As a 1st time client, Jason assured that I'd be in good hands regardless of when I came in. Met Scooby a couple of days later & am extremely impressed his work on my new tat & reviving of an old one as well as with the overall shop, cleanliness, vibe, reasonable pricing & the rest of the fellas but some of the language, oh my!!! No need to settle with "...not exactly what I wanted but..." because your vision WILL be created & executed here!!! Am now a returning client, thanks to Jason & Scooby!!! : ) I'm baaack...to show Jason my latest & last visions that involved lots of color & detail...then I met Victor!!! : ) Victor is so focused, thorough & fast. He did a fabu job on (3) separate ideas which am again, extremely impressed...these are my last ones [contrary to what they all say y'all! ; )] & what better 'swan song' artist to have had other than Victor-no pressure : ) just lots & lots of gratitude, thank you Victor!!! : ) read more

Hello Today my husband finished his tattoo with Kevin and it is awesome will go there always read more

Lefty's is awesome!! I recommend all the guys there, they are all amazing!! The shop is clean, the music is good, or at least entertaining and the work they do can not be compared to, they are the best!! I get so many compliments on all the artwork I have its almost annoying!! hahaha Seriously though, I won't go anywhere else. read more

I love this place! I got my first tattoo here, and was really nervous about it, took me forever to pick this place out. I looked them up through Google, and they have the least amount of bad reviews so i decided to just go with them. I made it pretty easy for them, since i came in with what i wanted and exactly how i wanted it so basically it was a copy and paste job. I brought a friend with my and they let her sit with me while i was getting it done. Jeremy did my tattoo on my ribs and he was really nice, it didnt even take as long as he predicted and even bumped down the price a bit because he said i did very well for being tattooed on my ribs and for it being my first tattoo. I am definitely going back here for more work. Im also bringing my friend here to get tattooed read more

Myke has done all 3 of my tattoos and, as soon as I get my nerve up, I'm going to see him for a belly button piercing and a couple of new little tattoos. He is a great artist and has perfectly understood exactly what I've wanted each time I've brought my silly ideas to him for my teeny little works of body art. read more

I had portrait tatts of my daughter who has passed away done by Jason Martin he did such an awesome job I had 5more portraits done by him and I'm still not done. This tattoo shop is super clean. I posted some pictures of his work.. I highly recommend this tattoo shop to everyone. read more

I have gotten two tattoo's from Josh at lefty's with a third one (half sleeve) scheduled in a few weeks. He and the other artists there are always helpful and professional. Josh and lefty's as a whole wil be the only parlor i will go to. My friends have gone to Sid's which is just down the street and they have been way over priced and not very friendly. Almost stuck up. But i digest, Lefty's is great!!! read more

Went looking for a shop to have some work done at and my first impression was that it was very clean and organized.Tthe staff was very nice and accomodating and made some suggestions which i thought was super cool. I cant wait for my next tattoo ! read more

If you want awesome ink,lefty's is the place to go!

Wouldn't get a tattoo anywhere else! The guys are all talented and have been there forever. Jason Martin, the owner, is the best and who does my work. Friendly Clean and Creative establishment always feel comfortable here and always walk out happy! Thanks Lefty read more

I couldn't be more thrilled with my tattoo done by Jason (J-Dogg). I came in with a crazy idea and an even crazier time frame and he made magic happen. I let him take creative license and do his thing and I am madly in love with my tattoo. 7.5 hours total and he made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time. Tattoos hurt but he knows what he's doing and doesn't press excessively hard. I will be going back to him for all future work! read more

I have heard nothing but great things about this shop so I walked in a few weeks ago in search of a new artist and J-Dogg was there. He didn't hesitate when I asked if he would be able to touch up my sleeves and back piece. The shop is very clean and neat and all the staff seems friendly and professional. I just finished my first session today with J-Dogg and am AMAZED with his work. He is extremely talented and very professional. I can't wait to see how he will make my existing work look even better and eventually move on to covering new parts of my body. I would highly recommend J-Dogg to anyone... read more

Ryan was very professional and friendly. Made sure I was comfortable throughout the 4 hour session. He kept his station sanitary, and drew out the idea I pitched to him for my tattoo remarkably well. read more
