    Came in today because I needed a new top for my Medusa piercing, got it no problem. But decided while I was there to get my belly button pierced. I've had it done a couple times before so was a bit worried about pain cause of scar tissue. Well it didn't hurt at all! Piercer was QUICK and did a great job! I love it! Thank you guys!

    I enjoyed getting a tattoo here. My artist Seth was professional, kept his area clean, tattooed clean lines, and colored well. I came in short notice and was accommodated with kindness. I left within a few hours and had a completed piece that I'm proud to have on me. As for the shop, the inside has seating to the left when you walk in where you can wait and view artist portfolios. The restroom is to the right and was kept clean. The walls are covered in framed tattoo art, a mixture of personal art by shop owner and purchased art. The shop owner has several awards displayed. Bring a driver's license, prepare to fill out a little paperwork, and bring cash. This is a cash only tattoo shop.

    Words cannot describe how much I appreciate James and the work he's done on my sleeve. He's always been transparent, provided quality work, and ensures the shop is always clean. I've recommended countless friends and family to him, and will continue to do so. Please support James and the rest of the guys at Lotus Tattoo!

    Recently got my most extensive tattoo and I am absolutely in LOVE. Mark designed a better tattoo than I had envisioned. He worked hard and was extremely kind about my pain tolerance. I will be coming back for several more.

    Came in and looked at the artists books since this was my first tattoo. Picked an artist that I liked (James) and booked him. I was able to put a deposit down online which was super helpful for me. Day of my appointment I showed him what I wanted, we chitchatted about what i wanted, the size, and where I wanted it, and he started setting up. The prep didn't take very long at all. I meant to shave the spot beforehand, but I forgot. He didn't have a problem doing it. The tattoo process went super quick. About an hour and a half. James was super nice and we talked throughout the whole thing. He seemed comfortable talking and working. It hurt way less than what I imagined and I am very happy with the result! Just remember, CASH ONLY. I didn't and had to beat feat across the street to the bank to withdrawal money, but they were cool with it.

    Amazing and considerate employees, each time I've gone in for my piercings they have always had the up most care. Also they make sure I'm comfortable and are extremely professional. The care sheets are very helpful as well. I'll definitely be back!

    How far off the placement was

    I hate doing this but i don't want other people to get botched like me. I had my first belly button piercing done back in 2021 with Adrianna. It was fine at first and I was so excited until it started rejecting and it completely pushed out. I was bummed but I was expecting it to be a possibility so no biggie. I went back to get my nose pierced with her in October 2022 and when I updated her that was when she said "oh no it was because you had the wrong jewelry! You need floating navel jewelry because of your anatomy I have some if you wanna get it redone!" I went back to get it redone in April of this year and I was so excited because I had been left with a scar that already made me self conscious and she made it seem like this would be perfect and advertised it as such. I got it pierced again and it was only about 3 months before it started rejecting. I went to consult with another piercer since Adriana just kept on deflecting that it was pierced incorrectly and said it was because of the jewelry and blah blah. The other piercer said it was done completely wrong and wasn't anywhere close to my belly button and that it should have never been done in the first place and an actual experienced piercer would not have laid a hand on me if they knew their stuff! I have always been chubbier and it was already an insecurity of mine and now it's even worse :(. Don't get me wrong she's good for other piercings but definitely did me so wrong with my belly button. I of course felt like I spent so much money ($110 plus tips and other jewelry bought) getting it done and I asked if there was anything she could do since she pierced it incorrectly, which she replied she doesn't do refunds. I understand there are policies but I have been scarred forever because of the incorrect piercing and Idk I feel like I at least should get some of the money I spent back. But anyways this is just a warning that if you have a different anatomy than others this place is not for you!

    Before I saw adrina the issue I had with horrible swelling . This was not done by her

    Strictly piercing review.. so I keep getting bad luck with my piercings. I got a double helix done NOT here elsewhere back in March and constantly kept dealing with swelling, redness and irritation. I kept being told by the original piercer that takes time to heal. I try my best to keep it clean and constantly use products that are meant to help with the cleaning. Adrina took care me last time for my nose emergency where I lost my nose stud and she quickly placed a new stud in. During that previous visit she gave me better knowledgeable tips for better more effective care. I have never ever so far encountered any issues now with my nose piercing not even an ugly bump. Well fast forward a month later and now I am contacting adrina about my double helix issue. She tells me to right away come in , took a look at it and suggested what could be the problem. She replaced my earrings with new ones she recommended. It's only been not even 24 hours and the front part of my ear looks normal!! No more redness , swelling and warm to touch feeling! The back side the swelling has gone down so much. If you are thinking of getting pierced go to this woman! She is incredible , amazing and knows her stuff!!! You won't regret her . I totally regret not knowing her before I did my piercings .

    The shop is super clean, the people are friendly and they do badass tattoos. What more couldja want? Highly recommend.

    Just got this done today.  Trey did an awesome job adding to what was already there.  Went above and beyond!

The shop is very clean. Staff are super friendly. I was super nervous. But after filling out the form, the nerves started to subside. My artist was Cerena and she is sooo sweet. ( you can see hee work on their ig page that is linked to their website) She helped calm my nerves as well. She explained the whole process and what to expect. She even explained that she was going to do a small line so I can know how it feels. My tattoo is on my side on my ribs. And I legit felt NOTHING. It was more like a pinch. She made the whole experience very personable. They are a military friendly shop too. I can't wait to go back with my other designs in the future.

    *Sigh* I'd never thought I'd have to leave a review let alone a negative one about a tattoo shop…read morebut here we are. Last weekend this company advertised a "flash sale" on IG. My man and I decided to drive about 40 mins from Riverside to check it out bc they gave the option of bringing in your own design. If you've been getting tatted for a while you know that flash sales are literally the simplest designs for a reasonable price. We had our own design. Decided to go with the 2X2 sizing which was priced at $60. When we got there, we're assuming (like I think anyone else would) that the shop would be not necessarily packed but busy. Nope. It was 2 artists working on a customer each. 2 other women who turned out to be artists as well, were roaming around. We eventually were greeted and I'm assuming the curly haired lady didn't want to do our tatts (due to her taking care of the lady that came in AFTER US) bc she went and got the other lady w/ green in her hair (named Mariah I believe.. whom isn't even posted as an artist on their IG) . Now, we tell her what we want and the size. She goes to the back for a good 45 mins just to prepare the stencil ALONE. Idk about y'all but it's never taken anyone that long to do a simple stencil of the basic tatts that we got. (I'll attach pics for reference and you guys can tell me if I'm trippin) So, I want to say the shop opens at like 11 and we got there maybe around 11:45ish-12. They close on Sundays at like 5. We probably finally left around 3:45-4... for two 2x2 tattoos. My issue about that day is mainly just the wait time bc AINT NO WAY! And better yet, the artists that were there were moving slow af (seemed intentional). Both of the artists that had customers when we first got there were literally just walking back and forth to the back. Taking their time setting up for the next person. Literally took them maybe an hour to even get someone else in their seats. Once again, keep in mind, these are simple "flash tattoos" lol I can't make this up! And they can get on here saying "Oh we need a break" and etc BUT, they saw that people kept coming in and continued to move extremely lethargic. It's like, do you guys want the business or not?? Because people were definitely coming through. We wanted to leave so bad BUT we had already driven out there and waited for so long that it was just one of those "we might as well stay" type of times. And to add insult to injury, the flyer that was posted on IG said nothing about the tatts being limited to just arms and legs. If I'm not mistaken, isn't that false advertisement? I said all of that to say this: I do not recommend this shop during a flash sale. On any other regular day, maybe they're the (poop emoji), but last weekend, absolutely not . Did not bring their A-game. Just sharing my experience.

She also recommended a book I've now added to my "to be read" list! Lol! I was a bit indecisive of the size of earring I wanted to go with, so she offered her opinion and I ran with it! Ended up being a great choice! I love the style and size. She walked me through the after care process, as well as provided a walkthrough of the actual piercing process which was nice so I knew what to expect. The piercings were painless so you know she's good at what she does!

She was raving about Alyssa and her work with nano brows, which she said is far better than microblading. Then I read all her highly rated reviews and followed her instagram for months before finally making the decision to do it. I cannot say enough good things about my experience. Alyssa is an absolute gem and amazing at what she does. She felt that I was nervous being its my first time and she immediately put my mind at ease. It never seemed like she was rushing through the appointment. She was very thorough in explaining each step in the process and answering all the questions I had. From the moment I walked in, I loved how clean and comfortable her place was. She makes you feel very relaxed by putting a wedge pillow under your legs and providing a warm blanket. She was so patient with me during the outlining in making sure I loved the shape and look. Alyssa is very skilled at her craft, she studies the shape of your brows, how it fits your face, works with you every step of the way to perfect the look, and then delivers the final result even better than you could've imagined. I am so pleased with how they came out I couldnt stop staring since they looked so natural. I've recommended all my girls to Alyssa and confident that she'll take care of them. The process was seamless and she walked me through the phases of recovery that I would go through as they heal so I knew exactly what to expect. Now makeup in the morning is a breeze and I have brows that slay all day. Thank you Alyssa xoxo

Called ahead the day before to check his availability and make sure he was ready for a kid and he was friendly and said he was available anytime so to roll in when we were ready. When we got there the next day he met us at the front and was super friendly and immediately made my daughter (and son who tagged along) feel comfortable. We did the quick paperwork thing but it was super streamlined and an easy process. My wife even decided to sneak in another piercing and he was super cool about it and didn't hesitate to do both of them. His patience and professionalism were both top notch for my wife he took the time to show her a couple different ways hers could be done and didn't rush her on a decision. My daughter went next and though it was just a traditional lobe he took his time marking the dot and even double checked the symmetry with calipers (he nailed it first shot) he was up front yet comforting at the same time walking her through the process and had everything ready to go and efficiently knocked out both earrings quick and painless. Jingles is definitely our go to guy for my wife's next piercings and my daughters next ones ( in 10 or so years) and also our go to recommendation from here forward. His prices were extremely fair so please trust me, spend the few extra dollars and ditch Claire's and go to a professional!!

All he had to say was well bring the jewelry yourself- which was pretty unprofessional. Although he stated he had what I needed on the phone. Either way, I definitely don't recommend this guy if you're a minority. He's only "nice" to the people who look like himself if you understand what I mean :) -3/10 surely He will try to change his behavior towards customers after someone leaves a review about it.
