The atmosphere was great plus the tattoo artist and piercing artist were very helpful. I went in to get my nose pierced and ask question on how to cure my piercing and what not to use. Plus it was my first piercing done as an adult and it went good. Thank you for the tips and the vibe was super chill and the artist were very helpful and chill as well. read more

I've gotten my septum pierced here, but I wouldn't recommend them for tattoo work, at least not without getting a few quotes from other places first. I have a hand tattoo of a rose that I finally want colored after 2 years and went here for a quote because it's so close to my house. The potential artist said the owner recommended $500 but he was "willing" to do it for $400 + $80 deposit (Total $480). $20 difference. What a joke. What he didn't know was that I already got another quote from a different shop and this guy was going to charge me $250 just for color or $300 if I wanted him to touch up the black as well, and a $100 deposit THAT WENT TOWARD THE WHOLE COST. I didn't know that guy, I was just a man walking in off the street after I saw his work on Instagram and he gave me a great price. Old Traditions should be your second or third stop, never your first. read more

I have gotten work done there a few times and always feel like I was charged too much. The last piece I got done was a cover up and was way too pricey for the work. I feel like it was just an OK job. It could've been much better. I walked out of their feeling disrespected and taking advantage of. I won't go back. read more

I called needed an urgent nose piercing. I've been wanting it for a while and things have just been going down hill lately, I really needed a lift me up and this place WAS AWESOME! It was like 6:30 after a crazy day and they are open till like 9pm and take walk in until 8:30. I got there and the guys were so nice! He was quick to explain the process, sign paperwork and scan my ID. Then the guy whimpered me was so sweet! He was so kinda and had a good humor! It was definitely one of the best piercing experiences I've ever had! (Number 14 for me) DEFINITELY coming back here for my next one! He was even really good at telling me a couple times how to clean it and take care of it (I do forget a lot of stuff as soon as someone tells me!) I really appreciated the customer service, cleanliness and how much they cared I previously got a tattoo here about 4 years ago... and it was for my grandfather, who passed away... my artist was kind of cold.. didn't talk much and it felt like he was pressing harder than other tattoos I've gotten before... (this was on my foot, so that may be why) I have over 20 tattoos and this is the first one that hurt really bad while healing... had bubbles... this experience was not so great... would have liked better communication and a more pleasant artist... also I do believe you get what you pay for and want to pay for beautiful art work but... I payed $120 +$10 tip for a tattoo that should have been more around $80 it's small and not very detailed. but I'm happy with this peircing experience I've had today and how much more friendly they are read more

PSA!! Do not take your child to get their ears pierced here!!! The owner who was also the piercer (of course) completely butchered my daughter's ears by shoving the needles in at the wrong angle (she was sitting perfectly still) and pierced through her neck skin!!!! Idk why he was doing it so quickly as there was absolutely no rush. I respectfully argued about placement and he said "oh no it's fine it's supposed to look like that blah blah blah." So I went to another piercer for a 2nd opinion and sure enough they were messed up and she was so sad and concerned for my daughter. I went straight back next day and demanded a repierce. He still even argued with me the next day!! Claiming he has 12 grandkids and this is totally normal. My daughter is traumatized from the experience of being pierced 2 days in a row. She WILLINGLY sat for the first time but was obviously horrified to sit for the repierce. I still feel guilty holding her down. I paid $100 for the piercings and I'll be damned if they're not exactly how they're supposed to be. They also use butterfly backs which is cheap and not okay. Who messes up LOBE piercings?? Claires would have done a better job!! This place is severely money driven and it's obvious. Save yourself the headache and the argument with the piercer and go to Hidn ink tattoo for your piercing needs. Old traditional needs to have their piercing license taken away immediately. I'm still so upset about this and probably will be forever bc we waited until she wanted to go get it done and I feel like I failed her taking her to a messed up place that didn't know what they were doing at all. DO NOT GO HERE! I attached a picture showing where her original piercing holes were and you can see the holes on her neck. Absolutely not okay. read more

First off when my son and I walked looking to some ink done . I wanted a cover up and my son wanted a leg ink done . Place had good vibe . But it went down fast . No line yes ppl were waiting for their ink . We must've waited to even be acknowledge that we were in there looking to get some ink done like 20 mints before ANYONE ASKED US FOR HELP. Let alone other customers were coming in and they were helped right away . At this point I felt as if they were base us off Race. Im Hispanic and my son is Black and Mexican, but looks more Black than Mexican.. Everyone else who was helped right away where none of our race. At that point I felt very uncomfortable. So we walked out . Your a business and should acknowledge everyone who is walking through that door to spend some money with you guys and to show more respect and courtesy. And help everyone regardless of color or race the same way as the next customer.. First Time trying a New Shop . Never again. Now I know why me and my boys stay with HIDDEN INK .. HIDDEN INK Is very awesome Great Prices and THEY WELCOME EVERYONE AND ACKNOWLEDGES EVERY CUSTOMER THAT COMES THROUGH THEIR DOOR REGARDLESS OF COLOR RACE OR ANYTHING.. read more

I love this shop! Sam has done 5 out of 6 of my tattoos. The staff is always friendly.. the owner doesn't take any crap from anyone (patrons, employees, etc). Every time I've gone in, the shop is very clean. The sterilized instruments are laid out at the artists station and not opened until you're there. Sam is the only artist I've been to, and he's nailed the design I was looking for every time! I've seen photos from the other artists and they all do good work as well! I highly suggest this shop! read more

Dutch is a riot, my bear brother made it feel like home! And I will be back. Love the crew.

Clean, friendly and good vibes. Clean work and versatile in any tattoo style. Decent price for great

They were friendly but they over charged us so much 100 for each little tattoo I still did them because I didn't want my experience getting my first tattoos to be ruined but it sucked having to pay for something soo small to be 100. read more

First and foremost, I want to express my complete discussed with how the owner "Carl" of the tattoo place conducted himself in the end. As you can see in the pictures, there's a drawing of a mermaid that I made for a friend of mine. My friend then took said drawing into the shop, showed it to the tattoo artist, and this is what he was supposed to have tattooed. The tattoo on my friends arm looks nothing like the drawing I made. My friend was nervous going in, nervous while it was being done on his arm, not to mention my friend is disabled. He was in a bit of pain as well tattoos are not painless. And yes he walked away from the shop with no complaint when he was driving home he sent me a picture of the finished tattoo and to my surprise that's not what I drew. I pointed out that the tattoo was missing lots of things, the weed leaf on the tail was not a weed Leaf, that's a spring leaf as you can see. That's when he noticed and was upset because they didn't do what they were supposed to. I then called in spoke with the owner of the shop "Carl" he was very professional, very kind and helpful with his explanation. Even though everything he was telling me was a lot of crap. Telling me that my drawing was non-symmetrical, could not be put on as a tattoo the way that I drew it. Argued with the fact that the leaf on the tattoo was supposed to mimic being underwater, and the movement underwater or whatever. I explained to him that that's not what we wanted done I explained to him that that does not look like a weed Leaf it looks like a spring leaf. The veins on the leaf don't even match up with what a weed Leaf actually looks like. The lines on the tattoo itself as a whole are very sloppy,there's no crown , there's no blunt, and what happened to my mermaid's breasts? she's flat chested now! he told me that my friend walked out happy even thanked them for the work and what not so he didn't see any sort of a problem. But that if my friend wanted he can have the crown put on for free. But he would have to wait 2 weeks. Fast forward 2 weeks, I call again I asked to speak with "Carl" who is the owner of the shop they passed over the phone. He acted like he didn't remember who I was as if he tattoos a bunch of mermaid with weed leaves on people. So it's hard to remember who he spoke with. But that's fine he was still respectful still calm and basically let me know that I'm not the one that needed to call about making an appointment, That it needed to be my friend because he's the client. So I said okay that's great but I also wanted to bring to your attention that after carefully looking at the tattoo, we noticed that it is very sloppy the lines aren't crisp on the tattoo, the lines are actually way too thick if you weren't going to shade it in. it shouldn't be so thick it looks like a child Drew this tattoo I was assuming that it may have been an apprentice that took on this job. He says "no it was a full-on artist" my response to that was "well okay that's not good then because the tattoo is actually pretty sloppy and doesn't look like it's professionally done" I would like for the tattoo to be touched up so that it looks more Crisp and if anything shaded in. That's when he kind of got an attitude with me and told me that this is something my friend needed to tell him not me. which is understandable I get that. now I told him that I would call back with my friend on three way and he said that I didn't need to be on the phone that my friend is old enough to take care of this himself which is true my friend also has disabilities and gets extremely nervous when talking to people which is why I was going to be there with him on the phone fast forward a couple of hours we call back my friend lets him know what his concerns are I said nothing I was on three way but I didn't say anything Carl was very professional and told him okay why don't you come in we'll take a look at it and then we'll go from there fast forward another 2 hours my friend does go into the shop I'm still on the phone I'm on speaker and he's explaining to the owner everything that he feels is wrong with the tattoo all the things that are missing the fact that the Tails weed Leaf isn't a weed leaf that it's a Spring leaf and it should not have been changed because it takes away from the drawing that I made. Carl was only trying to justify the screw up saying that the reason why they curled the leaf is because it was supposed to mimic being underwater because she is a mermaid and trying to say that the reason why she's flat chested is because the real aerial doesn't have large breasts and that's when I chimed in and said okay sir but that wasn't the point the point was, it was a version of Ariel not Ariel herself it was only a version of Ariel. basically he was yelling over me first of all and I asked him if I could finish what I was saying and he said "no I will not let you finish because you're not my client I don't need to deal with you I need to spea read more

Let me start off by saying that I have been to this shop a total of four times and it wasn't until my experience this early afternoon that makes me question the type of people who work here. I came in with my sister (this is her second time coming to the shop as well) early this afternoon and was attended by a female piercer. Unfortunately, I was fatigued by the experience and was about to pass out when she begins to panic. It wasn't until another gentleman in the shop came into the rescue. If it weren't for him, I don't think I would have been in good hands. Then, due to the overwhelming event, I began to vomit and have hot flashes. My sister (a former piercer) and the apprentice assisted me at this point. Meanwhile, ALL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES at the shop were mocking me and humiliating me. Yeah, I was embarrassed, but can't get around the fact that these people lacked empathy, maturity, and experience in emergency situations. Can't recommend, and they're no longer having our business. That was a seriously scary experience and hope the owner of this shop can take this review as constructive criticism. read more

I would not recommend getting finger tattoos here. I was charged 80 for two very small tattoos on my finger and the tattoo artist went too deep and now a year later my tattoos are very much present and the ink bled under my skin so it looks smudged. I thought over time they would fade but they are still very there and dark. After the tattoo artist was done I heard him ask the other tattoo artist there how deep he goes with the needle, he should've asked before starting on me. I was quoted 1k at a tattoo removal clinic to remove one of them. read more

Walked right in for two piercings and a small tattoo. Aboo was excellent and very professional, everyone in the shop was nice and welcoming.

Great tattoo shop! Everything is super organized and clean! The workers are really friendly! I got a tattoo from David and he did an amazing job! He constantly made sure I was taken care of by asking if I needed anything to drink or eat or if I needed any breaks. As for the tattoo he put full dedication and will work with you to get it exactly how you want it, I will definitely be getting a tattoo from him again soon! read more

I called ahead of time and talked with a female piercer and told her that I was coming in to remove and put back in a lip piercing for an MRI and I'd rather tip than pay a charge, she said that was fine and to come in anytime. When I came in today they made me pay, and after being forced to use the ATM they cut my lip. I don't know how you can cut someone's lip taking off a ring but he did. The manager was sitting right there and they said nothing. Not going back, don't recommend. read more

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND FOR PIERCINGS!!!spent 140$ for snake bites, the placement on the outside was great but not great on the inside where the needle went through. the backing was grinding on my teeth and it was nearly peaking out my mouth because of how high it was, if i puckered my lips you could see the flat back clearly peaking out my mouth. i asked for a refund the next day after taking a closer look and they declined because i went to another piercer for a second opinion.. even tho it didnt take a professional to tell it was not done correctly. i was also told "its about how it look on the outside" but 140$ for a obvious uncomfortable mess up was absurd. i offered to put it back in to show the messed up angel the piercing went through on the inside and they still declined. i have now gotten 4 piercings there and only 1 came out right which was the septum. i took out the snake bites and got done correctly by someone who knows what they're doing for a much cheaper procedure and can tell the huge difference in the placement of the piercing. they tried to blame the swelling but after getting them re-done by someone else i can say it WAS NOT due to the swelling. i basically donated money . if i could give a 0 i would. 140$ for a mess up read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This place really tries to rip one off. So sad. My husband and I went into this shop so excited to get a small 2 inch Roman numerals tattoo and was quoted $700!!! My jaw dropped 700 for numbers?!!! The owner quoted such a high price and I truthfully feel this was due to high end shoes I was wearing as well as just flat out stereotyping. I'm so glad I didn't go here we were able to find an excellent artists at "Oceanside tattoo" in San Diego and was charged $100. I was so pleased at how professional and kind this place was. Made me realize that Old traditions tattoo in San Jacinto is really of such low quality. read more

So I took my 8 year old daughter on her birthday to get her ears pierced. The gentleman inside was the owner of the parlor, and you can tell he takes pride in his shop. It was very clean, and welcoming to first timers. He was very gentle and understanding of my 8 year olds nervousness. She did want to get her ears pierced but she is afraid needles. He explained how it was going to be, and what she was going to have to do for care for her ears after the piercing. It was nice that he talk to her, instead of at her. He was also very informative about her sensitive skin concerns. I would definitely recommend this parlor for piercing. read more

Got my nose pierced in January and the piercer was very educated as I told them my past bad experience with the same piercing I was getting that day. They marked me up, I let them know if I liked it, they ran me through the piercing and it was quick and easy. They recommended Bactine and it's been working so far. The only thing I would say is I'm not sure if they're were/are any jewelry options because I was given just a stud for my nostril piercing. It took about 20 mins in and out I would say my experience. It also costed $50 dollars. read more
