Hey there Yelp Squad! If you're reading this and considering Outer Limits, look no further! I had the most professional, fun, and outstanding tattoo experience with Cierra at Outer Limits. I had a coverup done and something I call a "birthmark enhancement." Cierra had a better word for it, but I forgot it. I had a cookie placed over some natural birthmarks (I refuse to call them moles or freckles) and a 30-year old frog coverup. Cierra communicated with me through email prior to my appointment and knew what I had in mind for my coverup and birthmark enhancement. Her natural skill, innate talent, amazing artistry, and effervescent personality gave the whole experience a top shelf, VIP lounge access vibe (with complementary candy and snacks!). As a consummate professional who truly knows, loves, and understands every facet of her craft, Cierra was able to choose the best colors for my skin tone that made the tattoos really "pop," and each tattoo was drawn like it was going to be hanging in an art museum. I still can't believe how beautiful and realistic my tattoos look, and each one far exceeded my expectations. The staff members I interacted with were also very friendly and personable. I could feel and see the sense of community, pride, and history that all of them had as a part of the Outer Limits family. Next time (because OF COURSE I'm going back - Cierra is now one of my favorite people), I will explore more of the shop's museum. Cierra went above and beyond to make sure I was over 100% happy with her art work. She even helped me decide to let my original birthmarks shine through in my cookie instead of my original thought of covering them up! It looks so much better that way, just as she knew it would. I'm so fortunate to have found her and learned about her personal journey. I'm going back and bringing family! I highly recommend that you get your next tattoo with Cierra if you want an exceptional experience and a tattoo that is literally a work of art. https://www.instagram.com/c.von.art/
If I could give 10 stars I would. Outer limits has been a second home for me for +5 years now. Jhon is my guy. Him, along with all the artists and staff have treated me as their own. Countless hours of laughs, stories, great music, and of course, tattoos, as Jhon has tattooed almost my entire body, with more to come. Nothing but pure sincere joy the second I step thru the front door. Book now, walk in, or simply come check out the amazing history the shop has to offer! You won't regret it!
If you've ever thought about getting a hand poked tattoo, go see Gali. I've gotten three tattoos from her now and every single one came out amazing. She nails that traditional, old school vibe, and the fact that she works out of Outer Limits Tattoo just makes the whole experience feel even cooler and more nostalgic. Hand poked tattoos honestly hurt less than machine tattoos--yes, even on "spicy" spots like my sternum. Healing is a breeze too; way faster and easier than with machine work in my experience. And Gali's speed is wild... she's just as fast, if not faster, than most machine tattoo artists I've been to. On top of that, she's super kind and easy to work with. She's always open to collaborating on something custom so I get exactly what I'm picturing, but with her personal touch and artistic flair that makes it even better. She's truly a master of her craft and, in my opinion, one of the best hand poked tattoo artists in the world. I can't wait to get more from her.
What can I say about one of the most legendary tattoo shops of all time? I got tattooed by Kari Barba who is a true master of the craft. Followers of tattooing will know the contributions she's made to the art form for decades. I've also collected work from Nyra Cruz who is as friendly as he is talented, and the wonderful Jen Davis who is now at their Costa Mesa location. Everyone is professional, chill, and easy to work with. Standards are high and that is reflected in the quality of the tattoos. With a century of history, Outer Limits is the oldest operating tattoo shop in the USA. The whole place is set up like a museum, with mementos, original artwork, historic photography, great stories, vintage equipment, and dozens of awesome items showcasing the history of the place and the amazing and influential artists who have passed through its doors. You can visit the museum anytime during their open hours. In short, I've had several great experiences here and collected some awesome artwork. It's worth a stop in even if just to check out the free museum of tattoo history. Would recommend!
For the past six months I've been looking at tattoos. I'm way past the median age of first timers, but I wanted to experience the process. So after a lot of indecisiveness, I walked into Outer Limits. Told them I had a couple simple ideas for a first tat. Alex figured things out quickly, within thirty minutes I was being marked. Alex is fantastic. I would encourage you to give him your business and consideration.
Got a flash design from Brandon and absolutely loved it! I've been following him on instagram for a while and finally jumped the gun. Brandon was super sweet and loved the bits of conversation we had. He made me feel super comfortable throughout the entire process. The tattoo itself came out beautifully and I've already gotten lots of compliments on it. 100000000000/10 highly recommend.
Words cannot express how awesome my experience was for my tattoo, all thanks to Cierra (@C.Von.Art) !! I came to her with a vague idea and she really exceeded all expectations with it! From the idea to the stencil to the finished product. Her artistic ability is sensational. And she's very patient, creative, and SO sweet/nice. Whether it's your first tattoo or 100th, Cierra is full of ideas and creates a very welcoming/comfortable experience. I can't thank her and Outer Limits enough! I'd rate this a 10/5 if I could :)
I can't thank my artist enough! Nyra originally came from mule tattoo in Orange County, but had transferred over and started a new journey at outer limits! Couldn't be more happier for him. Anyway, since mule, we started working on this tattoo I think since 2020-- it a little over a year to complete because he gets booked quite often and to be quite honest, I had to take a few breaks from the needle ahahah. This might be a little long to read so tldr; he gave me a sick @ss coverup after many trials with other artists--AND he's SUPER FRIENDLY! Doing another piece with him! Spectacular customer service. The tattoo studio is a vibe and all staff are friendly. For those who want to read into the process: I had asked multiple artist if my lion was fixable or if they can cover it up. Most said no and suggested I remove it and then get the new cover up, but at that point I might as well get something else with the cost of my arm and legs. One artist gave me a "coverup" but ended up just darkening lines and shadowing certain areas. So at this point, I was close to giving up until I gave it another shot with Nyra at Mule. We instantly clicked and talked about all these things before the actual consultation. He was honest about his capabilities and strengths, but told me it's "a shot in the dark, but not impossible". I took a chance on nyra and I was so pleased with how he incorporated my idea/vision into the cover piece. During each session we had, he was always checking in to see how I was doing with the pain and we had wonderful conversations each time. He makes sure his guests are comfortable and doesn't push to keep working on the piece if a break is needed (by break I mean a 4 week break lmao). He also makes sure you've eaten so you're not feeling faint. All in all, I am VERY pleased with my new piece, so pleased that I am actually starting a new one with him! He literally makes magic happen with your vision, like my pieces so far has been everything I want and more. Regarding the studio itself, very clean and friendly staff. You can tell everyone cares for each other's well-being and everyone seems to have a great connection with their guests as well. It's a such a vibe. Parking is kind of tough to navigate depending on which street you come from && parking is at least $15, card only. As the first customer you can get your parking validated, not sure about any times after that. Hope this helps!
Going back in time! Walking into this tattoo shop was a unique experience; it had me thinking about all the stories and laughter this corner has seen and heard for many decades! Everyone was welcoming! Jenny was very friendly and helpful. Mickey did the tattoo and was awesome!!! She was funny and friendly and a pretty down to earth person! Great communication every step of the tattoo process. The tattoo came out exactly how we wanted it! The vibe and music were chill. We were in and out in 1 hour. If you park at the Pike parking structure, and when you check into Yelp, they will validate your parking.
I've been to Outer limits before for a consultation with Jessie and she was absolutely amazing. This time around I went back and had the privilege to meet Cierra. She took my friend and I in as walk-ins and LET ME TELL YOU WE DID NOT REGRET IT! She was so kind, sweet, and welcoming to us I literally had tattoo therapy while talking to this amazing gal! We also had time to chat with her fellow tattoo artist, Nyra and he's so awesome and cool to talk to too! No matter who you go to at outer limits the experience is always superb and I cant even put into words how great the experience was with them. My first tattoo experience was a nightmare, but Cierra made this experience so amazing!! Cierra really took her time with my friend and I even though our tattoos were pretty minimalistic. I appricate her attention to detail so much! Also if you're out there looking to get a fruit tattoo, CIERRA IS YOUR GIRL #noregrets! Cierra, if you're reading this, Welcome to Cali and I wish you nothing but the best on your career journey! Your customer service is amazing and so is your artwork! Get out there, chase your dreams, you're killing it!
I got a custom piece from Alex the other day and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out! He was willing to work with me on drawing out my ideas and was flexible to make sure I was satisfied with the design. He gave me quality advice on what would be most reasonable and realistic, while putting in high quality time and effort to create and draw this design for me. He was transparent throughout the process and very efficient. The shop itself has a really cool historic unique vibe to it, and everyone working there seems to love and be passionate about what they do. I went back the next day to get my tattoo re-bandaged as mine was leaking a bit, and they were very welcoming and helpful to assist me with this - goes to show that they care about their clients beyond just the tattooing and want to assure the best customer service. I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get some body art done, whether you need consultations or have an idea ready!
Bro, 10 stars! This shop is excellent. I've been to a lot of tattoo shops but this one is a step above. Super clean and friendly and attentive artists and assistants. Brandon did my tattoo and I am blown with his interpretation of what I wanted. I will absolutely be coming back here to get more work done from him and the check out some of the other artists work as well. Again 10/10! **I read some other reviews mentioning that they validate for parking in the structure, I believe that was only something done in the past, as they currently DO NOT validate. Just a heads up if you are unable to find un-metered parking and need to park in the structure**

A particular line from Regina Spektor's beautifully haunting song, "Open", has resonated with me ever since I first heard it- "Potentially lovely, perpetually human." Being that I'm someone who constantly tries to do better and never feels quite -enough- they're words that I could never say too many times to myself, that I'm only human, that I can't do or be everything (and that's okay). When I decided I wanted these words as permanently engraved into my skin as they were on my heart, I wanted just the right artist to do it. After scouring the Internet for shops in the area for a bit, I came across Outer Limits, the oldest tattoo shop in America. Even more impressive than this claim to fame are the artists of this shop- each one skilled tattooers with their own defined styles. Initially I chose Yvonne La for her clean, crisp text and blackwork/dotwork. In January 2017 we had a consultation to talk about the details of the tattoo, at which point she had a finger injury. She suggested other artists to me, but I said I would be okay waiting it out a bit for her to heal up if that was okay with her (I'm a little stubborn and once I get my mind stuck on something it can be a little hard to get me to change direction, haha). She agreed and I placed a deposit for an appointment in late March. March came around and she contacted me to let me know she was not in the right condition to be doing as big of pieces as mine at the time. Once again, she suggested a couple other artists who might be interested in my piece, one of which was her coworker, Laura Wangerin. Laura's work is intricate with floral and geometrical aspects, and she often uses dot work for shading. After looking at her work on Instagram, I was confident she'd also create a piece I'd be proud to wear, so I contacted her and made a consultation for July and then an appt for late October. But with time I got a new job and my days off changed, so I had to change appt dates again...to January 2018. And then in January, Laura came down with the flu and we had to move the appt again, this time just by a week (at this time she offered me an hour of work for free, which she honored at the final appointment and I greatly appreciated). But that day came and we finally began the tattoo! You can imagine my excitement when we got those lines down on my skin after such an incredible wait lol. Laura presented me with the piece all ready on transfer paper. Let me tell you, it was STUNNING and no changes were necessary, so after double checking the spelling she transferred it onto my skin in just the right position and we got started. She warmed me up with a few lines to get me used to the feeling of the machine and then got right into the work; for those of you who haven't gotten a tattoo before, the feeling is akin to a cat scratching your skin, just deeper and constant. In the first session we got the outline and a bit of shading done and a couple weeks later, at the second session (which we almost had to reschedule because I had it down on my calendar incorrect, but Laura graciously worked me into her schedule, and for that I am so so grateful), it was complete! Here we are about a year later and I have a piece I still constantly get compliments on, but, most importantly, one I am incredibly happy to forever wear on my skin. During the process of scheduling and rescheduling the appointment, someone said to me that, "maybe the world [was] trying to tell [me] something", as if I wasn't meant to get this tattoo (My eyes rolled so far back into my head). But now that the work is done, I'll give them that, if anything, the world was trying to tell me that all good things come with time. Thank you, Yvonne, for working with me in the initial stages and recommending Laura to me. Thank you, Laura, for the incredible work and being such a laid back, friendly person to be tattooed by. And thank you to the front desk people for helping schedule this stuff. You guys are all incredible and I highly recommend this place. S**t happens, but waiting for this tattoo to come to fruition was more than worth it. read more

I had a walk with with the artist known as JDawg. What an amazing experience. This was my 8th tattoo and by far my favorite, not just because of how it turned out, but because of the interaction with the staff. This was a very positive, and warm receiving group of people. Whether it's your first time and you're nervous, or your 50th, they will make you feel comfortable in the shop. I will definitely be revisiting this shop for more beautiful work. read more

I messaged Matt the morning of, and by afternoon I was getting tattooed. Really professional shop with friendly, talented artist, and I got to check out the museum in the back. Jose, my artist, was really easy to talk to and just got the concept I wanted down, the details on this smaller piece are awesome. Jose is patient and overall a great person and artist. The price-point was super reasonable and it was a real steal if you ask me. I would recommend this place to my friends, family and for my future tattoos!! -Parking is not the easiest, especially during weekends and nights. But I would gladly walk to the shop just to get tatted again. read more

Everyone was so nice. Jason was the artist who did my tat last Friday. I felt bad for asking breaks because I tend to fidget a lot, but he was cool with it. He made sure that I'm good. One of the artists offered me a snack, too. I wanna get tatted again at the same place! Thank you! :) read more

Came for a tattoo. The tattoo turned out super nice but waited almost 1 hour and a half even with an appointment. The artist came and said she was at the bank . Once she arrived she seemed irritated because I wanted my tattoo super small and dainty, where she was adamant about it not being able to be as small as I wanted it. Lucky enough, there was another lady with a small tattoo with small letters and she was nice enough to show the artist her letters to see if the artist could replicate them. Finally she did, after be annoyed and irritated though. Sadly, this tattoo was for my father who recently passed away unexpectedly. She kinda ruined the experience for me. But anyway here's the tattoo. read more

Hi Betty,…
3rd and FINAL session with Kari. Like Shawn C. stated, Kari has no attitudes and leaves all that outside the front door. She's professional, good with what she does (DUH...tattooing), she's nice and sweet and very welcoming. My last session took a little over an hour and when it was finally completed, I thought the Thai Phraya Nak (Thai Dragon) came out awesome. Check it out: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_INqUkmI5cws0Vqb3RoNEg?select=eoMvw5uZdGEzmo6BB3xcxQ#Su_q0aBkCTbrdD8_zCEilA & http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/_INqUkmI5cws0Vqb3RoNEg?select=eoMvw5uZdGEzmo6BB3xcxQ#-_Zzf0LodIyw8Kx9THXZoQ I'm not sure if I'll be getting anymore tattoos since I kind of went for the gusto with my first one, but if I were to get another one, I'd come back to Kari or any of the tattoo artists at Outer Limits Long Beach. As soon as you walk in, you'll notice the clean establishment, someone will always acknowledge you even though they may be tattooing someone, and you never feel pressured or intimidated to just browse. BTW....on both occasions for sessions 2 and 3, the shop always called you a day or two ahead of your appointment to remind you. Sweet! Thanks Kari and the tattoo artists at Outer Limits Long Beach. read more

Love this place! I spent several months looking online for an artist who I thought would be able to take the image in my head and put needle to skin to make it a reality. I sent a few emails, but never got a reply. Having exhausted all options around me (Seattle) I thought about trying some back home in SoCal. I came across Outer Limits Tattoo and the work of one artist caught my eye.... the super talented Laura Wangerin. I sent her an email saying basically "hey, love your work. Got an idea for a tat. I want to put my moms ashes in the ink. Oh, and I live in Seattle." To my surprise, Laura emailed me back and said none of that would be a problem. I booked my appointment several months out for Dec 23rd, as I would be in town for the holidays. When I arrived for my appointment, Laura remembered I was flying in and asked how my flight was. She took me to her station in back. She showed me what she was thinking in terms of design, size and placement. Everything worked for me so she fired up the stencil and she got to work. 4 hours later, she said she was done and I got to see the finished product. She had exceeded my expectations in every way. In my head, I had set the bar high for what I wanted, as this tattoo was very sentimental to me. Laura crushed it! I can't thank her enough. I will be going back for more work. Laura isn't a fan of a crowd while she works and self described "not a talker." If you want someone who will be your bff while they work, Laura probably isn't for you. If you want someone who puts every bit of effort and concentration they have into their work to make sure it's done right, then Laura is absolutely who you want! The shop itself is easy to find. Plenty of parking at the parking structure a block away. The shop is in a good area, and very clean. The gang at Outer Limits was friendly from start to finish. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking at getting top notch work done. read more

My experience with Outer Limits Tattoo began about 1.5 years ago, when I first reached out to Kari to request a spot on her waiting list. I'd been thinking about my piece for years, and had scrubbed all manner of reviews, portfolios & "Top 10" lists both in California and out as I looked for the perfect artist to take it on. One name that popped up again and again was the "World Famous" Kari Barba. After a series of simple email exchanges, she agreed to take the job if I was willing to wait until the following year on her waiting list. The piece was to be a black & gray leg sleeve, an octopus with tentacles reaching upwards to my thigh. As it's difficult to estimate the number of hours such a piece will take (healing speed, skin tone, etc. are all variables), we booked 12 appointments in advance, figuring I'd visit once a month and finish the piece sometime within that year. I was able to get in a few months early, due to a cancellation on her books, and recently finished the piece. Kari was incredible - I felt privileged to watch as she freehanded the outlines of the piece each session, she was sensitive to the more painful areas around the knee & shin & went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable throughout each long day. The other artists seemed to treat her as something between a friend and a mentor, which says so much as each of the artists are tremendously talented. The atmosphere was comfortable & friendly, with the receptionists never failing to offer food & refreshment as we took the occasional 15 minute break. As for the tattoo itself, It's better than I could have imagined - the texture looks something akin to a photograph if viewed up close. I'm stopped regularly 1-2 x/week as passersby ask to view it, one of the progress shots was featured on the front page of Imgur, and most of all it carries incredible significance for me. My wife will be visiting JoRell next month to start an incredible water color tattoo (see his portfolio, the vivid colors & linework are amazing), and I'm already looking forward to my next piece with Kari. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns about my experience, I've nothing but a 10/10 to give my experience at Outer Limits Tattoo. The photos below are in-progress, and casually taken. Will post healed photos of the completed piece when I can. read more

THE BEST TATTOO SHOP! Mickey is a tattoo goddess!! My tattoo looks as fresh as it did the first day! The entire shop has such a great vibe!! So I've been getting tattooed at Outer Limits for quite awhile now and am Working on my second (technically third! Lol) sleeve from O.L and each tattoo by itself is a masterpiece I must say. However I am particularly obsessed with my tattoo from Mickey T! I am so grateful I found Outer Limits. I originally went to Outer Limits Costa Mesa a few years ago to get cover up work done on old tattoo sleeve scars (I had an entire sleeve from another tattoo shop , *not outer limits * removed with laser tattoo removal so I could get a new sleeve) . Shorty worked her magic and made my sleeve look amazing! No one even knew it was all a coverup! Now I go to the Long Beach Shop and I was extremely lucky to find the tattoo goddess Mickey T and she gave me the most gorgeous skull and raven tattoo! I am so excited to see the next tattoos she comes up with! I saw the stencil and was like, yes this is it!! And it healed amazing!!!! Almost 3 weeks old and it looks as vibrant as the first day! No scars, no scabs! No peeling! It is true magic I've never had such an easy healing experience. Dreaming of my next tattoo from Mickey! read more

I have been wanting to get this song lyric tattoo for years but wasn't sure of the placement or of a good font artist. After literally researching for 3-4 years I found Yvonne on Instagram. I went in for my consultation & then made an appointment for a couple of months later because her books are usually full & I can see why. She's a major perfectionist so you know you'll be in good hands. She definitely exceeded my expectations. Thanks Yvonne!! read more

I came to Outer Limits for my very first tattoo. Very happy I did. Everyone working here just seems super chill and friendly. The shop is also loaded with history. It's a bit stressful trying to find the right place with so many talented artists out there... A few weeks ago I had the idea that I wanted my dads handwriting tattooed on my forearm (from a birthday card he got me) and so I reached out to Yvonne after seeing her immaculate script writing. Not only was she able to accommodate me on the 2nd anniversary of my dads death very last minute, which made it even more meaningful to me, but she made the whole experience awesome and I 100% trusted her process. I love my tattoo so much. Thanks for bringing my dad back to life lol! The handwriting is spot on and I've gotten many compliments on how beautiful it looks. I forever have a visual reminder of him. Amazing. Thanks again, Yvonne! read more

If you're looking for floral work, you will find no better than Laura (Instagram: laura_wangerin). I went in for a coverup, and my expectations were beyond exceeded. She has a soulfulness that is present in her work, and at $175 per hour, you're getting more than what you pay for. Good work doesn't come cheap, and Laura's is excellent. Laura is a pleasure to work with, and I'll be back for future pieces. read more

If you want your tattoo to come out looking great, I definitely recommend for you to get it done here. All their tattoo artists are really talented here. My tattoo artist was Eric, and he was awesome. Super chill, and funny. He made the session comfortable while he was working on my tattoo, and he even cracked a few jokes. He truly did an amazing job with my tattoo. Definitely would go back to him, and I recommend getting your tattoo done by Eric. read more
