Mike did an amazing job, would def come back. Great punk rock music to set the vibe, everyone is friendly as well.

This tattoo shop was great! From the moment my fiancé and I walked up and asked the guy painting on the outside of the shop if they were open we felt welcomed. He said yes, walk-in's were welcome and proceeded to escort us in. He introduced us to Chef the artist that would be doing the tattoo and after a quick conversation on the piece was going to be he drew it up and gave my fiancé different options. Chef was quick and professional and the biggest Godzilla fan we've ever met! I would definitely recommend this shop and team for any tattoo work, you won't be disappointed! read more

I was visiting from Carlsbad having dinner with a friend. Somehow we got into a conversation with the manager of the restaurant about tattoos. He recommended Renaissance Studios. I went in the next day and had a consult with Evan about my idea for a cover up. He came back with an amazing design and we went for it. Evan far exceeded my expectations with his artistry and execution. I was blown away by the end product. The details, the colors, all of it was pure genius and perfection! I had another design I wanted done but I didn't have the time. I will definitely be driving back up again. Evan is a Master! Thanks again! read more

I've seen Chad quite a few times working on some AWESOME pieces. First one was some beer hops and barley. I gave him the idea of what I wanted and he jumped on it, producing the best depiction of what I envisioned. Second is a half sleeve piece that he and I talked about at length. We agreed a great horned owl with a candlelit lantern would be the route we wanted to go. We are almost done with the background and couldn't be more happy with the results. Also did a fun grim reaper as well which turned out insanely awesome! Highly recommend Chad!!! read more

I've gotten tattooed by Chad twice, both Pokémon themed, one on my chest and one on my forearm. This man has skills. Both were done relatively fast and yet were very detailed. He checks up on you during the session to see if you need a break and he also checks in to see how's it healing. Words are cheap however so just take a look for yourself and you'll see why I'm still going to go to Chad for all my future Pokémon pieces! read more
