Sonia S.

An absolute professional. Rick's artistry and ability to collaborate on my design was my best tattoo experience yet. Love this tattoo and look forward to getting more of his work done.

My mom and I decided to get matching tattoos in representation of my grandmother. With extensive research on multiple tattoo artists, I decided to schedule our tattoo with Paula. Paula was very friendly, comforting, and reassuring. She was patient while we were deciding on location and relocating the stencil a couple of times. It was my moms first time getting a tattoo so at first she was nervous, but Paula was so light on her hand that she didn't once complain about the pain. Afterward, we were both in love with the daintiness of the artwork! She perfectly captured what we were both imagining. The skin is now healed and we are both so happy with the choice of having Paula be part of this moment with us. When we showed my grandmother, even she wanted to get one as well

This is the tattoo that I got... it's my mom's actual handwriting tattooed on my forearm by Paula... it reads, "Love always, Mom"

Wow! I got my first tattoo when I had just turned 18 (right of passage, I guess) While scrolling through IG, I came across Paula's page and I was so impressed! I had been wanting to get a tattoo in my mom's honor (my mom passed away on 1/31/21) Paula was so gentle and honestly, I didn't feel anything! RicRocks is not like any other tattoo place (with samples on the wall, etc) it's super clean, super zen with live plants inside! I totally recommend Paula and everyone at RicRocks... you won't be disappointed

Highly recommend RicRoks. Been here a few times over the years so I could not wait to get my newest piece done by Drew! I appreciate that Ric and Drew made sure that my friend and I were okay offered snacks and drinks, not many shops care that much. It was well worth the travel and I am in love with my tattoo!

Andrew has handled all of my tattoos on my body! Always been very fun to work with, super chill ass vibe! One of the many things I love, is that when I have an idea I trust his input on the idea and together we create something amazing! Always exceeds my expectations! Definitely will continue coming back till I'm fully covered! Here are a few pics of some work! Recently he did the sides and back of my head will be showing that off soon! Also everyone in the shop is super nice and fun to be around they really do make you feel comfortable when you are getting work done! Thank you for all the great work!

Such a beautiful space! It doesn't look like your traditional tattoo shop, as soon as you walk into the space it's so relaxing and calming. The staff are all very nice and super welcoming as soon as you walk through the door. The owner Rick was super friendly and just had all around great vibes! Andrew did my tattoo, he was also super patient with us during the process since I did it for my birthday with a group of friends. For being an impulsive decision, it was an amazing/fun experience! We will be making it a tradition to come back on all of our birthdays to get tattoos together!

This is a tattoo of a little seedling

I cannot say enough good things about this business. I walked in to get a tattoo and was immediately greeted and assisted by Andrew with a my vision. Everything is clean. All the staff is very professional. All my expectations were met with my tattoo. I will definitely be going back

Rick is absolutely a man of the people. Easy to communicate with, collaborate, and get exactly what you want done for a good price. I've been going to RicRoks for over 10years now. Andrew is also the man, down to earth guy who will take the extra time to make sure you get what you came for how you wanted it. The shop is always clean, smells good, well lit, and they even maintain the sidewalk in front. Can't go wrong with RicRoks. Tell them I sent you

Jordan R.

Paula was so so kind and made sure I was comfortable through the whole experience. My friend and I walked in for a quick consultation and she was able to book us in the day after. Her attention to detail and carefulness was so thoughtful and I'd recommend her to anyone

Sarahi G.

I had been wanted a fine line tattoo for a very long time and after a while of research on artists I booked an appointment with Paula , she was amazing I came in very nervous but she made me feel very comfortable I explained how I wanted the tattoo and her sketch came out even better than I expected. The environment was great I felt very relaxed . She was great ! Her attention to detail was amazing and I absolutely LOVED how it came out.

Custom ornamental tattoo, adding to the lunar/solar/constellation theme started on my hand.
DJ B.

Rick and Paula are awesome! Rick was fun to chat with and Paula was very sweet and accommodating. I requested a custom piece after seeing her work, and sent Paula my inspiration and photos of my existing tattoos to tie them together. Paula was very collaborative and responsive while designing my piece, even up until the day of. And the design came out so well! I'm very happy with her work, and I look forward to building my sleeve with Paula more in the future

Detailed view of Kukulcán piece done by Ric.
William E.

This review is long overdue. I've gotten a total of four amazing pieces here at RicRoks and I love each one for a variety of reasons. My first one was a tattoo of a portrait my daughter made of us when she was five. Manny did an amazing job keeping all the details and imperfections of my daughter's art. The next three were done by Ric, the owner of the shop. The first one was dedicated to my son, his Mayan spiritual guide Kukulcán. The second piece from Ric was a memorial piece for my best friend who was a big wrestling fan and Dodgers fan. So I asked for Blue Demon. My third piece from Ric was my wife's name on my ring finger. He did this piece free hand and it is beautiful. Beyond the tattoos, this shop has an amazing vibe to it. Everyone is extremely chilled, attentive, respectful, welcoming, and friendly. It all stems from Ric. He has an amazing attitude and you can feel the positive energy from his being. I highly recommend getting any tattoo work here. Will definitely continue coming here.

Tracy at the front desk was super helpful with check in and my questions about jewelry and what not. My one feedback and note would be to mention that visitors do have the option to "try-on" jewelry if they are torn between sizes or colors of jewelry because I think some newcomers wouldn't be aware they could do that if it's not mentioned. My friend asked to try a couple of jewel sizes and that was really helpful with decision making. (By try-on, you are just holding the jewelry piece up to yourself and checking yourself out in the mirror :P ) They offer titanium and gold jewelry here. Many beautiful pieces. They also sell saline spray (for $15 if I remember correctly) which I picked up since I was traveling and will be traveling again. Lacy pierced me and she was soooo amazing! She was really through with her explanations and I felt very comfortable with her. Everything went so smoothly and it was mostly painless - only a pinch in the process but no discomfort after the jewelry was already in. My friends and I left with super cute nostril piercings! Highly recommend this studio. Very grateful and happy with the experience here.

"Regarding your wait time, management confirmed it was significantly shorter than stated" - attached are photos at 6:20pm on 4/11/26 aka the time i went in & upon arrival i asked to use the restroom, i took a selfie amongst other pics & the date & time can be found on each one. When leaving, i was asked for my information & to enroll in ur $5 off coupon which was at 8:16pm on 4/11/26. almost exactly two hours, not sure which manager looked into that but i did not randomly chose that number. Consultation - Tabitha asked via phone if i was given the option or made aware of threadless vs threaded jewelry, i was not nor was I given the option between the two. (Im assuming since you guys only carry threadless anyways.) Lacy said the piercings could get expensive when downsizing multiple sizes & when custom jewelry becomes a thing (she gave me an example of hers that have a wide flat back) which i understood. I was never told the jewelry on hand would be so flimsy or else i would have left with a spare set. or why wouldnt that be offered if its a known thing that theyre just going to break soon after? "our management team has reached out multiple times" - Tabitha called me on 4/20/26 at 2:03pm post yelp review & asking me to elaborate which i did. she apologized & said she would investigate & immediately followed up asking if i could "take down the yelp review" I initially agreed but im so glad i didnt. All that was asked of me was to pick a date & time & she will have someone replace the jewelry that broke at the el monte location but she would have to call me back & let me know if there was someone at that location who COULD do it & that she would call back. when she called back at 2:38pm 4/20/26 she stated ordering a threaded set would take 6-8 weeks & that she will order my downsize. we agreed on that solution & hungup. Then 4/28/26 Tabitha texts me & there was no solution so we could agree on so thanked her & left it at that (screenshots attached as well) "waived fees" - crazy cause you guys swear this is something special. when i get my nails done & one breaks theyre quick to fix it FOR FREE & not keep reminding me that breakage could happen nor badgering me that IM at fault for it/knew the risks. Theres no fee to waive if i want to put the jewelry in my own face for free which you guys denied me of because u didnt want to mail them to me. "we offered appointments at our other locations with free parking lots" - text attached of Tabithas convo but she definitely stated STREET parking, exactly how the LA location is so.. not sure where the "Convenience & Options" were. sorry it came to this Leo, maybe ask both sides next time instead of just listening to one.

I had to wait a year to get my appointment because of how talented Bryan Ramirez is. I walked in, very hyped up, with a tiny 3x4 old ID picture of my father. Bryan treated the image on his computer, expanded it, and kept in touch throughout the process. After a few visits, he carefully listened to my project vision, embraced it, and, most importantly, provided real feedback about size, positioning, and expectations. I have a few other tattoos from multiple artists, and I can confidently say the level of service and quality here is top notch. The previous artists weren't even close to this level of skill. The day I showed up for my session, I felt heard and taken care of. Bryan paused whenever I communicated that I needed a break, and the project was finished in a few hours. His attention to detail is incomparable. If you're searching for an experienced, skilled, detail-oriented tattoo artist, look no further. Contact Reservoir Tattoo Studio and speak with Bryan Ramirez, though I'm sure any artist linked to this studio is just as talented and professional. Can't wait to return for a future session.

This isn't my first tattoo, and my husband and I have been following the after care and have been careful. It's on the healing stage, but you can tell that the corner line differs and there is a smudged area on both tattoos. For both these it was $240 total and done by Chris.

He wanted double bands around his forearm and Sam was able to sketch it out and do the tattoo on the same day. We were in and out within 1.5 hours. He explained the process and aftercare which made getting a tattoo seamless and less daunting. I was on the fence about getting a tattoo but my friend said if he got one I would have to get one too. I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.
