His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to bring my ideas to life are unreal. The piece looks better than I could have imagined. Monte is also super easy to work with and makes the long sessions comfortable and fun. Dae has done four fine line tattoos on my arm, and every single one is perfect. Their line work is so clean and precise, and they have such a light hand that the process is actually enjoyable. The shop itself is spotless, professional, and has such a chill, welcoming vibe. If you're serious about getting amazing work done, I can't recommend Monte and Dae enough! They are true artists and made my tattoo experience unforgettable.

I have never had a bad experience here -- not once in the two plus years I've been going here…read more Everyone is welcoming, friendly, and respectful. I see Brian specifically and I can't recommend him enough. I wish I would've been able to meet him sooner. He's covered up a few tattoos seamlessly and I've had a several more larger pieces done by him. They're absolutely beautiful, and something I am truly proud to wear for the rest of my life. I brought a friend to Brian to get her first tattoo and he walked her through everything with patience and respect, making her feel comfortable the whole time. A lot of times when I am out and about, people ask me where I got my tattoos done at and compliment the work he has done. Brian's level of talent is exceptful and reflects through his work. Each piece clearly shows the amount of hardwork, thought, and diligence put behind it. If you're looking for a tattoo shop that is welcoming, passionate about their work, and respectful, look no further and come on in. Below are a few pictures of the tattoos Brian has done for me.

I've been coming here for 3 years. I recommend this shop and any artist in the shop…read more Brian has been my main squeeze, he has done my entire back, my entire leg, and spent time refreshing some of my older and unfinished tattoos. Between my leg and my back, I have racked up somewhere around 40-50 sessions with Brian over the 2.5-3 years that we've been doing business together. In that time, I had to reschedule with him once, and he gave me a few weeks notice. Life happens, its no big deal. Matter of fact, I drove all the way in one weekend from Murrieta, turns out I mixed up my dates and I didn't have an appointment that day. I ended up hanging out with the homies at the shop and Brian found a few hours to put some work in on my leg anyways. The shop maintains a relaxed and comforting atmosphere from the moment you walk in, until the time you leave. Everyone at the shop are good, honest people, who are not afraid to give honest feedback to ensure you get the highest quality and best looking tattoo. Give them a call, I promise you wont be disappointed.

See you then. 5 minutes later I got a call back from them saying that there's an opening, I said Bet, I'll be there in 10. My artist was Artt. I came in with a few ideas and asked how much time he had and we ended up doing 2 tattoos (tbh i wish i did more), i couldn't have asked for a better artist. He was nice, funny, and his lines are clean. He took my ideas, made them his own by adding little details and shading, and I couldn't be happier. 10/10 am coming back for more. Can't wait for the next ones.
