One of the best shops I have been too. We had an appointment with Rob and he was an amazing guy. He was nice, right to the point, and full of amazing punk rock trivia. The prices were very good for the amount of work and detail done. My tattoo looks exactly like the artwork. My girlfriends tattoo he added some amazing shading. He took his time and setup a sterile and organized area. But once he he got to tattooing he was quick and efficient. I highly recommend this shop. read more

I got my third and fourth tattoo here at Sid's! Awesome vibe and environment, the artists are completely awesome, very friendly and funny. The first tattoo I got here was a script tattoo that says "this too shall pass" and after 2 years I'm still in love with it, i went back six months later to get my ankle tattoo and i love love love it soooo much! Great artists and amazing pricing, if you're looking for an amazing tattoo parlor with reasonable prices, come here! You won't leave unsatisfied, I had went to different parlors for pricings on my tattoos and they all wanted to charge $300+ for these two tattoos and when I came here they gave me a reasonable price and I always leave happy! Thank you to the artists that tattooed on me, you guys are awesome and great to talk to when getting inked! Side note: I've been inked 4 times yet I still get really nervous, both times I've been calmed and reassured and talked to me to get my mind of the nerves. The artists here are extremely friendly and just great! I can't emphasize that enough! You guys rock! read more

I was very impressed with my experience at SIDS! I went with a good friend as both of us got our ribs tattooed, which was a scary prospect, but something we had been wanting to do for a long time. I was getting script and she was getting an arrow design. I had a friend who Beam had tattooed years before and it still looked so crisp that we both asked to have him. The experience was great both he and chris (who was not our artist but I would also recommend!) were so professional but also kind and encouraging! I have other tattoos and as this one heals and looks Amazing I wish Beam had done them all! What a talented humble and funny artist it was a great experience! Although ribs are definitely a challenge! read more

If I can put zero stars I would. I came to Sid's Tattoo shop for my first tattoo. The staff was nice and welcoming. However, the tat was a whole other story. I was BEYOND DISAPPOINTED with my tattoo! Especially because my tattoo was a simple infinity sign tattoo. My tattoo was done by ROB. I DO NOT recommend this place to any person. Check out my infinity tattoo done by Rob below. Shout out to A-Town Tattoo shop (Artist:Carl) for fixing my tattoo which is followed by the tattoo done by Rob from Sid's Tattoo. read more

Came in on July 9, 2020 for an appointment to get my first tattoo. Right off the bat, everyone at the shop was welcoming and made me feel right at home. Sid came in a little later and came up with a sketch. I immediately liked it and decided to go forward with his sketch. Before we began, we both stepped out for a smoke and got to know each other a little more and Sid is a pretty cool and down-to-earth guy. During the whole process, he wanted to know if I was alright and to let him know if I needed any breaks to rest or drink water. He was pretty gentle with my skin and his expertise in tattooing shows. We stopped a few times in between for a smoke/water break and the more the piece got completed, the more I liked it! Once I was done, I couldn't believe how it turned out. I had another idea for my shark tattoo when I went in but changed my mind when I saw a photo of another shark tattoo on the wall. I'm so glad I decided to go with the change! read more

Simply the best tattooer in town ! Great place, comfortable, cools guys. "GO GET ONE"!!!

I wrote a review for their previous location and here's an updated one. The wife who ruined my ankle contacted me and said that she "was sorry for not being satisfied with the tattoo". Then she mentioned that her children are her livelihood. Not sorry for my pain and suffering that I went through and said that my review was old and outdated and to consider removing it. Do you know what I went through for her mistake. Close to spending 5k to get rid of it. The tattoo is still visible. Going through laser was fucking tough. It burns your skin and the smell is unimaginable. What about my livelihood? read more

Rob is amazing!!!!I have gone to him for years and will only go to Rob!

Yo, Sid's shop is it! The wife and I had a super cool experience here last that will be with us a lifetime. Very chill and colorful vibe exuding from that place the second you cross the threshold or even if your cruising the Boulevard. Sid took care of my wife's foot tat with ease and flow while Chris created a swooping arched tat over my knee cap, perfect placements by each pro. Props to Lil' Joe for his thoroughness on the prep to make for a smooth operation. We have all intention of returning for some more good time fun, see ya soon. read more

Rob did my tattoo on 12/16/17. He did an amazing job took around an hour. It was my first tattoo so I did move quite a bit. He was quick and patient, considering it was in an awkward place (my tattoo). I'm now fully healed and it is beautiful. Thank you Rob you rock! read more

Talk about a great experience. Got a big dagger done tonight by William German. I've been to many shops and the attention to detail by these artists, is on point and the charisma of German makes me want to make the drive just to talk to him. I gave him a general idea of what I wanted, and it came out better than I would have ever imagined. Definitely will be back for the rest of the space I got. Thanks to all of Sid's artists for making this such a great experience. read more

Went on impulse to get simple line work on my foot. Epic fail. Over priced and didn't turn out like the picture I had supplied. After promised "a great job" and "I can definitely mimic that simply" I was left disappointed. I'll be getting laser tattoo removal. read more

Sid gave me a completely original tattoo that healed in 5 days. I was always a black/grey guy in the past, and decided to go with traditional this time. It is a huge chest piece, and he managed to blend it in with my others. I told him what i wanted, he used his own creativity to come up with what is now my favorite art on my body. The only problem...i did not go to him first!!! It was pretty painful, but with how fast it healed, i am fine with the 4 hours of pain. This was at his new location, never went to the old place. read more

BEAM!! Beam is the best! Super rad style. You should go to Beam for your tattoo's or you are blowing it.

I've been going to Sid for 20 years. There are times I've had to wait a little bit for Sid to finish up with someone else but when it comes to putting something permanent on my body I'd want him to take the time to finish my tattoo properly and not rush just cause someone else is waiting. If anyone asks me for a tattoo shop referral I always send them to Sids. read more

Sid is awesome! He gave me exactly what I wanted and did it very quickly. I got the words Grace and Peace under my arms. I though each word would take an hour or two but he did each in under 30-40mins; they are good size tattoos. Sid is a super funny and chill guy. He's professional but makes you feel comfortable and at home. If you want a tattoo call Sid!!! read more

I had a tattoo done by Rob and I'm extremely unhappy with it. Asked for simple linework and thought it looked decent in the shop, but once I got home and took off the bandage I immediately broke into tears. Came to this shop because of great reviews I've seen on Yelp, and I really wish I hadn't. He didn't have me sign a waiver or consent form, the linework is extremely sloppy, the shading is super uneven, and the lettering is unevenly spaced. I've already requested a consultation for removal. Girl next to me had a tattoo done by Sid which turned out great, but I wasn't as lucky. Most likely won't be coming back to this shop, extremely disappointed with my tattoo. read more

I've been getting tattooed by the owner Sid for 2 years now. Sids work is well respected and stands out compared to any traditional work I've seen. The shop vibe is very friendly and cleanliness is something they take pride in. If you want to have tattoos that turn heads and always start conversations get yourself down to Sids tattoo parlor in Santa Ana and get some work done. read more

I'm SO happy with my experience here! The employees were so nice and welcoming! Joe did my tattoo and Beam did my friends and they were both fantastic. They walked us through the process and made this experience so much more fun! Thank you Sids! :) read more

I made an appointment with Sid for a Saturday at 2pm. When I arrived, there was no one there. Someone finally came in at 3pm when I was driving out of the parking lot. Then, I was told that Sid had the day off and was not aware of an appointment. They said that the person I made the appointment with always forgets to write it down or let the tattoo artist know. (Maybe they should have someone else answering the phone!) He said to come back the next day. I did and Sid was not in yet. When he finally came in, I waited over an 1 1/2 hours while he chatted with everyone in the shop, sat down to eat lunch and watch TV and then slowly get prepared to do my tattoo. I get that a tattoo shop is more of a chill environment but this was ridiculous. Finally got my tattoo which ended up pretty good. Six months later when I was ready for another tattoo, because of some really good reviews, I decided to give Sid's another try. Called on Friday and made appointment for Sunday at 3:30. When I arrived, there was no one there (again!). All locked up. I waited in the parking lot until 4pm. Called them and left a message. Never received a call back. I don't care how good he is - The service there sucks. And they don't seem to care. I will never ever consider Sid's Tattoo Parlor again. read more
