My 20 year old daughter came here yesterday, 6/28/2022 wanting to get her lip re-pierced and did…read morehowever, the person named Sean, that re-pierced her lip did so slightly above the the first hole which in turn, caused the hole to become longer and larger. We took pictures of the hole and went back to committed ink to ask Sean why the hole was now longer and bigger but he insisted that he pierced the same hole. In the picture you can clearly see that the hole is in fact, larger and longer than than the original hole which means that if he had actually re-pierced the same hole there would be no rip like trauma to the area. When we asked for a refund since the job was not done correctly, we were then told that she had signed a disclaimer. However, she had in fact NOT signed any form therefore, legal action will be taken accordingly. Very unprofessional.

What won the contest was me mentioning that I wanted to get a pray mantis, and Jaime had found one on the front door of the shop. She snapped a few pictures of it, traced it, and that's he little dude we put in there. We did an olive branch because my grandmas first job was picking olives, and my daughter's name is Olive. A California poppy because I'm born and raised in Northern California. And pink azaleas because I had one in the front yard of my child hood home. My experience was top tier, Jaime was awesome and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you again Jaime.

I came to Universal Rites in search for a studio that had good vibes and talented artists. My first…read moreimpressions of the studio were, it's clean, the lobby was welcoming and had good seating with a portfolio of each artists work. I was greeted by one of the Tattoo Artists, Raul. Raul greeted me as I walked into the studio and quickly made me feel at home and walked me through all of the different Tattoo Artists work and booth areas. I left my contact information for a consultation with Raul and was contacted the very next day to begin my tattoo journey. Raul got me into his booth for tattooing the design I chose two weeks later from my consult. I have gotten over 36 hours of tattoo work done in the past. Hands down, my experience at Universal Rites Tattoo was one of my better experiences while getting tattooed. Raul's booth had a super comfortable table to lie on while being tattooed, his tattoo machines are newer models that don't hurt like the older machines used to and his booth was filled with art that he hand painted himself. Raul's work shows for itself, his line work is some of the best I've come across. My tattoo process was seamless, damn near painless and some of the more affordable prices I've come across. I'm excited to keep scheduling more future work through this studio and hopefully try out the other great Artists who work there.
