There are not enough positive things I can say about this studio! The environment is incredibly welcoming and safe for people of all backgrounds, and the artistry done here is amazing. The shop is extremely clean and makes you feel comfortable about getting a tattoo done there. I have had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Cindy here at Strata, and she brought my vision for my half-sleeve to life. Not only does she have the most beautiful work, but you can tell she truly cares about her clients and that she truly loves her art. It is an honor to be able to carry her art with me every day. I look forward to seeing her again soon to continue the work on this sleeve! read more

Wow! This has got to be the nicest tattoo shop I've ever stepped foot in! It was comforting to immediately get a whiff of green soap and windex which tells me everything is sterile and clean ! My tattoo artist Marie Vlasic was fantastic and her honesty and confidence put me at ease with my decision! She was gentle giving the tattoo and is very charming and easy to talk to! With all the safety precautions and time and care AND ON TOP OF THAT THE ARTISTRY! Like woooow id definitely drive all the way back here just to go to this tattoo shop again! read more

Every artist there is phenomenal with their own style. I've had most of all my tattoo work done at that shop over the last 20 years and every one of them is a masterpiece. Friendly shop great people and you will enjoy your experience of your tattoo. I love that shop and I love Jay homes it and everybody that works there. read more

Jay'e is hands down is the absolute BEST artist!! She did an amazing job on my Hello Kitty 1/2 sleeve several years ago and it still looks beautiful! If you're looking for a blast of color art Jay'e is the person to do it! She is extremely artistic and talented. You can tell who a real artist is when you just give them a vague idea of what your vision is for your piece and they use their creativity to bring it to life far more than your expectations exceeded! After almost 8 years I traveled all the way from Chicago to have her do another masterpiece, and she killed it!! On my left upper thigh she left me a beautiful Hamsa Hand with the evil eye. The colors are so vibrant & sooo many of them!! Just like my 1/2 sleeve the colors are phenomenal! I am in love with my new piece of art! I highly recommend Jay'e without a doubt if you're looking for an artist! She has a beautiful shop, is quick, efficient & in a very sterile environment! Jay'e is a ball of energy with a quirky personality you cannot help but love her! She radiates a beautiful aura of energy! I will forever be a client!!! read more

Love this place. They have some amazing artists. The vibe here is also so cozy and cool.

My wife and I were in Palm Springs for the weekend and wanted to get some tattoo work done. We found Strata Tattoo Lab and reviewed all the artists portfolios and were really impressed with Ken Lightcap's portfolio. That day I began day 1 of what would be a 13 hour tattoo over 2 sessions. The tattoo came out amazing and of the many tattoos I have, the artwork from Ken could be the best of all. Ken was super easy to work with and did an amazing job customizing my tattoo. We were so impressed, we went back to get couples tattoos. Thanks again Ken / We'll be back! read more

Jay'e is a total rock star! I cannot be happier with my recent tattoo. She is by far the most communicative, professional, and artful tattoo artist I have worked with. I thought this would be my last as I am no spring chicken however she has completely changed my outlook on the possibility of adding more art on my canvas in the future! I highly recommend her and the shop is a true gem! read more

First let me say that I drove 40 minutes to go there to get my tattoos each way from Palm Desert. Ken Lightcap, one of the artists has done 95% of my tattoos. A total of 7 so I liked his work. Everyone is very friendly at that shop and the girls were very nice as you get to know them with time but things turned to be a very bad experience with my last Tattoo done by Ken Lightcap. As alway Ken has always quoted me a price on all of my tattoos before getting my tattoos and Medusa was no exemption. He quoted me $600. On the second day after he got tired he change his price to $2000. I already had paid him $1200 but I can't believe he did this when he was almost done. He then turned very nasty and did a facebook post saying very negative things and lies about me. I gifted him jewelry, skulls, gifts for his daughter etc. I am disappointed and hurt that he turned on me for not agreeing on how much he raised the price. I would not RECOMMEND him as he does not stay true to his original quote on price. However, I would recommend the shop. read more

Went to Strata Tattoo to see Ken Lightcapp after he worked on my sleeve design during the shutdown. Location was super clean. Followed covid guidelines to a T. I was the only client for most of my stay. Ken was extremely knowledgeable. Explained the process step by step. Took extra time on the stencil and placement to ensure perfection. My lines are flawless. It hasn't even been a week and I get comment after comment about my piece. This tattoo was my first tattoo in 20 years and I couldn't have picked a better Artist to complete my vision. I can't wait to see the completed product. More reviews and pics to follow. Thank you @lightcapptattoo read more

I was lucky enough to get an appointment with Jay'e to get started on my semi suit, starting with fill work on my arm. The atmosphere of the shop is very inviting, very inclusive, very professional, and a lot of fun. We had great conversations the whole time and she worked hard to do a job that was both great and comfortable for me in very sensitive areas. I will be coming back to this shop as long as I live here and it's still around! If you can get a booking, it's worth the wait. read more

This shop is a little gem in the desert. I had a scheduled appointment with artist Cindy. IG: @pineneedlestattoo I love her delicate yet solid work. Cindy checked all my boxes for artists I've seen in the past! Professional. Prompt. And pleasant. The shop was clean and well decorated too. Throughout my appointment, Cindy kept the conversation funny while still making sure I was comfortable. After we were done, she gave careful care instructions. The piece is healing so well! I'm more than thrilled. And will be back to Strata and Cindy for sure! You can book her and the other artists through the shop page. read more

Ken did my tattoo and was phenomenal. His mastery of colors and lines really made my tattoo pop. This is by far the best experience I've had getting tattoos. He was very sanitary and was very thorough with making sure I understood everything, including post care. I wish I could give 10 stars to this shop, as it is without a doubt my new favorite place and am looking forward to my next tattoo. read more

I got a cute little ankle tattoo from Kei last week and had a great experience. From start to finish she was incredibly sweet and genuine- offering to move the stencil as many times as I wanted (we moved it 3-4 times to get it exactly in the right place and she didn't mind at all). She filled me in on all of the steps of the process since this was only my second tattoo and I got my first one 18 years ago! I loved her design and the colors and shading that she did. At the end she told me to do a close up review and let her know if there was anything I wanted her to change. Probably most importantly though, She gave me her number and told me to reach out if I had any questions at all about after care. I took it down but never thought I would actually use it. Fast forward to about 2 hours after we left and I totally freaked out because my tattoo cover was leaking. I texted her and she responded right away and let me know that it was normal, but told me what to do going forward. I would highly recommend strata and Kei!!! read more

If you are looking for a place with amazing artists this is your place! I recently had my shoulder done and I can't tell you how happy I am. Jaye is so amazing she did such a great job. I'm not a local resident so getting this custom piece done without a physical consult can be tricky. She was able to talk me through some things that I liked and she created a beautiful piece. She went above and beyond my expectations! Thank you again and go LA Kings!!! read more

My hubby and I wanted to do something special and get tattoos together as a kind of vow renewal. We do like our tattoos and feel they turned out okay but aren't exactly matching what we wanted in the photos we brought in for reference. Our main issue was Balentine our artist. She was very condescending and rude throughout our time with her and didn't really listen to exactly what we wanted. She made us feel like we were getting a trashy tattoo and would probably want to cover up later on. We were met by other nice artists and front reception after the fact and we are sorry we weren't able to have a good experience with another artist. This parlor is going through a move and I feel we were passed off to the newest artist as the others are busy setting up the new location. I would recommend waiting until the move is over and asking for a more seasoned artist when looking. Someone who's lived a bit more and has learned the art of listening to the customer and what is important to them. read more

Jaye Jones and staff are amazing! The shop is clean and organized, the vibe is relaxed and comfortable and the level of communication is extraordinary. Jaye truly wants you to leave happy! I came in with a large back piece I wanted covered up with a similar design but in color -I was basically asking her to finish another artists's unfinished piece from 20 years ago. She delivered! My tattoo is everything I have ever wanted in a piece of body art and more! I would recommend Jaye Jones and Strata to anyone and everyone and will be a return customer! read more

Don't go anywhere else if you want top quality work that's going to last. All of the employees at Strata make sure that you get exactly what you want, and that it works with your price range. Good people doing great stuff. The shop is kept impeccably clean and is covered in decorations from local artists and vendors. These guys support small businesses and the community in general, they make sure to donate to the causes that are important to them. All the tattoos and piercings I've had done at Strata have surpassed my expectations, and if I weren't moving to the east coast I would never go anywhere else. Jay'e, Shane, Mike, Aaron, Josiah, you guys are the best! read more
