My schedule isn't the most open so he passed my info onto Bris who contacted me right away, which was a Friday. She was able to schedule an appointment with me in 3 days for Monday(appointment only, shop is closed that day). We both discussed what I'd like the tattoo to look like and the location. I'm so pumped on the tattoo, especially with the sentimental value to me. The experience was fantastic, super chill and comfortable. I recommend Bris and this shop to anyone and can't wait to get additions to what she already did. Thanks Bris!

We were interested in a tribal tattoo and have been looking for a while but most places we have…read morebeen to did not feel welcoming or they voice their negative opinions of what we want to put on our body. They made us feel stupid for wanting something on our bodies that represented something important to us. As soon as we walked into Tribal Roots we were greeted and welcomed as if we were returned customers. Gabe listened to what we wanted and we told him he had free reign with his artistic interpretation. There was no judgment from anyone. The place is clean, all the artist sanitize their area before their appointments arrive, and everyone is chillaxed there. As we spent our time there we felt as if we were part of their tattoo family. The work that Gabe did was amazing. He is talented and art is unique. If you looking for tribal art, he is your guy. His care and attention are impeccable. His schedule is booked in advance, so if you want a piece of art from him will need to be patient. You will not regret it.

Even tho I was the one paying and I was there as a minors adult guardian. I was about to drop $300 on piercings at a place that values and respects its customers so well that they wouldn't even let them use the restroom. After waiting over an hour! Pathetic. Don't waste your time or money. There are over 1 million tattoo shops in San Diego that do just as good of a job, but actually treat their customers with respect. Fucking joke of a shop.

I've had my fair share of tattoos being active duty military. Some on deployments, some stationed…read moreoverseas and some in the states. But I don't think any tattoo I have gotten compares to Hiro's. I hadn't planned on getting this piece done for a long time because the empty space on my forearm had been a problem. The space was small, the many and different designs I asked for was always "too detailed" or "impossible" for other artists. So I've been really lagging on getting the space filled in because I care about what I put on my body. I was on the verge of believing that maybe these artists were right and that I had to go for something more simple. But Hiro changed that. & he told me that there was no excuse for why other artists couldn't do it. He didn't make me feel bad for asking for something unique or for the design being "too much." He made me feel like it was easy to make happen and showed me that it wasn't about limitations. You can tell that he is precise, skilled, and confident when tattooing. He proved to me that there was always a way to make it happen--if you do it right. He does a lot of traditional Japanese tattoos and the fine line work he does is very surprising. I don't understand how he was able to put so much detail on a small space LMAO. It's almost microscopic! The healing process surprised me. Not a single blowout, no excessive bleeding during or after (in fact, I'd barely bled at all LOL). He was not heavy handed, I barely even felt the needle and it was almost painless. Even during the session he would always check in with me and ask me if I needed a break or if I was doing alright. To me, that speaks a lot because it showed me he cares about his clients well being during the session. I am more than happy and satisfied with his work, and I recommend anyone to go see Hiro. The shop overall was very welcoming and friendly. There's a bunch of other talented artists there that care about their craftsmanship as well. And I couldn't believe how reasonable their prices were, considering the care and quality of the work they gave. I have gotten other tattoos for a more expensive price with horrible quality. These people at Frosty's Tattoo Studio are not lazy and will get you right. Im sure this shop is newer and not a lot of people know about it yet. Please give this place a visit, they deserve the attention. I will be adding a photo of my tattoo in this review. It is still unfinished, and I will post another review of it in the future when it is completed. But take a look at how it came out and how it has healed so far. I will be going back to Hiro to finish the shading and add the unfinished details on my tattoo soon. & I will more than likely have Hiro do all my future tattoos from now on.

Cohav came highly recommended in my local Facebook group, and after seeing a video of her charming studio, I eagerly booked an appointment for December 25th. The journey from Santa Monica was smooth, and Cohav's studio lived up to its cozy charm. Beyond her impressive skills, Cohav's patience, knowledge, and positive energy made the experience delightful. My tattoo turned out exactly as I envisioned. Cohav isn't just a talented artist; she brings a beautiful vibe to the entire process. Don't miss out--this is your sign to go and get that tattoo!

It was a pretty easy one so it took more time to set up than to do the actual tattoo but I had a great time chatting with Shane through out the process.
