Josh is a very talented tattoo artist He gives excellent service. He listens to your ideas and gives his input as well. He did these pieces tonight. Going back for more next weekend
I've been going to Aaron for a couple years now and he's absolutely amazing and my go to guy for traditional tattoos. I've picked things from his flash and also asked him to draw some original art. He's always professional, kind, and willing to work with me to make sure I'm happy with whatever design I'm getting. His work also always heals nicely and I haven't had an issue with scaring or loss of color vibrancy. The shop overall is very nice. All the artists there are friendly and it's very clean. I've recommended several people to go here and everyone has had a positive experience.
Long overdue, but I was incredibly disappointed about my first tattoo. I got it fixed at a shop in LA since then, but please proceed with caution if you choose to go here for the first time. I asked for a lotus flower with a reference photo & I was given balloons (?) The R looked like an N & the S looked like a nub. Also look at that e, what was goin on there, anyways, I wouldn't recommend this spot.
I was researching a tattoo shop and this was the fourth won. I finally found down the street from my house so the reviews were positive, so I called them they asked me to come in that same day and Gabriel who helped me nice polite professional. Clean, nice set up of a shop with music and screen TV's that play great old school movies, at least when I was there... lol I went in for a ankle name cover up that I had for 30 years. Gabriel did a awesome job. Great hand which I didn't feel much pain . Cover up with a nice rose. Yip the old faithful rose tattoo!
I had been interested in getting a tattoo for years now but never found the 'right' tattoo artist. A friend of mine had me look up Don Coyote (Hector) on Instagram & check out his work. He had gotten work done by him & I love my friends sleeves. He also had me check Rafas Insta & work & I actually chose to go with Rafa (bcuz of the attention to detail for my eye piece attached). I met with Rafa on a Friday for a quote (consultation) a few months ago & gave him a downpayment & set my appt for 1/26/21. (As I've informed Rafa, I typically am an impulsive person in which if I want something, I get it then & there & typically don't wait) but as he discussed with me, sometimes, with art work, it's not possible. I personally understood, these guys are artists & need not be rushed & if you want good work, the price & time put into the piece is important. I have my next appt set in 4 months. They do accept walk ins (if its possible) but prefer an appt to specifically dedicate a set amount of time. When I went in yesterday, the ambient was great & I felt absolutely comfortable. I went alone since my friend was working & I had the day off. These guys are all great & professional. I highly recommend them. [Side story, this is my second tattoo ever in my life & I waited 12 years before getting this new one. My first piece was a disappointment to say the least (the price matched the quality of work) & might get it covered up in a year.]
Didn't have a good experience at all. I walked in to an empty shop and the one guy that was there at the time helped me right away but was rude. As I was explaining to him what I wanted three more guys that worked there walked in all staring at me and making me feel extremely uncomfortable. I had wanted a small tattoo on my hand and he condescendingly asked if I was sure I wanted it there and that I should fear ppl judging me. Trying to embarrass me, and when I replied that I didn't care if people judge me he said that I should, coming from a person who has way more tattoos then me, like really dude? . So I end up changing my mind and placing the tattoo on my right wrist, when he was ready he called me over and told me to lay down for a wrist tattoo. It didn't make sense to me at all, I have my left wrist done and I got to sit in a chair for it. When I questioned him he told me that this was how it was supposed to be done. So I lay there while he did my right wrist feeling extremely uncomfortable and what makes it worse by the end he did a horrible job for such a simple small tattoo. I had asked for a cursive word and he couldn't get it right. In the picture you can see how where it's supposed to be a nice curve on the T instead it's pointy. This place was just all in all a very horrible experience.
I messaged Bryan online (Instagram) we made an appointment and when I came by he priced out the tattoos. He said a word is $100 (so it is. A little pricier than other places). Then for adding a small cross was another $50 so overall it was $150 But it is a nice place, clean, professional, nice dudes. He does hella good work and you can see on the pictures on his Instagram. Two other groups arrived after me for him so he's definitely in demand. He's a nice dude, like everyone else trying to earn his money. My tattoo came out beautiful, he's definitely a perfectionist which is AWESOME when it comes to a tattoo. I'm definitely coming again and I'm bringing my sisters.
What can I say I was introduced here to Adam by a coworker of mine I wanted a tattoo and he delivered I've also had the pleasure of getting blessed by Rafa the owner turns out he knows an old band member of mine small world. I'll start by the vibes. Very welcoming you feel comfortable and it's very chill. Always has some movie or music playin on the like 5+ TVs. I'm pretty sure all of my future tattoos will be in house as all artist have their own style and pretty much specialize in their own thing pretty rad!
Amazing shop! Very sanitary and friendly! I was very nervous to get my first tattoo but Hector made me feel comfortable and he did an amazing job!he always makes sure I see that he is putting a new needle in the machine. I came back a year later to get my dads handwriting tattooed. Hector is awesome and talented! Love this place ! Never going anywhere else for my tattoos
So I just want to take the time and give a shout out to my Main dude!! @BryantGerardo for hooking it up with one of the Illest tatt!! Also wanna let everyone out there if you trying to get a quality piece of Art, visit this shop! Any one of them Boys got the #INKTALENT So, whenever you are looking for your next idea for a tatt... hit up the homie #BryantGerardo.

When you see Rafa on Instagram you will notice he is really good at any and every style. He also likes comic book characters like me. Next thing you know, I found my artist. The inside of this shop is exceptionally clean. Even the restroom; spotless. Tips: try not to bug these guys for super small regular stuff. Would you ask Van Gogh to paint you a stick figure? Lol. Save your money, know what you want and get quality work for life! read more

Went in this last Sunday morning for a portrait with Danny and this guy killed it. It was my first big piece so I was kind of nervous but he made me feel as comfortable as possible. Turned into a whole day thing bc of tattoo placement but this man handled and made the experience super pleasant. First piece of many. Definitely hit him up for your next tattoo you won't regret it. Big gracias again for creating such a chill atmosphere I appreciate you. read more

I've been going to Hector for my ink work since I was 18. He's always been very accommodating to the times and dates that I've scheduled my work to be done on me. There's not one style of ink that hector cannot do, he's your man! His style and techniques are always on Point. I can truly say that I will never be going to any other tattoo artist. I love my body art and couldn't be happier. read more

This review is long overdue, i came in this shop hoping to get my tattoos retraced and have them looking more alive and thick I have a cross and a tiny heart in between my fingers. Well I'd like to start off with how the environment was when I walked in, it was not friendly at all! I should have known something was off when "my tattoo artist" was extremely rude. I knew I should have walked out but I just really wanted my tattoos fixed. So as I sat there it was dead silent after he was done he told me the price $80 keep in mind that I already had the tattoos he did this in under 15 min. If I can be honest it wasn't even worth my time nor my money. read more

Forgot to come post a review about this place so here I am! I got my first tattoo here almost three years ago now . Danny did three of my tattoos and I have another one by a different artist so I guess you can say I'm highly fond of this place and their work! Danny also took the time to give me exactly what I wanted (which isn't hard when you're a good artist, that's how it's supposed to be!) He helped me a lot with my last tattoo and placement wise because I had no idea what looked best! He's also super friendly so if you go ask for him! If not , everyone in there is super chill ! They play good music& their new place is super cute ... definitely bigger than the last place too! They all pretty much have instagrams so if you go in give them a follow to check out their work! They post a lot of specialty every month for different things . That's actually how I got my second tattoo at a good price! Anyways , drop on by and check it out! read more

Illuminati tattoo shop is hands down one of the coolest and one of a kind tattoo spots I've been to in a long while. @don_coyote_tattoos on Instagram is one of the only tattoo artists I've trust this far to do a majority of my tattoos. Been going to him for years and he never dissapoints on his skill and craft when it comes to inking me up. When it came time to trust someone for a half sleeve that I've been wanting to do I immediately found him at this shop and had to set up an appointment. His attention to detail on all his work made it mandatory for him to be the tattoo artist for the peice. He does amazing black and whites as well as color tattoos. I've also referred friends and family and have never heard a complaint about his work. Hands down one of the best artists I've come to know in this business. I've seen him do amazing portraits as well. That's next on my list of what I'd be honored to have him work on for me. @don_coyote_tattoos check his stuff! Definitely recommend him and will continue to do so. The Illuminati shop is also one of the most nifty themed tattoo shops I've been to. Just check it all out.. you won't be dissapointed! read more

I've been going to Ryan @inkbytrip for over 7 years! He's the BEST artist hands down!! His work is super detailed, unique, clean, and he has a super light hand. He's able to do a wide variety of tattoos, anything from traditional to realism. I seriously won't go to anyone else for my tattoos :) If your looking to get a tattoo or looking for an AMAZING artist definitely hit up @inkbytrip he goes way above and beyond any expectations. I can't rave enough about how amazing he is!! THANK YOU RYAN FOR EVERYTHING! See you soon ;) read more

I love all of these guys, every single tattoo artist here does great work and they are super respectful and dedicated to what you want done. I researched there portfolios a long time ago because I wanted some bad work fixed do your research and walk in with the right intentions and you will get respected in return. Worth every penny, all of my work has been done here and I have mad respect for Rafa and his tattoo family. I promise you will not find another shop better then his and it's your loss if you don't come here. Can't wait to come back for more you guys! read more

I went on Friday the 13th for the $13 dollar special this last summer of 2014. My friend and I got matching tattoos of the puzzle piece (see photos). I expected a three hour wait and rowdy people so that wasn't a surprise. Maybe not even the BEST tattoo, but not something that would fade after a month. Which is exactly what happened. And I don't know how drunk my artist was but the line work is pretty messy. My friend who went right before me, well, hers turned out great. Mine.... not so much. I wasn't too concerned because every tattoo I've gotten comes with a free touch up if necessary. So I come into the shop a few months after getting it and asked about a touch up. I was rudely informed by the people in front that the only way that could happen was if I paid for more work and they could touch it up. Sooo add on another $70 minimum to fix YOUR mess? Dude. This is permanent on my body. Have a little more respect when taking a needle to someone, regardless of how much they paid. read more

Got this small tattoo done by Bryan and I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out. It was so simple to book an appointment and got it done within the week i messaged him. will definitely see him again. read more

Getting my first tattoo was so nerve wrecking because I'm such a picky person and I didn't want to regret getting it. I did my research and came across Bryan's work and was amazed, I messaged him on Instagram and he kindly gave me a date to go into the shop to speak about the tattoo. Went in and he was super friendly and told me he could do my tattoo as soon as he was done, I killed some time ate something and by the time I got back to the shop he was ready to tattoo me. But before that I was indecisive on the size and he was so patient and understanding. But let me just tell you I'm in love with my tattoo! It was honestly exactly what I wanted, just 2 weeks ago I went back with him for my second tattoo which was a bigger piece and like always I was not disappointed! I'll be back soon for sure. read more
