Gus is AMAZING!! Came to sit with a friend for her tat and decided to pop that tat cherry! I didn't have an appointment with him but he heard it would be my first and made some time for me. He was so gentle and explained everything he was doing along the way and so kind! The whole vibe of the shop is welcoming. The only sad part will be my bank account now because I'm hooked! read more

Wanted a small tattoo so I sent out a message on Yelp. These guys were quick to respond and connect me directly with an artist. Taylor was great! Communicated well and super chill once I got in the shop. Grateful for his work and his demeanor. Vibe of the shop was great and Taylor was cool to talk with while getting my tat done. Would recommend this spot. read more

I made an appointment request through their website. I was then connected with the artist Taylor. He is a super cool dude, chill, and has super good line work. He was able to take my girlfriend and I on the day we wanted to get our tattoos. I got coordinates of my childhood home tatted on my thigh. Taylor did a really great job and made sure my placement was at a perfect spot and didn't look weird when I move my leg. He made sure it was proportioned and even got a second opinion from another artist to made sure it was okay. My girlfriend got a sunflower. We sent him an image of what she wanted so he sketched one out for her and it was better than what we sent. He also made sure the placement was okay for her and made her check or make any adjustment. It took about 2 hours to finish both tattoos. Taylor was fast and the work came out fantastic. Thanks again Taylor you were awesome! read more

This shop is full of incredible artists and all-around nice guys. I've been tattooed by both Justin and Gus dating back to 2012, and most recently last month. I've confidently referred friends and family here, too. You can always count on them for a clean, quality shop with impressive artistry and technique (and great playlists to make the time go by). Thank you Justin for always taking the time to check in and for remembering my past visits, it really makes me feel welcome. Thank you Gus for your design and artistic talent! You know I've even got a few of your prints framed in our Anaheim Ducks corner at home (Go Ducks!). Overall, I would strongly recommended visiting this shop if you're interested in high quality tattooing in Orange County! read more

Much overdue review from December. My best friend and I had decided to get matching tattoos before she left for Japan for the next 3 yrs. As she was busy planning for the move, I was in charge of searching for a shop that was nearby to where we each lived and that's how I found Torch Tattoo on Yelp. I had also found the shop's Instagram account and after checking out each artist's work and all of the great reviews, I was sold. Contacting the shop was so easy. I sent a message via Yelp and was immediately contacted by Justin whom connected me with Taylor Crawford. Taylor Crawford was great. Communicating with him to discuss pricing, availability and design was such a breeze. I knew we'd found the right artist. He was quick to address any questions/concerns we had. As many know, no two tattoo shops are the same. But let me say, Torch has such a good vibe, we immediately felt welcomed. Our session went really well, Taylor is such cool guy; easy to talk to in addition to being a great artist. He definitely made our experience amazing. Thank you, once again! We loved our matching tattoos, they were perfect, I will most definitely be back. I highly recommend Torch to anyone looking for high quality tattoos, a good shop atmosphere and an overall great experience with very cool tattoo artists. read more

Walked in and was nicely greeted by our artist, Taylor. I've been to a few tattoo shops in my day and being greeted is a rarity. I watched and gladly waited while Taylor thoroughly cleaned his station. My daughter and Taylor discussed the photocopied tattoo she wanted. He pointed out a couple things that we hadn't thought of which was helpful. The tattoo came out great and the pain level was a 5/10 according to my daughter. We were very pleased with the overall experience. Thank you Taylor! read more

I contacted Gus about tattooing a design I'd had made in memory of my daughter who I lost in May. I wanted to get the tattoo on her birthday and Gus made it happen.

He was friendly, professional and I can't thank him enough for turning the design into a gorgeous remembrance of my daughter. read more

Torch Tattoo - By Justin - Tattoo Near Me - Anaheim, California

Justin Warn and his crew are talented and friendly. I had my appointment with Justin the owner. I went in for a compass tattoo and a consultation on another tattoo that was poorly done. He sat down with me to pick my brain at what i was looking for in the compass tattoo. He told me to go get some food so he could draw it up. An hour later, he was very professional and wanted more time on the drawing and he really wanted to give me what i wanted and not rush the drawing. I was so thankful for that. Finally an artist that wants to make something original and to give what the client wants. He then turned his focus to the horribly done tattoo. I was embarrassed to show him at first, but Justin was very positive about how it looked and that he could work with it. He did magic on the horrible tattoo that you can't even tell it was there. Justin is a very talented artist. He takes his time, adds so much detail and is very talented. Did i mention that already? I will be going to him to finish up my half sleeve for sure. read more

I've had a few pieces done by Kyle Crowell, years ago and I still get compliments from people asking If they were new, and when I tell them I got them about 3 years ago, people are blown away because of the quality of his work, His Line work and shading were executed like a surgeon, 4 years later the outlines haven't started to spread and fade like a few other pieces I had got done in San Francisco less than a year ago, Also Kyle somehow used some sort of Voodoo to Get the color looking almost as bright and vibrant as the day he originally administered it, years ago, I'm at a point now, where I'm ready to have Kyle fill some pretty big spaces, that will probably cost a small fortune, lots of Chair time and multiple sessions, But I'm ready to fully commit to getting both arms and full back done by a professional like Kyle who I can fully trust to do quality, beautiful pieces, and has the knowledge to tie all of my random, different styled, pieces that don't have any real reason for there placement except I just wanted to have tattoos when I was young and didn't care what or where I put them, and now that I'm older I want big areas Of empty space to be filled with tattoos that are all in the same vein, And style. That all come together into something that fits and comes all together into something that looks amazing, unlike my random arm, that has A piece here another piece over there, something totally different than the other 2 right next to piece #1, even I think , why do I have a Sugar skull placed right next to a cheeseburger that's placed by a Jessica Rabbit piece with a bunch of random Friday the 13th pieces that have nothing to do with each other? If Kyle is willing to take on some big, detailed, time consuming, thoughtfully planned out works, I'm ready and praying He might be excited and willing to take on something that's gonna take lots of time around His old buddy Justin Taylor from way back in the day. If interested in starting a large project, Let me know, when we start Look forward to hearing your response Thanks again Justin Taylor read more

I contacted Gus about a year ago after finding his work on Instagram I love his traditional style and had a commissioned painting done for my husband as a 10 year wedding anniversary gift Last week we finally made it in to get the art tattooed Gus did a great job tailoring the painting into a tattoo and he did an amazing job on both mine and my husband's Thanks again Gus! read more

I have been following Gus on instagram for a while and really fell in love with his work. By chance I found myself in town and with time to get tattooed. He was quick to reply via email and I was able to easily set up an appointment. I had such a fun afternoon getting tattooed by him. He was friendly and professional, and the shop was super clean. What a doll. I could not have asked for a better experience and I wish I didn't live across the country so I could make this my regular spot. Can't wait to come back again some time!! read more

So, being a cancer patient, I have to be extremely careful about the environments I expose myself to. To celebrate my 5th cancerversary and survivorship, family from my Relay for Life team decided to get commemorating tattoos right after the event. Torch Tattoo is incredibly clean. The front waiting area, the bathroom, and the artists stations were all neatly organized and every tool that was used during the session was packaged and clearly sanitized. Justin (our amazing artist) was made well aware of my special needs and he had no problems accommodating requests. I didn't realize until after our session that he had booked us on Sunday, his day off. This was a really nice thing to do because it isless exposure for me. He even helped us come up with the simple design of a cancer ribbon incorporated into the word 'love' that was provided in my handwriting. No judgment on his part regarding our lack of creativity ;) LOL. He was incredibly patient with the nervous members of the group, and he was more than supportive of the spirit we came in. He was well aware that my tattoo was being paid for by my wonderful, amazing, beautiful and single aunt. Since I wasn't paying for it anyway, there was no reason to do what he did. He refused payment for my tattoo. Look, the guy has a shop to run, employees to play and bills just like we all do. I would absolutely never ask an artist for a $$$ break- they have it tough enough in that career field. That was an incredibly touching moment. He was totally supporting the fighting spirit that we had come into the shop with. He should have stopped there, really- but no. He donated his tip towards fighting brain cancer! This guy deserves a humanitarian award, really. I know you want info on the actual tattoo, and yes, I do realize it's a review of a tattoo shop and not of amazing folks, but I couldn't help it. But seriously, his talent matches his heart. The design was simple, but nonetheless, he perfected what we could only imagine. Everyone of us was extremely happy with the outcome. Apparently I chose a pretty painful part of my body to tattoo, my palm. But Justin prepared me and talked me through it. He offered me a couple of choices with the coloring of the heart, but helped me pick the right color. I love it. The tattoo, the meaning, and the experience are all dear to me. I cannot thank him enough for being a part of these memories I was able to create with my family. Support Torch Tattoos. Simply put, their work rocks as much as the values they practice. And don't be tight with your tips. These guys give back where it counts ;) read more

KYLE CROWEL is the artist that has done all of the ink that I have had done. From my limited experience I would say he's a traditional tattoo artist. His colour work is brilliant & I received several compliments with regards to his work. In Jerome, AZ a young woman stopped me asking for a reference, saying her tattooist is one of the best but she thought Kyle might be better. I think he is. & Prices are fair too... read more

I had been wanting to get a tattoo for a while but hadn't found the right place or artist to do it until I found Torch. I reached out to Taylor through the shops website and he got back to me the next day, setting the appointment up was really easy! When I went in for the tattoo, Taylor greeted me and went over all the info and he showed me the final draft of my design, which looked awesome! The shop and his station were really clean and getting the tattoo didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to. My tattoo looks really awesome and I'd recommend Taylor if you're looking for a tattoo! read more

Kyle Crowell tattooed me. I found him on Instagram. His work is impeccable. I emailed him and he responded within a day. I told him my ideas and gave him artistic freedom. I couldn't be happier! So stoked on my newest tattoo.!! He smells nice and is really down to earth and made me laugh and feel really comfortable. All the guys at Torch Tattoo are cool and fun to be around. I spent 4hrs there and they taught me all about Hockey and sticks and beards and stuff. It was a really great time. I can't wait to get more work done from Kyle in the future. read more

Finally decided to get my first tattoo and looked on Yelp for a local place. The reviews were amazing so I gave them a call. They were able to schedule me about an hour and a half later. I was really glad because even though it was an easy one for them, I was a bit nervous, and wanted to get started. Walked in and agreed with all the other reviews on how clean it is. I was greeted right away and Gus told me he could help me out. Once he got started, he checked in with me frequently to see how I was doing. I had my husband with me and we talked about all the local places we both go to. Gus was very clear on what to do until my tattoo was healed. I saw samples of the work they do and I still felt as though I was just as important as someone who was getting a more detailed tattoo. He was so friendly and easy going. The whole thing was over before I knew it with no pain. I could not be happier. read more

I tried to book an appointment for my first tattoo with Justin, I was really excited to come here for my first tattoo because of all the reviews and photos I've seen. I contacted them and Jacqui responded to me letting me know she would keep me updated with any openings, she then told me Justin was booked but she could book me with any of the other artists, then told me they were all booked but she had passed my info to Matt. At this point I told her to put me anywhere with anyone who was available I wasn't picky with the date or time. I never heard a response after that, I contacted her again letting her know Matt never reached out to me and she simply stated she could book me with someone else, I was kind of frustrated and didn't even bother to contact her again. I sent all the info requested and simply just needed to book a day and time. Needless to say I got my tattoo SOMEWHERE ELSE :) read more
