    Done by Griffen.  .

    Done by Griffen. Looks exactly like the example I showed. Great job translating it from color to black n grey. Shading is fantastic. I'm very happy.

    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!

    Crawford is such a good artist! He's done 4 of my tattoos and I will continue to go to him for all the rest. I'm always satisfied with his work and you can see his love for tattooing in his work. High recommend him and a big plus is he's very clean and sanitizes all his areas.

    I came in on Monday and had my tattoo done by Taylor. He did an amazing job and provided awesome service! He was very professional, kind, and a great tattooist. Thank you again Taylor, I love this tattoo and can't wait to take pictures of it all healed up.

    I recently got my first tattoo ever here at Torch Tattoo with Griffen. I am EXTREMELY happy with the work I had done. His communication was timely and professional, but the work was honestly so damn good. Great first timer experience and definitely cannot wait for him to do another piece on me. Thank you.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    My hubby's long awaited tattoo! Love it!
    Nicole K.

    When you get a tattoo, you get someone who is good, like fantabulously good! And Kyle is that good! He did such an excellent job on my husband's tattoo. I can't brag enough about the quality and artistry that Kyle puts into his work because he also works on my son too. Thank you Kyle!! I am so grateful for you!

    Morgan M.

    Phenomenal job by Kyle. He was professional, charismatic, and helpful throughout the whole process. Will definitely be marking this as my spot for tattoos.

    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 took the original design, put his spin on it to make it more tattoo friendly and created a beautiful piece. It turned out even better than I hoped. He was friendly, professional and I can't thank him enough for turning the design into a gorgeous remembrance of my daughter.

    My Freddy tattoo!

    Matt Cannon for the win! Love this place! Recently got my second tattoo by the talented and very awesome Matt. I will for sure get another piece by him in the near future.

    Had an appointment with Justin today and ended up with this awesome tat! Love the way it turned out and how the flowers are!! It was different than I had originally pictured, but I like how unique he made it. He has great ideas and is a very talented and kind artist!! The session went very well and I had a great time, thank you :)

From the very first consultation to the final touch-up, the entire experience was professional, comfortable, and stress‑free. The artist took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered great suggestions, and turned my idea into a design that was even better than I imagined. The linework is clean, precise, and super detailed; the shading is smooth and natural, and the overall composition is perfect. During the session, the artist was gentle, patient, and checked in on me regularly to make sure I was okay. The studio was clean, hygienic, and had a really relaxed atmosphere. I'm absolutely in love with the result. It's beautiful, meaningful, and done with so much skill. I highly recommend this artist to anyone looking for a talented, reliable, and caring tattooist. I will definitely be coming back for my next piece!

Found a few that I liked and went in to get one done. Immediately felt good vibes from the place and was greeted as soon as I entered by MJ. She is the one who did my tattoo and from start to finish it was about 30-45:minutes. It takes alot for me to feel like I get good vibes from someone and I felt like she did a good job. The location was super clean and professional looking. I'm sure this is a respect thing for other artists, but the one I wanted, the artist wasn't there and she woman at the front said artists prefer to not do work from other artists, which I get and it saved me a few hundred from the one I originally wanted. Next time I'm in the area I'm sure I'll come back for something small. Def recommend and thank you MJ!

Everything was very well organized. There was a table outside to do check in whether it was tattoos or piercings. The girls there were great and explained the whole process, despite being packed, they were definitely cool, chill and provided great customer service. My kids were getting piercings and I was getting a small tattoo. Once it was our turn to go in, we made our payment and waited for a few more minutes. For my tattoo GinaVee was my artist that night and she was awesome. Tattoo placement was perfect. As for piercings Travis was their piercer and I have to say that every single staff member were still courteous and gave good vibes overall. Cleanliness overall 10/10 Now as for most recent visit, I had scheduled an appointment with tattoo artist Apolo for mom & daughter tattoo sesh. It was my daughter's first tattoo and he made her feel comfortable and was very professional. She was looking for a specific color to get done and Apolo did give a suggestion in regards the color due to skin color. My daughter took suggestion and Apolo did some color mixing and was able to get a color to her liking. Now it was my turn to get inked and for me, this was not first time obviously but it was my first time getting tattooed by Apolo. Again, he makes you feel comfortable and is professional. I felt he was done in a blink of an eye with both me and my daughter. I mean it was a small tattoo but only because I didn't want my daughter to do something bigger being that it was her first tattoo. I did schedule with Apolo again for February. I will definitely keep ya'll posted then. Let's wait and see what will be done on me Highly recommend this place and definitely recommend Apolo for your tattoos as well as GinaVee. You can find them also on IG as apolo_tattoos , ginavee_inkart , and you will also find anaheimink714 Also don't forget to get your piercings as well here and you can find Travis on IG as crabbytravipiercings :) Ps If you're always cold like me make sure you take a blanket lol because they blast the AC full on lol

I've gotten three rather large pieces, the first being a cover-up that is still in progress of a Xenomorph on my forearm. Dave took his time and was very sympathetic to working with the difficult task of covering up a very bad, old tattoo. The latest piece of Sam from Trick'r'Treat still needs another session that I already have booked (thanks to Dave's extremely easy booking process) and I couldn't be more excited for the detail that he's going to still add. The shop itself is a horror fan's dream, with so much memorabilia to look at while you're sitting for 8 hours. There is also a TV with streaming services available if you need a little distraction from feeding your ink addiction. All the equipment is opened in front of you and the environment is constantly cleaned so no need to worry about any mishaps. The bathrooms, ladies, the bathrooms... It's such a relief to use clean facilities in a male dominated industry and these restrooms are honestly cleaner and more pleasant to use than the one's up the street at a certain theme park. If you're looking for a clean shop with amazing artists that specialize in a variety of styles, Dark Heritage Tattoo is THE place to go!
