    This was the lock and key for my kids. Can you find the cover up? I can't see it.

    This place is amazing! Garrett is the one that does my work. He did an amazing job on both my pieces. I also had him do a coverup for me and you can't tell there was even one there to cover. All of the artists are amazing and very supportive of each other's work. I will definitely go back there. Thank you True Grit and Garrett for such a great experience!!

    Today, I got my First Tattoos. I searched and viewed several profiles around Bakersfield. I found Cory at True Grit. I set up an appointment for a consultation and set up the date and time to get my work done. Cory is very professional and is very knowledgeable in his work he is very professional and has great customer service. Let me tell you, he did very stellar outstanding work. I highly suggest this shop 100% it is very clean and very sanitary. They are very busy and it's hard just to walk in it is best that you make an appointment. I highly recommend and suggest this shop you will not be disappointed.

    I just want to say Thank you again for my beautiful new tattoos done by Roach!! Professional artist…read morewho listened and taking the time to explain the process. Highly recommend this shop.

    Went to an art showing at Top Hat Collective and had an incredible experience! Even if you don't…read morehave tattoos, it's cool to see the kind of art collective experience they are cultivating. They regularly post tattoo events and upcoming exhibits on their instagram. If you are a local artist, be sure to keep an eye out for showcases that you might be able to present your work in! They have different themes each time. My husband and I decided to purchase this awesome piece of art from a local artist himself, Adam Wentworth. We saw this piece from a previous art show "Words to Wonder" during the Star Wars "May the 4th Be With You" showing and totally loved it. The artist himself was there and we got to watch him live paint a Star Wars themed painting. The collection of art is from different artists and most are able to be purchased if interested. If you are into unique pieces of art, definitely check out one of the shows! As for the tattoos, I personally have not gotten one from them but from looking at the work as well as interacting with staff, the artists are skilled and professional. From what I understand, they no longer do piercings however you can get piercings a couple doors down. Definitely check this place out! :)

    I got a tattoo here recently and I could not be more pleased with outcome!…read more The whole process from my initial contact with the shop to the aftercare instruction was very smooth and professional. I contacted Oz through Instagram and he scheduled a time for me to come in for a consultation just a couple days later. The consultation was quick, but didn't feel rushed. Oz was a great listener and finished his design after I had left. When I showed up on the day of my appointment, I was thrilled to see what he had come up with! I wasn't happy with the initial placement (my own fault), but Oz was patient with me as I battled my own pros and cons list of each place that I might move the piece to. Oz was quick and precise. He is definitely not heavy handed, but he got the color to stick with what appeared to be no effort! Very impressed with his talent and techniques. And his lines are **crisp** At the end of the process, Oz gave me two options for how I wanted to heal my tattoo. When I told him I preferred the old fashioned way, he gave me all the products I would need for the aftercare! My tattoo healed up beautifully The shop itself was clean and well maintained. They had music playing and tv's on, but it was still calm and quiet. Definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking to get some beautiful work done!

    This was my first time coming in to Fineline tattoo shop and I was pleasantly impressed by not only…read morethe cleanliness and professionalism of all artists on site, but also by our apprentice who did our tattoo - Shoutout to Ashell!! She was super kind and chatty. And very into our fandoms. She has a light and steady hand. Prices are reasonable too. I think I've found my new shop and artist!
