Definitely plays the best animes or shows on while your session... Okay, soooooo long story short I was 15 got a under the table tattoo from a friends uncle which I chose doves and seven had to be my favorite #, so I got 7 dark doves on my back. Fast forward I'm 18 now met new people and they wanted to help me cover the doves... cool artist. Started a session... and then I moved to SAN DIEGO. Soooooo now I got a random unfinished cover up.... Finally met jar which I got my little flowers on my right shoulder with my first time meeting him... I had to ask about fixing my cover up... now here we are today. Cover ups are hard, and this was a 2nd cover up but he was able to free style it all. He made me feel comfortable and I definitely trust him. He's booked out crazy, but he tries to keep everyone happy. Hope this helps you! Also if you aren't looking for his type of style there's a few other people who can help you that works at the shop to!!! They are opened to helping you in anyway. I gotta say the best tattoo shop I've been to in San Diego!

Joe Caram (@jcaramtattoo) was the perfect artist for my full-color Kirin and chrysanthemum sleeve…read more He designed a piece that combined big, bold, and readable Japanese imagery with modern elements, and intricate details. Joe made the entire tattoo experience enjoyable. His knowledge and expertise in the industry is positively reflected in the quality of my tattoo, and makes him an artist I will always return to and recommend (shop: @emakitattoo).

Honestly the people working here are the sweetest. It's super clean inside and really cute vibes…read more Dark green walls, tons of art to catch your eye and inspire you. Brook helped me out and she was so lovely super kind and went above and beyond! She dressed me up with awesome second skin so my art would stay protected! 10/10 top quality shop! Plus they are next to some really good spots to eat if you tend to get hungry while you are getting art worked on. You can't go wrong here they have many artists who seem to all have their speciality so if you are thinking of getting some amazing art done you should walk in and chat with them. You won't be disappointed!

I love Holly, she's very sweet and such a talented artist!…read moreShe listens your story and designs exactly what I want. I have been to her 3 times already!

I get so many compliments and they ask about her info, DM her in IG @hollee.ink

went on saturday to get a coverup as well as my husband getting a tattoo. talked with Trent Riley…read morehe told us to come back at 9:15pm which we did. He took his time even ran down the street to 7eleven for alcohol, didnt start my husbands tattoo until after midnight. It turned out well a simple tattoo, then mine came. I sent an image of a lily, which we discussed darkening the center with shading to hide the word we were covering. Put the stencil on then he left to smoke in the bathroom before beginning, said he always does before work, and my husbands tattoo coming out well i didnt think it would an issue, no judgement. Till it came to end of my session he said he wanted to add white ink, so i went to look in the mirror (tattoo is on my a**) and was in shock at what i was looking at. I mean you could'nt even tell what it was just dark black ink. We asked questions he said to come back for a touchup and white ink, we asked if he could clean off the remaining ink on my skin he said use the soap in the bathroom then handed my husband the second skin to put on me. At this point is was past 3am so we paid thinking it would be okay. Ive never encountered such a rude artist who couldn't handle admitting they messed up. On top of this the owner who i called to speak with on everything was rude and unhelpful saying he couldn't do anything, specifically saying "what do you want me to do" needless to say dont go here unless you want to pay hundreds to get ink fixed! Also side note to think about there was a cockroach in the bathroom and Trent was touching a chip bag, eating with gloves on then touching all his surfaces where he tattooed us.

He was so helpful & really helped everything we envisioned in our tattoos to come to life. He explained the process so well and made it super easy for us to feel comfortable, even though we were all a little nervous. The place was very sanitary and clean, as well as having an overall amazing ambience. There's even a section up front where you can buy handmade rings, bracelets, and other crystal items. Im so pleased with my tattoo, and so are my friends. I would definitely recommend coming here & I definitely will come back if I ever decide to get another tattoo!! Thank you Q for everything!!

This is a long awaited review but the work deserves to be recognized…read more I got my piece done by @eightgawd. Communication was quick and easy and I was seen within two weeks. Told him my story, where I wanted the tattoo, and basically just told him to do whatever lol. But he even asked me to show him pictures of what style I was into and what I liked about it and did everything according to my liking. The piece turned out dooooope and I get compliments on it all the time. The process wasn't bad, he was easy to talk to and friendly. And talented! Highly recommend him. Oh, and the shop was located in a hella sus area and he offered to walk to to my car lol. Great customer service!!

To me, they've become a beautiful reminder of her and her spirit. I knew I wanted a dragonfly tattoo, but I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted. Nikki creates and draws her own designs instead of just copying something from the internet, and she came up with the most beautiful dragonfly for me. It made the tattoo feel even more personal and special, and I absolutely love how it turned out. It was such a pleasure meeting Nikki. She's so sweet, friendly, and easy to talk to. She made me feel completely comfortable . Her tattoo room is also super clean and SO freaking cute! She has all these adorable little accessories and decorations everywhere that give it so much personality. I'm so happy I trusted Nikki with something that means so much to me. I will definitely continue going back to her. She's talented, creative, and amazing at what she does. Highly recommend her!

I heard of the Hideaway from a colleague who had amazing color work done and recommended the shop…read more I'm sure any artist could have done the Traumatic Brain Injury awareness Ribbon I received, but I was scoping a new tattoo shop for future reference, and wanted the right place and artist to tattoo me for such a meaningful piece. I saw Melvin's work, and I immediately scheduled an appointment. Her character, energy and desire to nourish a welcoming and warm tattoo shop is admirable. The shop itself may be the best shop I've been to, as it's a renovated old house, which made the experience and conversation while getting tattooed feel "homey". Also, the parking is great, and the location makes the experience feel like you're going to a friends to hang, and get work done. I highly recommend the shop, the vibe, the artists (the other artists in the shop who weren't working with me, still gave off as welcoming and great energy as Melvin to me). If you're looking for beautiful, vibrant color, and maybe a conversation that could lead to the beyond, book with Melvin!
