High Class Tattoo

Both of my daughters got piercings today by Matt. He’s the best!! He made the whole experience very comfortable for all of us. They both absolutely love their new piercings. We will definitely be back!

Its very clear that Audie cares tremendously about his clients and the quality he provides them.If youre just wanting a quick, cheap tattoo, this isnt the place for you. If youre serious about getting good work done by someone whos going to devote the time to provide you with exactly the type of tattoo you want, this is your shop.Pros:- Great work - realism and color realism are strong in this one!- Understanding and patient- Clean environment- Good communication- Extremely attentive and service-focused (not like the typical shop you walk into where they act like youre bothering them)- Well organized- Entire staff is very personable- Great overall value, well worth the wait and moneyPotential Cons:- Follow-up could be a little stronger- Appointments are months out (I feel like this is a positive. It shows that they take their clientele seriously enough to organize their time and dedicate their full attention to each)This shop will not be for everyone. If you want something cheap, you dont care how much experience they have, the quality, or want things done your way and your way only, this would not be a good place for you.Audie will provide you with a high-quality piece of art that hes worked at fine-tuning for over 20 years. He will take your ideas and bring them to life, but wont be scared to tell you when things will not work. The price he charges is based on the value he provides. Its well worth every penny if you truly want to get something youll feel proud of to put on your skin.

The guy that did my septum piercing was a very kind patient and understanding, he answered all of my questions and told me everything I need to know. 10/10 would recommend!!

Would not recommend here to get piercings. My piercing came out crooked and asked mutuals about their experiences with the piercer Matt. Most women said he was weird. Especially on instagram. Told my girlfriend after I got it done and said none of her mutuals had good experiences with him. The tattoo guys are cool tho.

Went here to get a few helixes and a septum for my 18th. Was genuinely the best piercing experiences Ive had. Matt is very kind, gentle, and friendly. He made sure I was comfortable before doing anything. He kept me from making myself too nervous and was totally chill the whole time. It was clean and professional but not super stiff like a hospital or something. There was a little wait but the guys out front were super chill about it and didnt wanna waste our time (but the wait was totally worth it). Ive bounced from a couple different piercers and was a little scared about placement but Matt got it spot on. My best friend was there watching and said it was a super smooth, gentle looking process. Afterwards there was little to no pain which was unexpected. It wasnt even warm and the redness went down fast. The jewelry is inexpensive and they have a great, expansive selection for starter jewelry. I would highly highly recommend this place. Im definitely going here again.

F these guys dont call back act like u need them And there the only shop in town..

I got my nostril pierced here a couple months ago and it was genuinely such a great experience. Matt explained everything throughout and everything was clean and the environment was very relaxed. He answered all my questions very clearly as well. I got a piercing bump on my nose and he helped me get rid of that also. I love my piercing so much and he did a wonderful job!

Matt is awesome!! I’ve gotten 4 piercings done by him already and each one has been perfect. He’s super thorough and explains everything throughout the process. He made sure I was relaxed before doing anything and is super friendly. He’ll definitely be my go-to guy for my future piercings!

Went here to get pierced due to reviews I read and I was not disappointed! Matt is very patient and great explaining everything he’s doing. You can tell he’s experienced. He pierced my ear in 4 different spots and he’s very accurate about the placing of the piercing and helpful with aftercare instructions. I’ve referred him to friends and will continue to refer him. Thanks, Matt!

Matt is INCREDIBLE and likely the most accurate and professional piercer I’ve ever had. Everything was explained, down to the sterilization, piercing, placement, and jewelry. He was extremely patient with fixing a septum piercing gone wrong. Super calm and kind, I highly recommend him for piercings!

Good quality tattoos from Audie and good piercing. All good quality, don’t expect knock end stuff, want to make sure you don’t get infections from piercings? This is the place, and Audie is hands down the best in the Central Valley. Highly recommend. Been coming for 2 years and I will not go anywhere else.

I went Sunday with a few of my friends to get pierced. Loved this place! Everyone was friendly and professional. Tiny Tim is a very nice guy. He could tell I was really nervous and he talked me through it so I could calm down. And after he was very specific with me on how to care for my piercings.My other friends also said he was just as nice to them. One thing to remember: They do not take credit cards. Its better to have cash.Will definitely come back to this place!

Matt is my piercer and you can always expect a welcoming attitude and a profesional atmosphere from him. Everything in the shop is super clean which is a comfort unlike any other. Ive had work done by Peter and his black and grey skills are stellar. Im about to get work done by Audi in a week and im super stoked for that since his work is outrageously epic! Definitely recommend to any one who wants exquisite work and bod mod.

Went here a few months back to get my nipples repierced. Besides the lack of jewelry to use, he pierced one crooked. In addition, I swear he was getting off on torturing me, as he took forEVER to do it. As I said, they had been pierced before, sp I know what Im talking about.

My daughter got her nose pierced here. Matt is beyond professional and I would recommend him to everyone. He explained everything for her after care. He kept her calm during the piercing and was extremely polite. If you need any piercings in fresno or surrounding areas, he is the man to see.

I got a quote from Will for 2 hours of work @ $200. Waited two months (even though they do walk ins...) and i was out in 23 minutes. The tattoo was good, simple lines. I told him the hours and the pay don’t match the quote. He smiled and said “Same price.” Rude environment the whole time, will definitely not go back.

Ive always had good experiences going into this shop. The guys are very nice, professional, and they know what theyre doing. Ive been tattooed by Audie and Reno and they are both amazing artists! They are the only tattoo artists in Fresno that my husband and I trust to tattoo us and I recommend them to everyone!

Been going to Devan for years and audies work is seriously insane! Awards line the walls to show just how good these guys are. The shop is ALWAYS clean and the guys are always as friendly as can be. I would 100% recommend this place for a first time tattoo as well.

Got four piercings from them back in September. They did an awesome job but, the screw on the lip piercing was not screwed in before I left. Little to say the lip piercing jewelry came out and I had to go back in later in the week. The guy that pierced my lip was not in until later that week, and I wanted my lip piercing back in because I wasnt my fault it came out. When I got to this place the bearded man gave me the biggest attitude, checking if I lied about the jewelry coming out by fault to his employees, and Im no liar, so if you get work done from these guys bring someone else, or check behind there work! I could tell if a screw at the end of a piercing was place in or not, no need to lie. Ill think twice before I return.

I GAVE MY INITIAL 1 STAR REVIEW 6 YEARS AGO (BELOW):I took my boyfriend there last Saturday for his first tatoo which was a small silhouette of a skateboard on the back of his right calf....after the hour was up to take the wrapping off there was bloodeverywhere! Super heavy hand. Smh. Plus, the fact that EVERYONE FAILED TO MENTION CASH ONLY after we were already done. I found that unprofessional but fortunately my boyfriend had $47 in cash and paypald the rest of the $3. Btw, PETER did the tattoo. Also, we didnt experience much of a friendly environment.ID LIKE TO GIVE 5 STARS FOR MY CURRENT REVIEW BUT SETTLED IN BETWEEN AT 3 BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.This is a late review but nonetheless, Audi is fantastic!!! Audi has done both mine & my husbands tattoos. He is amazing with color!! Hes a super nice guy & conversationalist! I received a huge skull on the left side of my torso. When I initially brought up the idea I had so many little different things that I wanted to incorporate but after discussing it with Audi he really put into perspective on the different aspects of the tattoo that makes SENSE in general & given the space. You can tell he really cares, loves & takes pride in what he does & Im so happy with my tattoo! I receive compliments on his great work anytime someone else sees it & Im so glad he really took the time to put things into perspective for me. He was right & Im very happy!! I would only go back to Audi! I did move out of town but Id go back just to have him tattoo me again because hes worth it!!

Went in to get my septum re pierced. He was very nice to talk to and was able to re open the piercing. Was very honest about what he was going and didnt charge me the whole price because he was able to make it work without fully piercing it. Very professional and very clean.

I walked in for a quick simple, easy tattoo. The guy that tattooed me rushed me in and out. My tattoo was simple Roman numerals and the lines are uneven, not straight and when I went back for them to fix it they said they couldnt fix it because it was already scabbed over, which I understand. But they didnt seem to care at all that I was unhappy with their services. He also didnt give me care instructions before he let me leave. I had to turn around and walk back in to inquire hoe to properly take care of my tattoo. I would never recommend this tattoo shop and will NEVER return.

3-7-2015, I took my daughter to high class Tattoo for ear piercing. My experience was truly less THAN high class service. Upon entering this facility, I was greeted with a strong odor of musky wet towels and pine-sol, along with shops groupies, laying around on the sofa. When I was asked what I needed, I explained to the apprentice I was here to get ear piercings for my daughter he then said fill out this form and he walked away to help another family that came in before me. My daughter and I sat down on the bench to fill out this form.So finally I take this form to this guy and I asked him, straight up and clearly HOW MUCH IS IT FOR HER EAR PIERCINGS, HE SAID $30.00. The piercer guy came up to the front to get us both As we pass the groupies laying around this sterile environment, I asked him, do you take debit/credit cards? He said NO, its broken but after we are done, there is a ATM down the way, you can come back to pay me. We are in his cubical, about to do the piercing, he asked us, what kind of tip do you want, a steel ball or gemstone We didnt know what he was referring to. I did ask him does it matter, how long will she be keeping these in? He said 2-3 weeks. I told him, I dont care, my daughter said she didnt care, BECAUSE THESE EARRINGS ARE TEMPORARY!!At that point, the respectful thing to do as a BUSINESS MAN he should have said, these are $10.00 more per ear lobe. He said NOTHING. Upon being done, we left without any incident to get cash from the ATM. I only took out the necessary cash to pay. I send in my 16 year old daughter to pay. She comes back to the car shocked. She said mom we have a problem. The man inside said it was $80.00. I told her to get into the car, I would handle this. When I enter this establishment, again this apprentice, explained that its $30.00 an ear and you upgraded the balls to the earrings so that was a additional fee. I was floored! He looked at me with this ignorant look in his face. That furthered angered me. Then he began to explain to me that he was explaining the costs to the customer before me and I should have been listening. I was shocked that he had the ignorance to say something like that. I asked to be speak to the piercer, so I waited. I asked him to explain how we go from $30.00 to $80.00. This is what he came back with, Its not my job to explain the cost to you, its my apprentices job to explain the costs. I knew at that point that this artist lacked the knowledge of what a business man was.I cannot pay the price for the lack of training to his assistant/staff, maybe have his apprentice pay the difference since he failed to explain the charges to me.So I walked out, as I only took out $40.00 from the ATM machine and he told me, What the hell? Are you going to pay me? And this apprentice ran out behind me and told me I am taking photos of your license plate... I paid this man $80.00 and this what I paid for. I paid the $80.00 so I can post this review and all the other reviews that I can post, so everyone can see that this shop isnt high class and after visiting the Department of Health of the County of Fresno, Health Inspection, you can see High Class Tattoo TWO violations!!!!So to you both, dont go around treating people this way. Karma doesnt feel good. !

Devan did a hell of a good job, very friendly, had everything done when i walked through the door at 11:40 when my appointment was at 12. Very professional and will be returning 😌

Me and my husband went in late and wanted matching tattoos, what we wanted done was either a werewolf or a Griffin. They found us an awesome werewolf and got us in even though it was close to closing time. Cody and Nick was are artists and even till midnight they stayed and worked on our tattoos ....need I say more lol this place is awesome the staff and artists are very helpful and went way out of there way. Thank you guys and the tattoos look spectacular! If there was more stars I would give them !

I recently went and had my cartilage pierced, I went in at about 1:30 pm and there was 4 people working. I told them what I wanted they handed me a clip board, ( I knew what I had to do ) but they didnt say anything besides fill this out. Then asked for my ID and as I went to the back with the piercer he asked me about my latex allergy which was nice. Then as hes telling me the prices of the jewlery I got a bit confused but the friend with me had just had hers done so I knew what I wanted. He did a good job on the piercing it self but was vague and dry about after care and didnt give a slip of paper or anything just kind ok do this or this dont do this ok by. But Id go if the other guy was there.

Piercer Tiny Tim was very professional when Icalled to discuss getting an additional piercing. Iexplained that it would probably be difficult this time around but he reassured me that he was exerienced and would take a look. When I arrived Tim took the time to answer all of my questions and when the time came to actually do the piercing he walked me through the steps we would take. It was quick and realatively painlessw. He explained the follow up care very thoroughly and made sure I understood that he stood by his work and if Ihad ANY problems or concerns then he would he more than happy to help.The actual shop was very clean, the instruments were sterile, and I was I was impressed with the amount of knowledge that the piercer and a tattoo artist Audie showed.I told both that I was looking to get some ink done in the near future and Audie also took the time to discuss my piece and gave some great tips.Overall my experience was a great one and I would definitely reccomend this shop.

I was so nervous and not sure how to explain what I wanted in my first ever tattoo but when I came to High class Tattoo n met Devan Piccolo, i became more sure and confident. Devan is very precise and has lotsaa patience ..... he kept redoing the stencil until he made me happy..... I am going back very satisfied and would highly recommend Devan to everyone...... he also took lot of care for the hygiene and safety ....... 👍🏻👍🏻

My boyfriend and I went in to get a tattoo, he had something printed out and I was unsure-well I didnt care, I like artists choice kind of things. Anyway, they put him in a booth right away, I sat and waited and waited. When he was finished he wondered why I hadnt gotten anything, so we sat with the guys and they were so rude. I was even willing to just get a cover up of some of my homemade tats, we had cash in hand and they acted like they could care less.I left with nothing.

I have been coming to this shop day one and have never had a bad experience ever. The tattoo quality is amazing and the artists are just as great. All artists know their trades and are knowledgable. I will not go anywhere but High Class for my tattoo or piercing needs.

Matthew Vargas was the young man doing the piercing, and this rating is just for his job on my daughters industrial and tragus piercings. He was very open about the costs for different types of jewelry for the ear, and performed the piercings with medical like precision. I have already recommended him to other residents of Oakhurst, where we no longer have piercings available. I would definitely return, or follow Matthew to any other location if I needed additionally piercings.

Just finished 4 hours with Reno at High Class. He did 2 cover ups, one on each arm. He has a very light touch, so you barely know you are being tattooed (of course your experience may be different). His work was perfect. I am already looking forward to 2 more tats from Reno. Just waiting on these to heal (so far healing great), and figure out the new art work (have to get the wifes approval haha). His price was very reasonable.

I knew Audie since before he started his own shop. And boy does he have talent...He deserves the best. he is a good guy and well respected and is getting known every where in the maps ...You should make a spot here in San Diego Brother in Law.

Went in to take my daughter to get her septum piercing as a walk in..got help right away..they were really professional explaining the whole process pre and post piercing..made me comfortable letting them do my daughters piercing..she was really happy with her pierce

Audie is amazing! Ive got tattoos 10 years old from him and they still look new. Thank you Audie. Keep up the good work.

Matt was recommended to by Juan. Jaun is the only peircer I trust in Fresno. I needed some new jewelry. Jaun only had 1 of 2 pieces and referred Matt. What a pleasure. Professional, sanitary and what a calm positive Man he is. Definitely has my trust and respect. Will be a repeat offender!

Audie is an amazing tattoo artist that always gives you the best work, all of the staff is very friendly. If you want a tattoo you should go to high class!

This place was excellent! Matt did my ear piercing and he was so professional. He answered all of my questions and kept me so calm through the whole experience. He is so good at what he does!

Matt Did a great job on my nipple piercings and was extremely professional would definitely recommend to anyone contemplating getting work done.

Got my first facial piercing today (snake bites) and they look awesome. Matt made me feel comfortable and he did a great job on my piercing.

Audie gave me an excellent realism tattoo of Christopher Lee as Count Dracula. Pretty damn awesome 😃🤘😆😝😌

I really have a good experience here... definitely coming back for more... i did 2 tattoos and my husband 1 and i really like it.. Thomas is really a profesional

Will Hondo did an awesome job on my arm. I love bold color and disney. He made it happen. Ive had 2 sessions already and booked another.

I had a really big arm piece done here three years ago, for $250 and at the time it was a cool experience, my artist, RENO was very friendly and had me entertained most of the four hour process, he even took and gave me a few smoke breaks, plus my work was really nice :) ..over the last few years I have taken in several ppl and recommended several others who actually got work done,and they all seem to recognize me and even got a dermal there, but I was really disappointed when I went in just recently and asked for the same artist, RENO, to put a rose the size of my palm right above the original tattoo he had done, because of course I wanted the same artist, and he was asking for $300 for a single rose on my shoulder, I was totally bummed and still have yet to get that rose :( plus he acted like he never met me in my life and I got no love. Still bummed.

Love love my tattoo😍😍😍🤗 .. Came in and gave my guy Thomas my idea of what I wanted and he was so informative and went out of his way to help me in my decision. My experience was very welcoming and fun..The guys there are awesome.. Thank you!

Audie crushes it. He did Walt Disneyland sleeve for me. Then last night he fixed a flag and cross tattoo that i had done years ago. I never thought it could look real, but it does. Id put him up against anyone. Ill never sit in another artists chair agian. Thanks bro!

I called them the day before I went in for a piercing and on the phone they told me that they took walk-ins for piercings before 7:00 p.m.. so I went in today to get piercings and they told me its by appointment only which they did not state the day before on the phone.

I was a return customer have spent several thousand of dollars here usually i dont do reviews the work was good but being a return customer and being completely ignored was a dissapointment.I also have several friends and family that i have recommended and got work done there and all said same thing work is good people skills are garbage, we will all be going elsewere for our work.

Guy was very rude, felt like he was pushing me to leave when I wanted to buy something, didnt feel like I was welcomed at all, would not return anytime soon

Great service. Tim was very friendly, professional, and informative. Definitely highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a piercing.

Very nice people, very professional. Had a tattoo done by Devon and it came out great!

Great artist , me and my best friend got matching tattoos , very clean , friendly, and fast!

Matt was a very thorough piercer. Explained everything clearly and was very nice. Highly recommend.

Horrible experience! Very rude! Went in for four tiny hearts for four generations. We were too high energy for him because he had a long day!

Audie is the man! Always love the way my work comes out and the shop is one my favorites to spend time in.

They where there in the building but didnt answer there phone. They missed out on. They should really work on your online site and let ppl know if your closed or taking anyone new!

My daughter just got her 4th tattoo done here. She is happy with it and the professionalism of Devan.

Matt is excellent, he explains everything thoroughly. This was our second time here, well be coming back.

The guy was really rude I will never visit him again the tatto is not worth of cost I got very small but not statisfied!!

I have got both if my tattoos done here great work.

My boii did a good job on my first tattoo i recommend them

Audie hooked it up. Dude is bada$$.

I called to try and schedule an appointment but the person who answered was very rude. I certainly wont recommend this establishment.

Great piercer at this place. Clean and knowledgeable people.

For surreee going back, love the customer service. 100% recommended

Everyone is friendly, professional, and does good qaulity work!

You get what you pay for. Totally happy, every time I go there.
