I cannot say more about how amazing of an experience working with Paul and the Abyss team has been over the past year. As an artist Paul is a master of his craft both from an execution and communicative standpoint. Every detail of this tattoo was discussed and the evolution of this piece from our first consultation to finished product over 8+ sessions is a testament of his ability to take an idea, run with it and execute it. The shop is spotless and all of the other artists and employees contribute to a welcoming vibe that makes you want to keep coming back. I highly recommend this shop for any and all tattoo needs!
Kellie (@daintiekellie) made my first tattoo experience a great one! She was super sweet and made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process; not to mention, her fine line tattoos are SO detailed and clean. Kellie is incredibly talented and knowledgeable - I would 10/10 recommend!
I did a lot of research before I got my first tattoo and found Kellie on Instagram. From start to finish she was incredibly professional, kind, and understood just how personal and special I wanted this tattoo to be. Her work is outstanding, I can’t imagine going to anyone else. I did get a fineline tattoo from her, but I’ve seen her other work and that is equally amazing. Also, Abyss Tattoo studio was super clean, which was really important to me too. I seriously can’t imagine going anywhere else or to anyone else. 10/10 experience.
I got a custom vine wrap tattoo from Kellie (dainty Kellie) and it is absolutely amazing! Her tattoos are beautiful and I got exactly what I was looking for. She has such a calm and friendly energy plus the studio is very welcoming, clean, and professional. I will definitely be coming back to see Kellie!
Just got my Friday the 13th tattoo done by Alyssa! The space at the studio is super cool and open, full of sick art and talented, friendly artists worth visiting for your next tattoo
I must give a warm shoutout to A.J. I recently went to Abyss over this past weekend to get my very first tattoo. This was a big deal for me for many reasons. My mom recently passed and I knew this was how I wanted to honor her. My mom and I had a special connection to rainbows. Therefore, that is what I wanted to get for my first tattoo. A.J was quick, efficient and professional. I was able to get an appointment with her almost immediately. The day of, A.J walked me through everything as she was doing it. She made sure of the stencil and position was what I wanted. She even drew a line so I could feel what it would be like. She honored my mom and even said in the future that we can add to it. A.J a thousand times thank you! I love my tattoo. Someone please give her some recognition for her work and a raise! I will be back for more. :)
I called for a consultation and met summer. I went in for a piece I’ve wanted for 3 years and summer took care of me quickly, she used elements from the sources I had given her and came up with an amazing design! I originally wanted it on my forearm but she gave me her professional opinion to move it to my upper arm since the fine details wouldn’t appear as clear and because I had other tattoos that wouldn’t allow it to be a good size. I’m very open to professional criticism and agreed and I do not regret it! She did an amazing job, the lines were clean and the healing process was the easiest I ever had. I’m going back to finish it tmrw. She’s very friendly, helpful, professional and an amazing artist, I would definitely recommend! Another plus is that everyone that works there is super nice and makes sure that you’re comfortable & the prices are very reasonable.
Got a tattoo by alx and love my tattoo the whole team is so nice and fun can’t wait to go back ❤️❤️❤️
Highly recommend 10 out of 10 very professional experience with Nick. He gave me the best guidance and tattoo best business tattoo in Long Beach. Highly recommend 🙏🏻
Highly recommend Dainty Kellie for fine line tattoos! Such a nice artist and did an amazing job
I’d just like to say , as someone who has been getting tattooed for over 30 yrs , Abyss is an awesome shop. I was looking to add on to some Japanese style work that I had done by another quite well known artist who no longer lives in the area. Finding an artist of the same caliber isn’t as easy as you’d think. Then I found Ronda. Needless to say she more than met my expectations. She did an incredible job and was a pleasure to work with , from design to execution and her personal was a bonus. I’ve become a regular customer and everyone in the shop , Paul ,Dan and Mike do amazing work in a variety of styles. The vibe is awesome and along with being professional they’re all a lot of fun. They’ve become one of the premier shops around , I highly recommend.
After checking out Brian’s designs that he has posted on the shop’s website, I was hoping that he would be able to work an octopus into some other work that I had done on my arm. We met for a consult and was able to get a time scheduled.I am beyond happy with the work that Brian did. He’s super personable, easy to work with, and plowed through a pretty large piece. Brian would be the first person I would talk to about getting anything else done.
In the process of getting a sleeve done and I can’t stress enough how talented all of the artists here are. Especially Ronda who’s doing my sleeve. The attention to detail is incomparable. The shop is very clean and the environment is laid back and friendly. Honest shop with no surprises. After working with Ronda I don’t think I’d let anyone else do my ink. I walked in found some photos I thought would work she pointed me in the right direction on what to look for. True craftsmanship and quality comes from practice to perfect your trade and she is a master at what she does. I could not be any happier with the work she’s done. Highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for any work done.
I was recently here to get a cover up/touch up of an old tattoo. Alyssa free handed a beautiful & unique piece that I am absolutely in love with. She is so creative and talented- a true artist that I am so happy to have found!The shop was clean and quiet and the rest of the staff were extremely respectful & friendly! I would recommend this shop to anyone looking to get quality work done.
I got a tattoo from Ronda, shes an awesome artist.Its a great little local shop! Everyone in the place were super professional, considering the restrictions of the Corona they did everything by the rules.One of the few places where I actually really liked all the works by all the working artists.Highly recommended.
AJ did such an incredible job fixing up an old tattoo and adding some additions to it to make it more meaningful and special. She and Abyss are incredibly accommodating and beyond friendly. Although I don’t live anywhere close to the tattoo studio I am making a trip back to have AJ do another tattoo for me in the near future. Highly recommend their clean and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, friendliness, and accommodating staff.
I cannot rave about Rhonda enough!! I am absolutely so in love with my tattoo. She was gentle, paid attention to even the finest details and such a pleasure to hang out with while she worked on me. She made me feel confident that she listened to exactly what I needed and wanted for my scar cover-up. I would recommend her for your first tattoo, cover-ups and detailed work. Honestly, I would recommend her for all your tattoos, but for those I cant imagine anyone besides her. Thanks Rhonda, youre an amazing artist!!!
Hi my name is Jennie Veryzer and I cannot say enough good things about this tattoo shop and especially about Ronda Xanthos who tattooed me on a whim When she was just about to pack up and leave for the evening. I was getting a matching tattoo with someone and while waiting for him to be finished with his I felt my anxiety building because I am much more of a planner and I am a perfectionist and I’ve only been to one other tattoo artist my entire life. Ronda Noticed me waiting nervously and came over and asked if Everything was all right. I practically broke down into tears when she asked. she was so comforting compassionate and warm. I was able to express to her my concerns and how I’m a perfectionist this is on my body forever and It needs to be perfect the list went on. She told me to wait a few minutes came back and said OK girl I got you. She then spent the next 2 1/2 hours catering to my every silly little request making sure I was always comfortable making sure I loved it and it came out so perfect I’m crying right now just remembering how awesome she did. From that day forward I knew she would be my new tattoo artist in my new town. She is currently in the process of drawing me The most amazing creative peace I will ever have. She includes me in every step of the way and is absolutely what are the best tattoo artists I’ve ever known. She is professional kind accommodating and never makes you feel silly for any question you may have I highly recommend her and Abyss fine art and tattoo studio. Everyone that works there is professional friendly and amazing.
This shop is amazing. Hybrid tattoo shop and art studio, the experience Ive had there has been great. The shop is full of art, and music. The staff are nothing but friendly and accommodating. I have been working with Dan on a space sleeve that is evolving into something even better than I had hoped for. Flipping through all of the portfolio albums shows me that all the artists there are all first class. Dan Henk is a friendly, intelligent professional who has made my time there something to always look forward to. I will absolutely be going back to The Abyss for my next piece and would reccomend them to anyone looking for high quality work.
Been getting work done by Dan Henk for nearly 20 years. He is a masterful artist and a fantastic person. I can say for sure that if I didnt have him as an artist I wouldnt have most of the art on me that I do. He is a superstar artist who truly cares about his art and his customers happiness. The pricing for the quality of work he does is more than fair and there is no feeling like giving a piece to an artist knowing with full confidence that the work will come out perfectly done. I highly recommend him and any artist at the shop as they are all extremely skilled and genuinely nice people. Take my word for it, you will be delighted by the experience.
Ronda worked with my wife and I all day long and gave us 2 amazing pieces for an extremely fair price. The shop itself is very awesome, and the others that worked there were very friendly as well. I highly recommend going to Abyss for your tattoos. We’ll definitely be going back!
Absolute best shop to go to on the Island, the owners care about the quality of the art that leaves their shop and each and every one of the artists are not only insanely talented but extremely passionate about their work. If you want a tattoo people will ask about for years to come, come to this shop!
Ronda Xanthos is an incredibly talented artist, who takes the time to listen to what the customer is trying to do, and adds her experienced thoughts on what can work best. Once a design is agreed upon, her clean lines and attention to detail set her work apart. I have 5 pieces by Ronda, and think so highly of her work that Ive followed her from NYCs lower east side, to uptown, and out to LI! Highly recommend her. Clean shop, very professionally run.
Got my first tattoo done by Dan. He’s incredible at what he does. The space sleeve he did for me was amazing and I can’t wait to add to it. Definitely going back for more. Clean shop, very welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend checking this shop out!
Great shop! Dan Henk tattooed my space sleeve with an amazing amount of detail and realism. 100% psyched about the way it turned out. Very clean & professional shop in a great location in Long Beach. I would recommend Abyss to anyone looking to get quality work done by very good & experienced tattoo artists.
Ronda did a phenomenal job on my upper arm piece❤️ I’m super pleased! She’s very detail oriented, passionate, creative & has an awesome personality as well! Super great work ethic! 10/10 would recommend her !
Dan the Man came through for me on a portrait of H.P. Lovecraft. Ol Howard never looked so good! I got to get work done by this shop when they flew into Austin for the Star of Texas Tattoo and Art Revival expo in January. I put the deposit down in December and Dan had a stencil ready for me the day of my appointment. Dan was professional, courteous, and got some Bactin for me when we knew we were going to need it, and he never made me feel like a chicken about it. When things looked to be going a little sideways in healing, Dan offered to fixit without batting an eye. Cant wait to see Dan and the guys from Abyss Fine Art & Tattoo Studio when they come back in January. Head on in to the shop in Long Beach and dont hesitate to reach out for work when the guys go to expos. Great experience!
I wish I would’ve found this place a heck of a lot sooner. I got my last three tattoos at The Abyss by three different artists and each one was an excellent experience. Their professionalism combined with their skill and outgoing personalities is second to none. I don’t have too much open skin left for more ink but whatever tattoos I do get I’m not going anywhere else. I can’t recommend this place enough. My only regret is I found this place about 30 years too late
Great Vibe-Superior High level Tattoos! A clean, friendly, relaxing atmosphere with detail oriented passionate people. I’m beyond happy with my cover up fix Ronda did. She’s amazing!
Rhonda x. Is absolutely fantastic she tattooed my neck a very delicate area. I did not feel anything but a slight tickling iij love my work she is a true professional and extremely seasoned artist yhank you for my wonderful work. Lv it run dont walk to th he abyss tattoo shop for a truly great experience
Absolutely loved going here for the first time. Everyone was so kind and helpful. I’m definitely going back and I highly recommend going here for your tattoo.
Amazing artists n a great staff very welcoming n felt comfortable n relaxed
Incredible shop/environment with phenomenal artists. Highly recommend anybody looking for a tattoo to go there 100%. Dan did a sick job on my hand tattoo and i couldn’t be happier.
Dan did my tattoo. All I can say is wow. Very detail oriented and clean shop. Everyone that works at the shop treated me so well and very cool. Highly, highly recommend.
Paul’s cover up turned into a sick piece, the original tattoo is completely undetectable and the new one is a work of art. A second one is in progress to finish out a 1/2 sleeve. Paul is a true artist, totally worth the wait!!
Great experience couldn’t be happier with my results
Paul is the man. Ive been getting work done from him over the past 4 years. He has built a team of talented artist that can cater to any style. Well worth the couple months of waiting. Keep up the awesome work. By the way whens the next opening?
I was tattooed by Ronda what a pro. I was so happy with her work. The whole shop is professional, immaculate and has great talent. I wish I could give it a 10...... I would reco.nend this shop highly. Great talent !!!
Abyss is the place to go for phenomenal tattoos created by super talented, professional artists. No attitude here. Just a group of people doing what they love in a fun, clean space. Look forward to visiting again soon.
Thank you so much Dan Henk for my Awesome space half sleeve. This is definitely the best place to get a tattoo and id recommend anyone looking for a tattoo to go stop in. Very professional shop with amazing artists! Thanks again!
They should def include somewhere visible and let u know that deposits are non refundable. even during a time of global crisis.It literally takes me 2 days (16hrs) to make the deposit I left for a tattoo that was never even drawn up. Dan could have been courteous during all of this and choose to give my deposit back but he chose not to. Rather, chose to not help out and make it sound like hes suffering financially. Please man. Im a single working mom.. dont give me that. but np.. were all suffering.. its all about helping each other out. no one said I dont want the tattoo.no one said I wouldnt pay you. I simply requested for my $150 back so I can buy food for my house bc my kid is home and I lost my job. Im literally typing this sick in bed. but enjoy the free money. karma friend.I understand deposits may not be refundable ... but u never told me that..or showed me the sign.... u just took all the money I had in my wallet to give and said nothing. matter fact... details that were discussed about tattoo and placement ... u asked about again a month later..indicating u had no idea what we had said or that u did any work on it.BEWARE!!!! NO HUMAN COURTESY!!!!!!
Really nice clean shop. Very talented artists in tattoo and other media. The walls have some of the pairings and drawings done by the shop artists, wow! Highly recommend checking this place out!
My experience was superior. Dan not only did great work, i was comfortable and relaxed knowing the entire time he was going to do a great job. Couldnt have had a better experience. Im going back for 2 more tats ASAP.
Lovely place! Very clean, artistic atmosphere, friendly staff. My tattoo healed just fine with the aftercare recommendations and Im more than satisfied!
I’ve been getting work from Dan for over 15 years and I can’t say how happy I am with everything he has done. We’re working on my second sleeve, it’s looking phenomenal and I can’t wait to see when it’s all finished! I highly recommend.
Great place, everyone is nice you can feel the good vibes. a young female artist Summer Ejnes took care of me and designed my tattoo on the spot, very professional and clean work I’m happy about it and recommend this place ❤️🙏
Beautiful and immaculate shop with amazing service. ABSOLUTELY in love with the tattoo I got from Dan. Perfect line work. Highly recommend.
Love this shop and the artists there. Absolutely amazing you should call them and get started on your next piece. Ive got 5 and working towards 6 now.
Clean, professional and awesome!! Dan and the rest of the shop are the best in the business!!! The time and detail that is put into their art is second to none! Absolutely love the work
Brian is 100% worth the hundreds of miles I have traveled to get back in his chair!! Beautiful work by someone who enjoys what he does and it shows!
He pulled me apart. Amazing
Awesome shop - cool Art gallery/ studio vibe, very clean and above all the most talented and top artists .custom quality I Highly recommend
Have to go into a couple of different tattoo parlors stopped into this place and the people there were overly helpful went out of their way to make me feel welcome unlike other tattoo parlors in Long Beach that told me how much it was an hour and then couldnt help me at all or even talk to me
Amazing experience here! One on one attention and the work is stellar. Best tat yet! Ty so much
