Newport Tattoo

Was able to book a same day appointment with Gustavo. Highly recommend. I came in wanting to get a tattoo for my dog (my sweet potato) that passed the previous week, and it came out better than I expected. His pricing is fair, and the quality of work is amazing. Thank you again, Gustavo. 🤘🏻

Josh was professional and patient with my wife and I as we got matching tattoos and my very first one. He was meticulous about the detail. A consummate professional. Highly recommend!

Best tattoo shop in the Newport/costa Mesa area! Great artists and awesome service. Totally recommend!

Small shop but very talented artists. Brought my oldest here for her first tattoo. Would definitely recommend.

Such an awesome place! My sister and I got our ears pierced. Toby was amazing. He stayed late to help us out and was so incredibly kind through the whole process and explained everything so well. This place is so awesome! Totally would recommend!

Everyone was so welcoming and accommodating for the tattoos we wanted! Will and Kareem both did our tattoos and they are perfect! I can’t say enough how great the whole place was. Not your typical tattoo environment in the best possible way. We couldn’t ask for a better experience.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!! My friends and I got walk in tattoos done by Christian and he did a wonderful job! He made the experience fun and everyone was so friendly. A couple people recommended this shop to me and I’m so glad they did! I will most define coming back for more tattoos!

I love this place and Mars did a wonderful job. We (went with a friend who feels the same way!) walked in and she was accommodating and kind, did exactly what we wanted. She drew everything up and adjusted it to be perfect. Awesome and already messaging her about my next tattoo!

Nice staff that did great work. I got a small horse, about 4 x 4 inches done in water color (think Lisa Frank, Im an 80s baby) on my ribs. Sounds odd, but I cant think of a better way of describing my artist than gentle. I know the ribs can be horribly painful, but it was not bad at all.

4th tattoo in and havent been to a better shop than this! Super chill artists. Made my weekend when they were able to get us in last minute. Just got something small but the lines and colors make a statement. Eric M is a great tattoo artist highly recommend!

I had a really great experience here. Mike was a great artist and really listened and worked with me from start to finish. I felt it was, laid back but professional environment and reasonably priced too. Ill absolutely be back to get more work here next time Im in town, and I highly recommend it!

Extremely professional staff. Everyone was friendly, even those not tattooing me. Samurai did excellent work and has an incredibly steady hand. Very happy with his work, I will be back.

After saving my money up to get a tattoo, the pandemic hits and forces us to shut down. Anxiously and Patiently waiting to get tattooed, things started opening up the least we can do is our part and wear a dam mask. I Ran away after seeing no one wearing a mask. If they can’t follow a simple recommended safety protocol, I can’t imagine them caring about other stuff like cleaning and sanitizing. I went to “Devoted Ink” in Temecula and got my tattoo instead where the artist had no problem sitting 4 hours with a mask.

Got a tattoo done by Dave. Great artist! Took the time to make sure he found something that specifically fit what I wanted. The parlour was clean, and VERY well maintained. Everyone was very professional, and made sure that I was comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing tattoo. 👍

One of the best shops ive ever been too, super calm, good energy, and Christian gave me not only a great tat but also a great experience:) love it highly recommend

Just got a new tattoo. First time at this shop. Service was good. Justin was very polite and did a great job. Made me and my husband feel very comfortable. Although there was an artist who looked like he was mexican who was very disrespectful. He made derogatory comments to me and my husband about the tattoo I was to get. Very unprofessional.

Yo Christian is the man! His tattoos are crispy and super clean. Even if you dont get a tattoo, stop in and say hi to these fine lads cause it will be an epic time all around.

Had my first tattoo done here. Everyone was awesome and made me feel comfortable. I LOVE my tattoo!! Its 376 miles away so its a bit of a trek but I cant wait to get back there to get more done.

I’ve had 3 tats done here and going for my 4th. Silvia is one oft he best artists I’ve had. I’d highly recommend this place but make an appointment—-they are quite busy.It’s reasonable and not too pricey for the OC.

This place is an absolute joke. They have 0 professionalism. Friday the 13th I waited around for 2 1/2 hours and I’m told that I’ll be next and when I say that I’m next the artist tries to tell me that no I’m not and they completely disregard me and start choosing other people. These artists are lazy and they’re not that good, go anywhere else in Newport, Balboa, or even LA but don’t go here.

Artist, jake campbell who works there is a scammer. He did a chest peice for me, finished half of it and meved states without any info or idea of when he would finish. When i reached out to him he told me he was homless and unwilling to repay me or finish the work. I then saw pictures of him tattooing a month latter. Ive given ample time to make it right and have not gotten anywhere. Beware, he will not follow through or make things right.

Been going to this tattoo shop for about 10 years. Kareem maserani is the best. Taco kick. Good attitudes. Professional and courteous customer service. Good atmosphere. Good teamwork. Great art.

These guys are awesome. my wife went in to get a nose pierce, and she ended up gettin INK from Crystal then, i got INK from Chelsea. There was a guy there.. Ari, who was very attentative and was able to touch up my design quickly while Chelsea was doin a tattoo on someone else. He was also the piercing guy on duty and did my wifes nose. The next day, my Brother-in-law went in and got a tattoo done on his calf by Justin Hobson. Excellent work all the way around from all three artists, and super fantastic people. The Crew at this TAT shop is fantastic, and they operate as a team. a great environment, and AWESOME people. if you are in the neighborhood and want INK done. Go visit these people.

Great place to get tattooed. I have been going there to get tattooed for years. They have super talented artists all with cool personalities. They also do piercing. All around great place.

Only about 1% of my ink held. I called and made an appointment. I drove over an hour to get there. When I got there, the artist said that he did not have that ink on hand. I was told that the manager would call me the next day. That never happened. DO NOT GO. The follow up is non-existent if you need touch ups. I was also told that touch ups were free, then it was $70.

Unprofessional and the guy christian is extremely rude as soon as you express a concern. not a single person in the shop even attempted to wear a mask and that seems pretty unacceptable considering they are in your face for a piercing.

Don’t wear masks at all when covid is going on, should be shut down. the piercings aren’t even done well, they’re done too slow and not even properly cleaned.

CHRISTIAN CRITTENDEN pierced my cheeks with bars that WERE TOO SMALL FOR EVEN A LIP PIERCING. -THEY WERE NOT THE RIGHT BARS AT ALL AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY ANOTHER PROFESSIONAL PIERCER WHO REMOVED THEM BEFORE IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SURGERY, AS THEY WERE BEING ABSORBED INTO MY CHEEKS. Upon calling to discuss this serious mistake, I was gaslighted by being told that I lied about the severity, about going to another piercer to get them removed & I was called ignorant.

If you had a bad experience here you are probably a level 12 scab farmer. These guys are simply some of the best there are out there. Not only talented but friendly as well you would be a jagaloon to go elsewhere.

Artist Matt Vaught did an outstanding job creating a beautiful tattoo for me. Will definitely be back for another awesome piece of art.

Ari was legit! His artwork is awesome and his skill is just as good. Did my piece quickly and without an ounce of pain.

Cant imagine going anywhere else. Cool people, SUPER talented! I have referred several people to them and even made a friend fly in to go there instead of some place by her.

Got exactly what I wanted. Dave Edwards was professional and honest, the facility was clean and I had a great time with my bestie getting my tattoo!

Very talented artists. I got a traditional piece done on my arm and its absolutely dope. Couldnt have been happier with how it came out.

As usual beautiful work. Well worth the drive from AZ. TY mikey for being such a sweet and talented artist.

Amazing tattoo shop!!!! I’ve gotten almost all my tattoos there and never wanna go anywhere else

Very disrespectful comments and bad attitudes. Overall was awful, for the money. Tat was blown out and awful, have to get it fixed! By someone else of course. Unless your a pervy, ego maniac guy, you wont fit in.

Great experience! Great service! Showed artist pictures of what I wanted and he made it unique and I loved it!

I agree with the previous post. To watch so many shops work so hard to follow guidelines them see one blatantly disregard them is sickening. My familys business will go elsewhere.

Nice People ...but the guys hand was so light, this tattoo looks like it was drawn on by a pencil and half of it was erased. Bummed I live on the other side of the states.

Very nice Tattoo Artist Ryan, hes doing and amazing job on my arm, piece by piece

Wonderful experience, got 3 of us in and we are so Happy with the work! Thank you!

Very friendly staff, great location, too notch. Kareem is the best around.

Samurai is so good. I had an awesome time being tattooed by him

Nice job. Just one week needed to draw my idea I want to get as a ink. Love it.

Walked out after the piercer refused to wear a mask and I witnessed unsanitary techniques on someone else getting pierced

Love my new ink. Place was clean and everyone was so nice

Amazing Tattoo Shop!! Great artists!! Samurai rocks!!!

Samarai is the best. He does Polynesian too

Had a mother daughter tattoo
