I never leave 1 star reviews but this time I must. As I was orienting to this good stars rating when I chose this shop.I had a tattoo idea and called this shop, showed them what I wanted, and was told that the project could easily be done.I made an appointment and was surprised to see a locked door... I texted the artist and he replied to me that he was running late (at that time I had already been waiting 15 min, so he did not text me in advance). In the end he showed up 45 minutes later than the appointment and he proceeded to start arguing with me...I wanted to walk out, but somehow he talked me in to continuing the project by telling me that he could do the tattoo I wantedI stayed and he tattooed me. Thr tattoo blurred within a week and when I came the second time in hopes that he could fix it, he started telling me that this is what I wanted and that it was fine (basically gaslighting me) ... then he tried to fix it and overdid my skin. I will have scars now and I have to redo the tattoo or laser it out. When I saw it I cried for a few days as this horrible experience will forever be with me.
Big Tuna was awesome! My second tattoo and my boyfriends first. He was super nice and put effort into making sure the stencil was aligned and perfect. He made sure that the pain wasnt too much for both me and my boyfriend. Overall amazing. Also, Im visiting California for Thanksgiving, and didnt have a lot of time to find someone who can do watercolor, and he exceeded my expectations. 💙
Went to see Tuna here, he did a great job. His focus was on making sure the tattoo turned out right. I had a really old worn down tattoo that he revitalized.
Big tuna gave me a cool tattoo. I just showed him a picture and let him do his thing. Turned out dope.
Loved my experience here my artist was Hayden he was super approachable and patient! I knew what I wanted in my head but he was the one that really made it come to life, he totally listened and understood my vision for this piece. His black and grey work is phenomenal, I came to him specifically for his lettering and his style. I had a little accident I went on vacation two days after my appointment and didn’t take care of it properly I freaked out and called Hayden, he scheduled me in as soon as I got back so he can take a look and do some damage control as well touch ups once it healed completely. Super grateful for his expertise and being so unjudgmental to the situation… I followed his instructions to the T and my arm looks better than ever! The shop was clean and very welcoming I can see why they are rated so high. All in all, I would definitely recommend this shop and specifically Hayden he was recommended to me by my friends and we will certainly be back.
This is a review that needs to be considered before anyone wants to get a tattoo done with the artist Trent Ormonde. There’s all good reviews here but I’ve got a different experience to share, one that I’ve put off for a while(I wasnt sure what I wanted to do moving forward regarding coming back). I’ve been a good client with Trent for at least half a year before he decided to get unprofessional and ask ME, as a client, to borrow money! Yeah that’s right! The worst part? He wasn’t going to return it until I made it clear that I’m done playing games. You want to go to this shop? Their reputation is still good but only if they keep artists that aren’t as cheap as Trent. I also have reason to believe that after we worked out the money issue, he tattooed my arm too deep and it never healed right. I believe it’s possible because my healing method was the same as always and there is a lot of tattoo scaring. Everything about this guy screams STAY AWAY. I have proof of the money situation as well as a picture of my arm. No amount of money is worth the trouble I went through with this person. I will find someone else to finish the sleeve I started I just need other people to know that Trent Ormonde is an dishonest guy.
Ive been thinking about getting my first tattoo for the longest time, but because of Covid, I couldnt find a single place that would take me in. Sergio happily stepped forward and took on the job, reassuring me throughout the process while also being incredibly professional and clean. Didnt hurt at all, and Im very satisfied with the result! Thank you for an amazing first tattoo!
1 star for the specific tattooist i went to, not the entire shop. The shop was pretty standard, Hayden tattoo’d me and I definitely wouldn’t recommend going to him. He’s cool but he definitely scarred me in significant parts of the tattoo, I tried to confront him about it and he denied it, even though i’ve talked to multiple other tattoo artists who acknowledged it was a scar. I could feel it was hurting more than usual but I thought it may be because of where he was tattooing, only to find out it didn’t heal properly. I wouldn’t recommend working with him just simply because a tattoo is something permanent so he definitely should make sure he’s not scarring people, if it was in a more visible area I would’ve reported him further, all who read this beware - work with any of the other tattoo artists but avoid Hayden
Today Ive got my first tattoo by Trent. He was superb. Very professional, friendly, and most importantly really detailed with his work. Consistently asking if I like the way it is going, and very cooperative when I ask for extra details. I am a designer myself and really focus on lifeworks and details and Trent met my satisfaction. I would go back to him to get another one.
I went here for the first time to get a Friday the 13th tattoo. It was very busy (put my name on the list at 1:30, tattoo wasnt until 6 with 3 no-shows before me) but I was very pleased. The different artists had cool designs and it was very affordable. The shop is bright, open, and clean. I love my new tattoo done by Jag!
My artist was Sergio. He did my first tattoo here and Im very happy with the way it turned out! Very professional and friendly staff over all. Gave good and clear advice for healing process for newbies.
Extremely talented artists. Ive had a few tattoos done by JAG. Best cover up artist in the Bay Area!! Check out his work, youll be impressed for sureFriendly shop, will definitely be back for more
Great experience in the shop! Especially with Big Tuna as he was patient as I changed my mind last minute... multiple times. The tattoo looks fantastic and I love it so much!
Came here for a consult with jag for a cover up. We waited for a while. He was fashionably late. But who isnt 😉🤣 Jag was nice and friendly. He answered all my questions and dumb questions. Lol considering I was nervous. I was a little bummed to not get my idea for my cover up. But jag gave me other options I could work with. He is the professional so I trust his opinions and suggestions. The other few staff that were there were nice and friendly too. Especially (I dont know his name but Im guessing he is the apprentince/manger.) He was the one I spoke to on the phone. He was super nice and friendly. Overall atmosphere was welcoming. And not to mention we left with tattoos from jag and Sergio. They did an amazing job. Jag made me feel comfortable. But Sergio was a little to quite. LolIll see you guys soon!!! 👍🤗😁 Thanks!
Got my neck tattoo here. Getting one on the neck can be super painful but these guys are professionals. I once had a tattoo guy in vegas who seemed higher than cloud nine, and let’s just say he kept the needle in one spot for 10 minutes. You’ll get none of that here. You’ll sign a bunch of disclosures and off you go to get your beautiful art piece permanently placed wherever you want it.Sounds crazy right, unless it’s something that has great meaning to you. Once you are done with your tattoo, they’ll hand you an after care paper to inform you on how to take care of it. I was in and out if this place in less than an hour, and they were nice enough to help me even though they were close to closing.
Victor took care of me and went above and beyond my expectations. I left more than satisfied and cant wait until the next random ink idea I get to get in some more time with Big Tuna Tattoos. Such a clean flawless job, exactly what I wanted.
All of the artists are super varied so regardless of who you go to youre sure to get what you want. Everyone is super friendly and makes you feel comfortable and homey while youre visiting. The shop is also exceptionally clean which is a big hitter for me.
I havent personally gotten tattooed here yet but my wife has, and I was there through the process. Pretty cool spot to get tatted at and the tattoo that she did get looks very very very good.
“I got my first tattoo done by joe. It shaped up better than expected. Very clean place. highly recommend it.
Jag has done three big pieces on me. All three amazing. Ready to start my back now. Great shop atmosphere. Great people.
Sergio is a Cool, Patient, understanding Artist. And His Work is Solid
