CAPTAIN TATTOO ART STUDIO

Friday the 13th was so organized! The wait was not too long and everyone we interacted with was so nice. This shop is always doing great benefits for the community and we will definitely be back for more. Stephen was my artist and was a pleasure to talk with! His tattoo came out so clean and beautiful!

I had a great experience at this place, easy to find, good location, and Rocky gave me exactly what i wanted. Just did two little tattoos but she was professional and efficient and did a great job. Super light hand, I could barely feel a thing. Got a matching tattoo with my dad, both very happy. We will be coming back for more ❤️❤️❤️ highly recommend this place. Reasonable prices too. 10/10

Great place!The Halloween deal was very affordable. The artist Stephen Hecker, tattooed my girlfriend and myself. He was very skilled, calm, and made the experience for a first timer like myself incredibly enjoyable. Ill be coming back for sure.

I came during the Friday the 13th event. Everyone was so awesome and nice! Stephen did both my tattoos and they are perfect! He was super nice and fun to talk to. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience with Stephen Hecker during the Friday the 13th tattoo event. My boyfriend and I got three little tattoos between the two of us and he made the process quick and easy. Very personable and we had a great conversation. He also made a quick modification that was very meaningful to my boyfriend. Many thanks!

Great experience with Stephen Hecker. Definitely will be coming back to him.Also you should look at his insta it awesome @whatthehecker88

Spike is an absolutely amazing artist! I came in wanting a coverup and he completely exceeded my expectations of what could be done. He took every aspect I wanted down to the very minimum details and worked with me to give me something that was what I wanted as well as something that would work well as a cover up and would last through the test of time. He creates true artwork and on top of that the shop is inviting and the other staff are all incredibly sweet and invested in making sure you feel comfortable and have an amazing experience. After being let down by another shop in town, I have now found the shop and artist I will be returning to for every tattoo from here on out!

Captain Tattoo is a phenomenal shop ran by Spike Moore, and established veteran. Most of my larger pieces were done here and the artists who did them check off all the boxes when it comes to quality, proper sterilization and pricing. The artists I’ve worked with are very personable and kind. It’s always pleasant to return. The monthly flash sales are great too. 10/10. I would recommend this place to anyone in search of a great tattoo.

Stephen Hecker is the best! If you want something nerdy/pop culture, hes your guy!

Stephen Hecker did a great job! Fast, polite, and exactly what/where I wanted my tattoo. Definitely worth a full star rating!

Your days of Tattoo studio shopping are over. ⚓️⚡️Every artist here is amazing in their own way. I recently won the Lucky Flash Bash and got tattooed by the one and only Spike. Stoked on this tattoo its so beautiful and vivid and just an awesome experience. Everyone in there is starting to feel like family and very talented. As someone who loves the art and therapy of tattoos I Really appreciate this place, its people and HIGHLY recommend you book here

Spike was amazing! Thank you for the beautiful tattoo of my dog Shiro. Its like you brought him back to life. I know hes with me now. Thank you. Great place and great people. Thanks to Susie for being so kind.

Second time coming up here for Friday the 13th and the shop hasn’t failed us yet. The flash selection, the artists as well as the overall vibe as a shop is what keeps me coming back. I’ll definitely be back soon 😊

Love my artist stephen! We got talking about a piece and his art style to work perfect together and cant wait for my next tattoo with him!

Great tattoo studio to visit to get some new ink. Every one is very friendly and welcoming. The studio is very clean and decorative, making it a warm and comfortable environment. The artists are fun to talk to, they have great banter! I live about an hour away, but definitely worth the drive. Looking forward to my next visit!

Got an Adventure Time themed tattoo here done by the marvelous Tanner B! I am so happy with it and it means so much to me! 10/10 would recommend! Definitely check him out!!

Got tattooed by Tanner. Awesome guy. Good experience. Super clean. Super friendly.

Ive gotten work from stephen hecker here for my birthdays the past two years he is an awesome artist to go to if youre looking for something bright and colorful. He does an awesome job in a pretty quick amount of time and is a chill dude.

Did Friday the 13th tattoos here with my wife. Was a great experience and it was very organized.

Susie is AMAZING! Shes so friendly, and made me feel right at home. She was very welcoming and she did a great job with my tattoo. I got a tattoo from her when she was an apprentice and she did a great job. She told me that she could do a small tattoo from her sheet of ideas, but I asked her to do something a little different. I wanted an outline of Hogwarts. She didn’t hesitate to do something different for me and did a GREAT job with my tattoo.She doesn’t have a heavy hand which is great. I plan on going back for more tattoos from Susie! I highly recommend her if you’re looking for an awesome tattoo!

I had an amazing experience at Captain Tattoo! The staff was very friendly and I love my butterfly tattoo done by Susie (@tatsusieq)!! She put so much detail into the butterfly and made it the perfect size I was looking for. I highly recommend Susie and will definitely come back when I’m in the area!

Definitely a very solid shop to go to. This was my first time going and it did not disappoint. I got a flash piece from Rocky and her careful hand and close attention to detail created a unique and truly crisp piece. She was very nice and accommodating, she was able to make the flash I wanted come out even better than Id hoped. The other artists there were pretty cool too, and their piercer was always up and helping out and squeezed in clients whenever they came in. Id definitely recommend coming here.

My husband and I Absolutely LOVE our new tattoos! Spike was such an amazing person and he is great at what he does we definitely will be coming back!

This is our second time attending a Friday the 13th event and we will continue to come back. Staff is professional and work is clean

Amazing service from Chantelle. Cant be happier than I am right now. Thank you so much

Spike did a phenomenal job on my tattoo today, 01/19/2024. He truly exceeded my expectations - the tattoo is beautifully placed and detailed. He really brought the ‘idea’ into existence and more!Spike (and Vandy) was incredibly easy to communicate with when booking and during the session. He is very attentive and it was a joy speaking with him.For anyone looking to get a tattoo or piercing (I’ve gotten both here), I highly recommend Captain Tattoo! The staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. The studio is very welcoming and is not overwhelming or intimidating.In addition, Captain Tattoo truly cares about the community. I love that they incorporate events, which give back to local charities, etc.

Spike has been doing my tattoos for the last 6 years and has delivered phenomenal results time and time again. First class service and state of the art tattoos provide an amazing experience- you can always expect great work and honesty when it comes to designing your piece. Spike has created 6 pieces for me and I will absolutely be going back! 10/10 recommend going here for great service and a timeless piece!

Stephen is great! Captain does the best Friday the 13th deals

Best time ever at this shop they are so caring and great artist. this is forever the shop I only go to, to get tattooed.

We came in back in August, and I got a flash sheet tattoo & then my husband and I got small matching tattoos from Susie & we couldn’t have been more pleased with the work she did, her professionalism, the atomosphere of the shop. If I hadn’t gotten pregnant right after this we would have been back already! And will definitely be back when I’m no longer pregnant.Susie is amazing & highly recommended for your tattoo needs!!

Went in for their October event my artist Susie was amazing! She has a very light hand and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Definitely scheduling with her for the next tattoo!

I recently got my back done and I go back in 3 weeks to get the shading done. They are really great people and they worked with me on my budget. The quality of tattoo is awesome as well! Im definitely going back to get future tattoos. My artist was amazing and did an excellent job!

Took my fiancé to get her ears piercedSuper last min end of the shift situation and the owner took us in no problem. NEW OWNERSHIP! Must be said if you knew the last guy. Highly recommend!

Steven Hecker is the best! Had a great experience, love his work, shop is clean and welcoming, will be back for all future work . Highly recommend Steven!

Great place! I did the Pokémon roll to determine which one I got. Rocky tattooed a pretty dope piece on my calf for me. If you are looking far a tattoo shop this is the place.

This shop is amazing. All the artists and hosts are so friendly. Always make getting a tattoo such a comfortable experience. They also have the best Friday the 13th deals. Huge selection of flash tattoos for a good price.

Spike Moore did it again. I walked in with some ideas and he made them better. (My whole are has been done by only him.)

Staff is really friendly, and tattoo artists are very talented.

This place is one of the coolest shops Ive been to. The staff is very friendly and happy to help with anything you have in mind i.e. tattoo or piercing. My tattoo artist Johnny Elizaga is an awesome artist and I highly recommend him if you want work done ever.

Paul Webb is an awesome tattoo artist. He did my first,second, and now my third tattoo. Note my current tattoo is swollen and dirty from the ink pen stencil ink.

I absolutely love this place and the work Rocky did! First they responded to my inquiry within two hours (I sent the inquiry about 9pm and got a reply that night). Rocky was amazing throughout the whole process and checked in on me during the tattoo as it was my first. Will definitely be coming back again

Such a cool shop and great atmosphere!! Tanner has done a couple pieces on me now and I LOVE them. Highly recommend coming here and seeing him!

I had a great experience at this shop. My tattoo is fully healed (a year later) and it still looks awesome. This place always has fantastic specials throughout the year, many of them supporting great local causes - just check their website or social media for the events.Safe, clean, and with talented artists... What more could you ask for?LGBT Friendly.

Brandon May @bmayink did a fabulous job on my Friday the 13th black cat! Great work, friendly conversation, and so easy on the eyes! Definitely will be connecting with Brandon again for my next tattoo. Thanks for a great experience!

Stephen was amazing for Friday the 13th tattoos 🤘🏻🤘🏻

I have been tattooed at Captain Tattoo twice within a couple of months and I already feel like it’s my new home shop. The first time I got a walk-in piece done by Andrew, and most recently I got a Flash Bash piece by Dean. Both times, my experiences were professional, comfortable and friendly. It’s easy to recommend this place and I will be back soon!

Really good artist and will work with your budget! Spike did a 8 hour session on a traditional chest piece on me and I couldn’t be happier.

This was my first time getting a tattoo and it was absolutely amazing. Spike was the one who did it and he did a fantastic job. Everyone there was super friendly and Spike was willing to answer all the questions I had. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect first tattoo experience. Definitely check out Pirate tattoo, it’s an amazing place with amazing people.

Awesome customer service. We were a walk in on a Friday the 13th flash sale. They communicated and when there was a last minute design change they were more than accommodating. Spike is awesome. Nailed 4 tattoos for us.

Great shop to just get a piece at or to be a regular for. Friendly staff, clean areas, good equipment, natural lighting. Went for Friday the 13th and everything was organized so smartly, in and out in just a couple hours. Will be visiting the owner Spike again in the near future, very happy with my tattoo.

This place is AMAZING. I have been here twice in the last 2 weeks. I had Franky do my first tattoo and it came out exactly how I wanted it. Stephen did my tattoo today. Both were amazing and do amazing work. Definitely planning on coming back soon and getting a tattoo that Ive been planning. Thank you guys your amazing!Update: Once again I have gone back to captain Tattoo and saw Stephen once again and I had an idea of what I wanted and he put it together. I cant thank him enough for such a wonderful tattoo that will honor my dad. I will always come back to Captain Tattoo for any work I want done.

Had an amazing experience, made my nose piercing a comfortable and quick endeavor. Gotten 2 tattoos on Friday the 13th as well, all the artists are very personable and helpful. If it’s your first time or repeat time for piercings or tattoos I recommend going!

Cool and genuine crew. They made me feel welcome. Mr Mendoza did my tat. It looks fabulous! Thank you!

Got my third, and by FAR BEST my tattoo here. I will definitely be back to get more done, as well as some touch ups on an old tat. Super clean parlor, nice, professional artists - I highly recommend them. Josh did my tattoo. He is an amazing artist. Pays a lot of attention to detail - his portrait work look like actual photographs! He designed what I had in mind perfectly!

From a booking request to walking out with 3 amazing tattoos, Captain Tattoo is the place to go! Vandi was very friendly and helpful via email when it came to finding an artist, every artist had amazing portfolios and my choice went to Stephen because I mainly wanted anime-themed tattoos. Stephen exceeded my expectations with my references (he even introduced watercolor as a concept for one of them). He was very friendly, professional, and made me feel comfortable with the entire process. I will be returning soon for more ink! :)

Loved, loved, LOVED my collaboration with Stephen Hecker to create my work of art! He beautifully brought to life my ideas! I love it so much!

After going to another artist at the shops old location, I had a bad taste about professionalism of this particular person. I decided to do my research to find another artist to finish up my tattoo.Looking through and through, I have stumbled onto Rockys page and pictures. Cha-ching. Emailed her, made an appointment, put down the deposit, come to find out that she is also at the same shop, only now it moves to another location, better in my opinion.Showed up to my appointment, greeted by Rocky in a nice, clean, well lit, ventilated shop, I am relieved. She made sure I am comfortable, understood what I wanted. I am also in beauty service industry, so I have high judgment (in my head) towards people in the same business. She met all of my expectations.Fast forward, I am now having all my appointments with her to finish all the works I need and want. Great job kiddo.

Nice and clean shop, professional people! The Owner( Stephen) is a very cool dude. Went in for a calf tattoo and my artist was Chan, she did a realy nice clean tattoo and i am definitely going back to get more ink! Thanks Chan👌👍BTW i cant wait to get an arm piece from the Owner 20+ years experience specially in Japanese style🔥👍

I went to Captain Tattoo for my very first tattoo, and I do not regret it at all. I was matched up with Chantelle, who was great at working out a perfect time for my appointment. I was super nervous for my first tattoo, but Chantelle really made me feel comfortable and had great customer service. As far as the tattoos go, she did an amazing job and I couldnt ask for it to be any better. It is healing up super nicely, and it was placed perfectly. I would definitely come back here for my next tattoo, thank you so much Chantelle!!

Love this place. Ive been getting tattooed here for awhile and Spike always takes good care of me and anyone else I send into the shop. Always clean and professional. If your looking to get any type of tattoo done this is the place to go. Highly recommend.

I came into the shop to have them continue my half sleeve. Colin is an awesome artist and was very respectful. Colin also worked with me to make sure he could do what I wanted and if he couldnt he would recommend alternatives and not do any work till I was completely happy with the tattoo I was getting. Captain Tattoos is awesome.

Stephen was amazing!! Almost painless!

Absolutely 100% thrilled with my tattoo.Many things to shout out about.... comfortable atmosphere,clean,professional. Dave did my tattoo and I can’t thank him enough. He really took the time to make sure it was exactly what my vision was. I’m totally in love with my new tattoo.

Highly highly recommend very clean relaxing environment. If you do visit must check out Stephen hecker! Did an amazing job on my tattoos couldn’t be happier with them!

Been here multiple times every time Chops has killed it! Absolutely had an amazing experience every time!! Friday the 13th this year was great!!

Super nice shop and great people. Got a few tattoos from tanner and couldn’t be more happy.

I went in to have my tattoo fixed by Rocky and unfortunately the outcome was not good. I explained everything I wanted and she decided to make her own creation out of my tattoo. She ruined my tattoo and I was devastated. She did nothing I wanted and make it WORSE. She was extremely rude when I stopped her when I realized she was doing something completely different. She stated that it’s too late to stop and it’s my fault. The owner made it right and let me come back and have someone else try and fix her mistakes. He did the best he could. I appreciated the owner doing this. I would definitely not recommend Rocky for your next tattoo.

I absolutely love my tattoo! Dave did an amazing job . scheduling my appointment was so easy , i did it via Instagram & they have been so helpful answering all my questions! Will definitely be back!

Great shop, great experience, clean friendly environment 👍🏻 this is a great shop.

Went for the Halloween flash promo! Great shop, clean and the vibe was top tier!! Chan did my tatt and I will definitely return again for the next promo!!

I got my tattoo yesterday, it was such an awesome experience. The staff and the owner are all very friendly and professional. Everything is sterile and clean. I highly recommend this establishment and hope to get more work by them in the future

Best shop i have ever been too they do amazing work so friendly and accommodating. just over no other shop compares!

Awesome service, nice atmosphere and friendly artists. Happy Friday the 13 to captain tattoo... Also a big shout out to Stephen and his light hand good work my friend....

Love everyone there, excellent work all around! Husband and I both got work done by Caleb and cant wait to get more! I always send all my friends here now when their looking to get some fresh ink

Literally I never write reviews but this place was wayyy too good. The staff was all super experienced, the pricing was fantastic, and it was a great atmosphere, the best tattoo shop in so-cal no cap

Called to see if they have walk in for piercings and Johnny had no idea about any of the questions I had and I came in 2 min later and to tell me we are not doing piercings anymore today and just had no costumer service what so ever. So sad was looking forward to coming to this shop. Did not feel welcomed at all. 😩

Spike is the man! Professional through and through. Easy to schedule, very communicative, and a fantastic artist. Highly recommend if you’re looking in the Temecula area.

Captain Tattoo is awesome! Its filled with great tattoo artist who are friendly, helpful, and professional. I highly recommend you check them out if youre considering a tattoo. Kevin Becvar especially!!

Great, comfortable, friendly shop.Spike was awesome!! I was nervous and he put me at ease. funny smart talented artist. hia art is exemplary. thank you soooo much Spike. def coming back. 👍😉✌❤ donna

I just got my nose pierced by Chops, she was amazing and so sweet. Very clean and welcoming environment. Definitely recommend!

Very clean well kept shop and those guys know their stuff when it comes to their artwork, on and off the skin. Really great dudes that I would highly recommend if you are looking to get a tattoo.

Shop minimum is $80. I rolled up around 8pm on a Thursday and was tattooed right away as a walk in. Wesley was fun to talk to and I love my tattoo so far!

Stephen is an amazing anime tattoo artist. He can put your vision together into a tattoo that will be sure to impress for years to come.

Chan is the best. She does terrific work and makes you want to come back. I definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Cool people I don’t do tattoos but was a birthday present for someone. Friendly people especially to Someone who isn’t into the whole thing. Art work was also very well done.

Been there a few times and always go to Stephen Hecker. Love his watercolor technique. Clean, amd friendly environment.

Ive known Stephen Hecker since high school and his art work is amazing I highly recommend going here awesome environment, super friendly, and fast work.

Great spot, friendly people, awesome artists. Went in on a walk in, couldnt be happier with the quality, and mannerisms of the staff. Highly recommend.
