    Terrible service. I came in to talk about a piece, and mind you, I'm NOT new to tattoos. I wanted to talk about a thigh piece, but got super pressured into booking something else. The guy - Matt - seemed cool and said he'd handle everything for my sleeve and even acknowledged he might not be the best for what I wanted on my thigh. Cool, right? In good faith, I gave him the first hour of tattoo - not just the required $60 deposit. (even though other people and other artists have done MUCH larger pieces for less than $200 and in color, in the same shop, and he was definitely over charging). I now have to move back to CA to be with my family for my father's passing. While my LANDLORD agreed to let me break my lease SIX MONTHS EARLY, and despite their forms saying the $60 deposit is not refundable, he refused to release the remaining payment. I dont trust artists that are so hard up on money, he never even sketched anything, zero of his time was taken -- huge mistake taking a risk on this place. terrible person.

    You'd think a small literal quarter sized symbol tattoo would go seamlessly quick & easy but I'll start on the worst being that they blasted my skin and I didn't even make it home before the small tape started leaking the sack of blood from the back of my neck. After healing, you can noticeably feel the raised scar over the whole tattoo, keep in mind... this is a tiny quarter sized symbol. The tattoo itself looks nothing remotely like the stencil (I stayed calm and steady throughout the scraping pain) you can tell the artist messed up in areas where the lines got thicker than they should be. Placement took forever for the middle of the back neck area. I'm also trying to find reason behind the poor customer service but the shop was pretty dead to begin with and I honestly would've rather appreciated refusal of service.

    I was recommended to come here by a friend of mine who had an excellent tattoo by Ping so I did what any good person would do and used my sisters as guinea pigs. Both of my sister's loved their tattoos, one by Ping and one by Katy, and the art was amazing. I was so impressed that I scheduled my appointment shortly after. Ping was professional and worked on my art, a custom piece, to make it look exactly how I wanted. I was on the table about 2 hours and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. I will be returning here in the future.

    Did a walk-in for silly matching tattoos. Henry was super nice and chill to talk to. Shop is clean, nice atmosphere. The flashes were from a different artist & not typically Henry's style (he was still super chill about them, didn't judge, and paid attention to detail). I'd go back to him for traditional work for sure.

    Ping was amazing, she was able to do two beautiful tattoos in one session. She also made adjustments on the fly for my back tattoo which I really appreciated. She was very careful about placement and had a light touch. Tattoos are painful but it really wasnโ€™t as bad as I thought it would be. Highly recommend, iโ€™de definitely get another tattoo at this shop.

    My girlfriend and I walked in one afternoon on a whim and were immediately greeted by Henry (the shop owner) and Nick (his apprentice). We told them we were there to browse their flash tattoos for ideas and WOW did they have tons of great ones to choose from. Their walls are plastered with flash. My girlfriend decided to get a cat tattoo from a visiting tattoo artist and I decided to get a reaper from Henry. They were super friendly to us the entire time and we never felt pressured by them. Just genuinely nice people. I chose a reaper flash idea that I liked and Henry changed it up a little bit to our liking. Henry was really great at making sure the tattoo was just right, placed correctly, correctly sized, and did a diligent job with the tattoo.

    Amazing trip to Idolize Tattoo for a bday tat! I initially inquired via google to get a quote for a tattoo, and the owner George was quick to respond. Shortly after I walked in to see if I could get my work done and they were able to make room for me. Best part is once I got in my quoted price was reduce after finalizing the design and placement. My artist Steve was amazing, working both swiftly and precisely to give me the perfect tattoo. Great experience overall Check them out!

    My friend and I came in for walk in appointments and were able to get booked with Henry. He did a great job on both of us, was hella funny and fun and made sure we were truly satisfied. Would definitely come back again!

    Disappointed. Lines are extremely uneven. Deep, raised scars. Artist gouged very deep. Design was a simple, solid black airplane. My daughter and I both got the same tattoo and they look very different. Will need to be covered up.

    I got really lucky today because Ping was available! Itโ€™s hard to find artists that do fine line tattoos like her so I was excited to know that she was nearby and available. I showed her the style of tattoo I wanted on my forearm and she drew one up for me which I ended up loving. Sheโ€™s very detailed in her work too. Thank you Ping! Iโ€™ll be back! :)

    Walked-in with a tattoo idea of my own and they were more than willing to make it happen. They treated me with the utmost respect, and my tattoo looks amazing! No doubt in my mind that Iโ€™ll be back for another one soon.

    Very rude. They treated me like i was a hassle to them. Very unprofessional. Charged me 150 for a tattoo that took 15 minutes. As someone with multiple tattoos i dont feel.like the staff criticizing my choices is something they are permitted to do and the tattoo came out really spotty and uneven.DO NOT RECOMMEND

    Went for my first ever Friday the 13th flash sale and the atmosphere was great, the guys were great and the owner is definitely a good time to be around! Great work and amazing line detail. Definitely coming back for my next one.

    Went in a bit ago for my first tattoo ever. While small and simple, the work was quick, perfect, and professional. Took a lot of the stress out of a totally new experience. Absolutely returning.

    Nicholas did a Great job on our Couples Tattoo. He also did a Fantastic job on my husband's tattoo of his Badge from service.

    Awesome experience! First come first serve, we got there early and my daughter and I got in with Nicholas and another dude. Clean, friendly and highly recommend. 2 thumbs up

    Tattoo artist did a really good job. The downside is that the after care instructions weren't entirely accurate. Good place to go for tattoos, but get your after care instructions elsewhere.

  • 5/5 Lesli L. 1 year ago on Google
    My first tattoo! Nicolas was kind, patient, and quick. He listened to what I wanted and did a wonderful job. Almost painless! Thank you, Nicolas and thank you, Idolize Tattoo!

    Came as a walk in and Henry did so good! I wasnโ€™t sure what I wanted and he helped me decide. I was nervous but he made me comfortable! He created a great tattoo.

    My fiancรฉe and I got matching tattoos from Nicholas and we are very happy with them. Nicholas was very nice and made sure we were happy with placement and size. It was a great experience and we would go back again.

  • 5/5 Charles W. 6 months ago on Google
    great spot, wonderful vibe, looking forward to another visit! Henry was really friendly and eager to bounce ideas around for designs and placements, and a blast to hang with while he did a piece of flash from their huge selection for me.
