I originally located PCT on Yelp!...took my time to look at all the artists styles and artwork that was posted there, I also crept on the ones that had IG. I ended up with Buzzy Jenkins...quite possibly the chillest dude I have ever met. I had a tattoo that I got when I was about 17...and at 26 I realized that it had to go. I reached out to Buzzy and stopped by a few days before my appointment so that he could check out the job. A few days later I came in and was just blown away by what he had come up with...my old tattoo is now non-existent. Buzzy is the go-to man with a knack for art. It seemed that every time I asked him about the art on the wall, it was his...just a sick sense of style and a creative mind...If you are looking for your first tattoo or your 100th, this place is comfortable, clean, and welcoming. I cant wait to go back again.! SF

After wanting a tattoo from Marc Nava for years now, I finally got the chance to go to Costa Mesa from New Mexico to become a collector of one of his pieces. I couldnt be more happy with the work he did, he was so nice and humble, he executed the design with not much direction from me. I just wanted him to do something he would enjoy doing because I trust his artistic skills and as I expected.... He drew out absolute perfection! Tattooed it to perfection as well! I LOVE my tattoo and I get so many compliments. He was so comforting while I was in pain and helped me get through it till the end (Im a wimp)...... Thank you Marc and Port City for giving me the best tattoo & service. I give him and this shop a review of 20 stars! Cant wait to go back!

I had taken notice of this shop a few times and the great work they do. I am from Utah, and was in town for work. I had a few free hours and wanted some work done. I was a walk in and wanted a really large piece. They were so kind to me, so accommodating. Marc squeezed me into his schedule for a 4 hour sitting that day. These people are the best of the best, and they couldnt be more humble and kind in the process. The shop is super clean and bright. The atmosphere is fun and light, but they are dead serious about doing fantastic work. I couldnt be happier with my new ink! Thank you so much Marc and team!! You killed it. I will be back!!

Called out of the blue with no appointment and was able to get right in. I decided to go here due to the high ranking reviews on Google. Very glad I did. My artist was Frankie Caraccioli. He did an awesome job on my sugar skull. Super clean and very detailed. The artist next to me was also doing a sugar skull for another client. That tattoo turned out equally great. I feel like you can get a great tattoo from every artist in this shop. The shop itself is very clean with an old school vibe. Very pleased with the overall experience. I will definitely return for my next tattoo.

Decided to get a tattoo spontaneously between classes. They open at 11am vs the usual noon opening time so that was super convenient. I called and asked if they did walk ins and they said it was first come first serve. So I headed over and immediately got helped. Everyone was very professional, polite, and kind. Clean shop and a really great vibe. I got tattooed by Stacey and she was great! Did an awesome job. I am very pleased with my tattoo and how I was treated there. Cant wait to go back!!

I spent a couple of years following different shops and artists on Instagram. Making sure that I was seeing consistent art coming from the same person and the same parlor. Port City and Marc Nava turned out to be a perfect fit. The shop is very open, everything is clearly visible and immaculate. Just very clean, organized and professional. My wife and I had a great time talking to everyone and getting a great piece of art done. Thanks to Marc and everyone at Port City.

I was in town for work last weekend, decided to get a tattoo out there. I looked up shops and Port City seemed top notch. Went in on a Saturday with no appointment, guys fit me in later that day. Buzzy tattooed me and did a great job. Everyone was very professional and shop was super clean and comfortable. They stayed late to finish mine and a few other tattoos up. Great group of artists would definitely go back if ever in town.

Walked in to schedule appointment; first time in a tattoo parlor and was surprised by the clean and neat atmosphere. They were very friendly and talented. They took my rough design and made it more beautiful and detailed than I expected. It took about 4 hours and they were patient with me since it was my first time. Pricier than most of the other tattoo parlors I researched but definitely worth it.

I started getting tattooed by the guys at the long beach location and now they have opened a new location in Costa Mesa not too far from the 405 freeway which is awesome for anyone looking to travel to this shop to get tattooed. They have a full staff of experienced tattooers and come highly recommended. Anyone looking to get a tattoo in Costa Mesa should definitely check out this shop!!

These guys are skilled tattoo artists, not your average run of the mill place. So if your worried about doing it or not sure if you want to, I would advise using Port City. Theyve been around for a while and they do any awesome job. Great people too! Talk to them, ask them questions, theyll do whatever you need and make it look great

My best friend and I came to Port City wanting to get our first tattoo together, and I am so pleased that we did because Buzzy Jenkins was so cooperative. I started to not feel well due to the excitement and Buzzy made me feel very comfortable. We both love the outcome of our tattoos and are already planning our next visit!!!! :)

Last week I got my tattoo done by Vinh. He was a great help in realising what I had in my mind and I am perfectly happy with the result. The tattoo is great work both artistically and technically. Thanks again for this great work that will remind me for the rest of my life.

This was my first tattoo and I couldnt have asked for a better experience! My friends and I had been talking about getting them done and we finally found Port City Tattoo. The place was very clean, they were very professional and offered some great advice for a first timer!

My first and second tattoos I got here. First tattoo, didnt know any better really. Just settled because of the excitement of getting a tattoo. After getting my third one at OL Tattoo, I realize the lack of artistic input and effort to really be personal to the customer.

Came to get a small tattoo with my sister and they fit us in as walk ins. The guys are great there-- really friendly, funny and made me feel more calm about it! Really enjoyed my first tattoo experience here. Tattoo turned out exactly how we wanted it!!
