I went in with my own artwork, however I had asked the Tattoo ARTIST to help me make it a little more wispy or softer if you will. I had made the appointment weeks in advance and remained in contact sending several pictures and ides trying to make it perfect. All I ever received back was "rad". I was apprehensive about going in, however my husband and I participated in the Toys for Tots special they ran and I had 2 gift certificates about to expire. I decided to just go ahead with the tattoo. Worst mistake of my life! The artist sat me in a metal folding chair, proceeded to inform me about how mad he was about a previous customer complaining about the cost of their tattoo and how he is the only one who ever does anything at that shop. I tried to make small talk, I asked him what his favorite things are to draw/tattoo and in the middle of mine he declares he does not like doing superhero stuff.... Being that my tattoo was superhero related, that would have been good to know from the start. By the time he was done, there was blood running down my arm and it continued to bleed until the next day. I have never bled from any tattoo. When it was all said and done, the artist missed several spots, messed up the pattern and did not even use the right colors! He changed my tattoo alright but not for the better. It was terrible. I was in complete shock. A month and a half later I went to another artist and was able to repair the damage. He said I have a lot of scar tissue because the other guy dug into my skin. Do not go to Red Wave. If you do, do not get Will as your artist. You will regret it. There are far more better places in Fresno.

Its a production shop and Rico does production work; if he wasnt a production shop he would work by himself and the other artist they have working there are even worse. They dont take the time to fill in thier art properly because they are tired from working all day or they have customers ahead of you. I recommend any one to go to a shop that the artist doesnt over book themselves and takes their time to work on you instead of being in a rush. The art that you want on your body should look like the art they draw on paper or canvas. Also look at the details of how straight the lines are and the filling in with color which youll see how choppy the lines are and the filling of the coloring is the same . I regret getting any art from that place and recommend any to go outside of Fresno or to someone that takes pride in their Art.

I visited this shop to have some work of mine looked at and re-done. I was very pleased at how willing the artist was to help me. He not only aswered all of my questions but he also gave me visuals of what he would do to help me. The shop looked very nice and I feel very confident in returning to this shop to have my work done. I also recommend anyone to try this shop first before going anywhere else because I visited 7 different places and this one was the only place I feel right coming back to.

The staff seemed friendly and the place was clean. However, piercings here are a scam. The piercer obviously works off commission. Would not recommend.
