Ok, let me start by saying that I am not in anyway related or know anybody from calaveras. I actually didnt want to go to this shop b/c of all the drama written on this page. My friend wanted to check this place out and look at their books and stuff so we went it. I have to admit, it was like no other tattoo place i have ever been to. They were all really really friendly and within minutes i felt like family. We were there for quite a while and the whole time we were joking and having a blast. Yes, they have a pool table, as well as some comfy couches, tv and some arcade games. If you think about it, waiting for a friend to get inked is incredibly boring. At least this place decided to do something about it. Very resonable prices and Mike did all of our work. Yes, we were there for a long time, but do you really think that a great tat is gonna happen in twenty minutes? Im taking my husband back to get our kids names done. Fantastic place with great atmosphere. You dont have to be inked all over your body with a million piercings and funky colored hair to feel like family at this place. I will definetly be back!

My bridge and my husbands tongue were pierced at an angle with extremely poor quality, externally threaded jewelry. The combination of these things caused my bridge to begin to reject, causing one hell of a scar that I may not be able to repierce ever. Its a really shame that the closest reputable piercer is in Austin. Maybe if they began carrying high quality like anatometal and neometal , and updated theyre piercings practices I would consider another visit. Piercer was unable to recognise signs of rejection and thats worrisome. Place needs a lot of work

Me and my friend went in so she could get her tattoo done on Monday. The atmosphere is awesome and the artist Mike that did her tattoo was great!!! He did excellent work!!! Im going back in on the 25th to get my tattoo done:) Update: went in and saw Mike for that tattoo! This is how it looks years after being done! Ive had no fading, and it has not become disfigured due to the enlargement of my breasts. This piece means the world to me because it is a memorial to someone that held my heart and passed away defending our country.

Got ripped off $1600 by Roman Luna, paid in full In about 3 visits to get the money out of the way as well as help with their money shortage at the time, but soon after that he no longer had time to make appointments or cared to answer phone calls or return them for that matter,waited in shop for about 2 hrs and got a no show, the other owner Jesus didnt help either, said that it was between me and the artist, great way to run a business and make a name for yourself as well as treating the military community with integrity.

I got my tattoo by Carlos and it is AMAZING he covered my "easter egg" OM tattoo with a beautiful Buddha and Lotus flower beautiful detail and just wow he was super nice (even when i wasnt) will def only go to Carlos and you should too!!!! oh did i mention he prices like wow also.....i have also never been to a tattoo studio where i felt like my son (whos 5) was welcomed they have a pool table to entertain while you wait and a nice seating area as well. THE BEST PLACE IN TOWN with THE BEST ARTISTS

Amazing shop. Clean Friendly Awesome! The piercers nick and gumby are sweethearts, willing to point you to the right artist! Mike was amazing! The long haired small gent next to his area was friendly as well! Carlos did my friends tattoo as well. If I could marry Carlos, Mike and the long haired fella (didnt catch his name) at the same time I would! The shop has both a foose ball table and a pool table FOR FREE! Makes time go quicker. As well as movies playijg makes tattoo by quick!! 100 stars!!

VERY GOOD JOB. i brought in a picture and they followed it exactly, i had a very good artist and they got it done quickly and with great quality. the atmosphere was extremely comfortable and the staff were welcoming and enjoyable to talk to. the overall service was fantastic. i got the tattoo done today and iv already recommended 4 people. the price was very affordable and about 200 less than other less comfortable studios were asking. i will definitely keep going there for the rest of my tattoos.

This weekend I received a tattoo by Gill. Awesome guy. very knowledgeable, personable and his attention to detail is absolutely impeccable. I showed him a picture of a tattoo style that I liked and he completely recreated it to make a custom piece. His price was fair and reasonable for the amount of detail and time my tattoo took. He was very patient and took time to explain everything he did. I am extremely satisfied with my ankle/foot piece and would recommend him to anybody!

Gil made my experience a great one!!! My first time ever going to an actual tattoo shop I wanted the best of the best and thats exactly what I received. Told him what I wanted and how much this chest half sleeve meant to me and he made it exactly that way!!!!!!! He is my recommendation to anyone who wants the best!

I went in this weekend and wanted to get a tattoo, however i didnt end up getting it cause they were so "busy", even though there lots of artist open. they were kind of rude, and lazy. Oh well, they missed out cause i got my tatt done somewhere else along with 4 of my friends. They missed out because of laziness.

Carlos drew and tattooed all I wanted and more, he is truly a fabulous artist. I was really nervous about how big my side piece was, but he talked me through everything and made me feel comfortable. I get so many compliments and I love the finished work. I would recommend him to anyone!

My husband and I both have been tattooed here on two separate occasions and both times it was a good clean atmosphere. Great art-work for a great price.
