“Handmade Tattoo is the best! I will only get tattooed here. Pops did my olive branch tattoo about 2 years ago and recently did some dainty little ladies on my husband. They both turned out perfect. The employees here are serious about their cleanliness, which I really appreciate and find very professional. He's super experienced and never disappoints! They are thorough with aftercare and prices are very reasonable/worth it. The inside of the shop is crazy cool, decorated with unique thrift store finds, antiques, and flea market goodies. I can't recommend this place enough. Their talent, authenticity, and professionalism really do make it Santa Paula's first and finest!“
“Was referred by a friend of mine and my sister. Have had 3 appointments in the last 3 months, working on a sleeve. My artist is Jeremiah, great kid, excellent at both tattooing and graphic design. He's great at assessing what will look good in your head and what will look good on your body, plus just a great dude in general, easily accessible. The other people there are awesome as well, always asking each other for advice and chatting up their clients. Place is clean and very sanitary, and the prices are extremely reasonable. Cant recommend enough!“
“I have gotten tattooed here 2 times now. The first was Friday the 13th it was a great experience. Dave did my very first tattoo that day, it was a small one but I love it. I received a larger tattoo today from Esteban, super nice. I sent him a few pictures of what I wanted and he sketched out what I had in mind. He did a great job and making it as painless as possible and keeping me comfortable. Whenever I tensed up he asked me if I was okay, and gave me meditation tips to make me more comfortable. The shop is clean, well lit, even the bathroom was nice! All of the guys working there are amazing and also super friendly. I will continue coming here!“
“This was a great experience! I'm so happy I was able to find this tattoo studio by searching Yelp for great tattoo artist. I came across The Kollective Studio. They responded to my inquiry within 30 minutes or less. My daughter and I received the best customer service and top tier tattoos. I haven't gotten a tattoo in so long. I forgot how it can be very painful. Phillip gave me breaks so that I can stretch. He also informed me that I can use numbing cream prior to my appointments so it's not too painful. Parking - there's plenty of street parking. The studio is very clean. Everything looked sanitized and well maintained. They even have Girl Scout cookies for sale lol! This is only the beginning for my tattoo journey lol!! Phillip and his wife are both so nice. The other tattoo artist in the studio are all great tattoo artist also. Taking that drive to the kollective was well worth it. *the tattoo still has the protective clear wrapping on in the photo. I will be back for more pictures once it heals.“
