“Literally my fav shop ever. Been coming here for 5+ years. I've always gone to Agustin & Kapuru. They all so friendly here and great vibes. My tattoos always come out looking clean asf“
“I’ve been following Johnny’s instagram (@johnnyxlit) for quite some time and I really wanted to get a piece done by him and today was finally the day! He was so kind throughout the entire process, from booking the appointment, to creating the design and eventually tattooing it. He is also very accommodating, I had gotten sick last week and was not feeling too well a couple days before the appointment. When rescheduling the appointment, he made sure we were able to find a day that suited both our schedules. During the tattooing process, he was light handed, gentle and super caring. I had an incredible time talking to him and the two other artists who were there! 10/10 highly recommend visiting the studio and getting tattooed by Johnny. I’ll definitely be coming back for other pieces :)“
“Third time getting tatted here and the atmosphere is great. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and the shop is so clean. Special thanks to Alex for handling me with care. Will definitely be coming back.“
“I got most of all my tattoos here from Mochi Resch. She's amazing and it is always a great time when I come in. @rocococritter is her Instagram. Hit her up.“
“I have been looking for a place to pierce my 5 month old ears. Fullerton Tattoo & piercing is the place to do it at. The service is top grade, the equipment is sterilized, & they do their best to make it as painless as possible. My older daughter (6 years now) got it done at Don Roberto Jewelry. The gun locked up & the earrings hole shifted, so it's hard to change out earrings on her. The earing on one side is lower than the other. I didn't want to chance it again, so I was so happy I decided to search around. RG took the time to explain everything for me. Inform me that it is better to allow their ears to develop, but it's a cultural thing for me, and their was no judgment on his part. I wrote this review to thank him. I understand most piercing places prefer not to do this service but if they would just see that the alternative is usually jewelry stores with unexperienced people behind a push gun. I really hope more come to RG who can provide a cleaner & higher quality service.“
“Alex is Awesome!?
Stylist: Alex is very talented artist. I have a lot of tattoos and many have been done by very talented artists that have moved away. I found Alex and I’m happy I did! He’s very talented and I trust his opinion and skills. ??“
“I have had the pleasure of getting multiple piercings and a tattoo from America, and I can confidently say that she is incredibly skilled and makes the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable.
When it comes to piercings, I've had issues with bumps at other places, but with her, I never experienced that. She pays attention to detail and ensures that the piercing process is as smooth as possible, leaving you with beautiful piercings without any complications.
Regarding tattoos, I was particularly impressed with how she handled my Betty Boop tattoo. Her technique resulted in smooth lines, unlike my previous experiences where I ended up with harsh lines. She takes the time to understand what you want and communicates effectively throughout the process, ensuring that you're comfortable and satisfied with the final result.
One of the standout qualities is her pricing. She offers fair and ideal prices for her services, making them accessible to everyone without compromising on quality. Additionally, her friendly and communicative approach creates a welcoming atmosphere, making each visit a pleasant one.
Overall, I highly recommend her for both piercings and tattoos. Her expertise, attention to detail, fair pricing, and excellent communication make her a standout in her field.“
“Pierre was AMAZING!! He did a beautiful job on my scripture tattoo. I wanted it under my breast, next to my heart. He was very sensitive to embarrassment, kind, and very gentle. He took time to make sure the font, curvature, and placing was perfect. The end result is truly a work of art. I cannot recommend Pierre more highly!“
“Wonderful service and they took me in right away and they were very careful in gentle“
“Friendly and knowledgeable. Explained the process and benefits of my new ear piercings. Didn’t feel much discomfort, can’t wait to go back for more piercings.“
“Wanted to pay for a tattoo for my man for his birthday so I called this tattoo shop because a friend recommended it. Arni answered the phone I asked if they accepted walk ins and he said yes. I then told him that we wanted old english letters with shading, I arrived 15 minutes after I called and he had already started sketching out the name he Gave us a very reasonable price so we agreed. I waited for him to sketch it out and do the placement and I left because it was going to take hours.. 7 hours later I came to pick him up. When I saw it I loved it, he brought a vision to life. Even after hours of tattooing and it being 1am his arm continued to be very still and precise, very impressive ? I thought he could be a surgeon lol. Will be coming back for one myself and to do my other daughters name for my man. Highly recommend, you won't regret it. Be sure to ask for Arni!
Stylist: Arni“
“This is my personal favorite tattoo shop in Downey. I walked in and met with Bennett Loc who took care of the design I wanted and even came up with a better design than I originally planned. His style of tattooing is phenomenal with an incredible attention to detail. Out of all my tattoos I can say the one he did for me is the best and my favorite. Bennett has great follow up with his customers after getting the tattoo and even offers really great advice on how to take care of it as it's healing and how to take care of it after it's all healed. I appreciate the work Bennett did a lot. He kept his station really organized and maintained properly which was really awesome. The shop overall has great vibes and is a great place to get tattooed.“
“Absolutely amazing work! Nyla is a great artist and is always listening to little changes you want to make in your artwork, you can tell she is passionate about what she does and will take care of you! Check out her instagram @sntnanyla.ink I will definitely be coming back to finish up my sleeve with her.“
“Requested style: Pin up

Cleanliness: Extremely clean
Stylist: JJ was artist 2nd tattoo with him. Both were custom and done exactly the way I wanted. I scheduled my appointment before I got to CA and when I showed up JJ was ready and very polite. Great dude to work with“
“I got my second lobe piercings on Sunday, 07/21/24, with Alf (the owner), who was fantastic and patient. I was visiting in from the east coast and was looking for a good tattoo and piercing shop and I stumbled upon Alf's awesome shop in a really nice area of Long Beach near the beaches . He thoroughly explained the piercing process and answered all my questions. They use surgical steel and a longer bar in case of swelling
When proceeding with the piercing, Alf took great care of each one, taking time to make sure the location was good (checking with me to see if it was good). He also took his time to do the piercing with care and to clean it up, putting on ointment, etc. After the piercing, I was given instructions on how to clean it and do aftercare.
I highly recommend Alf's for your piercing needs. He'll take good care of you. (Also if his shop has really cool designs, especially gaming and anime ones if you are looking for some new ink). Super friendly and everyone in the shop was super friendly as well .
Cleanliness: Location is on a second level of a building with restaurants and other stores. Stairway leading up to shop is very clean. The small shop space is very organized and clean. The booth I got my piercings in was very clean as well. Alf used gloves and sterilize materials ( he'll show you him opening the piercing needle packaging to confirm it's new and sterilized).“
“Amazing shop! I walked in and got a belly button piercing today, it took literally 5 mins and it’s so cute! Josh made me feel super comfortable and told how to use all the aftercare. Highly Recommend!
Cleanliness: very clean“
“I come here anytime I need amazing quality tattoos for a fair enough price compared to so many of their rivals. I went in yesterday for Friday the 13th and you were immediately greeted at the door. I got 3 tattoos and came out genuinely perfect thanks to the amazing @tattoomike17 and even got to check out his work. Gotta check em out if you're debating and looking for the best tattoo shop possible. Have been a loyal costumer since 2019 and can't seem to stop coming back“
“Si'i Liufau Thank You for my Tualima ( hand Malu) its such a special Tattoo and to have it done the traditional Samoan way means even that much MORE!! It was an AMAZING EXPERIENCE and I'm honored that you did it for me! And your right here in my hometown of Garden Grove!!!
After my Tualima was finished my husband & had a chance to get a Lil more ink! STAR & JANET we love our ink & we WILL BE BACK for more!! THANK YOU AGAIN....
Si'i, Tawyne, Star, Janet & Chavo
We had a blast with you all!! Your an amazing Tattoo Family!! Much Alofaz!“
“Request Chau, or check out their work @spontaxtattoo! My family has all gotten our tattoos from her, and they’re giving shading and details in their pieces to recreate the art in its fully integrity. Coming back for another one later before the secret’s out that we have a possessed (in a good way) artist who owns their artistic craft. Also, she has great table manners that ensures you’re comfortable and aware of the limitations of your request if applicable.“
“My sister and I were getting our first tattoos for Friday the 13th. Every tattoo place we went to either had an incredibly long wait time or crummy tattoos to choose from. We came here and was surprised about the short wait time which was about an hour and a half and they had so many cute options that it was hard to choose from! They also had no restrictions about where to place your tattoo as long as it wasn't the genital area (totally understandable!). It was $10 more than the other places but it was definitely worth the extra $10. I was tattooed by Mark and my sister was tattooed by another gentleman and both did an amazing job! The facility was clean they had a movie playing and candy to eat. Let's not forget to mention how friendly all the staff were from the front desk to the tattoo artists. I will definitely be back and 100% recommend to anyone!“
“I highly recommend Sleepy Lagoon Tattoo! The shop has cool vibe and is very clean. My husband and I both had work done by AJ. He is easy to communicate with and does amazing work! Will definitely be back to get more work done by him in the future.“
“10/10 experience. My artist Bryan was so friendly, patient, gentle, and detail oriented. He kept making sure I was comfortable too. AND he was happy to take me as a walk in late in the evening. 100% will be coming back.“
“Got my first pacemaker tattoo! Great shop, great prices, and friendly staff. Alex was awesome! Would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for a tattoo or piercing.
Requested style: I requested this tattoo as an alert to my pacemaker
Cleanliness: Shop was very clean.
Stylist: Alex did a great job! Very professional and great attitude.“
“I got a shoulder tattoo here from Zel, and I am so happy with the results! A while ago, I had paid for the shop to research tattoo designs based on myself and my family’s history and ethnic background in the Philippines. I came in, and Zel showed me the motifs that they had identified as appropriate for me. I pointed to the ones that I wanted incorporated into my tattoo, and we got started. I got about a quarter of my arm tattooed, and it looks great! Took about four hours. Highly recommended!“
