Brian communicated well with me and i was able to get an appointment. He was very nice and understanding when i mentioned that i was a bit nervous. He told me when to breathe in and breathe out, and i am sure this was the reason why the piercing did not hurt. I give the pain a five out of 10 and it hurt less than my second lobe piercing. I payed $60 in total which included my change to a gold bar. i went back after the swelling went down and Brian changed my bar to a shorter one. Amazing customer service and I 100% recommend this place. I will definitely be coming back in the future.

First of all I totally agree with the review left by Julia R. on 4-4-25 because that was our…read moreexperience pretty much. Here's my review You Get What You Pay For... But Sometimes You Don't I don't usually post reviews, but after my recent tattoo experience, I wanted to share a few lessons I learned. Looking back, there were several warning signs I should have paid more attention to: unclear pricing, questions about deposits, limited availability for follow-up consultations, and concerns about the healing process and final appearance of the tattoo. My biggest takeaway is simple: trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, ask questions, slow the process down, or walk away. A lost deposit is far less costly than being unhappy with a permanent tattoo. There are many talented artists in our community. Take the time to research their work, meet with them, discuss your expectations, and make sure you're comfortable before committing. Don't settle for the first available appointment or the easiest option. Find an artist whose work, communication, and professionalism give you complete confidence. Personally, I have chosen to have my tattoo reworked by another artist who came highly recommended. The difference in consultation, communication, and overall experience has confirmed that finding the right artist is worth the extra time and effort. A tattoo is forever. Choose the artist you would trust without hesitation, and don't move forward until you're certain you've found the right fit.

Noah is sole proprietor and the best tattoo artist I have ever been to. I contacted him back in June to get a half sleeve done. We talked on the phone and then I emailed him some photos. Last minute I decided to add some text which was no problem. It took 3 sessions to get it done, but well worth it!! The shop is clean and comfortable. When you're there it's just you and Noah. I personally like not having a bunch of other people there while I'm getting work done. He has a cooler of water, juice and snacks too. The photos speak for themselves. I had the heart before- the rest is his work. We are really blessed to have such a great tattoo shop right in Monterey. Note he does not take walk ins, by appointment only.

Price-wise, it's okay, and as for proper tattoo care/aftercare, it was kinda just meh. They didn't tell me anything about proper aftercare or healing, they just kinda let me pay then leave.
