He listened and created a really beautiful (and sentimental) tat. He was very professional, funny, and listened to me go on and on about my past. The tat looks better than expected, even though it's very personal, it will be fun to show off. I recommend Justin, he was fast, creative, and talented.

Still the best. I went last month to get my navel done, but alas, my navel was deemed un-do-able…read more I really appreciate the fact that Karissa and her crew are professional enough to give you an honest answer about your anatomy, rather than lie about it to take your money even if they know it will not work. This is why you should ALWAYS go to licensed and APP professionals. So we talked over the rest of my list of wants, and came down to the last one I had a good anatomy for. So I ended up getting my septum done!! I was not super prepared (pro-tip, trim the nose hairs before you do this one or your pics of it freshly done will be scary) and I hadn't really thought about jewelry options for it. Karissa took her time with me and helped me pick out a pretty little captured bead that I was pretty sure I could live with while it healed. (I have the jewelry attention span of a ...oh looook a shiny new piece of jewelry....) As always, she was professional and explained the steps to me, and warned me what to expect during the first few weeks of healing. I am very happy with it, it's healing nicely, and I cannot wait to go, in September, and have the captured bead ring switched out for something else, once it's all the way healed. Thank you for another successful hole in my head, Karrisa!

Let me start out by saying when I went in November to get pierced it was such an easy and nice…read moreexperience. The location odds clean, the team was kind, and the process was efficient. But as I wrote this 7 months out, I have to say I am incredibly disappointed by the jewelry. I was told the jewelry was high quality, and if it breaks I just need to bring it in to get fixed. The problem is, what happens when it breaks and I don't have it? I got 4 ear piercings in November and as of today, 3 of those 4 have fallen out and gotten lost. The first was in February, the second in May and the third one today. And these aren't cheap earrings. I spent nearly $1,500 for these and to have them disappear after normal wear is incredibly disheartening. Would I go back, I don't know. Maybe. But I have to believe there is a place with just as nice people and less expensive jewelry that doesn't just fall out of the ear during the healing process.

Whether you're his brother, another artist, piercing expert or customer - everyone is treated as family. Shannon is always open to talking about whatever you want, while offering to put on your favorite show, movie or Netflix series. It is a long wait to get in to see him. He posts a calendar twice a year and always fills up in under 10 minutes. Well worth his work. Not just an ordinary tattoo here. You'll get quality art

The female receptionist was very kind, informative and I enjoyed her company very much. However, I did not appreciate the way the piercer interacted with my boyfriend and I.

Due to this negative interaction I will be taking my business elsewhere.

Did additional double lobe piercings with her. Very nice & friendly as well.

Will be getting piercing #5 in a month after my current ones heal more! This place has a unique awesome vibe to it with cool music always playing. I like going there early to sit & chill there. I highly recommend coming here for your all your piercing needs! The Golden Poppy by Josh & Angel, a great husband/wife team, is the piercing biz inside The Dogfather Tattoo. While waiting, I see tatoo artists seated working on their drawings. From what I see, come here for tattoos too!

I reached out to dozens of artists and even contacted their testimonials .....yes, I went that far lol - Long story short, my final choice was RICH IN FLESH in Livermore and it was a blessing to find Carlos.

Very responsive - He took the time to reply to my messages and was very consistent 2. Fair pricing - 3. Listened to my ideas and presented his honest feedback. This was a huge decision for me.
