    Cesar is awesome everything was quick and painless! A true professional at his craft and I will be back for a tattoo! The vibes are on point incredible music. Love the atmosphere and everything is very clean. The advice I was given was very detailed and I learned a lot about aftercare.

    Jesse did an amazing job piercing my nose and was such a cool friendly guy to my sister and I. He knew I was a bit nervous but he helped me through it and pierced my nose in a split second. It was just a great experience, I absolutely love my nose ring. I definitely recommend this place because of the great price , great service and who doesn't appreciate a clean shop with good music ? I will definitely go again for another piercing and tattoo ! THANK YOU JESSE!

    Traumatized. I came here hoping for a ear tragus piercing and I was worried because my tragus is small but the guy who helped me said that it should be no problem and that he would be able to do it. First time he did it, he pushed my ear and head so hard against the mat and he was struggling to get the needle in and messed up. Then he had the audacity to blame me because "I moved" (I have a video of the whole thing). So I said whatever and he tried to do it again and then messed up again! He tried doing it for the third time and that's when I realized this person is incompetent and I shouldn't be here right now. I would never recommend this place to anybody. I suggest doing your research and find someone with a lot more experience with good reviews.

    Went in yesterday for them to simply re-pierce my left ear. The guy never gave his name in person or over the phone. He answered "tattoo shop" but it was literally just a re-pierced ear so cool. Got there, did the little paper work, got to the chair, picked the earring, said cool. I had also asked about getting small wrist tattoo since they were dead and he told me $120 for "MMXII" about the size of a nickel. I asked him the price for the re-pierce he said $40, I said okay. Then he said "wait, well if you want the other earring (cheap $3-4 earrings) it'll be another $20, so $60 total". When I questioned what he was saying, "$20 extra just for this earring no piercing?" he told me "you could either do it or don't". I almost walked out but instead I thought I'll just skip the tattoo. My whole torso is tattooed, I know the signs of when not to get a tattoo. He pierces my ear and I noticed a lot of blood but it was done already. Next day (today) had my girl look at it and it was still bleeding. He went in the same entry and made new whole lower out the back. All I ask was to re-pierce the same whole that I pierced 17 years ago. I stopped wearing earrings the past year and a half. If he even bothered to look, you can see the thin layer of skin that was blocking the whole. I could've done this bad for free. Been calling them and they won't answered the phone (2:15pm), so here's my review of how I paid $60 for two $5 earrings that I cant wear. At least I skipped the tatt. I'm from Chicago, I now know from locals I shouldn't have went there.

    A bad tattoo by jeff

    Jeff is a horrible tattoo artist dont go there really bad he left my brother a bad piece had to cover it somewhere else

    Thank you to Jesse for taking his time and patient to work on my tattoo. He did an amazing job on my piece. I really loved it.

    This was supposed to be a Lotus

    Update: Madeleine from Big Daddy's Tattoo had the class and professionalism to help improve the outcome of this situation by providing me with a full refund. I wish I could give negative stars. I rarely ever review and when I do, it's usually a for a very positive review. This is a completely different situation. I felt the need to post this so that I can hopefully save anyone from the results that I am left with. I had a faded stick and poke that I wanted tattooed over before our wedding. My fiancé made an appointment for me at Big Daddy Tattoo since they were open and local. My appointment was for 2:30pm. No one was waiting for any services when we got there. We filled out paperwork and took a seat while the "artist," Jesse, prepped. Two women came in for a belly piercing and he went ahead and took them first. Finally by about 3:45pm he took me back to start my tattoo (no sketch or anything done). He pulled out a surgical marker and began to mark up my finger. As a former operating room RN, I know that surgical markers are used to mark incision sites with a permanent ink so that they are still visible after prepping the area. Needless to say the dark blue ink bled and stained the entire area. He tried to scrub of the ink with no resolve. He then went ahead and started the tattoo. I have about 20 tattoos with several finger tattoos. I've been to several tattoo artists (even in Hawai'i), but this tattoo was BY FAR the most painful tattoo I've ever had done. He was literally digging in. When I saw what he had done, I was literally speechless, but in the worst way possible. It was horrible. He said it was a lotus flower but it looked more like a starfish that had been ran over by a big rig. I got up and told my fiancé we need to leave. He paid Jessie for the "service." I walked out with an ULTIMATE TATTOO FAIL and out $90! Not only that but my wedding was 2 days later. I'm banking on it fading since it's a finger tattoo but I've still been scrubbing the shit out of it in hopes it might fade faster. I'll definitely be looking for a good cover up artist. But please, do not go or refer ANYONE to Jesse! Save yourself!

    My sister and I have been wanting to get our ears pierced for some time. We haven't gotten one done…read morein so many years we didn't know where we should go. Our other sister recommended Banter By Piercing Pagoda located in the Del Amo Fashion Center. She's taken her daughter here to get her ears done and had a great experience. She made the appointment for the both of us. I don't know if they take walk-ins. It is a counter that is located on the first floor behind the escalator where you can see Din Tai Fung on the second floor. The person working at the time was called Janna. She greeted us right away and showed us the selection of earrings strictly used for piercing. I decided to go with my birthstone. Janna had me sit in the chair located on the right side of their display of jewelry. She carefully marked where the earrings would go and then made sure that I was satisfied with the placement. Before I knew it, the procedure was done. The pain was tolerable and it didn't linger like I thought it would. After she finished working on my sister, Janna took the time to explain the after-care. We were given hypochlorous acid spray to use twice a day for 4 weeks. She showed us how to properly clean the area and emphasized the importance of doing this to prevent an infection. Overall, I would recommend this place. I am already looking forward to getting another piercing done. My sister and I had a great experience. Thank you, Janna, for doing an awesome job!

He also made sure I was completely happy before starting. We are both really happy with how it turned out. The service includes everything you need: the piercing itself, numbing, aftercare instructions, cleaning wipes, extra earring backings, and even a follow-up visit, which I think is incredibly helpful. You can also upgrade the earrings depending on what style you choose. If you are looking for peace of mind and quality care, I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

    What better thing to do on Friday the 13th than get a tattoo for $13 ?!…read more Okay the wait was ridiculously long, but that's expected for a day like this. Luckily my brother in law was able to get a number and decided not to get a tattoo so he passed me his spot but they waited almost 10 hours before they got to our number (we were in the late 70s) My friend, sister, and I got our tattoos done by Juan. His handle is @tat2frel - he was awesome! Very patient! I'm super anal especially when it comes to things like this, I mean it's gonna be on my body forever ya know.. so I kept asking him to remove and redo and he honestly didn't care and just wanted me to really like what I was getting myself into. He also has a very light hand so it wasn't painful- my friend was completely at ease and this was her first tattoo! It was an overall great experience!

    Not my first rodeo and kind of my go to spot when I'm itching for a new tattoo or piercing. I've…read morebeen riding with this place for at least over a decade. Came again yesterday with my sister, my hubby, and my best friend to get a Friday the 13th tattoo. My hubby ended up changing his mind and not getting anything but stayed and endured the excruciating 9 hour wait just to get to our turn. Doors opened at 11am, we were there at 10:30am and didn't get tatted until about 8pm but I guess that's expected when you're wanting a $20-$40 tattoo. The business also had a food truck which was definitely a nice treat. We all decided to get tattooed by Juan, his IG handle is @tat2frel and he was just great to say the least. His work was impeccable and he worked with me on placement and lining until I was satisfied as I had it on the side of my wrist and the tattoo lining looks different as I twist my wrist. He was patient and didn't mind taking it off and on to make sure I was happy. And I was definitely happy with the end results. He has a really light touch and didn't feel his whole weight on me while tattooing and just an all around pleasant guy. He also remembered me from a few years ago when I brought the business a case of beer at the end of the night, thanking them for their hard work and willingness to still take us. They are definitely sweet people. I asked about touch ups and things of that sort, he told me he doesn't like to do them but sometimes he will. lol I'm definitely trying to get him to work on some of my stuff cos I really like what he is capable of. My sister and my best friend loved what they got as well. It was my best friends first tattoo and god bless Juan for dealing with my indecisive sister from hell. lol she can literally be a nightmare when it comes to stuff that she wants and he just took it all in with ease. If it's not because this is my go to place to come, it would definitely be because of Juan. Definitely will be coming back soon!

    Hi, please be advised that although Sonia has had several years of experience doing eyebrow…read moremicroblading, she does not have a high-level of detail artistic skill. I took a picture to her of my penciled in eyebrows so she can see how I wanted them to look. I have a wide forehead so I didn't want the tail end of my eyebrows to come too close to my eyes. She said she could do it. After the work was done, the tail end of the eyebrows came close to my eyes. I was disappointed, but they didn't look ugly, so I didn't have a fit. I just had to accept it - it's permanent ink. One eyebrow was noticeably lower than the other side, so I have to use a lot of eyebrow pencil every day to make them look better. The worse thing she did was use a tattoo machine to lengthen one of my eyebrows that was shorter than the other side during a touchup. She recommended the tattoo machine over microblading, since it was just a small area. I agreed to let her do it because I had seen tattoos that look like hair strings on people, so I figured she would lightly fill in the area the same way. Instead she put a heavy blob of ink on the area and made it crooked (see picture attached). I was afraid to go to someone else who may make the work look even worse, so I reluctantly went to her to try and make it look better. Other tattoo artist do not like to work on botched up microblading by other artist. As you can see on the photo attached, my eyebrows do not have the level of detail and niceness that's marketed on their website. I had an expert look at it and they strongly criticized her work. Hopefully, I'll find someone who will be willing to fix it, but it will be hard with that blob of ink at the end of the brow area. My advice to you is to go to an expert who does microblading and shading and can show you several pictures of the work they have done. I've seen two people on my job whose eyebrows came out perfect the first time and they don't have to fill-in their eyebrows with pencil every day like I have to do. I hope this information helps you to make a wiser choice than I did. P.S. - Attached is a picture of how my eyebrows looked after the microblading she did. Attached is another picture of how microblading looks from a skilled artist. Notice the lack of attention to detail on the work done at the beginning of my eyebrows.
