    Birds of paradise
    Leslie F.

    I love Black Anchor Tattoo. They have the best Tattoo Artist. My most recent Tattoo was with Henry Ruiz AKA "Selfcultured" on Instagram. I highly recommend him, he was able to create what I had in mind and added a touch of color. I went with birds of paradise and I am completely in love with it. Henry was nice enough to answer all my questions with the tattoo aftercare and to see how I was feeling. I plan on going back and adding more to my arm. Thank you Black Anchor Collective for hiring the best Tattoo Artist.

    I had a great experience here! Joe was awesome to work with; he took his time with my tattoo and I'm defiantly going back. I love his work! Very clean shop and polite staff

    I called the day of and was able to get tattooed by Joe who was amazing! My father recently passed away and I wanted the last words to be tattooed on my wrist in his handwriting. I showed up with a notebook of my dads writing and joe did his magic! It literally looks like my dad wrote it on me him self! I also had the opportunity to meet Nikko Hurtado! He was casually there, I mean he does own the place but he and Joe were both so kind and humble! I had a total fan girl moment and asked for a pic and Nikko and Joe didn't hesitate! Such an amazing place! I will absolutely be back! Thank you so much!

    My first tattoo Princess Mononoke absolutely beautiful

    Had an amazing experience with Jose aka Cheeseburger. My very first tattoo and from the moment I walked in I loved the decor and vibe of the shop. I felt so comfortable watching Kubo and the two strings while getting tatted. Jose was very patient with me, a very anxious and overreactor, so I appreciated him answering my texts after the appointment. The quality of his anime tattoos are superb and the time he takes really shows in his work. He even mocked up two separate pieces based on what I wanted. I drove 8 hours from Norcal for my first tattoo and it was so worth it. Thank you Jose and sorry for the extremely late review.

    I've been a fan of Mat for sometime so I was excited about getting a piece from him. We went back and forth with ideas about the piece I'd want and decided on a "The Killing Joke" Joker tattoo. My whole experience was amazing and I love the finished product. I'm definitely going to return and get more pieces added from Mat. The whole staff is friendly and answer questions you may have. If you want some quality work I'd definitely recommend Black Anchor. Their work speaks for itself!

    Butterfly is a cover up. And the start of my sleeve. It's still a work in progress but I love what he's done so far.

    Joe has done numerous tattoos for me and my family. He is the best! He even did an awesome job with my cover up. Now he's working on my sleeve. I won't go to anyone else.

    Firstly this location isn't there anymore they are on Hesperia Rd just south of Bear Valley. Secondly Joe did an awesome job on the beginning of a massive piece he totally killed it. Joe took his time and didn't rush through it we booked and 8 hr sesh and it took damn near the entire time. Black Anchor Collective has top notch artists and this the second time I have been tattooed by them, Joe will definitely be finishing this piece.

    If you are looking for some amazing work and a super chill artist, definitely gonna wanna check out Henry Ruiz! I've had 2 tattoos done by him now and they turned out AMAZING. The healing was flawless and left both tattoos looking like I just walked out of the shop. Most definitely will be booking more appointments with Henry!!!

    I have been here twice and both times i felt welcomed as soon as I walked through the doors. I booked an appointment via email with Carlos Rojas and he did a portrait of my daughter who passed away recently. Words can't describe how grateful I am for the work he did. 10/10 I would recommend Carlos as your artist and 10/10 I recommend this shop because of the customer service.

    Black Anchor is really an awesome spot to get a tattoo! I've been going to my guy, Mike R. for about 7 years now and when I heard he was working here I was super excited to go and check out the place! Everyone there is super helpful and of course Mike always does a phenomenal job; I mean I've been only going to him for the past 7 years, if that's not trust and loyalty I don't know what is He always makes your ideas come to life and there's never a dull moment! He's very professional and he works with your schedule! Stop by and see his work or look him up on social media @umbrellaface promise you won't regret it!! This is my newest piece done by Mike

    Been working with Mat H. for the last year on 2 color Lego Superhero half sleeves. I always get compliments but in the last 2 weeks I've had several people (at the movies, Starbucks, market) strike up a whole conversation about how sick my tattoos are! I love my tattoos for me but getting that type of reaction randomly from strangers is amazing.

    I've been getting tattooed by Umbrella Face since late July of 2017 and his art is beyond beautiful. I've gotten a few pieces that are of his own design but even when I throw out an idea it's better than what I could have come up with. It's always a friendly and professional work place that is very sanitary. I highly recommend checking out his work!

    Do the do piercings as well?? Thanks!

    Unfortunately We don’t.

    Can anyone give me a price range on the hourly rates charged please I'd appreciate it so much?

    Will depend on the artist that you're wanting! I was there three hours and paid three hundred for mine . My tattoo is about the size of my hand with a lot of detail! Best to call and get a quote for the artist you want! Best of luck!!

    I'm so happy I found Sam. I had reached out to a few other places beforehand, but she was by far…read morethe most informative and kind, which made choosing to book with her an easy decision. She really listened to what I wanted, made the process feel comfortable from start to finish, and helped me achieve the look I was hoping for. What stood out most was how thorough and intentional she was. She took great care in mapping the shape and finding the right color for my lip blush, and I really appreciated that she never rushed the process. I was looking for someone who specialized in a natural style, and she truly knows how to enhance your features while still keeping them natural. She'll definitely be my go-to for permanent makeup in the future, and I'd highly recommend her. Thank you again for making this such a great experience from start to finish!

Rikki was an apprentice the last time I got pierced, and she was busy with a customer this time, but she was very friendly back then and was still friendly now. The piercers are awesome. I would recommend Tattoo Image to anyone who wants to get pierced.

    My review is on the owner Mario, some might say my review is more personal, and in most cases it…read morewould be, but getting a tattoo is a very personal experience between you and the artist, how the artist conducts their personal affairs should figure in on how you choose your artist...... Mario and his wife have a house on my street, it's supposed to be owner occupied but is not, instead it's occupied by Mario's wife's(future ex wife, I'm not technically sure) Boyfriend who in fact lives there rent free, no water or trash service, he steals from the neighbors & Mario(in Mario's case he stole & spent $80,000 from Mario's biz account. In fact the Bf is one of those rare kind of scandalous people, that no matter what kind of deal you worked out with him, the second you turn around, he gotta grab a little more that was agreed on behind your back, everytime, he just can't help him self. Not to long ago he made me a deal, to where I was supposed to get like 1K worth of different items just to loan him this brand new computer I got, not only did I get my computer back gutted, I never got n e of the other stuff he promised me either, then I find out the 1k of stuff he promised belonged to Mario, so I did the right thing and told Mario what dude was up to, Mario have my e his word dude was being evicted and would be out of the house by the middle of Feb 2025. Why would Mario let the dude who broke he and his wife up, stole 80k from his biz account and still tries to steal from Mario today continue to live in his house, rent free, drive his car for the same price ???? Well I'm gonna tell you, first off the biznez accounts belong to the biznez owners who are Mario and his wife, turns out Mario and his wife make a lot of money, cuz they came up with some kinda sanitary glue that hold the tattoo pattern in place for the artist. Now all tattoo artist everywhere, not just in the US are required to use this glue that Mario and his wife hold the patten on, everytime a tattoo is done in a shop, they get royalties from their glue. Wow that's gotta be a lot of money ? I mentioned Mario his wife are getting divorced ? Well Mario it seems thinks all the biznez cash should stay his in the divorce, and the weasel played right into that for him, I guess Mario has an implied deal with his wife, if he don't press charges on the Wiesel for the theft of the 80k then she don't hire a divorce lawyer to protect her share of everything, of course he got to hire his own lawyer to ensure only she gets screwed in the end. Now I'm not passing judgement on n e body, even if it does seem Mario a little one sided there, I'm just throwing info out there for you guys to consider before picking your next tattoo artist. This whole story is in the words told me by the Bf, true or not, I don't know but he gotta let him keep living in that house for free for some reason Have a great day and god bless you all

They were very nervous and scared Richard took his time explained everything and patiently waited for them to be ready before he started. He explained every step and gave them tips on how to relax. He gave detailed instruction on maintenance and cleanliness also took the time to explain it again before we left making sure they understood the importance of it. I'm very confused how this place has bad reviews. First off Richard is amazing he even wiped my girls tears from her eyes (very common with nose piercings) he cracked jokes with them and even gave them a extra nose ring to swap out when it's time. Blaming someone for your negligence is so odd to me! Before you get any service you do your research even with the great details he gives everyone is different specially if you have thick skin you will heal different and take a longer time. This is the only place I go to and will continue to go too! PROS: Very clean Professional Caring Great play list Courteous Patient Large selection Quick Great at what he do CONS: You never want to leave lol!

A 6 hour tattoo done in 45 minutes what this man charged me $500 for where every single line was jagged, crooked, and lobsided. He contradicted himself, lied, and went in circles when I confronted him about it through an Instagram dm, tried to charge me an extra $150 to shade it in when I went back in once the swelling went down and started to actually see what he did. Then told me I was threatening him when I said I would post photos on google and yelp reviews, but if you think I'm wrong and you did a magnificent job why is posting a review a threat? But baybeee listen that $500 is coo because guess what I will be in that galleria everyday from the time they open until they close standing with photos of the tattoo close up and photos from the conversation we held on Instagram for proof to warn people going in there. He go need that $500 because I can bet your last dime that I will be in that btch everyday showing people pictures of this tattoo he did and letting potential new tattoo customers of his know the scammer he is! The photos speak for themselves! This occured on September 29,2023! Please be careful he will try to come off super nice but he is a very shady man! His name is Richard! He is bald with tattoos on his head! I pray the word gets around so he doesn't take advantage of anyone else, tattoos are permanent! I would give him -5 stars if I could! We exchanged words on Instagram and all he did was lie, go in circles, and contradict himself! I CANNOT STRESS IT ENOUGH PLEASE BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE AND DONT GO HERE FOR A TATTOO GO TO AN ACTUAL ARTIST BECAUSE YOU WILL LEAVE WITH A BACKYARD/ JAILHOUSE TATTOO! AND HE WONT ADMIT HES WRONG HE WILL TELL YOU HE SPENT YOUR MONEY IF HE FCKS YOU OVER AND YOU ASK FOR A REFUND! I even tried to be fair and ask for only half back even though this tattoo clearly wasn't even worth $50!!!!! And please beware he can do letter tattooing but if you have art work go elsewhere! I pray this reaches anyone before they are let down and stuck paying extra money at an actual shop to fix his wrong doings! It's already hard in the economy as is! Photos of the conversation will be uploaded where he told me at the beginning he charges $500 for this type of tattoo because of detailing. But as you can see in these few photos I posted, where is the detailing? PISSED, SAD, ANGRY IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT And might I add, he blocks people on Instagram who's tattoos he messed up! So you cant see the mentions!
