We all LOVE the pieces that she's done for us! In addition to being creative and highly skilled, she's also really fun and easy to talk to. Every session has been enjoyable, and I always feel excited and proud to bring another loved one in to get tattooed by her. Kat takes the time to really understand the vision and heart behind each request, then works hard to bring that request to life! My tattoos are beautiful and have all healed well. They turned out even better than I was envisioning! I get compliments on them all the time. I'm already dreaming up my next tattoos and can't wait to work with Kat again! As far as the shop itself, Golden Child is clean, professional, and friendly. Every time I've come in, the owner and multiple other artist swing by throughout the session to check on Kat and on me, see if we need anything, and compliment the tattoo. Golden Child has built a little family, and it resonates in everything they do. Highly recommend!

I've been dreaming of a Moomin tattoo for a long time, and finding the perfect artist was crucial…read more Having grown up with the Moomin Valley Kids show, those memories were dear to me. Cohav came highly recommended in my local Facebook group, and after seeing a video of her charming studio, I eagerly booked an appointment for December 25th. The journey from Santa Monica was smooth, and Cohav's studio lived up to its cozy charm. Beyond her impressive skills, Cohav's patience, knowledge, and positive energy made the experience delightful. My tattoo turned out exactly as I envisioned. Cohav isn't just a talented artist; she brings a beautiful vibe to the entire process. Don't miss out--this is your sign to go and get that tattoo! (I'm already thinking about my next one!).

I filled out some standard paper work, and was immediately taken back to pick out my jewelry. I was very impressed my the selection they had! I picked the one shown in the picture (which was a brand new piece they got in yesterday!) , so honestly after everything it came out to $100 flat which is honestly such a good deal when you know you're getting a clean, sterile piercing with amazing service. Shannon was very sweet, made me feel very comfortable and talked me through every single little thing she did. My boyfriend tagged along with me and was looking into getting a new tattoo, and talked to Mike who was also very nice! I am definitely going to come back for another piercing to get from here. 10/10 service. :)

So, I gave up wearing earrings and figured my holes closed up. I didn't think twice about it, until I realized how soon I was getting married and really wanted to wear earrings. After sharing my story with a dear friend of mine, she told me she had the same experience and needed to get her ears re-pierced. She had a great experience with Grand Legacy Tattoo...and that was enough for me! Off we went! My fiancé and I arrived on a Friday night. Grand Legacy Tattoo is located at the end of a strip mall. Parking is super easy. We were greeted as we parked...isn't timing everything? I told them what I needed and off we went. Super clean and a great vibe! Artwork everywhere, bright lights. Shannon couldn't have been any nicer! She listened to my story and got to work right away. Lo and behold, I didn't need my ears re-pierced. Everything was still open- I just needed titanium earrings. Based on what I told her, it sounded like I developed some kind of allergy to certain metals. I picked out the cutest titanium CZ circular studs. Shannon is a pro at what she does and a delight to chat with! As of this yelp review, I've been wearing my cute little earrings for 12 hours now, even slept in them. No irritation, no inflammation. Super comfortable. Take note: cash only establishment- no credit cards. They accept Venmo, Zelle, etc. My fault for missing ALL the posted signs. Venmo to the rescue! No hesitation recommending Grand Legacy Tattoo to anyone wanting a piercing or tattoo! 5 stars!

I had thought about tattoos for decades and finally decided to start the process. This tattoo studio is unlike anything I've ever seen in San Diego County! I feel this beautiful place elevated my expectations . This is the only upscale tattoo boutique around that brings smokin' talent from several well trained and experienced artists. I had 4 tattoos done within a 2 week period, because I enjoyed it so much! Jesse responded right away to my request for service and was helpful in being realistic about the process of choosing the designs and time. Super efficient online and texting communications, comfortable, safe, and friendly! Highly recommend for high end quality tattoos that you will absolutely love!

I've had my fair share of tattoos being active duty military. Some on deployments, some stationed…read moreoverseas and some in the states. But I don't think any tattoo I have gotten compares to Hiro's. I hadn't planned on getting this piece done for a long time because the empty space on my forearm had been a problem. The space was small, the many and different designs I asked for was always "too detailed" or "impossible" for other artists. So I've been really lagging on getting the space filled in because I care about what I put on my body. I was on the verge of believing that maybe these artists were right and that I had to go for something more simple. But Hiro changed that. & he told me that there was no excuse for why other artists couldn't do it. He didn't make me feel bad for asking for something unique or for the design being "too much." He made me feel like it was easy to make happen and showed me that it wasn't about limitations. You can tell that he is precise, skilled, and confident when tattooing. He proved to me that there was always a way to make it happen--if you do it right. He does a lot of traditional Japanese tattoos and the fine line work he does is very surprising. I don't understand how he was able to put so much detail on a small space LMAO. It's almost microscopic! The healing process surprised me. Not a single blowout, no excessive bleeding during or after (in fact, I'd barely bled at all LOL). He was not heavy handed, I barely even felt the needle and it was almost painless. Even during the session he would always check in with me and ask me if I needed a break or if I was doing alright. To me, that speaks a lot because it showed me he cares about his clients well being during the session. I am more than happy and satisfied with his work, and I recommend anyone to go see Hiro. The shop overall was very welcoming and friendly. There's a bunch of other talented artists there that care about their craftsmanship as well. And I couldn't believe how reasonable their prices were, considering the care and quality of the work they gave. I have gotten other tattoos for a more expensive price with horrible quality. These people at Frosty's Tattoo Studio are not lazy and will get you right. Im sure this shop is newer and not a lot of people know about it yet. Please give this place a visit, they deserve the attention. I will be adding a photo of my tattoo in this review. It is still unfinished, and I will post another review of it in the future when it is completed. But take a look at how it came out and how it has healed so far. I will be going back to Hiro to finish the shading and add the unfinished details on my tattoo soon. & I will more than likely have Hiro do all my future tattoos from now on.
