Been going to Francesca for around two years now. The staff as a whole is awesome, super friendly, talkative and do a great job. Everyone has a different specialty, so whatever you're looking for I'm positive there will be an artist for you. Check the shop out for your next piece

fireheart flash tattoo
Amy G.

Today was my first time at the shop for a Friday the 13th special and I am so grateful to have found this place. I felt welcome from the moment I stepped in because everyone was incredibly friendly. My lovely artist was Siena and she was absolutely fantastic, I had a hard time choosing between all of her flash! Although it was very busy, I never felt rushed or like she was "just trying to get another tattoo done," as I've felt at other places. She was very down to earth and made me feel so comfortable in the new place! Even though we had never met before, she had a smile on her face the whole time and treated me with such kindness. You could just tell that she loves what she does. Her line work is stunning and I can't wait to come back for more art from her! I adore my little fireheart, thank you again so much Siena!!

Siena is THE best! I've gotten 3 beautiful tattoos done by her & I cannot recommend her enough. I first went to her many years ago after doing thorough research looking for an artist that could help fix/salvage a wonky tattoo I got done by a different artist. She was able to definitely improve the line work that bled out due to the other artist having too heavy of a hand. Recently, I've been on a tattoo craze and have gotten 3 tattoos done by her and she kills it everytime. Super sweet, communicative, down to earth, and talented. Also, the atmosphere of the shop and the other artists are super nice and welcoming. Not a place where you'll ever feel intimidated. This will forever be my spot & Siena will always be my go-to!

Siena is a fantastic artist! They answered all of my questions and attended to every adjustment I requested. Throughout the whole session, I felt comfortable and the vibes were very chill. Best tattoo shop in Costa Mesa!!

Her artwork ‍

Ask for Francesca!Five stars/ five. Review: I couldn't be happier with my experience at Blue Collar Ink Tattoo. Francesca is an absolute artist in every sense of the word. She did a phenomenal job on my bicep tattoo--not only creating new work, but also fixing up artwork done by another, less experienced artist. What she accomplished was nothing short of amazing. The original tattoos just didn't capture what I wanted, but Francesca transformed them with precision and creativity. She listened to exactly what I was looking for and brought it to life better than I imagined. The level of detail, the clean lines, the overall finish--truly flawless. It's rare to find someone with both the technical skill and the artistic vision to rescue and perfect someone else's work. Francesca nailed it. If you're looking for real talent and someone who genuinely cares about getting it right, she's the one to see. -A.A:

Helix

I had the pleasure of getting my helix pierced by Jade the other day! It was $75 for the piercing and jewelry and an optional cost of $10 for after care. Walk-ins accepted. She did a wonderful job and explained the entire process to me so I felt less nervous. I appreciate how strict she is about the sterility of her work! She gave me the option to choose from 3 placements which I thought was super considerate. She was so sweet and even makes her own after care pamphlet! She lists tips for piercing care and signs of infection. Her instagram @ is @jadepokesyou. If you're ever in the area and looking to get pierced, I couldn't recommend Jade enough. I'm definitely coming back

Before...old tatoo

Would highly recommend Blue Collar for your tattoo and piercing needs. Everyone there is super nice and talented. Sean is the best! He has done three tattoos for me recently, including a cover-up, and he does amazing work! He is nice, professional, and super talented.

My Tattoo Today, 1/3/24 a week healed  *please excuse the jean marks and the lame self-taken pic but had to share how good it came out!*
Dianna X.

So... I'm a tattoo Newbie and I can't stress how HAPPY I am with the work that was done at this shop. I'd had a co-worker get her tattoo done here and i'm so happy I decided to come here for mine! I lost my husband this year and decided that my first tattoo, which I had been wanting for years anyway, should be in his honor and in honor of our shared faith. Taylor, my AWESOME tattoo artist, was kind, professional, and attentive. She made sure my memorial/faith tattoo were done how I wanted. Her patience blew me out of the water! I had so many ideas coming out of my head and she heard every single on of them and politely advised me on what would look best, what would fit, and what would not be recommended. She was also polite enough to let me see examples, Yes... placing stencils on both places I was considering the tat, just so I could see what it would look like on each on and so I could make a more informed decision before making it permanent. The vibe at this shop plus the service received definitely has me thinking about another tat!! which, if I do, will definitely be with my girl Taylor again!! Awesome awesome place! Thanks Taylor and Blue Collar Tattoo for a great experience for a first-timer!

Highly recommend Francesca Vuono at Blue Collar Tattoo. Clean work, good vibes, doesn't charge insane rates and really seems to care about the quality of her work. I came in with exactly what I wanted tattooed on my leg and she executed perfectly. Will be back again.

Allyson N.

taylor is AMAZING! truly such a gem and super informative about fine line tattoos i was recommended and will definitely be coming back!

Stencil
Marissa S.

I've been tattooed here twice, both by Siena and I highly recommend her if you're looking to get tattooed. She did my first tattoo over two sessions (about 9 hours total, and a larger piece on my forearm) that was based on an artwork I had commissioned from a friend and was very transparent through the consultation and tattooing process about her prices, what modifications would need to be made to the reference, etc. For my second piece (a smaller piece on my collarbone, about 45 minutes) I sent her an idea and some reference photos and she was able to create a piece from those and freehand some flowing stippling around it. Both pieces have healed perfectly and look great. Siena is super sweet, informative, and very easy to work with from booking through the actual process of getting tattooed, her stippling work is gorgeous and I can't wait to get more work from her! The shop is clean, easy-going, and has a good vibe. Will be looking to work with their other artists and possibly get a piercing here in the future.

Fresh tattoo

I came in contact with Taylor through a family member and we connected via Instagram to plan and schedule my first tattoo. Upon arriving at Blue Collar Tattoo we were greeted immediately and introduced to Taylor. Taylor sat with us for an hour, modifying the design and sizing of the tattoo to make it absolutely perfect. She was very flexible and open to changing anything and everything to make my tattoo exactly what I dreamed of. Not only is Taylor extremely talented, she also is a super down to earth person and made sure the entire experience was enjoyable. There is nothing more I could have asked of her. After the tattoo she made sure I had her contact information and has been available to help with any healing questions I have had. I would HIGHLY recommend Taylor to anyone and everyone looking for a tattoo artist!

A close friend of mine and I came here in January. Getting piercings together was our third stop…read moreduring our girls day in the OC. Unfortunately, parking at The Camp isn't all that great. I have yet to find a spot by myself so I just bit the bullet for paying for valet. We came in an hour before closing and were greeted by Samara - who did a wonderful job getting us set up for our spontaneous piercings! We were then directed to Lucas. He did my friend's tragus piercing and my dual lobe piercings. I haven't been pierced since I was a baby, but Lucas made the whole experience real easy. Overall, he's a super chill guy that makes an effort to strike up a conversation and make you feel comfortable about the whole process. Other than the fleeting hot sensation from the initial pinch, the process was pretty painless. Bonus: we got some sick stickers featuring his bull dog Everyone we met at the shop was friendly, knowledgable, and professional. Their website is also a fantastic resource in case you don't ask all of your questions about healing in-person. My friend and I truly felt like we were in great hands so kudos to everyone for setting such an easygoing vibe. I've been back a few times since January for a quick monthly check and to get my piercings downsized recently. As expected, I was met with top-tier customer service, true to the shop's personal brand. I feel confident coming back for future piercings. Lastly, if you're downsizing - I highly recommend making an appointment. I was in and out (no more than 15 minutes), but I was surrounded by 4+ walk ins. It's really easy to do so over their website vs. calling.

Gregg is the only piercer I will ever keep coming back to. I've had a few piercings done with him…read moreand the amount of care and honesty he gives me every time makes me trust him more than I already do. He also gives cat stickers every time (love cat enthusiasts) and he makes you feel so safe and comfortable no matter what you're looking to get done. Couldn't recommend more! Recently got my nose ring in after he advised me to keep my stud in for a long time. He's also done my conch and inner helix. All fabulous experiences and I will keep coming back!
