Years of experience show. He does fantastic work here. Had most of my torso done and I keep coming back for more.

Michael was great! He squeezed us in and was really nice about me having my first tattoo. He walked me through it and it was a great experience. He also offers one free touch up to make sure the tattoo looks the way we want them. We're going back tomorrow to get our touch up. read more

Bone Deep Tattoo - Bumble bee wings - Tattoo Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Mike has done the most AMAZING work on me. I sent him a drawing of what I wanted and told him to go for it and boy oh boy did he. Not only did her cover up a bad tattoo of mine, but what he gave me doesn't even look like a cover up, it looks like it's own brand new tattoo!!! I couldn't be happier and Mike is 100% my go to artist for myself and he's who I recommend to everyone. He may have a bit of a wait but if you want amazing work and realistic pricing, this is the place for you. I've gotten tons of complements from my coworkers about the realism of the tattoo and so many people are mind blown that that's really on my arm. He also did a memorial tattoo for me after my friend passed away and he did an amazing job at replicating her tattoo. I will always recommend him to everyone and I dread the day he retires. read more

Cannot say enough good thing about this place. Had a septum piercing done and had such a wonderful experience. I went with my 3 year old daughter and friend. Kreston (the piercer) had us all feeling so welcomed, it was such a comfortable atmosphere. He is such an easy going and delightful person to talk to. He definitely knew what he was doing. The room was very clean and sterile. The actual piercing process was quick with very minor pain. He told me how to care for my piercing and gave me a pamphlet with all the information as well. I will definitely come back for any future piercings and recommend him to any of my friends interested in piercings. read more

I loved this place. Mike took very good care of me. He was very calm, cool, and collected. It was my first time getting my nose pierced and he made me feel very comfortable and gave thorough instructions on how to take care of it afterwards. Thanks Mike you were great!!! I would highly recommend this place and this wonderful guy who by the way is the owner. Thanks again! read more

Bone Deep Tattoo - Nose piercing by Mike. Love it - Tattoo Near Me - Apple Valley, California

Satisfied: I went here only to get my nipples pierced, and I was completely in love with my visit. The person who pierced me was Kreston, if I am not mistaken, who made me feel comfortable, relaxed, enjoyable, and just a great person. The job was quick and easy. I did feel pain, but that is expected. Overall great visit! read more

This may sound odd but was looking to get a tattoo removed!! Also i wanted it removed with "Tattoo Vanish" and when I searched I found someone surprisingly close to me. Kreston at bone deep tattoo was extremely professional and informative. His price was fair and he made me feel comfortable. We had great conversation and I look forward to having him work on another tattoo I want removed. read more

I got my nose pierced here and it was a great experience! It was almost completely painless and Kreston (piercer) knew what he was doing and gave aftercare instructions. It was clean and I felt comfortable. I definitely didn't expect to find a place of this quality in the high desert! read more

I got my tragus pierced here today. I was planning to go to Freak Chic (formerly House of Freaks) in LA to do my tragus, since it is very reputable and I got my conch done there, but I was lazy and I was gonna be in this area today... so I went to Bone Deep. My boyfriend got most of his tattoos done here. I was unsure because I didn't find any reviews on this place, plus I didn't want to go to a tattoo parlor that has piercing on the side. Kryston (hope I spelled that right) did my piercing for me. He seemed knowledgeable and professional. Honestly I felt nervous though, because he could have appeared more confident. But then that is understandable because no one is really in Apple Valley, so I doubt they get as many customers than say a shop in LA. But my tragus was done nicely, I think clamp slipped and he nicked me a bit, but that was alright. He gave good aftercare directions so I could tell he was pretty legit. The price is great, $35 for surface piercings include the jewelry. I know I keep on comparing this place to House of Freaks, but I just wanted to say that I felt so comfortable at HoF, even though conch piercings are known to hurt like hell. At Bone Deep, I felt like I was getting pierced by someone who knew what he was doing, but wasn't experienced enough. I had a good experience here though, but if I wasn't in the area or too lazy to drive farther, I wouldn't have come here for any piercings. read more

Kreston did my septum piercing tonight and I and completely satisfied with my experience, he was nice, professional, and over all awesome. My piercing is straight and he explained the process of cleaning and flipping in and out, I will be going back to him. read more

I got my nipples pierced there yesterday. Cost is $25.00 per piercing and includes basic jewelry. Kreston did the job nicely. He made me feel comfortable and was as professional as I'd expect in this line of business. The only thing that bugged me about the business was the young man who "welcomed" us (my husband came with me). We couldn't understand a word he said because of the way he talked/mumbled and we're both hard-of-hearing :(. Otherwise we're very happy with it! Now we're planning tattoos to complement my new piercings! :) Will definitely check if Kreston is willing/able to do them! Gonna be awesome! read more

Took my daughter here today to get her nose pierced. Kreston was AWESOME! He was sooo funny, very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place!!! read more

I got both of my cartilage ear piercings done here. The first one was two years ago by Kreston (I think), and I followed their care instructions and it healed fine and it looks great. I just got the second done by Mike today so we will see how it looks after it has healed! So far I have been very satisfied with the customer service, especially the good personalities there. I'd recommend Bone Deep for piercings! :) read more

Took my 13 year old to get a double piercing in her ear. After research I knew I didn't want to take her to a mall and use a gun. He was so nice and friendly made my daughter laugh. The whole experience was great. Her ear never even bothered her and is healing very fast. read more

I have been going to Bone Deep Tattoo for 10yrs. Had my first tattoo and probably my last here. Clean. Professional and always great work. If your a first timer this is a great place to experience getting art work done. read more

Always come here to get any piercings. Kreston always does a great job, is very friendly and overall was a great experience. Will be coming back here in the future to get any piercings!!! In total from Bone Deep, Kreston ended up doing 2 nose piercings, a industrial piercing, and a cartilage piercing. Will be back to get more cartilage piercings very soon. read more

I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family! Kreston was my piercer and he did an amazing job. Made the experience a little less painful and not awkward with his awesome sense of humor. He tried to keep me distracted with his convos and made sure to pierce quickly so I didn't really feel the pain as much. He made sure to take his time for the most precise application. The shop is very clean. I live a bit far from it but I will drive all the way out there again. This place will be my go to spot if I ever need another piercing!! read more

This will be the third time I've pierced my bellybutton, I had gone twice before to another local place and because of infection I had to remove it. Kreston pierced and and throughly went over aftercare and the procedure to follow, answering any and all my questions. He explained everything, I was so relaxed the entire time. I'd definitely go back and would refer anybody to Bone Deep. Thanks guys!! read more

Mike does a really great job, I got my first tattoo on my 18th birthday and he did an amazing job. He did it really quick and effective really recommend going to him you won't regret it. read more

Mike is the best. He does some amazing artwork. I need to make an appointment to finish my back. Hands down Mike is the best.

My little sister and her friends when to go there to get their nose pierced, they were seen by Kreston. And when my little sister went to go get her nose pierced by him, he had a boner and put his dick on her leg. And then after he put the dot on her nose for where the piercing was going to go he started to rub the cap of the marker on her lips like kind of outline it like a lip liner. And then after she got her nose pierced he stuck his fingers in her mouth and proceeded to follow her around the shop. And after they were done getting their nose pierced he asked my sister where they were going next and by they he meant him and her. And what makes me more upset is that when her friend got her nose pierced first, he was completely professional with her. I confronted to him about it. And he confessed about everything else but denied the whole boner incident even though there was 2 other witnesses. This man is sick in the head!!! Im disgusted that this company would hire someone like that! read more

I took my grandson and myself to get a tatoo from Bone Deep and we had Mike Cristino the owner tattoo us both! he was very polite, patient, and helped us with what we wanted. . his shop is nice and clean along with his tools, and he was very professional! God was he a patience man with me! I warmed him but he was amazing let me tell you! it's just I ask a million questions, the pain I can't believe what pain ? I already have a new tatoo picked out. Like I said Mike is fantastic and his work is so great I told him what I wanted and he just drew it on me! and there it was something I have wanted for more years than I can tell you and everything has a meaning to it for me, Mike made it happen and I never thought it would not for me but for my grandson I knew it would for him! Thank you Mike! from the two of us and you will be seeing us again! So everyone go to Bone Deep for all your tatoo needs! read more

I have been looking for a place to get tattoos in the high desert for a bit. There is always that concern that the artists are gonna dork up the work and you'll be stuck with something you aren't quite satisfied with. Thankfully I found Mike here at Bone Deep and he will be my only artist from now on. Since discovering him I have had several hours of a back piece done, my husband has had a few pieces done, and I have brought my son in on his latest trip home to have a nice piece done. Mike does perfect work and has a great artists eye for what will look just right. I like that he can actually sketch something right on the skin then make it look fantastic. All of the folks that do work out of the shop that I have met have been very friendly. It is the kind of place I am very comfortable in, which of course is important when you're going to be there for a few hours. I highly recommend Bone Deep for anyone looking for a shop in the high desert. read more

My daughter gets her piercings done here, very clean and professional! Love the vibe here, great people!

I had a piercing done by Kreston and he was awesome! He really took his time talking to me about how he thought it would look and adjusting the placement mark until it was perfect. Kreston is the first person to ever notice that one of my other piercings is slightly off center so he has an amazing eye for detail. The shop looked really clean and well organized. I was definitely happy I chose to stop in here. read more

I've had most of my piercings done here by Kreston, he is a great piercer definitely the only one I trust,Very clean and professional environment read more

i would definitely recommend bone deep tattoo for piercings, i would especially recommend Kreston, he is very nice, knows what he is doing and he makes you feel comfortable. I got my navel pierced two years ago and it healed up really nice, the jewelry last a log time as well. I am excited to get my nose pierced in April for my birthday and i am definitely going here. read more

I had been thinking about getting some more piercings in my ears. I was looking at getting a forward helix. I went in and talked with Kreston about what could be done. He explained that there were certain people who could get the full triple forward helix and others who couldn't. He explained the who's, what , and whys of getting certain jewelry, and piercings. I was VERY impressed with the room; very clean and everything was in a place and labeled. He did a great job with the piercings and also explained the aftercare. Great experience here and would recommend it to any who wants piercings. Thanks guys!! read more

I came to Bone Deep Tattoo to get a tattoo removed, Kreston talked to me on the phone about the process and I went in wanting more information about the procedure. When I got there Kreston called me back to take a look at my tattoo, my tattoo is on my lower back, I showed him and he proceeded to pull my pants all the way down exposing my entire butt, and almost my front. I was humiliated, embarrassed and felt exposed. He told me that he wouldn't remove such a beautiful tattoo and to get the fuck out of his shop, In a funny way, I suppose. Then he asked me if he could pierce my nipples and I said no. I will never be going back to this place, I felt sexually harassed and he talked down to me like I was a stupid little girl. I felt that he was really unprofessional and I felt that he had disrespected me in so many ways. read more
