    Mike did an awesome job on my mermaid scales!
    Danielle M.

    I am so glad I stopped to check this place out.... Mike is the utmost professional, very talented, and super sweet! I will definitely be sending more business his way! I stopped in here on a whim to ask about a mermaid scale tattoo and the cost. Mike was helpful and I liked the cost! 3 sittings later and Im in with love him now!!! He was very sweet and attentive to my pain tolerance (damn the hip area hurt!!!!) and was super nice about me needing to break this tatt up into a few sessions! Im already planning on my next one! I cant wait to go see him again....

    We did more to the tattoo and it's amazing. Smoke is really the best there is! I even moved to Las Vegas and will fly out here to have him do my tattoo. #NoOtherArtistOutThere

    I have gotten all my tattoos by big Mike and he does great work one of the best tattoo artist . You can give him a picture of anything and or an idea and watch it come to life he is an extremely talented and respectful artist and makes you feel welcome when you come to his shop he is a highly recommend tattoo artist and I strongly recommend you coming to him when you decide to get a tattoo . Big mike keep doing the great work you always do.

    Just left Built to Last Tattoo and I love my new tattoo. Big Mike did a cover up behind my ear and it is everything I wanted plus more! The vibe of the shop is very calm and relaxing. He made me feel very comfortable.. The tattoo process was very relaxing very odd to say because my previous tattoo experiences were very painful of course because I'm getting tattooed. Big mike has very lite hands which makes such a huge difference. I will definitely be back! Thank you again mike

    I have been going to Mike for 10+ years now and have always been very happy. As a true artist I can give him my ideas and he always comes back with great artwork. I will continue to go to Mike for my tattoos as long as I have room for more.

    Jose had done a awesome work for me today. One is on my back. He tattoo some lines around my existing one to make my tattoos look more nicer. Another one is tattoo a new one to cover the existing one. Very nice job. Thank you so much.

    This is what he wanted to tattoo

    You know how people always say they "have a guy" for things? I've always wanted that... and then I…read morerealized I do. Tony is my tattoo guy. I've gone to him time and time again for a majority of my work and he can't miss. This last visit in April was extra special because my daughter asked if we could get matching tattoos for her 18th birthday. It was her first and what's this mama going to say, no? Couldn't be me. There was no one else I would trust with that process, especially when it comes to something so precious. We sent Tony our inspo pics and he absolutely nailed it, plus added his own feedback in all the right ways. The detail? On point. The linework? CLEAN AF. Plus, everything healed beautifully. And the compliments? Nonstop. Everywhere we go, someone's asking who did them, and we're more than happy to show them off. Tony and the team also just moved into a new location and the vibe is immaculate. Super laid back, really comfortable, and not intimidating at all. It actually feels like a place you'd want to hang out. No ego, no weird energy, just solid work from someone who clearly cares. Grateful to have found him... because now he's not getting rid of me anytime soon :)

He took the design I had in mind and recreated it himself, and it looked even better than my friends design. I'm already thinking of getting a second one and I never thought I would be the type of person to get more than one! I definitely will be back!!!

    This was my favorite tattoo experience ever! For my sixth tattoo, I wanted a type of algae, but…read morewith amazing color, and most of the artists I found did black and grey algae. I expanded my search to the Bay Area (I live in Monterey), and found Micah, and am so so so glad I did. From the beginning, Micah makes you feel comfortable, and is transparent with how they work, what they charge and it makes for a great collaborative experience. They have a cute, comfy studio, and really take the time to listen to you, figure out what's important, and make an amazing piece of permanent art. After 2 separate 2.5 hour sessions, I came out with an amazing bull kelp tattoo, with coloration that was both true to life, and out of this world. I cried after I saw the finished piece, and cried again when I removed the bandage that night. It's an amazing piece of art, and Micah is both an amazing artist and human being. It was worth every hour of traffic, and every dollar I spent, and I'm already brainstorming for the next one.

    Micah is a nuanced and dynamic artist. They work collaboratively and intuitively with clients…read more Their rigorous care is overt from the moment they start working with you. If you're serious about and open to carrying Micah's art, and embracing it as your own, get in contact with this amazing human! Their styles and skills are diverse - I'm fortunate to have natural content with beautiful colors shaped across my body by micah. Others have intricate lace, abstract pieces, and so much more. As a queer and trauma'd human and body, I have felt honored by Micah's contact and thoughtfulness. Micah's conversational style and dynamic listening has helped me move through pain, while they also reduce the physical pain proactively.

    I had a really good experience here last week. I never knew that tattoo parlors that use piercing…read moreneedles were a lot better than the piercing guns that are used at mall jewelry stores. I guess that's why all of my previous piercings never healed properly and closed up. I wanted to get them re-pierced and after researching tattoo parlors in the area, I chose Sacred Souls because of all of the high reviews. I made an appointment online for a 30 minute ear piercing session, but I did not specify that I wanted 5 piercings (4 lobe/1 helix). Sin was gracious enough to accommodate my request. He explained their full process and showed me their starter jewelry. Once I picked out what I wanted, he took me to their piercing area in the back which looked clean, sterile, and well-organized. The room would look just like a doctor's office if it wasn't for the fun decor. The piercing itself kind of turned into a breathing/meditation session. Sin gave me a squish ball to squeeze and then his voice became calm and soothing. He gently advised me to take 2 deep breaths as he went forward with each piercing and these were not too painful. I was at a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Afterwards, Sin went over the after-care instructions. Despite my mistake with the scheduling, I never felt rushed during my appointment. It is obvious that Sin is knowledgeable and takes great care with the whole process and that safety and cleanliness are important to him. The gal at the front register was friendly and helpful as well. I felt like the pricing for the multiple piercings and starter jewelry was fair. I appreciated receiving a follow-up text the next day and so far, everything seems to be healing well. If you want to get your ears pierced, don't go to the mall like I did before. Definitely check out Sacred Souls.

    First time at Sacred Souls. Perfect experience!…read moreBooking an appointment online was a breeze. Sin was there to greet me as soon as I walked in. He was incredibly professional and walked me through the entire ear piercing process, helping me pick out the perfect earring, and answering all my questions. The actual piercing was super quick and painless, which really speaks to Sin's expertise. I'm definitely coming back for any future ear piercings.

I reached…read moreout to so many piercing shops trying to find a place that was affordable, clean, & sterile, & Orbit had the best prices by far. They include free jewelry with every piercing (or you can upgrade for a little charge) & they have so many different Jewelry options to choose from.

He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and took the time to help my daughter design the perfect skateboard. They had so many awesome deck designs to choose from, a great selection of wheels, and tons of fun stickers that made the whole experience even more exciting for her. While we were waiting for everything to be put together, I believe the manager came out and was just as friendly. He welcomed us and made us feel right at home, which really added to the overall experience. One thing that really stood out to me was a sign about rewarding kids for getting good grades. I thought it was such a cool idea that they encourage kids by letting them earn free skateboard parts and other goodies. I love seeing businesses invest in their community like that. Thank you to Antonio and the whole team for making my daughter's first skateboard such a fun and memorable experience. We will definitely be back!
