    E. Dressen & I photo by Charles Chatov
    Nomads C.

    WoW! What TOP-NOTCH HOSPITALITY over at Classic Tattoo. I got tattooed by special guest Eric Dressen. He introduced me to Charles Chatov. Even run into a good friend of mine Bucky Crispin. Eric walked me around & showed me a lot of of the shops history! These guys are the REAL deal. If you are on the fence and not sure, stop by CLASSIC TATTOO in downtown FULLERTON! THEY HAVE YOU COVERED! GREAT OUTFIT! Can't wait to GO BACK! Tnx again guys!

    John did it again. I came to him for a cover up a couple of years ago and loved his work. He is amazing! I text him a couple weeks ago about another tattoo I wanted and sent an inspiration photo. His attention to detail and creativity was sooo much better than I could have imagined. On top of that, he is the absolute nicest guy ever. I won't ever go to anyone else. Thank you John. I absolute love my tattoo and my time with you was awesome.

    Very stoked on my tattoo by Charles Chatov. The whole experience from start to finish was very smooth and professional. We communicated via email until Charles had a clear understanding of what I was looking for. I trusted his expertise, and I'm extremely happy with the design he created. It incorporates elements that symbolize my dog while staying true to the traditional Japanese foo dog aesthetic. The final piece exceeded my expectations and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Charles. Thanks!

    Once again, Miles absolutely killed it! Fantastic shop, great vibe, and a top notch experience! Can't wait to get more of my leg done! Thanks Classic crew!

    Issac absolutely created a sick tattoo for me! Came in twice so far and man do they all seem to do a great job. Got tatted by Jose as well and he did an amazing job. He did a spider and Isaac did a chrysanthemum! Can't recommend this place enough!

    On March 12th I came in for my very first tattoo! Everyone that works there is very nice and welcoming. My artist was Bucky and he was extremely knowledgeable and talented. He did an amazing job! I will definitely go back to Classic Tattoo for my next one!

    My first tattoo. Good vibe and fast approach by an artist. Definitely one to consider.

    Updated review: I now have 5 tattoos from classic and this shop never fails to amaze me. Bucky always gets me right. Everyone is super chill over here and welcoming. Give em a shot, you wont regret it!

    I've had 2 tattoos done here by John, guy is so freakin chill and a great artist. The shop is clean and the artists are friendly. The shop has a cool old school vibe, would definitely recommend. Picture is my tattoo completed last Thursday. I've been wanting a pirate ship tattoo as long as I can remember, super stoked how it came out.

    I recently got my nose piercing done here and had such a great experience. I was honestly a little nervous going in, but the piercer named seleina made me feel so comfortable from the start. She was very gentle,patient, and explained everything clearly before beginning. The process was quick,clean and way less painful than I expected. Definitely recommend!

    Rebecca V.

    They were super helpful when I first called and when my sister and I showed up for the appointment they were quick to help us and get the idea of what we wanted. The shop was clean and I felt very comfortable being there. We both got seen within a few mins and the guys who took care of us were nice and polite. It was my sisters first tattoo and she was so happy with how it turned out.

    Javier working on my cover up among other tattoos, looking beautiful. Issac did one for myself and my mom, awesome. Mario Aguilar, did two on my back and they still look sharp. This is the place to go to get work done.

    Hi do you have any artist there that specialize in hatching style tattoos?

    Would your shop still be doing the sale the day after Friday the 13th 🥲?

    Technically, no. But what we do is offer the sale price on any one of our Friday the 13th designs after the 13th as long as they signed in on the 13th and did not get tattooed, because we were too busy and didn't get to their name on the list.

    What's the minimum?

    Thanks for asking, our minimum is $100.

    Is it possible to do an apprenticeship at 16? I've been really interested in tattoos forever

    Hi, tattooing is a normal job like anything else, therefor, if you are of legal age to work you can tattoo. As far as if someone is willing to apprentice you goes, that might be hard to find as a 16 year old. Most tattooers teach another based on… 

    Will you guys be offering Friday the 13th deals next week?

    Hi, we will be working from our five famous sheets of flash with tons of designs on them and also a special new sheet as well. All designs range from $60-$250. We open at 11am and close at midnight

    No, we don’t, but there’s a great place next door that does.

    Do you accept walk-ins?

So here I am. Older. Wiser. Slightly humbled. But still committed to my personal brand of "respectfully chaotic." Enter YOU. From the jump, you had the exact energy I needed: calm, unbothered, and clearly not fazed by women like me making questionable-but-symbolic jewelry decisions in midlife. You assessed the situation like a true professional -- no judgment, just a quiet understanding that sometimes we do things for the plot. You explained everything so clearly that even my brain -- which is usually juggling school schedules, grocery lists, and at least three minor household crises -- managed to fully absorb it. Honestly, that alone deserves five stars. And then... it was over. IMMEDIATELY. I have spent more time negotiating bedtime with children who are not even biologically mine than it took you to re-pierce my nose. Also, your vibe? Immaculate. Now I catch my reflection and think, "Ah yes. There she is. A woman who has survivedg blending a family of seven AND still makes mildly defiant jewelry choices." 10/10. Efficient, kind, and deeply supportive of my ongoing journey to be both responsible and just a little bit petty. If I'm back, it's either for another piercing... or because I tried something again at home. Either way, you'll understand. Thank you for restoring both my nose and my sense of chaotic balance.

While in line though, saw specials they had for piercings and I've always wanted to get a 2nd piercing on my ear lobes and re pierce my left helix. So, I filled out forms for each!
