    I have never done a walk in before for a tattoo appointment, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Everyone was so friendly and Chris took great care of me. He used my reference photo and drew me an original design on the spot. I would also like to note that the pricing was very affordable, especially compared to other shops I've been to in the past. Thank you Chris for helping me out today; I got exactly what I came for and more :)

    My tattoo result

    My daughter and her friend received more complex tattoos the day before by Sol. I went in thinking mine would be easy for them and I had been wanting for quite some time to get this. Just never had the time. Sol was cleaning shop when I came in so I was tattooed by "E-Josh" who said he'd been tattooing for 8 years. It's horrible. He didn't even try to follow the stencil he put on. I provided the photo and gave him the time to create the stencil. Now I have to waste money fixing it. Even if it was filled in , i dont think it would of made it any better so i stopped him. I'm very upset. This is awful

    In this pic, the script is fully healed and the roses are fresh.

    I've been here multiple times. Sol is a knowledgeable, talented, humble artist. I told him what I had in mind and he quickly drew up a beautiful design. I'm very glad I trusted him to come up with something.. The fine line work he did is absolutely perfect! Over the last few years, I've seen many other awesome tattoos come from Dependable. All of the artists are friendly and do top-notch work. I'll definitely be returning!

    After about 2 years the tattoo has held pretty well. Some of the lines just aren't even or consistent. Overall I'm still happy with the tattoo but I just wish those lines were consistent.

    Went in here with my sister as walk ins. The shop is super clean, tactfully decorated, with soothing music, and a crazy good vibe. We went in to get matching tattoos and just knew we wanted simple swallows on our wrists. Sol Keen drew is up something really quick and it was exactly what we wanted. He was very organized and super clean and professional. He is also crazy knowledgeable about tattoos, ink, local area stuff, and meanings behind different tattoos. I was so impressed. I went first and it took him about 10 minutes to do mine. It didn't really hurt at all. My sister went next and it was quick and mostly painless (her first ink) for her as well. Overall we are crazy happy with our experience.

    I came in as a Walk-In not knowing what to expect, I knew basically what I wanted but not the placement and Jesse Helms got me in right away and with a great price! He did such outstanding job and nailed this tattoo !!! Really a talented artist we can't wait to go back to him, I'm not a hugger but I had to give this guy a hug I really appreciated his time ! The shop is clean w/ alot of art to check out. I definitely recommend this place 100%.

    Very talented, knowledgeable artists! They definitely live up to their name.. Excellent, "dependable" work.

    Jaime at Universal is amazing! I won a free tattoo with her and she listened to every aspect of the…read moretattoo that I wanted as a redemption memorial piece for my grandma (my other one has to be covered, it's so bad!) What won the contest was me mentioning that I wanted to get a pray mantis, and Jaime had found one on the front door of the shop. She snapped a few pictures of it, traced it, and that's he little dude we put in there. We did an olive branch because my grandmas first job was picking olives, and my daughter's name is Olive. A California poppy because I'm born and raised in Northern California. And pink azaleas because I had one in the front yard of my child hood home. My experience was top tier, Jaime was awesome and I'm so grateful for the experience. Thank you again Jaime.

    I came to Universal Rites in search for a studio that had good vibes and talented artists. My first…read moreimpressions of the studio were, it's clean, the lobby was welcoming and had good seating with a portfolio of each artists work. I was greeted by one of the Tattoo Artists, Raul. Raul greeted me as I walked into the studio and quickly made me feel at home and walked me through all of the different Tattoo Artists work and booth areas. I left my contact information for a consultation with Raul and was contacted the very next day to begin my tattoo journey. Raul got me into his booth for tattooing the design I chose two weeks later from my consult. I have gotten over 36 hours of tattoo work done in the past. Hands down, my experience at Universal Rites Tattoo was one of my better experiences while getting tattooed. Raul's booth had a super comfortable table to lie on while being tattooed, his tattoo machines are newer models that don't hurt like the older machines used to and his booth was filled with art that he hand painted himself. Raul's work shows for itself, his line work is some of the best I've come across. My tattoo process was seamless, damn near painless and some of the more affordable prices I've come across. I'm excited to keep scheduling more future work through this studio and hopefully try out the other great Artists who work there.
