I couldn't be happier with my experience with C.J. Ugarte. This tattoo is incredibly meaningful to…read moreme, and I'm so grateful to have found an artist who not only understood my vision but elevated it with his own creative touch. He took something so personal and turned it into a piece of art that exceeded anything I could have imagined. The attention to detail, precision, and care C.J. put into every part of the process truly stood out. From start to finish, the experience was professional, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. I walked away with a unique piece that I'll be proud to wear and show off for the rest of my life. Thank you, C.J., for creating something so special. I can't recommend you enough, and I already can't wait to come back for my next piece!

I was so excited about going to this place and when I arrived, I was helped by a very nice woman…read morethat unfortunately, had terrible body odor. It was overwhelming. I tried to disregard and continued through the process of selecting an earring and place to pierce my ear, but when I went to the bathroom just before the piercing, I nearly threw up. The stench and condition of the bathroom was worse than any rest stop public restroom I've ever been in. By the time u laid down on the table for the piercing, once again her body odor was so overwhelming, I couldn't handle another second and had to make an excuse that I was having 2nd thoughts. I had such high hopes for this place and would love to try again if this is resolved.

Nervously walking in after making the decision of getting my nose pierced, Sweet Leaf staff made me…read morefeel safe immediately. I was greeted with a smile and the process was explained to me. I chose the jewelry I preferred and then I waited for a few minutes while the technician went to prepare everything to be sterilized for the procedure. It didn't take long before I was called in. She explained how the process would go and some of the things I would experience which was very helpful to me. The procedure itself had a quick painful moment. It didn't last long at all. Before I realized, we were done and my nose was sparkling with my new piece of jewelry! I wish I remember the name of the technician to give her a shout out, but if you're reading this, you were awesome :) Afterwards, I was explained the healing process and how I needed to take care of my new nose ring. Overall, it was a great experience. I think most importantly to me is that the staff made me feel safe, welcomed, and I felt informed of what was about to happen which me being nervous, made a huge difference! Ps. I think the nose ring looks epic ;) thank you!

As you first drive in the parking is located at the back of the building. To get to the parking. You have to drive between two building. There is plenty of parking. Once you enter the building. The decorations are pretty neat. The tattoo parlor is to your left. It is an interesting place to visit because of the decor. I saw old fashion dolls around. It was diferent. The store is to the right side. No photography allowed inside (bummer) inside is a store. An odd type of store. Is like stuff that was left from a freak show back in the day. It is really earie. I felt like I was in American Horror Story Carnival. It was very cool. They have a sign at the entrance. The sign reads something like browsing is welcome and that donations are appreciated. Not exactly on those words lol. So if you are browsing like me. You might want to bring a few dollars.

unsatisfied and felt lied to…read more I booked this appointment 3 months in advance with a clearance on size, reference, and placement with Rafael and his assistant. Upon arrival Rafael drew something up to his liking of my reference but it was completely different than what I was expecting. In minor shock I was silent. I have two full stomach tattoos, 3 portraits, a half leg sleeve, and a back neck tattoo all done by differing artist and none have ever changed what i wanted so drastically. Rafael felt my vibe being off and then offered me to work with him on what we could do. Not dead set on the tattoo I originally showed him 3 months in advance I asked if he did portraits as I would like one more. He pointed to one that I already had and blatantly asked "why don't you just go back to that artist?". Once again I was taken aback by the comment. After discussing not doing another tattoo we set back on track for the original reference and idea I provided. He drew something much closer to what I wanted but I asked for more detail. He assured me there would be more detail in the actual tattoo than in the drawing. He also assured me that the sizing wasn't an issue and would connect to my other tattoos. After he was 'finished' neither promises were kept. The tattoo looks unfinished in detailing especially in comparison to what I asked for and in the look of my tattoo style. The tattoo also does not fade into my other tattoo shading. This is so disappointing as he had an apprentice with him who was listening to Rafael call himself extremely talented and gifted and naturally amazing at tattooing. This also left me so unsatisfied I decided to pay and leave as he did not want to (or could not) do what I asked for. I will now have to spend more money with a different artist to finish what he started.

My main gripe? My friends got tattooed by someone else who was fairly unprofessional. Don't remember his name now but he left one of my friend's tattoos unfinished and kept texting during the tattooing, and using the phone to free draw a tattoo, which made no sense considering you get it stenciled on your before hand. Overall, I had a great experience, and I love my ink. Can't rec my dude enough ^_^

Black water is one of Hollywood's hidden gems and a great low key spot to get a tattoo…read more I spoke to Matilde via text and she got me a ton of quick information. She let me know about the process, walk ins, bookings, etc. She was definitely friendly and professional. We walked in around 845pm and met with Erick. My wife had a few ideas and he was quick to react. He showed confidence that you want from a tattoo artist but he also offered his opinion to avoid compromising the piece which sometimes leads to a bad tattoo. He gave us the price, which was the shop min, and we were rolling. He took the time to sketch it out and explain how the tattoo would be placed and look. He also showed us, every step, how the process worked and how everything was clean and sterile. After a quick stencil placement, the tattoo was started and completed in about 5 minutes. (Quill) His calm demeanor and friendly disposition lead to a second tattoo which wasn't even planned. Another conversation and sketch and we were into number two. This one came with a little more detail but Erick did a great job. He talked with my wife the whole way and kept her focused on being calm and just enjoying the process. This one took a little longer due to the additional detail but it came out just as good. (Palm tree, sun and the word Breathe) Ericks talent is only rivaled by his easy going mentality. I would recommend him to anybody who wants not only a great tattoo, but a fantastic overall tattoo experience. We will back to black water to ask for Erick.

I went back and waited 10 minutes before being acknowledged and was quickly dismissed and told that I need to clean my jewelry and using saline (what I've used to clean my piercings for the past 7 years as most people do) is what's causing more grime to enter the jewelry . They told me to purchase an ultra sonic machine off Amazon and after I did so and used it a few times, over the course of two weeks, my jewelry only oxidized further. Had to buy new jewelry from another local place and they confirmed that this happens when the jewelry is low quality. I feel like I wasted my money replacing my jewelry twice within 2 months and I felt brushed off when I came looking for answers.

I really didn't want to have to write this review, but I felt like I really needed to because I…read morefeel that I don't want other people to have the same experience that I did. I was referred to Babylon by a lot of my friends because they all said great things about the piercer. They said that she was nice and does a great job and to definitely go there because you will get a really good job done. I also read the reviews and I think that the person that they saw was Jess. So I went with my mom and I got the notarized consent form to get a nostril piercing. When I got there, I was told that Jess no longer works there and they said that the new piercer will take care of me so I didn't really think anything of it because I felt that if the reviews were good about the old piercer the new piercer should be just as good so I decided to get the piercing because I was already there with my mom. My nose piercing was not good at all. She was shaking the whole time and made me feel very uneasy. The whole nose piercing was very painful. After it was done, it was so uncomfortable that it made me scared and I had to go to another shop to have it looked at by another piercer. That piercer told me that it was the wrong jewelry and that it was too small and not the right thing to be pierced with to start. I had to get it changed and my mom had to pay for not only my nostril piercing at Babylon but also for the other person to put in a new jewelry to make the pain go away. She also didn't even tell me how I needed to take care of it. The piercer that fixed my nostril piercing told me that I was supposed to be given aftercare instructions and I was not told anything. This was supposed to be something that I was looking forward to and it only ended up being very painful and unpleasant for me. I don't understand why if somebody doesn't work at a place anymore that people are made to think that they do when the reviews are good. I was expecting a good experience like all my friends had. I am definitely not going back. I hope that anybody reading this doesn't go here either.
