If there was an option of leaving a billion stars- for MIKE MCASKILL, I would in a heart beat cuz 1000000000/100000000 would recommend!!!!!! Environment: sterile and clean, duh Ambiance: mega chill, duh Vibes: immaculate, duh Service: amazing, duh 10/10 effortless artist, 10/10 tattoo-er, 10/10 business owner, I'm pretty sure a 10/10 husband/dad, & def 10/10 human being. Whatever you get, it will be the sickest work you'll EVER get on yourself. Anything you want or need - he'll nail it even better than you could ever imagine! Mike did my first tattoo back in 2022, and I've been going to him ever since. I will forever refer anyone to him who asks for recs . I was going through a very hard time in my life and basically embarrassingly spiraled in his shop during a consult for a back piece that I was unsure of. He is so patient, kind, considerate, humble, and such a safe space dude. There was NEVER any pressure, no negative energy/vibes, not EVER pushy or "sales"-y or do something other than you asked for because he "feels like it" or thinks "it would look better this way." He wants to make sure you're happy before proceeding with anything. Final boss of professionalism. All of my tattoos are from what my late Dad had, but I made each one my own in a traditional style and Mike has helped me bring the last pieces to life every time, every session. I'm truly grateful to have met him and greatly appreciate the person he is. May all tattoo artists take a page out of Mike's book and be like him. If you're hesitating on getting another one or if it's your first one- DO IT. GET IT DONE BY MIKE! K TYVM BYE! read more

I'm updating my original review for Darla because she's even better than she was last time somehow!!! All of Elizabeth St has good vibes, but this is about my experience with Darla specifically. Besides just being the absolute sweetest human, Darla was so accommodating for me. I appreciated that she communicated with me over email instead of Instagram as was my preference. Another thing I loved was that she redid stencil placement as many times as I needed without making me feel like I was being a nuisance. Darla has gone above and beyond in my experience, she's truly such a professional, I cannot recommend her more! I have been so happy with the way her work has aged on me as well, you cannot go wrong with choosing to be tattooed by her! read more

First visit here with my family. Bobby Joe was great. My family wanted to get family tattoos and Bobby was very patient and knowledgeable. Thank you for taking care of my family and I'm glad that you were the one to give them their first tattoos. We will be back and I definitely recommend this establishment to all seeking some great people and some excellent ink. read more

Absolutely amazing session! Went in for family tattoos, mom, dad and 2 kids (adults). Bobby Joe was amazing! Took his time to make sure everyone had exactly what they wanted. Did amazing work and we were all very satisfied. We will all be back for more! read more

This was my first tattoo. I'm 49 and my brother told me to get one before I turn 50. Martin was my artist and he made sure to answer all my questions and go over the process several times (cause I needed that) and then tattooed my wife lip mark on my shoulder while good music played.. I am so very pleased and my wife is happy as well and it was done so quickly and so carefully! Definitely going to ask for Martin again. read more

I went to Elizabeth St to get a tattoo. I did not know they were appointment only (I apparently didn't read the web site carefully), but they were super kind and welcoming. I got in touch with Martin. As you can see, Martin did an outstanding job. He took the idea that I provided and made it better. The detail of his work is exquisite. You can see variation in the bears fur, in the mountain rocks, and in the clouds. This was my first tattoo, and Martin was extremely helpful through the process. He explained what was happening and the different types of pain, which I found to be very accurate. I could not recommend him more highly. In fact, I am sending my brother to him as a birthday present. If you are considering a tattoo (black and white realism, like this one), then this is your guy. The studio is clean and the people are welcoming. Great studio. Outstanding artist. Such a great experience. read more

7 years ago David did a portrait of my dad who had passed away a couple years prior. I looked for a tattoo artist for about a year for this portrait because I wanted it done accurately and to represent my dad in the best way. David far exceeded my expectations. He was the nicest person, we communicated before and he knew exactly what I wanted. The day of he was nice, caring and just a great person to be around. The studio was clears and organized. I was there for about 9 hours and the whole time he checked in on me and really took care. Once we were done I was blown away. 7 years later and the tattoo still looks as amazing as it did when I first got it. It is the perfect honor to my dad, I still get asked about this tattoo almost daily and I have told so many people about who and where did this tattoo. Thank you David!! read more

David did an amazing job on this emotional piece I got in memory of my baby sister. His words of comfort during this session meant so much. Gave me the therapeutic energy for the grieving I was experiencing at the time. I look forward to my next tattoo with David. Such a colorful, beautiful butterfly. His work is will worth the price he asks. read more

Shop is private and clean. I'm fortunate to have had David Hamburg bless my arm sleeve. I was hesitant about transitioning from black and white to color tattoos but I'll definitely be sticking with Hamburg moving forward. He's a very intuitive, mindful, detail-oriented person and it's apparent in his work. We've done a few sessions together and not only is he an extremely talented artist, he's an all around dope, knowledgeable person. read more

I received a tattoo from David Hamburg. The work was great and David has great vision; however, I paid $1000 to book two days of tattooing with David which he said was 5-7 hours of tattooing each day. He said that was shop fees. I had to cancel the second day and came in for one. I even gave him 2 weeks heads up that I couldn't do the second day. The tattoo ended up costing $700 and was for 4 hours. When I went to schedule another visit, he did not honor that I already paid for two days and said that was forfeited. This was documented nowhere and was in no way clear and obvious. I essentially got a $1700 tattoo on my inner arm. This is ridiculous. He has since ignored my comms and I can't recommend him to anyone. It feels very shady and I've never been ripped off this much by an artist in the 22 years I've been getting tattoos. I plan to post this review on all media to prevent anyone else experiencing this. read more

This shop was suggested to me by my best friend. She has been coming here for years and hasn't been disappointed, so decided to give it a shot. I booked my appointment with Darla. The whole experience was a 20/20. This was my first large tattoo. Going into it I was very nervous. Darla is a true professional! She has such a light hand and a sweet and calming disposition. She was attentive and made sure I was comfortable for the entire session. Not only was working with Darla a pleasure, but the rest of the staff in the shop was enjoyable and friendly as well! I walked away from my appointment completely satisfied and will 100% be returning for all my future pieces as well! Thank you so much to Darla and the staff at Elizabeth St. Tattoo for creating such a comfortable Experience! read more

I reached out to Bobby based on his great reviews online. He was quick to respond and schedule an appointment. He made the design exactly how I wanted and was more than willing to tweak it to my liking. He was chill and so easy to talk to it made the 4 hours fly by and seem painless. I highly recommend this shop and Bobby as an artist. read more

First and foremost, @HAMBURGINK is a very talented artist and I am more than happy that he is at your tattoo shop. To anyone reading this, if you want one of the best portraits or custom art work done on YOU that you know will last a lifetime...I can assure you that it will be one of the best pieces of artwork you will be more then happy to show off to your loved ones and even strangers around the world.. Don't believe me? Check his instagram. The staff is awesome themselves too just an FYI. Now I know we all have our own interests, but I cannot doubt this man. He is not only passionate and disciplined about his work in each and every single client because he knows how special getting a tattoo is for that individual. He truly cares about you even though you are a stranger. This man understands that getting a tattoo is a special moment in your own lifetime, but aside from tattooing, Hamburgink is family man who he truly loves without a question and it shows. Words don't suffice, check out his artwork, talk to him or talk to the shop yourself. This shop does not lack in artists. The fact that I'm writing this review should prove that because I never write reviews. HE IS WELL ROUNDED Y'ALL! Check the pics out. Hope this helps someone out there choose their artists from this shop. read more

Elizabeth Street Tattoo is an awesome shop in the heart of Riverside. You can literally find any artist there to fit your aesthetic. My main dude is David Hamburg... you know how Harry Potter creates magic with his wand? Well Mr. Hamburg creates pure magic with that nifty tattoo gun. Obviously the photos of my arm progression so far speak for themselves as to his talent, but this review deserves far more than just that. If you're looking for a true artist to not only capture your vision, but absolutely freakin deliver a masterpiece on your body, he's the guy to go see. His personality is top notch, super friendly, easy to talk to and never not in a great mood. Dave is SUPER knowledgeable in so many different aspects of his art, he takes his time to ensure your body doesn't suffer any trauma, he knows the way your skin works, how different color schemes are going to work together, the list goes on and on... I mean you could literally pick his brain your entire session and leave astounded with so many new questions to ask him. Check out his Instagram @hamburgink to see all the amazing work he's done. Go see him, you will not leave disappointed, instead you'll be leaving with your next session already on the books. read more

Great tattoo, clean lines, not too much pain. Overall great experience with Bobby Joe! He provided a laid back and fun vibe and kept a really good conversation with me.

I can't even begin to express my appreciation to Darla for going above and beyond to make my tattoo happen. After going into a couple other local tattoo shops and being fed various reasons why they wanted to alter my vision I was left confused and frustrated at the apparent lack of talent in the Riverside tattoo scene.... til I contacted Elizabeth St Tattoo. I sent info via email, was responded to promptly and referred to Darla who contacted me back to schedule a consultation within 48 hours. As soon as I sat with her she put me at ease laughing with me about the fact other artists in the area said they "couldn't get detail in a knife that small" and I should just "leave it out entirely". (I should note they were all made aware I wanted a fairly large piece and the sizing never fluctuated.) A week after consult I was getting inked. The shop is nice and spacious, the artists are all friendly and fun and seem to get along well. Definitely a great experience! In the end I got EXACTLY what I wanted, it's gorgeous and I LOVE IT! THANK YOU DARLA AND THE ELIZABETH ST. TATTOO TEAM! read more

I was so nervous to get a work from a different shop fixed but Darla was everything I was looking for in an artist! I sent her SO many reference photos because I kept changing my mind but she somehow came up with the perfect design and her lines are as crisp as a piece of toast. The space is super clean, well taken care of, and you can tell the artists care about what they do. Couldn't be happier with my experience and I would happily come here again:) read more

Xander was the artist I was suggested to have my work done by. This ribbon containing a simplified nes controller, fork and knife (yeah that's supposed to be a fork and knife) and music note is my wedding finger tattoo. So it's VERY special to me. Note this was done 2 years ago and it is on a finger so I expected some ink fall out BUT I have several finger tattoos I did myself that are still solid. But I'm not even upset at the ink fall out. I'm upset that I spent $300 on this 4" ribbon of rushed work. From the first day it was uneven and unfinished looking. And I sent him the design over a week prior and he drew it the morning of, so that was rushed also. Like if you're only doing it for money, and you're going to do a shit job, send me somewhere else. $300 for what I got is ridiculous over priced. Then when I tried to post after I first got it done he asked if I'd remove the post because the pics weren't taken by him. I honestly think he was not pleased with his work. So now I'm here. Showcasing it. read more

I decided to get some ink done as an early Christmas gift, so I went in and checked out their shop. Everyone there was really friendly and welcoming. I talked to Bobby and made an appointment with him. I went in a week later to get my tattoos done. From the moment I walked into the shop, he was very nice and explained the whole procedure to me. As this was my first time getting inked, he made sure that my experience was going smoothly, talking to me and asking how I was doing throughout the whole process. I was very satisfied with his work and how he did his best to be gentle with me throughout the session. I would definitely recommend their shop to anyone and I look forward to getting some more work done with Bobby in the future! read more

Went to Darla for my work and she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Her artwork was way better than what I was expecting, she did her own version of what I asked for and I'm so glad she went her own direction with it. Booking process was easy and straight forward, her rates and deposit were communicated clearly and right in line with the estimate she gave me as far as how long she thought it would take to finish. Super happy with the overall experience! Booked a second appointment while I was there, she has a bit of a wait but thats fine with me, well worth the wait. Thank you Darla! read more

I came here a few years back and liked my experience. I tried to schedule a tattoo with Josh Harkey and he was very laggy when emailing him. Finally was able to set a date & time & I sent a deposit. Then the morning of, Josh emails me saying he "doesn't feel comfortable tattooing another artists work." I really wish he would've said something earlier & possibly drawn up another style of what we wanted instead of just cancelling the day of. Will not be recommending this place to anyone. read more

Darla did a wonderful job on my tattoos last night! She took time to chat with me before our session and really captured my dog and cat for my two pieces. The shop was clean and cool too. I was looking for an artist with clean lines and someone I connected with, since you know, they're doing something personal and permanent on your body! I found that in Darla and completely trusted her. I got my corgi Wesley and my cat Baxter! read more
