    My fav, this far! Artist: cody lee, hes been working on my leg for a little bit I cant wait to get more.
    Astrid S.

    Shout out cody for starting off my leg. On my tattoo journey. Cant wait to see what other amazing work is in store for us! I personally love that he makes you feel comfortable and the vibes are aways calm and chill prices are great.

    Half sleeve work done by Cody

    Love this shop and always a great tattoo and experience with Cody here. He has done all of my tattoos that I have and they always come out great. Prices are great and so is the care.

    Cody Lee is awesome and fast! I fell asleep during most of the process. I would highly recommend checking out Empire Tattoo.

    Jayson being a weirdo.

    I got stalked from Jayson, who also did a terrible job on my finger tattoo (super crooked and not straight). He hit my friend up twice asking me on a date after I trusted him with tattooing my body. This man is twice my age. Not only that, I didn't get my 5 minute tattoo until about 1am. This is super unprofessional and makes me EXTREMELY uncomfortable so just a heads up this is who works there.

    Empire Tattoo is exceedingly recommended. The atmosphere is rad, kickback, and the vibe is on point. Every artist is welcoming, relaxed, and dedicated to their talent. Cody Lee's persistence for perfection is well sought out, as is his extremely classic and well-educated tattoo experience. Having an artist who understands what you are looking for and brings artwork to life is a must; Cody meets those expectations and standards. Creating a piece that is original and fitted for your lifestyle. Cody's craft and creativity speaks highly through each piece of line_work and canvas tattoos. If you are looking for a badass artist, schedule that appointment with Cody @EmpireTattoo-Redlands. . . . #wickedAF #inktd @codyleetattoo

    great work! Juan ParRandi's a great job! he was able to draw my tattoo with only a few days notice.

    He did the rose and the butterfly

    I have been going to Cody for almost a year now and he never disappoints, always goes above and beyond with the tattoos. He is very good at what he does and it's over in just a breeze cuz he sets the vibes with great music . I love every experience and can't wait to get more ink .. Here are just a few.

    I have been going to Cody over the last several years. He definitely makes you feel comfortable. He is very talented; Cody has always done an awesome job on all my tats. He pays attention to details, lines are even. Best part my tats always heal very well.

    Great tattoo piece by Cody
    Wendy B.

    I've gotten many tattoos from Cody at empire. He's always professional and king. Makes sure you're takin care of. And I love all the work he's done. I've had him do a lot of the meaningful tattoos on me too and they all turn out amazing every time. So patient and calming when you're stressed about the pain. Totally recommend him!!

    Nichole H.

    Highly recommend Cody Lee if your looking for a great tattoo artist his work is awesome. I get so many compliments everyday on my tattoos on how colorful and great the lining is.The place is also so Comfortable with a chill atmosphere

    I got tattooed by Hayden and it was one of the best experiences, he did my first tattoo so I was definitely nervous... he made my experience so good and even drew my perfect tattoo so it's exactly what I envisioned!! He always brings in a friendly and fun vibe so you are comfortable. He took his time and his work is very nice. I wanted line work but he suggested adding a little shading which brought my tattoo to life!!! I've had my tattoo for over a year now and I get so many compliments on it and it still looks amazing!! I definitely recommend getting tattooed by Hayden and I can't wait for my next one I posted my tattoo fresh and healed. Still looks amazing!

    just went back for another one. its small and beautiful just what I wanted. He does an amazing job Juan

He was patient on adding or removing things from the design and didn't push for anything, but was honest about if something may not work well. She had a great time and wants to go back for another. He wasn't able to do mine that day because he wanted to put more time into and I was super impressed with the honesty and enthusiasm he had for the idea. He added in so much more than I thought and I love it! I've had other tattoos but this was the longest sitting I've done and my largest. He gave breaks, checked in, and explained what step he was at, at every check in. For the details on workspace and cost: very clean environment, adherence to keeping things sanitized (couldn't give my wife a high five because he'd put on the gloves but gave an elbow bump in solidarity), and good, transparent pricing. There were no sudden switch ups in price and front desk service was excellent. I came in on a pretty slow day and everyone there was super nice. Excellent vibes and just a great experience. Will be going back!

    Was looking for my 5yo daughters first piercing and went with Jingles due to having multiple…read morereviews in dealing with young kids. Called ahead the day before to check his availability and make sure he was ready for a kid and he was friendly and said he was available anytime so to roll in when we were ready. When we got there the next day he met us at the front and was super friendly and immediately made my daughter (and son who tagged along) feel comfortable. We did the quick paperwork thing but it was super streamlined and an easy process. My wife even decided to sneak in another piercing and he was super cool about it and didn't hesitate to do both of them. His patience and professionalism were both top notch for my wife he took the time to show her a couple different ways hers could be done and didn't rush her on a decision. My daughter went next and though it was just a traditional lobe he took his time marking the dot and even double checked the symmetry with calipers (he nailed it first shot) he was up front yet comforting at the same time walking her through the process and had everything ready to go and efficiently knocked out both earrings quick and painless. Jingles is definitely our go to guy for my wife's next piercings and my daughters next ones ( in 10 or so years) and also our go to recommendation from here forward. His prices were extremely fair so please trust me, spend the few extra dollars and ditch Claire's and go to a professional!! Side note all the artists at Paragon had some great work posted so I will be definitely checking them out for my next tattoo.

I came in based off the "Good" reviews only to come in and meet a guy with a tone and bad vibe. Mind you I also called before driving 30 minutes to this "reputable" piercer. He gave me a quote, stated he had multiple "styles" of jewelry I asked about and when I arrived there- the jewelry I asked for- he didnt even have.. Wtf! Then had an attitude about it, didnt apologize for wasting my time nor tried to offer anything else to help the fact I drove over for piercings he knew he couldn't provide.. He didnt care at all. All he had to say was well bring the jewelry yourself- which was pretty unprofessional. Although he stated he had what I needed on the phone. Either way, I definitely don't recommend this guy if you're a minority. He's only "nice" to the people who look like himself if you understand what I mean :) -3/10 surely He will try to change his behavior towards customers after someone leaves a review about it.

For anyone wanting to come: please beware of the fact that they are closed form 4-5 PM for lunch. I came on a Saturday afternoon to a sign posted on the door stating the closure. After perusing at UV for a bit over an hour, they reopened, However, when I returned, I was told that they would no longer be offering services for the remainder of the day due to their piercer leaving early. Typically, they announce such same-day service disruptions on their social media but (for whatever reason), did not in this day. Had I known, I would've stuck with my original plan of going to another shop when we found out. It is crucial to note that there were other customers sitting in the lobby waiting (for what I presume were piercing services). While Laughing Buddha offers an expansive selection of jewelry, their pieces are far from inexpensive. Their staff is usually helpful but may have a condescending tone? I've messaged their owner about this and a separate instance from a couple years ago and received a sincere apology. Since then, I've noticed that there has definitively been a drastic improvement in their customer experience.
