As my first tattoo, I was really nervous about committing to a specific artist. But I looked at…read moretheir work instagram and on their website and I loved their style. I emailed them and got a response within a day and they were very patient with going back and forth with me about the design. I paid $100 for deposit before they started making a draft for the design. Originally my appointment was late October but rescheduled for mid November. I got there at 1:02 because I got lost in the plaza. The shop is so cozy. It helped with my nerves and they also offered drinks such as coffee or water. Olena had me sit and presented me the sketch that she combined. I was a bit picky with the placement but she helped me pick a spot and I'm glad I went with it. My session ended at 3:50 and we started 1:30. I cried when I got home cause now my Mando will forever be with me. Thank you Olena.

I walked into Savage Tattoo Studio with one goal in mind: To honor my late dog Zoey with a piece…read morethat felt personal, peaceful, and full of heart. What I left with was a stunning California poppy inked by the ridiculously talented Meka--complete with Zoey's paw print and her name, gracefully woven into the stem like she's still walking beside me. This isn't just a tattoo. It's a full-on tribute to Zoey. The shading, linework, flow of the poppy petals--it's like Meka pulled the memory out of my heart and etched it into my skin with warmth and precision. The color? California sunshine meets deep love. Meka is the vibe that shines and she's calm, funny, and focused. Chill enough to put you at ease instantly, but don't be fooled--this woman is a detail ninja. Her energy made the experience feel more like catching up with a friend who just happens to be drawing magic on your leg. The whole studio deserves props too. Clean, artistic, and full of cool humans who made the whole process smooth and super fun. No awkward energy, no "too-cool-for-you" vibes--just good convo, great art, and music that had me rocking to the session. Final verdict: Whether you're getting your first piece or adding to your story. This place is a gem. Savage Tattoo Studio isn't just about tattoos--it's about honoring life, love, and memories in a way that lasts. And Meka? She's the artist who made Zoey bloom again.

My last review of 2024 will be going to Paw Tattoo! :)…read more On 12.08.24, I got my tattoo done of my beloved little love, Moki. It took two sessions to complete my tattoo, but it is so very worth it to have my Moki with me forever. Booking was pretty easy as I waited for the announcement to book for December, and I requested for an appointment. I let Jia know my design idea and attached the photo references. During my appointment, we worked together to finalize the tattoo design. Then it was go time for my tattoo. This is my first and only tattoo, and I absolutely LOVE it! Jia did an incredible job at creating my Moki tattoo. The first session was good with barely any pain, but the second session had some painful moments. Paw Tattoo studio is very pretty in pink, and there's a chill vibe with the lovely music playing. I'm so very happy, and my heart is so fulfilled that I have my Moki with me forever and always. If you're looking to get your beloved furbaby tattooed on you, Jia is THE tattoo artist for that. Thank you so much, Jia, for my beautiful Moki tattoo. :)
