I can't say enough good things about Bonnie at Black Pearl Tattoo…read more I came in needing a really difficult cover-up, and honestly, I wasn't sure what was even possible. Bonnie completely blew my mind with the result. She took something I wanted to hide and turned it into a true work of art. Her talent, attention to detail, and ability to reimagine the piece went way beyond my expectations. On top of that, she made the whole experience comfortable and collaborative from start to finish. I'm incredibly grateful I found her. If you're even thinking about getting a tattoo especially a cover-up go see Bonnie. I recommend her to everyone.

Her creativity, attention to detail, and steady hand are on a whole different level. She takes my ideas and turns them into something even better than I imagined. The shop was clean, welcoming, and professional, and she is patient with every question I had. The actual tattooing was smooth, and the results...Flawless. Crisp lines, perfect shading, and a design that genuinely feels like a piece of art. I've already gotten so many compliments! If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their craft and their clients, this is the artist you want. I'm already planning my next piece. Highly, highly recommend!

I followed Joey here from a shop in San Jose, and very happy I did! Not only do I love Joey, the…read moreshop had a really nice vibe. I really liked how the stations were intimate, and all the art work on the walls was very cool to look at. Everyone seemed extremely friendly as well. Joey is professional, a great artist and always puts me at ease. And he always makes sure I'm 100% happy with the work. He even touched up my husband's work on the fly! We will continue coming here for sure. Pro tip - cash only! But there is an ATM at the coffee shop across the street.

I've had a challenging medical year so the retainers have had to go in a few times and have also been bumped out "a few times" too. I thought my vertical rook-conch industrial was done for this time I woke up from septorhino revision and the first thing I noticed is my ear hurts like hell lol. Can barely talk. Nose is still in a cast and broken. I knew where to go. I came in looking like a monster but didn't feel judged here. Adam has always done a great job, but these were Winter's days. They clearly hold high standards for all their piercers very gentle with my ear and let me know what's going on no jump scares and they give honest assessment of the piercing. They saved it. They really saved my industrial. This one looked crazy angry I was so sure it was done for and salvaging whatever I could would be painful, but I didn't even feel a pinch. Great job! I can't wait for these to heal so I can get more :) and I will definitely trust them with the next set of spicy piercings I have planned. Also got a new chain and a dangling piece was really hoping to get hoops but they aren't ready yet and I trust their good judgement. Very pretty I'm so happy they had it in stock. Thanks Winter and Adam!! :) :) :)

Honestly, I'm really disappointed with the tattoo I got from Patrick. I asked for a simple "777"…read moreand somehow it still came out looking uneven, shaky, and poorly placed. The linework is messy, and it just doesn't look clean or intentional. It felt rushed and like very little care was put into the process. No attention to detail, no effort to make sure it was centered or precise. I expected way more from a professional shop, especially for something simple. Definitely wouldn't recommend getting tattooed by Patrick unless you're okay with mediocre work. Save yourself the regret.
