I'd been itching to get a new tattoo and finding Brien on Instagram during his apprenticeship at Ink Fiend was perfect timing. I hit him up, showed him what I had in mind, and made an appointment. Throughout the entire process, Brien was professional, super personable, and made me feel comfortable. I couldn't be happier with how my tattoo turned out! I highly recommend him and will be back for more in the future! The shop is clean, has a great atmosphere, and everyone was friendly. Another plus is there is tons of street parking! read more

I started my first sleeve with Brandon, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. We went with a dragon and koi fish design, and from the very first consultation, Brandon really understood the vision I had in mind. Brandon made the whole process smooth and comfortable. He's not only incredibly talented with the needle, but also super professional, patient, and easy to talk to. His attention to detail, line work, and shading are next-level. You can tell he truly cares about his craft and takes pride in delivering high-quality work. The studio was clean, organized, and had a chill vibe that made it easy to relax during long sessions. I've gotten so many compliments on the tattoo already, and it's not even finished yet. If you're thinking about getting a tattoo--especially a large piece--Brandon is absolutely someone you can trust. Can't wait to go back and finish the rest of the sleeve! read more

I got a Foo Dog and dragon piece done by Ben at Inkfiend, and let me just say--this man is an artist in every sense of the word. I came in with a general idea and some reference pics, and he took it to a whole other level. The flow, the detail, the balance between the fierce Foo Dog and the dynamic dragon--it's next level. Ben's line work is clean, his shading is super smooth, and he has a crazy eye for detail. You can tell he really respects the art form and puts in the work to make sure everything is proportioned and powerful. The way he brought out the personality in both creatures while still making them blend as one cohesive piece is wild. On top of that, the shop is clean, professional, and welcoming. Ben's super easy to talk to, doesn't rush, and makes sure you're comfortable through the whole process. Healing has been great--no issues, colors and details still popping. If you're thinking about getting something bold, traditional, or just flat-out badass--go to Ben. Foo Dogs, dragons, whatever your vision is--he'll elevate it. read more

This review is long overdue. I had gotten a horrible tattoo done at another shop and after 4 painful sessions of laser the tattoo was still there. I found this gem of a studio online after doing my research. I reached out to the owner mastermike and he referred me to an artist that was perfect for the job. The awards on the wall with magazine covers and countless accolades speak for themselves. I now have a tattoo that I get compliments on every time I am in a swimsuit and the old tattoo does not even show a little. People are surprised when I tell them it was a cover up. Life changing experience and I recommend them to everyone looking for a tattoo read more

Appointments/ follow-up: The appointment process was easy. I did a walk in for consultation and was greeted upon entering. Prices were transparent and fully explained. I ended up choosing Richard as my artist. Reaching out to Richard was mostly done via text. Replies are usually within the hour as (could be in a session). Communication was excellent and thoughtfully explained. Depending on your budget, there are various skilled artists there for you to choose from. I can guarantee that everyone does awesome work and everyone has their own little unique personality when it comes to designing the work within any of the parameters you provide them. Design: I opted to give Richard free creative reign as I believe it's more about buying a piece of artwork than dictating exactly what I want. Of course I was open to suggestion and had a rough idea of what I wanted but you better believe that they will take your idea and run with it. I haven't had any negatives to critique about from all the sessions I've been there and also looking at the other artist's work in progress, they do really good work. You aren't just another customer or a person with a dollar sign on your back. Each piece that goes out of their shop represents their brand, effort, and soul. Parking/shop: Parking is a bit harder to do. It's mostly street parking in front of the store. I had to do quick refreshers on how to parallel park... not fun to refresh on the spot. There are signs that say parking is only for x number of hours but they are never enforced so don't need to worry in case you do see those signs. The store might be hard to find but if you look closely enough you'll see where the entrance is. The store is medium sized... I was a little intimidated going in as there were people sitting on the sofa and everyone else in the shop was heavily tattooed but as soon as I spoke up, everyone was really courteous and nice . Sessions: Usually the first session (mine was a full sleeve) the outline is done. From what I know, no numbing cream can be used... the numbing cream that they have is much better than the other brands that I have tried (for different applications) but theirs is by far better. You'll probably need them later on in the other session but (I'm weak sauce) or you can tough it out. They do recommend hustle butter but I never really liked that oily feel so I opted to use Mad Rabbit. This is purely a personal choice as I'm sure there are also many great other after care products. Maybe it was me or I'm just really weak sauce but each session felt more intense than the rest. As a curtesy I would bring a clean towel and deodorant so that you can clean and tidy up periodically. Environment: As everyone is doing their own work(clients) it's ok during breaks to take a look at the other people's work. (I had to take quite a few smoke breaks...no they weren't code for me trying to run and hide- though tempted) but everyone here treats you nicely. After a few sessions you really feel like family here - they treat you like family as well. If I had the ability I would do another session but... I can't take anymore pain so.. maybe in another life. Overall: I would totally recommend this place. You enter as a customer and you leave as family. They will take care of you. Hope to see you guys again but who knows when that will happen. Thank you Richard for your work on my sleeve. read more

My wife and I were looking for an artist to do a cover up on my wife's upper thigh area. It was important to both of us that we found an artist that we were comfortable with. That's when we found Felly aka felicityinkfiendart. She's personable, easy to convey what we wanted, and simply said blessed with so much talent The cover up turned out awesome! From there I've had a full arm sleeve done by Felly and currently getting a half leg sleeve. My wife has since started on a full outer leg sleeve done by Felly as well. In total we've been coming to Inkfiend for 2 years now and can't wait to see what pieces we'll be getting next. The vibe of the shop is awesome! Everyone from Master Mike, to Daryl, Ben, Adam, Steven, Jay, and the rest of the Inkfiend crew are great! They're all top notch artists and highly recommended! read more

I would assume anyone getting something on their body forever would want this kind of mind set! Loved it. I also got my leg sleeve done by Adam at Inkfiend and nothing but amazing things to say. The man keeps getting better and better each day and I can't wait to see him win a trophy at a tattoo convention soon. Inkfiend has been my favorite tattoo studio I have ever been too and I have recommended many friends to come here due to the professionalism and great energy this place brings.

I'm 31 now and would love to get some more work done by Mike someday. I always felt like family every time I was in here to get work done, even though my body would feel beat the hell up after 8 hours of work lol. I'd recommend this place to anybody interested in the Inkfiend Art style. Been like 6 years since I've been back but I follow most of the artists here and love all their work.

I sent an email to Master Mike at 10:30pm last Saturday expecting to get a reply the next business day, but nope. He replied right away and connected me with an amazing artist. The artist took the concept I sent to them and made it 100 times better, so it is not a rip off pinterest. If you're looking for a tattoo, this is the place to go!

Where do I even begin. I met Mike about 18 years ago now and he's literally treated me like family since day 1. I'm really really particular with my stuff, and it's safe to say, he's one of the best Asian tattoo artists there is. Got a few pieces done, full touch ups, and I'll be back again soon for my last piece. Tattoos hurt, but I actually enjoy the whole session chatting it up w Mike and seeing him go through his process and work. Real stand up guy that creates crazy detailed art, just check his instagram.

I was referred to Inkfiend Art Studio in Alhambra from a good friend of mine that I have known for almost 20 years. It all started with me being frustrated as I spent years of searching for the right place to get my tattoo by doing my home work by taking the time to read the reviews as they say, "The proof is in the pudding!". Being that I had envisioned this specific tatoo for almost 3 years and going through so many bad experiences I had to make sure it was the perfect place as I am a big believer that you get what you pay for. What is important to know is the friend that I asked NEVER refers anyone, unless they are the BEST OF THE BEST and like myself, he will not refer me to anyone unless they provide first class service. As I nonchalantly asked my friend if he knew of a good tattoo artist/professional I was assuming he would simply say fe did not. But I was wrong and I'm glad I asked as he said without doubt or hesitation and with confidence he said, "Master Mike!". I am so happy that I asked and extremely thankful that he referred to me to "Master Mike" at his place in Alhambra called Inkfiened Art Studio. Master Mike took the time to access what I wanted and due to my timing and his timing he set me up with Kevin and I'm glad he did! Kevin is awesome to say the least, he is a true professional and definitely on his A Game!! Kevin is a true professional and treated me as if I was VIP as he was attentive, organized and focused on making sure my tattoo was exactly what I envisioned and more. The final result was more than I ever expected as although my expectations were so high he surprisingly raised the bar! I highly recommend Kevin as well as anyone who is with Master Mike at Inkfiend Art Studio as he will only work with the best of the best! read more

Oh my god, thank you so much Steven. Preface: My friends and I were talking about a spontaneous tattoo and I jumped on the idea and started looking for shops that were open in the area. I found Inkfiend, amazing reviews and beautiful art I was in. My friends and I got there and I got so freaking nervous as I recently got over my fear of needles and pain after getting some piercings, but definitely felt like I was going to vomit. Thankfully, I didn't and Steven took the time to calm me down and really help me with my design and explain why certain adjustments to the design will keep it from looking funky as skin expands and changes. Steven was very knowledgeable and I really appreciated his thoroughness with cleaning and prepping his station and explaining everything. Didn't hurt really, not a stabbing pain but a dull sting. I can't thank Inkfiend enough for the professionalism and making my first tattoo experience amazing. I will definitely be back again when I'm in California. The reviews speak volumes of this Tattoo shop and they have trophies plastered across their walls because of their work, it's truly amazing. Also thank you for letting my friends watch and experience everything, they are a funny group of characters and it was such a fun experience, it literally couldn't have been better! read more

Yeah, this place gets negative stars if I could.

I decided to get a runner with an ekg as I thought it was fitting for me. I wanted something small for my first tattoo and easily to keep hidden from my mom (sorry mom). He asked me to send him a picture of what I wanted and scheduled an appointment for Monday at 11am. Once Monday came I walked over and signed the consent form. He then printed out the tattoo and placed the outline on my chest and asked me if it was where I wanted it. Being a tattoo noob I trusted his judgement. After letting the outline dry I laid down and he began working on the piece. He said since it was a small tattoo and mainly lines there shouldn't be much pain and the healing process wouldn't be as long. It took about 30 mins to finish up the tattoo and the quality came out amazing. There was no pain at all and he went over the aftercare as well. I showed Sam this other tattoo I wanted and he said he would be able to do that as well. He says his art style is realism and anime so I can't wait to get more work done by him. He has been tattooing for 2 years now along with his apprenticeship. He told me to message him when I'm ready for my next piece. Maybe this tattoo thing is an addiction and will keep you coming back for more.

Everyone was pretty close together not much privacy and it seemed like she didn't really know how to do the placement. While doing mine she nearly did the same thing if I didn't speak up about it. With my second cousin her line work was fine but it just came out all slanted, and they kept saying not to pull her lip as much but if she didn't it would've ended up on the edge just like the "$$$" one.

[PRE-CURSOR] I've thought about getting a tattoo sleeve for atleast a couple of years now. I was especially drawn to japanese style tattoos, so I did a ton of research and was initially going to go with an artist down in little tokyo... That was until, i ran into mike's work over at inkfiend. A buddy of mine had posted pictures online of a tattoo sleeve that he had gotten done by mike. The image had a watermark which led me to inkfiends website. I was instantly blown away by the level of detail that was present in mike's work. Although the style was very japanese inspired, it was not traditional japanese... inkfiend seemed to have their own swagger... and i loved that! Their were some personal matters that i needed to tend to before i could get my tattoo, so it wouldn't be till about almost a year later that i'd finally make my appointment and get work done. During that time, I followed the shops work as they'd update their website or myspace(s) with pictures of their recent clients. Initially i had plans to get work done with mike, but as the months went on, i noticed another artists' work caught my eye. More time passed and more work impressed me. The style was very much inkfiends, but this artist gave off a slightly different feel that seemed to suit my personality better. This artist of course, was ken. By no means am i discrediting mikes work, because i respect and appreciate his talent very much. Mikes style and detail is second to none, but i just felt like kens work spoke more to me as an individual. This is the reason why i chose him as my artist. With that being said, I went into the shop and talked to ken about setting up my appointment. I had two other buddies who were also interested in getting tattoos around the same time as me, so they also followed me to the shop. Even though they weren't necessarily looking to get asian-styled artwork, they were confident enough with the talent. One booked an appointment with ken as well, while the other booked his with mike. [THE EXPERIENCE] The shop is very friendly all around. Questions are handled properly without any snooty remarks, unlike some other shops. Me and my friends were all first timer's to tattoos and they were very friendly overall. The rates seem higher than some other shops, but you shouldn't be a cheap-ass about paying for this kind of quality. Especially when you're planning to have it on you for the rest of your life. Cheap tattoos aren't good, and good tattoos aren't cheap! I believe a couple of the apprentices there charge $50/hr. Ken charges $100/hr, and mike is at $150/hr. These prices of course, vary depending on what you're planning to get done. Sometimes they will even give you a set price depending on the size of the art you want. I've been keeping tabs on the apprentices' works and they seem to be improving as well. They've been doing some really tight things, so it looks like they're comin' up just fine. With that being said, you should really look at their books, and talk to the artists before you decide who you want to go with. Each have their own style (while still maintaining the inkfiend swag) so choose one that works best for you. Anyways, i ended up getting a 3/4 sleeve done on my left arm.I only have the outline finished so far, so i need to go back for maybe a couple of sessions. I'll try to write back after it's done, and maybe even include a picture. Both of my buddies that i mentioned earlier got their pieces completely finished in one sitting, and they love them. My girlfriend is actually going in next month for her appointment as well. Simply put: I am so positive about the work coming out of this shop, that i advocated it to 3 other people whom i care for very much. So far, two out of the three are happy. The other will soon follow suit. This will make for 4 (including myself) happy new inkfienders by the end of 2009. -E read more
