2 weeks ago I finally got a tattoo that I have been waiting so long to get. I knew what I wanted but wanted to find the right person to do it bc this tattoo meant a lot to me.. I stumbled across ink yard and did my research up and down.. Got in touch with Emo and within a few days he got me inside the shop. Walked in to an awesome vibe and really clean shop. Emo was there working on drawing out a design for an upcoming tattoo and I was impressed with his work. I went into the shop looking to just talk to him in person about getting some work.. 20 min later we started. It didn't take long for me to decide he was the guy. He does it for the people!! And that's what I loved. The tattoo came out better than I imagined. I highly recommend Emo bc I will for sure be going back to him! He is the man! Go talk to him and you'll understand!! Thanks Emo!! read more

About a year ago Emo did a tattoo on my left shoulder of mine and my mans birth flower. before I did my research on other shops and I pulled up Inkyard web site and looked at all the beautiful work Emo and his crew did on other customers and that made up my mind to go to him and get my tattoo. so glad i did. the tat that he did was the 3rd one and didn't feel a thing. it is the best tattoo i have gotten. Emo and his crew are very professional, not to mention the shop was clean and their work area was spotless. While getting my tat done Emo made me feel very comfortable in get the work done. I will be getting other tat done by Emo. read more

This was my first tattoo and I can tell you hands down it was the best place that I could have gone and I will continue to go here for my other tattoos. I wanted a simple heart with thin clean lines and it's actually a lot harder to accomplish than you would think. Emo executed it perfectly and quickly. He was also so kind and understanding throughout the whole process while also tattooing three of my friends. I can't wait to come back! Thank you for making my first experience even more perfect than I could imagine!! read more

Iv been using Inkyard tatto for years now with my ALL my tattoos ever since they were located in San Bernardino. Emo has done a excellent job on my tattoos I recommend all my family and friends to him. I can always walk in the shop and feel comfortable and the positive vibes also the scenery by the beach is awesome! He did a big piece on my stomach that I ALWAYS get compliments on. I'm actually going to call him and set up an appointment right now for more work ! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED read more

Artist was super nice, easy going, and very accommodating with scheduling. I called in the morning and was able to get an appointment at 6pm that night. When I asked him, he said he had been tattooing for 27 years and it showed. He gave me great work for a very reasonable price. Just fair warning though, have cash on hand or download Venmo, because that's how he accepts payment. Although there is an atm right across the street, so it shouldn't be super difficult to have cash. read more

Had a great experience getting my tattoo here. The artist was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole process comfortable from start to finish. I showed him my idea, and he executed it perfectly--honestly even better than I pictured it. The linework is super clean, and you can tell he takes a lot of pride in his work. I'm really happy with how it turned out and would definitely come back for another tattoo. Highly recommend! read more

I've been going to Emo for years. He has turned my body into art that will last forever. I get complimented everyday on his work and when anyone ever asks about my work I send them his way. He can literally do EVERYTHING!! He lives up to his price. Do NOT go anywhere else in Newport. He's your guy. I've travelled from the IE just to get his work done. He should change his name to TOP NOTCH TATTOO!! read more

I walked into Inkyard after calling the shop an hour before, and Emilio was so helpful! He was so helpful and willing to work with me to find the perfect size of my design. He held great conversation throughout, and made me feel comfortable. Not to mention, his shop dog is the sweetest little lady ever. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone and give more stars if possible. Thank you again! read more

I love his work. He has done all my tattoos and I would never trust anyone more than him. I told him what kind of tattoo I was wanting. He started drawing it and when he was done, it was better than the tattoo I was thinking about. This happened each time. Its clean at his shop and very a comfortable feeling when I walked in. He does beautiful work and he's a very, very nice person. read more

My family and I were on a trip from Nebraska to Cali. We all wanted a small matching tattoo and called last minute.

His line work is on point and his customer service skills are awesome. Thanks for making our trip even better!! read more

This shop is as good as it gets. I have been a fan of Inkyard since the San Bernardino location. Clean and inviting atmosphere with outstanding artwork, that gets attention everywhere.. I would never repeat never let someone else do my art work.. As for the price you get what you pay for .Don't think you can get a priceless artwork the cost of a food stamp. read more
