My girls and I went up to Laguna to celebrate our friend's birthday and we decided we all wanted to get tattoos! Brian was so awesome and accommodating with 4 walk in tattoos. They're beautifully done at a reasonable price, we all had a great time hanging out and chatting. Great quality and great vibe, thank you Brian!! read more

My husband and I walked in to get a matching small tattoo on a Saturday afternoon. Brian was friendly and informative, we came back a few hours later when he was free and he did an amazing job. We'd recommend him to anyone looking for a tattoo artist in Laguna, and we'll definitely be back for more. Thanks Brian! read more

Laguna tattoo is such a gem! Brian's fine line work is amazing and he has the best vibe. I went in with my mom so we can get small matching bee tattoos, and he was incredibly accommodating.

Brian was awesome. Clean shop with a built in history lesson. Beautiful work, would recommend to anyone.

Bryan is super chill, patient and talented. Wife and I went to get something spontaneous and he made it easy. 10/10.

I highly recommend Laguna Tattoo. I got my first tattoo in my 60's after my mom passed away. I wanted a tattoo of a heartfelt message in her handwritting, and Brian's work was beyond reproach. His shop is clean, his attention to detail was impressive, and he just is a good guy. I felt completely comfortable and felt the price was fair. I would recommend him to anyone interested in a high quality tattoo. read more

Our son got his tattoo here today and we are so glad that he did. Brian is truly gifted. He took his time, went over placement, after care, everything. Not all artists understand all the various aspects involved but he certainly does and it shows. If you're going to get a tattoo, it's forever. Go to the best. There's usually plentiful parking in front or nearby streets and the space is warm and inviting. We will be back. read more

Went to Laguna tattoo for my bestfriends birthday to get matching tattoos and Brian was amazing! I've never seen a tattoo artist be so clean and thorough with their supplies, station and with our skin. The tattoos came out absolutely perfect and everything we wanted them to be! We will be returning forsure! read more

Was in Laguna for a long weekend with my husband and had been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while. The idea was to get a tattoo featuring something related to the ocean. The tattoo I got has the most fine line, beautiful detail. It's was not cheap, even for a small tattoo but it's clear this is an art form for Brian. He took the time to draw out the tattoo and made sure the placement was perfect. Very happy. read more

Was looking for a place that does fine line tattoos. This place is owned by Brian and he's the only artist there which is nice because you know who you will get! I called and he didn't pick up but ending up texting me. I actually was shocked. So I sent him my ideas and came in the next day for a free consultation and was able to book him the next day! Brian was very easy to work with. He keeps the shop really clean. This was my first tattoo and I already want another one! The pain wasn't as bad as I thought but he also finished mine in 30 minutes! He uses a clear bandage that you need to keep on for a week and just keep it out of the sun for at least 2 weeks while it heals. Even though his shop is off PCH I actually didn't have trouble getting parking. It is metered but it does take card. As far as tattoo pricing, I think he's very reasonable and tips are appreciated. Cash is king but he will accept other payment methods. read more

I recently got a tattoo on my arm, this was my second tattoo. I went to Brian, he is very patient, kind, and accommodating. He made the process very easy, and he understood what I wanted. He drew up a personalized sketch and took the time to explain the process and the details of the artwork. I really love the end result, and I'll be definitely going back for another tattoo. I would highly recommend the shop. read more

I got my first tattoo from Brian at Laguna Tattoo. Hands down Brian is amazing and professional. I was nervous and could not decide what font I wanted going in. Brian had a lot of fonts for me ready to go. I got my daughters name and could not be happier with the way everything turned out. I will be going back for my second tattoo in a few weeks. Thank you Brian! read more

Brian was great (assuming we worked with Brian. The minute my sister finished he made a joke about it being his first tattoo and not even his business.) He spent plenty of time and helped us each get exactly what we wanted. He has a great hand - he's really a skilled artist. And his attention to sanitary standards was really appreciated. We had a wonderful time and walked away happy. Would definitely go back. read more

Brian at Laguna Tattoo was everything I could ask for and more from a tattoo artist. He was able to take my dad, my cousin, and I as walk-ins and even drew up a design for my cousins tattoo design that he was showing Brian. Unbelievably patient, sanitary standards are top notch, always resetting his setup between people. I really appreciated his attention to detail in terms of the placement of all of our tattoos, I really can't imagine it having gone any better! Highly recommend Laguna Tattoo if you're nearby, or in town!! Thank you so much Brian!!! read more

I will be a lifetime customer at Tattoo Laguna, clean and delightful experience. Brian is extremely responsive and professional. I reached out to him in February and he had an initial consultation with me right away and I was in the shop getting my first tattoo within about a month. His artwork is incredible and the tattoos he has designed has given me so much confidence. I went back a few months later for a Jellyfish piece on my leg, he designed multiple iterations of the design concept, was extremely gracious with small changes I requested to fit the vision I was looking for. The shop is extremely clean, Brian made me comfortable throughout the entire tattoo experience, providing me with extra 2nd skin as backup during the after care process. I do plan on going back for more work and have recommended many friends to the shop given my experience every time has been positive and consistent. read more

I absolutely love this place and want to give a shout out to my favorite artist, Brian. He has done 4 tattoos for me and I would never go to anyone else. He is amazing at what he does and makes the experience awesome with his kindness and humor. He has become a great friend in the time we've spent together. The tattoos he's done for me are extremely meaningful for me and meticulously well done. I am so grateful. He never cuts corners and gives each project the care and attention it deserves. Thanks, Brian!!! The picture I've attached here was taken immediately after completion. I am so impressed and happy with the result! read more

I'm not sure about you, but before getting my first tattoo, I did my research on each shop I came across on Instagram. Tattoos are permanent--so the idea is to get something you'd want to keep forever. My first time coming into the shop was about 2 years ago. Coming into Laguna Tattoo, I didn't know what to expect. Heck, I actually fainted getting my first tattoo (that was my fault haha) because I thought not eating would make me feel less sick seeing my blood. Mandy's actually the one who's been doing all my tattoos, and I love them all & her!! If you're looking for the black/grey & single-needle look, Mandy's your go-to girl. One of my friends got her tattoo done by Marcus, and his artwork's also amazing! Anyway, after coming into the shop a few times, I could see that there's a true bond between each of the artists who work there. It's cool too because you'll notice that the shop includes artists who each aim for their own style of tattooing. They specialize in fine lines, traditional ink, single needle, black work, text--you name it. My advice is to call the shop, or check out each of the tattoo artists' Instagram pages to see what style tattoo you want; then, book your appointment. Keep in mind that some of the artists of the shop will not copy another tattoo artists work! read more

I reached out to Brian about 2 months ago, to lock on an appointment for this past Friday (Dec 3, 2021) We connected a few times in between to briefly discuss ideas. (Austin, TX to Laguna Beach) So why fly to Laguna when there are so many good shops in Austin? I got my last tattoo there 30 years ago (from Leo) - and I must admit - I flew 1400 miles in part for the nostalgic effect and for their quality of work. Brian is certainly keeping the legacy of Laguna Tattoo very much alive. I've been blessed (or cursed) to be able to read people and environments very well. From start to finish, the entire process was phenomenal! Far exceeded my expectations! Brian is an extremely talented, detailed artist. There's a cool, personal story behind this tattoo. This one was well thought out. I am extremely pleased. Thank you Brian. read more

If I could give more stars i would. I followed Brian, now the owner of Laguna Tattoo, from another place. I was so happy with my tattoos that Brian had done in the past that I wanted to make sure I find him again. His attention to detail is unreal and he's so patient and easy to chat with. If you're on the fence - this is your guy! If you have a drawing in mind with fine detail and you want the best - this is place and Brian is your guy! read more

Laguna Tattoo - Recent one - the butterfly (Brian didn't do the one below) - Tattoo Near Me - Laguna Beach, California

Brian was everything I needed in an artist today. I sadly lost my dog today so I went in to get a tattoo to remember her by. I want to preface this by saying it was my first tattoo ever and I had an idea what I wanted to get in order to remember her by, so Brian picked my brain about what I would want and drew out some sketches and tweaked it to fit my liking. He came up with something better than I could have ever imagined. He was so patient and so extremely kind. I walked in so tearful and sad and just talking to him made me feel so at peace. He joked around and made me laugh for the first time today. He made such a sad day for me so much more bearable. He truly is so talented at what he does. With his collaboration and patience, it is an absolute guarantee that you will get what you envision and then some. There is no doubt in my mind that I will go back and when I do go back I will go back with an idea of what I would like but I will probably leave it to Brian to come up with the rest because he is so truly talented and thoughtful with the entire process. read more

I've been wanting a tattoo for a really long time I had done some research and based on some places and reviews, Laguna tattoo had come across I looked into it, saw the designs, and talked to the tattoo artist back and forth and scheduled an appointment. Honestly Brian is the best. I was really nervous because this was my first tattoo I was getting and didn't know what to expect He not only did an amazing job with the design I wanted and consulting, but throughout the process had made it fun and easy to go through I would definitely recommend this place for tattoos Brian is awesome and the work is extraordinary read more

Worth the wait! I'd been wanting to get a piece done by Devin for a while now. When I finally decided to reach out and book an appointment he was booking for 6 months out and I was totally okay with that. Booking the session was super easy. Sent him an email and I got a response within 24-48 hours. Once I placed a deposit I just had to wait. When I got to my appointment Devin drew up the roses I wanted and they were perfect. Devin has a light hand and the session wasn't too bad considering he was tattooing the top of my foot. Devin was super friendly and I would definitely come to him for another piece. It's a smaller shop on a Main Street in Laguna. Street parking only. read more

Not happy what so ever. Do not recommend other then the tattoo is a job for money for Brian. Had a very meaningful tattoo of my dog that I wanted since he passed away and was my soul dog. I was in town going to spread his ashes in the ocean. I was quoted $120-$180. Brian kept trying to tell me where I should put the tattoo. Which in mind I told him 3 times I did not want it like that. I told him I wanted either cursive or a bold cap letters for the dogs name. He would not let me hold the iPad to pick the font and kept going through it fast and saying what looked good to him. I'm an artist as well and do not need someone to tell me what I need to put on my body. When it was almost done. I asked for 3 lines of hair in his ears. Granted this was only lines of the ears and his name. Brian told me we were already at $200. Not sure it had gone from $120 to $200. Told him I was done and wrap my arm. Then there was a $5 charge for the credit card. Overall very disappointing for the lack of care, listening to the customers wants, and the false information of what the price would be. Very disappointing overall. Literally cried when I got in my car. read more

I've been coming to Laguna Tattoo for a few years now and have had the pleasure of getting tattooed by Devin and Fabian. %100 down to earth nice guys. Their work is incredible and I'm blown away every time. They both have amazing styles and I suggest you check out their social media. Fabian is working on my Star Wars piece and I get so many compliments. Fabian- you're my Spider-Man for fixing the hot mess that I came to you with! Devin has tattooed some tiny delicate little hearts on me and his bubble gum scented tattoo goo smells so good haha. I highly recommend you see them. There are a few other artists that I haven't been tattooed by, but I've seen their work and it's pretty rad. Also, I need to touch on something... their social media asks that you message them for inquiries. Please be patient as they get hundreds of messages a day and are working and have families. They will respond to ya as soon as they can. They are not always at the shop and when they are I can betcha they are in the middle of a tattoo so if they can't speak on the phone or maybe sound rushed, THEY ARE NOT being rude. They are most likely trying to give their full attention to the client in their chair. Fabian is in the process of my full sleeve so I'm there often and I see this. One thing I also notice is people scoffing at a quote when they walk in or people upset that they can't get a quote over the phone. You will spend $80 on a mani pedi that lasts two weeks or even $150 on dinner and drinks for a night, but I see soooo many people walk in and look offended by their quote on a piece of art that will last for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. Not to mention you're paying for their time and skill. We're buying art people! So please don't walk in with your YSL bag and try to talk them down in price and don't forget to tip your friendly neighborhood tattoo artist mmkay. :-) Anyways, I highly recommend Laguna Tattoo. I've been sending people who have all had great experiences and I'll keep coming back. The shop is super clean! I've been there when the cleaning person is there so I seeens it! They have a very clean bathroom and the artists are vigilant about the cleanliness of their space. There are a lot of food options within walking distance and there's a little couch inside if you have a friend waiting with you. Plus they Always have rad music playing ! Also parking is on the street so make sure to have a CC or coins for the meters. It's stupid cheap. I'd say I pay $3-$4 for 4 hours. read more

Had the best experience at Laguna Tattoo! Besides that he is an incredible tattoo artist, Brian from Laguna Tattoo is the nicest guy! From start to finish he was always listening to my ideas and he made sure that it was exactly what I wanted. He also took the time to make sure that the placement was right - I never felt rushed or pressured. I can highly recommend getting a tattoo from him and I will for sure be back to get another piece of his art. Thanks again so much! read more

Brian is an amazingly talented artist. My friend and I came in as walk ins and had the entire shop to ourselves for the night. He was super professional, had a mask on the whole time, and was an amazing conversationalist. I am in love with the work he did. Super fine lines and impeccable work. 10/10 am coming back. He even touched up a tattoo my friend wanted fixed for a very long time! We are absolutely stoked. read more

Brian was the best!!! It's obvious working with him that he genuinely cares about you and your artwork. We had such a great experience.... my bestie loved Brian so much she ended up getting one too, which turned into a late night of non stop laughs! Didn't know this but the shop is a landmark in Laguna Beach that has been there 39 years. It's close to everything too, downtown within walking distance. The artwork on the walls was amazing and we had fun looking through it. Definitely loved the place and the line work he did was amazing. I'd recommend this place to my friends. read more

I've been tattooed at this shop several times and I have loved my experience every time. It's a small shop and a little pricey, but it's worth it for the quality and great customer service you get. I'm covered in tattoos at this point and have been tattooed by many different artists. The tattoos that come out of this shop are the better tattoos I have and have aged the best out of my different pieces. Definitely recommend! read more

Greatest experience from set up to walking out the door I couldn't have asked for more. Brian is super funny but takes his work super serious. 10/10 recommend, and i'm coming back. read more

This was my first tattoo and everyone in this show was so welcoming, got mine March 2020 right before they had to close.

Would highly recommend this place for fairly priced and high quality tats! read more
